I got pwned by my cloud costs
Can somebody explain to me why I wouldn&#x27;t just rent a 40 EUR dedicated server from Hetzner with unlimited traffic and gigabit uplink? His 600GB&#x2F;day is way less than what you get over a gigabit link within a day. Sure, sudden bursts would perhaps &quot;throttle&quot; at a gigabit, but according to his article that was only the cloudflare proxy anyhow, so no pain in having that take a few seconds longer.<p>As far as I am concerned, I just don&#x27;t understand why people use cloud services.
