I got a pretty nice dedicated server with 2x3 TB HDD + 20 TB/month of traffic for just 25€/month. Was great for hosting >1 TB of video content publically.

I don't understand the pricing. There's a base fee of 0.0081 €/h, which I guess then is translated into 5.00 €/month? Or is that 0.0081 €/h + 5.00 €/month? And that gives me a 1 TB-hour of free usage, and if I use the object storage for the whole month, it's 720 TB-hours of free usage, except if the month has more or less than 30 days (so it's actually between 672 TB-hour and 744 TB-hour of free quota of storage)? And those TB-hours expire at the end of the month, so you might as well store files if you're under a 1 TB?

Amazon S3 pricing looking more and more sane.


Agree that the pricing model is highly unclear (which is usual for cloud services).

It does not tell me if I should count hours in hour-of-the-day, or lapsed time. Also the example tries to demonstrate a case of "you don´t have to pay extra", but then falls silent. Nice, not the info I am looking for.

What about envisioning a customer who asks «what am I going to pay? Specify it right now, right here».


It's not explained very clearly and made more complicated by being charged hourly instead of monthly, but essentially there's a minimum charge of €5 per month, which includes 1TB of storage and about 1TB of bandwidth.

That's not how I read it or what their example says. As I understand it, if you create a bucket and then delete it again within the hour, you only pay for one hour. I think the 5€/month is if you have active buckets the whole month, since it's less than if you actually had to pay for all the hours.

30 * 24 * 0.0081 = 5.83

28 * 24 * 0.0081 = 5.44


That's correct, that's why the hourly billing makes it more complicated. If you don't use cloud storage the entire month you only pay for the time you do use it, and you only get included quota proportional to the amount you pay for. The sum of hourly costs is capped at €5 per month, which is also how it works for their VPSes.

Def needs a calculator if they intend to stay with this model at all IMO.

Yeah we are big fans of Hetzner and this pricing model makes no sense. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it and the strange limits associated with it.

>What have we done?

You mean "what have I done".


The spam filtering system sure as shit isn't working. The amount of spam DMs I get is crazy. The trends section has also been busted for ages. Click on the "Show more" link and it shows you less.

Yeah, that's the bit that finally made me delete that account.

I was pissed at Musk and his nonsense anyway - but the amount of random spam on there just made it annoying to use.

I mean, no I don't want a discount on a boob job ... but thanks.


You mean the ones that don't want to go to the office? What's the point of taking in talent, getting them up to speed at Google and then having them leave after 12–18 months?

You're not going to get a VP job talking like that.

The general opinion here on HN seems to be that the most talented that can easily land a new job are the first to leave - might be a good time to skim the cream of the crop, even if for 12-18 months. Who knows, many might even stay when every other major company moves to RTO.

Love to drag my Jira ticket through like three different approval stages, none of which are relevant to my team.

Are all ships carrying fertiliser damaged?

How much of your net pay do you even need to spend on rent?

I can't answer for them but when I was first starting out, roughly 50% of my paycheck was rent and utilities.

>take Mozilla for example

I thought Firefox was open source?


That's not it, Mozilla decided to leave the fediverse and has been loading Firefox with AI and opt-out tracking features. All while still being funded by Big G.


I'm assuming they left the fediverse because it ended up not being a huge success, and not because they suddenly pivoted against decentralization.


> Mozilla decided to leave the fediverse

did they? their mastodon instance at mozilla.social still seems to exist.


They recently announced that it'll be shutting down.

But interaction between accounts is still not possible?


The blocked person can obviously create a new account and bypass that block to some degree, but as other have mentioned it will prevent them from reposting on their main account


Unless they do a screenshot. Not a big deterrent.


Yes, the article says “engagements are still not allowed under blocks”. Then again, interaction in the general sense can still happen (you can always take a screenshot and post that).
