Uk kids about to discover the power of Hetzner Linux vps + vnc.

• dryarzeg 4mo ago
  And then UK residents are going to discover the "power" of government which will require age verification for renting a VPS or VDS or any other kind of cloud infrastructure, tied directly to your passport/ID, because "many families are desperate for this to happen and I listen particularly to bereaved families that say the longer we delay this, the more children are put at risk". /j or /s P.S. by the way, is it possible for them to use Hetzner? Don't they need something like credit card?

    Perhaps it'll work like dodgy boxes/firesticks, where you have a handful of people who individually set up their own service then charge a fee for access.

    What about the services that rent vps/compute for crypto?
    • dryarzeg 4mo ago
      I'm not so sure, but aren't some attempts to regulate the cryptocurrencies (therefore completely obliterating their initial goal to be government-independent) already have been made? Maybe I'm wrong though, because I don't really remember... Probably I have to look it up. Anyway, how would they obtain the (let's say) Bitcoin to pay for VPS?

    To the best of my knowledge, customers must be 18 or older to enter contracts with us / become customers. --Katie (Hetzner)

      Thank you for sharing the reliable information from (well, at least somewhat) official source.
