A fair warning to you: IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF UPDATES FOR THE NVIDIA DRIVER
Since a few weeks ago, Nvidia changes their driver ToS, and any new versions of the driver are not permitted to be used in datacenters (except for crypto mining).

- ovao 9y agoThe terms of service would (potentially) only apply to Hetzner, not to users of Hetzner's services.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoNvidia is going to have a difficult time enforcing that in the EU (where Hetzner operates).
- kuschku 9y agoThat is a good point, but if a US citizen rents a server from Hetzner, they might still be affected. Better safe than sorry.

- zzzcpan 9y agoHow do you see Nvidia enforcing it on individuals?
- kuschku 9y agoNot necessarily now, but if you decide to turn that little ML project into a startup, staying on the same infrastructure at first, Nvidia might just come after you. Considering this is HN, it's a pretty safe assumption that people are running these side projects to turn them into startups.
- zzzcpan 9y agoHow would they know your startup is doing ML violating their EULAs? I really don't see how this can be a concern for anyone, but very few companies.
- mark_l_watson 9y agoThanks for the heads up. I don;t plan on updating the drivers - everything works fine and hopefully nvidia drivers don’t need security updates.
