They stopped provisioning some of them for a couple of weeks. no word on their status and/or offer page. API calls just failed. Turns out that they ran out of IPv4 space but were not able to communicate that to their customers in a pro

Hetzner clearly seems to focus on long term relationships but without long contracts. The longer you're a happy customer the more profit they can make out of a one time hardware expense.

They start with a higher setup fee when new hardware gets introduced and lower the setup fee during the lifetime when hardware gets cheaper.

Hetzner pre-provisions systems. If you're a existing customer in good standing and don't have special wishes (e.g. you don't enter something in the "comment" field of the order) your system will be ready in ~5-10 mi

I'm a customer of both and the author of two rubygems (one for the Hetzner API, one for the Digitial Ocean API). From my experience Hetzner is 10x faster, more reliable and more professional. e.g. no changes to production APIs without

German law provides a 14 days cancellation period. If you're from abroad read the T&C and try asking Hetzner support upfront about that. Also, Hetzner has an auction platform for used servers without setup fee (of course not the la

What about if the UX of the Root Certificates management gets betters? In OSX keychain you can just click on e.g. the DoD CA root certificates and permanently un-trust them globally. We need an easy and good UX for every new thing, so why n

Same goes for S/MIME which uses X.509, too. But S/MIME recently got traction and usability again because of OSX Mail.app and iOS mail support. People should really consider S/MIME for mail encryption as nearly every MUA (mail

CAs are not a single point of failure because your private key should never leave your computer. S/MIME is based on X.509, same thing that powers TLS/SSL.

It's already build in e.g. Mail.app. We need no software. We need public awareness, tutorials and probably some easy to use CA. I bet the adoption rate of S/MIME is way beyond gpg if you check corporations and large enterprises. f

that's possible with PGP, too, if you don't verificate key in person. E.g. "hey Alice, I lost my passphrase, please use the attached key or ID xxxx on one of the keyservers" It's even easier to do, because you don&#

use S/MIME, leave gpg for special cases. S/MIME works everywhere (Outlook, Mail.app, iOS, Thunderbird, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Lotus, ... ) out of the box. No plugins required.

While I liked Flattr I doubt that it's a sustainable service: It's a huge vendor lock in, like iTunes, but without a large user base/customers that are probably worth to accept the terms and conditions and the vendor lock in.

Awesome stuff which makes me sad: Here in Germany OpenData and Open Government is really bad. The government started an initiative, later backed out in nearly every aspect of "openness" and hired some Fraunhofer FOKUS people (fede

excellent job! Afaik United Internet / 1&1 — the company they had a bad marriage with — still uses the original code and makes a lot of money with it. Personally, I would not approach 1&1 with any idea after reading that story.

If you still don't accept that software is a process not a product you're going to have a bad time. With every technology stack on this planet.

from Germany a.ns13.net and b.ns13.net return NXDOMAIN. Both seem to be located in JP. The other DNS are working for me. They recently switched their backend to a new platform (May 29th) maybe this issue is related…

It's a myth that large companies have a lot of repitition tasks. They know how to automate. No need to tell them what they already do. As my postings are focussed on the German market, I rarely see real Lean Startups that. It's still very c
