I think they created a subsidiary company in the US for their US offering and I don't think the US cloud act can compel the parent company to do anything? Whereas the inverse direction was problematic.

Hetzner also has facilities in Finland and even bought into a low-latency undersea cable for that purpose. They are also expanding into the US currently.

If the site doesn't make many requests in order to work (like for instance HN) then you can also use it just fine despite being very far away from their DC. And by optimizing for few requests and small size, you also get the additional

Out of curiosity, what are the lambdas doing that requires more than 2-4 GB of RAM?

Maybe 5+ years ago. These days ~4€/month gets you 2GB of RAM, SSD storage and plenty of bandwidth. Hetzner has such a VPS offering (2GB RAM/20GB nvme SSD/20TB bandwidth), netcup has one for ~3€, contabo has 8GB/50GB nvme

Probably would run just fine on a <= 4 euro/month virtual machine too. Of course it doesn't quite scale to zero like APIGW,lambda,etc. but on the other hand you can be fairly confident to not pay more if your pet project sudden

That's such a shame. Would have been a no-brainer for an anycasted authoritative dns setup otherwise. Hope you get around to it soon!

There is as good interoperability as is possible with various transition technologies allowing IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to reach other, with various variants of NATs or tunneling of IPv4 over IPv6 and vice-versa, mapping individual IPv6 addresse

Depends on what you are after. You need long baselines if you want high resolution. However if you want high sensitivity there is no way around having a large collecting area. And since we are not looking to detect the sun in super high res

That's part of the problem: Old ISPs usually have plenty of IP addresses hoarded and are less affected by the run-out. It's more newly formed companies that are hit by this, since they have none and have to buy them at ever increa

Even the full planned constellation has a smaller collecting area than Arecibo had (~60 000 m^2 vs ~73 000 m^2 for Arecibo) - and that's not even considering that for half the constellation the earth will be in the way, not the full di

The problem is that IPv4 is not forward-compatible and not that IPv6 is not backward compatible. There are things that map every IPv4 address to a IPv6 address, so from the IPv6-side it is backwards compatible.

In my experience slack/discord are close to unusable when you have a really bad internet connection (for example on certain trains). They will pretend to send your message, but it will not actually go through (if you even manage to sta

That depends on the used email client. At least in thunderbird it's as easy as hitting the "reply list" button (as it automatically detects the email was sent via a email list).

Why do you think this would result in a different outcome in Germany? The language of the new law in Germany is virtually identical to the language of the EU directive. So why would it be different in Germany versus other countries in the E

There is a second paragraph to this article that contains exceptions to this. If it is absolutely necessary for the requested functionality then it is allowed. Therefore it doesn't really change anything.

I haven't used Discord too much, but my main gripe (apart from calling communities "servers") was that most communities had way too many channels already, but haven't seen them in action, so maybe that strategy works bet

For me it's the inverse, I am having a real hard time with threads on slack. But no issue following discussions on busy IRC channels. It's probably just a matter of getting used to it one way or the other.

This would also be possible with IPv6 (not with DHCP involvement, but with other mechanisms). But the issue is that some ISPs (and cloud providers) simply don't care or even actively drag their feet (since it may be in their business i

That exists for IPv6 in various variants: 6in4, teredo, 6to4, etc. (and the inverse variants of tunneling IPv4 over IPv6 also exist in many different forms). Many of those can be used even if your own ISP has no support for IPv6 at all. Man
