ugh. hetzner just announced a pretty significant price increase. I'm going to have to start some serious downsizing before that happensπŸ˜•
@jerry Be ready for all providers to announce some in the coming weeks, the hardware world is on fire right now thanks to OpenAI and their shenanigans to kill their competitors (and the AI bubble overall).
OVH announced a 10-15% increase as well.
@renchap I don't blame Hetzner, and I know they aren't the only ones. It's going to soon impact just about everything else we do online, I am guessing.
@jerry I foresee a 25% to 50% price increase in the next 2 years for everything requiring hardware, including servers, cloud but also laptops and phones. This will have a *huge* impact.
@renchap @jerry Well that's hard to predict as nobody knows when the bubble will burst. It could be as well that in 2 years we all run on refurbished AI company equipment bought for pennies on the dollar.
