Bragging about switching to Hetzner always reminds me of my friend bragging about buying a $500 honda civic. What a great deal! He soon had a much larger tool chest and oil-stained jeans, and learned a lot more about cars :)

- gwern 5y agoI think it's the other way around. People like to brag about their complex AWS setup and how easy it is... well, except for this lifecycle policy, and you need to edit this XML, and yeah, this limit on VM types is not documented you have to request it be lifted, and you did remember to whitelist your IP range so you can log in right, and yes I know you'd think you could serve that file but the CORS headers need to be set in the AWS console, and redirects have to be uploaded with a special config option in s3cmd it's not just a list of regexps and... Meanwhile on my Hetzner, I log in, tweak stuff directly, and it works. My static site wound up being much easier and more comprehensible when I dropped all the AWS stuff. I don't miss AWS one bit.
