Hetzner has long been affordable due to its subpar latency and protection, making this price increase very questionable. No one has real reason to choose hetzner if it is not affordable. OVH ends it, one Romanian provider as well.

Good for him.

The reason Hetzner was cheap was bad latency and Arbor.

They're using Arbor, they were cheap for that exact reason.

Now that people don't care about Anti DDoS - this happens.

In the past everyone was leaving Hetzner for the OVH/Voxility due to terrible latency and nonexistent protection.

because I'm from Serbia so I was released immediately instead of actually being jailed like my friend from Croatia ~

Nah, I'm just talking about the possibilities

I know, but people love the feel of "power", especially when it's cheap or even free

Literally specific to "did I make this skid angry or not", it takes $5 to DDoS a website (bypassing cloudflare included)

Anyone that has $5.

Because of 2018 operation "Power OFF" but it's still pretty easy to take anything down.

Hetzner has the WEAKEST DDoS protection out of ANYTHING out there - Arbor sucks.

Send me your website url and I'll keep it down for DAYS and whenever you cry to hetzner I'll just fry it again, it's that easy and that's why they're the cheapest - because everyone ran away from them back then.

No but because all of us were arrested in 2018 for running DDoS-4-hire services. Bypassing cloudflare is very easy and I still can fry any of your websites (if i wanted to, just like any other skid)

I was arrested by Interpol in 2018 because of warrants issued by the NCA, DOJ, FBI, J-CAT, and several other agencies, all due to my involvement in running a DDoS-for-hire website. Honestly, anyone can bypass Cloudflare, and anyone that want to take your website down - will take it down. It's just that luckily for all of us most of the DDoS-4-hire websites are down nowadays but there are still many botnets out there that will get past basically any protection and you can get access to them for basically $5.

It's not a chip but a sensor. The difference between 1/1.28'' and 1/1.14'' may not sound much but the whole tech of the IMX903 (double stacked CMOS for better light gathering, better video performance, cinematic mode) would make it way better. So it'd perform better at night (video especially), it'd have huger pixels & would allow Apple's 24mp mode to truly shine as it'd capture an amazing level of texture any time of the day, like this it just doesn't matter as much
