Last month, we gave people a rare look behind the scenes 👀 We opened the doors of our data center in Nuremberg for guided tours organized together with the Bürgerverein Nürnberger Westen. The strong interest showed just how curious many people are about the infrastructure that powers so much of our everyday digital lives, even though it usually remains out of sight. Thank you to everyone who joined &amp; shared their curiosity with us!

@hetzner How do you ensure security during such tours? What stops anyone from unplugging random cables, or inserting malicious USB devices?

@hetzner Aww, why did I miss this? I wish I could've been there 😢

@hetzner wait a minute, that doesn't look very "serverless" at all!

@hetzner now they, too, know how boring data centres are

@hetzner Oh no, I missed out on something great. I hope you will offer another behind-the-scenes tour like that some time. Is there a newsletter for that?

@hetzner C'est du voyeurisme, je n'autorise personne à regarder mes bytes sortir de mon serveur. Non mais !

@hetzner@mastodon.hetzner.social unlike that you do that, but I REALLY hope my server wasn’t on that rack!

@hetzner@mastodon.hetzner.social Look, that's your $33/mo dedicated server. :hotboi:
