For years, everyone in my bus simulator or servers was asking me, Kai, why is our server so bitchy?
7

40
Then we are good to go and we can start checking out our location.
41
We show our certificates for our customers.
42
We have the ISO 2701 for example, or the other certificates here.
43
Of course we have redundancy and yeah, you cannot access anywhere here or any room without a transponder.
44
Yeah, ISO.
45
D-norm.
46
D-norm, yes.
47
You guys in Germany are like this.
48

50
Let's do it.
51
There is no food allowed here.
52

I will just leave it here for now, okay?
56
Yeah, just...
57
This is all drinks.
58
Yeah, for our...
59
For water cooling or...?
60
No, for our staff members.
61
Look, there's one plant in the data center.
62
Fanta.
63
When the GPUs come, all of this...
64
So now we are walking.
65
Do we have like cars to go there?
66
No, we always walk in German.
67
So you have to keep going?
68
Yeah, like 20 000 steps per day.
69
There's another door.
70
Is it like retina scan?
71
No, it's like a transponder.
72
It's another door.
73
We cannot like just drive outside.
74
We could, but that wouldn't be very general.
75
Maybe you should take off your jacket.
76
It would help you.
77
It's another door.
78
There's no faster way to go.
79
If you walk first it...
80
This is like the sixth door now already.
81
You don't have golf cards I can use here?
82
No. But if it's too much walking for you we can go inside a data center now.
83
Yo, before we get started I want to know one thing.
84
Are you SOC 2 compliant?
85
Temple of innovation.
86
It's a bit loud in here, can you turn the AC off?
87
No, you see those big air conditions,
88
it gets cooled down, goes through our raised floor and then goes into the racks, the cool air is rising up,
89
the server takes what he needs, the warm air comes outside like rises to the top and goes out of the ceilings.
90
Do you do water cooling for the GPUs?
91
No, we do not use any water cooling at the moment, we are cooling the GPUs with air. From outside?
92
Yeah, with those things here.
93
And that's enough, that's enough.
94
Germany must get very cold in here huh sometimes it's very cold
95
and rainy it's getting very warm
96
and maybe we should go inside that's a lot maybe yeah it's very hot
97
but it's louder let me open the door for you ah
98
a lot cooler yeah this is better yeah oh you're a
99
bayern fan you are a bayern fan of course yes most people are
100
so these are just like axle machines or what do they do they are doing whatever you want.
101
If I had just you know hypothetically 50 000 web sockets connections at a time yeah at like 3 p.m
102
or whatever school ends yeah would these things hold up for it?
103
Yeah but we need to move it to another rack where we have a bigger network bandwidth.
104
Could you turn down the network bandwidth for the other customers for a few hours then?
105
No I cannot.
106
Everyone gets the same bandwidth.
107
You share it.
108
I just want to make sure I'm not tapping into hot lava here.
109
What is your uptime?
110
The network uptime for those servers you see here is 99.9%.
111
What if a meteor hits?
112
Then you probably need a geolocation redundancy and order two separate cloud servers or root servers.
113
Then you are safe for media attacks.
114
Here you see if you want to go inside our storage servers
115
if you need to pick up a lot of pictures
116
and videos for privacy reasons so
117
if someone from outside of Germany holds a lot of data yeah is he eligible for German citizenship no what
118
if it's like petabytes of data do a lot of people
119
host their Minecraft servers here not Not on storage servers but on the others.
120
We have also a lot of Minecraft servers.
121
As Hetzner, what makes you stand out?
122
What makes us stand out is our do-it-yourself mentality.
123
We do not outsource anything.
124
Also, the whole data center is constructed by us or designed by us.
125
And as we do everything on our own, we can lower the prices and provide you cheaper servers with higher value.
126
And what makes you not stand out?
127
What makes us not stand out?
128
That's a good question.
129
Thank you.
130
You know, you are famous in the world.
131
You have a cult-like developer following on Hacker News.
132
What would you like to say as a message to your fans out there?
133
Yeah, thank you.
134
If I want to get like 20 megawatts.
135
That's a lot of service.
136
Can I like rent it by tomorrow?
137
No, not possible I think.
138
Do you know what I'm trying to do?
139
Do you want to know?
140
Yeah, of course.
141
Tell me.
142
You want to scam kids I heard about?
143
No. You know, you are like the promised land on Hacker News.
144
Yeah.
145
People say you don't market, you just work.
146
They say Hetzner is practicality over hype.
147
That's right because we...
148
But I like hype.
149
And a lot of air conditions in here.
150
Yeah, we have like, I would say, 15 units here.
151
It's still no eating here.
152
It's just small.
153
No, no eating.
154
We have to go to a different room for that.
155
Okay.
156
Also, no vaping.
157
Our fire...
158
But it's not smoking, it's 95% better than smoking.
159
I don't care, the fire detection will...
160
Why not Frankfurt?
161
Why here in.. what's this called?
162
Falkenstein.
163
Okay, whatever, yeah.
164
Because here it is very cold, most of the time, and we have the possibility to grow.
165
Like, around us only fields, but we have two redundant fiber optic cables to Frankfurt.
166
So you have some in Frankfurt?
167
The peering point is in Frankfurt.
168
We don't have a data center in Frankfurt.
169
What's your renewable energy percentage and...
170
Why am I even asking this question? Who cares?
171
Let's keep going.
172
We have 100% renewable energy.
173
100%.
174
Is there lights in here?
175
Where's like the metal piece?
176
We do not need a metal piece.
177
That's our own design.
178
Looks a little bit, you know, it's like not my style, but it hasn't to be fancy it needs to work and that's a critical thing.
179
But you cannot just put like some neon lights fan in here.
180
We could do but I don't want to dance the whole night in the data center.
181
But how much effort is it to set up a fresh Linux server?
182
Like five minutes.
183
Five minutes and the Linux server is done?
184
Yeah we have a rescue system starting with the server, einmal Linux, or set up a raid, it depends on what you want.
185
Also Windows.
186
Windows?
187
You can also install Windows on that, yeah.
188
Install it, reboot the server, the server boots into the operating system.
189
Firewall, I think would be nice.
190
Tool which checks your locks.
191
You can also open the SSH port for everyone.
192
And after like 320 hours when I figured everything out, then the server is ready.
193
The server is ready the whole time, yeah.
194
Yeah, that's our tables for our data center technicians.
195
Yeah, they sit here like...
196
They sit here and work.
197
Yeah, and talk with you via mail.
198
What's the password?
199
123. Will I have like ping zero here?
200
If you stand right next to it, of course.
201
So if I log in and I run like a quick COD session, I will have...
202
To all the haters, we will have ping zero right here.
203
Can I charge my phone real quick here?
204
If you touch that, you are dead.
205
But at least my laptop I can.
206
No, we need to go somewhere else.
207
Siri.
208
What are the computer requirements for an eSports tournament server?
209
I thought you know what to do.
210
Yeah, yeah.
211
It's just, you know, sometimes I just want to check if the AI is still up to date.
212
You know what I mean?
213
Ah, okay, okay.
214
Do I get a shock if I touch it?
215
No, of course not.
216
Bare metal. Is he gone?
217
Yes.
218
Where is the bodenheber?
219
five aisles are connected to one sub user.
220
What's the display saying?
221
67. Why not the 100?
222
Because if you're running always 100%, then the system failure is a lot higher.
223
You can put like a desk and a chair and it's like a whole like another floor on here, you know?
224
It's a perfect table, yeah, but we do not do it here.
225
Okay, so what is this for below?
226
Below it's for all of our cables which come to the aisle and for the cooling system.
227
Where is the fresh air coming? From here?
228
You feel it?
229
Oh yeah, I feel it.
230
Can I put the...
231
There's still no eating allowed.
232
We are in Germany, there are strict rules.
233
Okay.
234
Can you help me out? Because I'm...
235
Okay.
236
Ah, now I've solved.
237
What's the SLA you said again I'm gonna get?
238
The SLA's are only for cloud service.
239
There you get 99.9% uptime.
240
What happens the rest 0.01?
241
Maintenance.
242
Maintenance.
243
No problem.
244
What kind of redundancy do you have in the power supply?
245
We have a UPS system, so in case the power gets cut for any reason for a data center,
246
it switches to our battery system in milliseconds, so your eSports servers do not crash.
247
Why they don't host eSports servers?
248
Your other servers which do not host any eSports do not notice anything.
249
But does the generator fail over time?
250
Yeah, the diesel generator needs up like one or two minutes. In frames.
251
And then the diesel generator takes over...
252
Diesel generator...
253
...gener...
254
...generator takes over...
255
You see?
256
Pretty windy.
257
Cold.
258
Typical German weather.
259
Yeah.
260
Germany is generally very cold. Of course.
261
Also socially.
262
Yeah.
263
Now we're going to the diesel generators.
264
How many PS does this have?
265
Postpare?
266
Like more than a thousand.
267
Okay.
268
And this is in case the German power goes down a little bit.
269
Does it ever go down?
270
No. Why do you have these then?
271
In case a meteor strikes.
272
Or what is this?
273
Toilet?
274
It's a surveillance room.
275
Ah, this is where you monitor the people in the data center?
276
No, the diesel generator.
277
Can I quickly switch it on?
278
Why the barbed wire?
279
Is this a prison or...?
280
No, because we have our certificates and one states that we have to...
281
close unwanted people out.
282
What kind of people you want to keep out?
283
Like robbers.
284
What are they going to rob?
285
Your data.
286
Your service?
287
They're gonna take the data.
288
Of course they can.
289
Is it worth a lot of money, taking the data?
290
Is your eSports tournament worth a lot of money?
291
It's not an eSports tournament.
292
Oh, there's actually someone.
293
Hello?
294
Oh, they only speak German.
295
Okay.
296
Guten Tag.
297
Guten Tag.
298
Ich bringe.
299
Gebt hier aus.
300
Okay, they're calling the police.
301
I need to subscribe for minimum or I can do, you know, go on a trial, cancel and all that?
302
Our servers are hourly charged, so if you only need two hours, you only get charged for those two hours and not for the whole month.
303
And then I can shut it down?
304
You have to cancel this, not only shut it down.
305
Okay.
306
And then I have to again start?
307
Correct.
308
And install the Linux for 72 days?
309
Yeah.
310
Okay.
311
If you are not high EQ enough, maybe check out our cloud servers.
312
They just click on I want any Linux server and within seconds you have it.
313
No, I really know this stuff.
314
I'm very into it.
315
Okay.
316
But how does it again work?
317
Yeah, we test different cooling systems.
318
This is not air conditioning here?
319
No, no, it's a testing station.
320
Okay, for fans.
321
What fans?
322
Those fans.
323
Look, a bike.
324
German quality.
325
These are important people?
326
No, everyone is important here at Hezner.
327
But they are like management level or where?
328
One is management level, yeah.
329
The other is personal.
330
Okay, who's the manager?
331
Jobs.hezner.com apply.
332
No, it's...
333
I think it's career.hezner.com now.
334
What do they get?
335
Like holidays, 68 days?
336
You get 30 days of holiday a year.
337
Okay.
338
When do they actually work then?
339
At the other times.
340
Okay, but no, they take like what, 200 days of sick leave in Germany?
341
No, we do not have many sick days at the moment.
342
Okay.
343
Germany do not take sick days.
344
We come here even if you are sick.
345
Oh, the certificates.
346
Again, our certificates, yeah.
347
Do I get like one of the engineers to come by every now and then, do a quick checkup?
348
No. What about Lufthansa miles?
349
Also no Lufthansa miles.
350
A lot of international customers have to host in Germany.
351
Yeah.
352
Because they want to be on neutral ground.
353
Is this big business for you?
354
It's also big business for us, yeah.
355
How big business?
356
Like big, big business or?
357
Big business.
358
What's the benefit for an international customer to host in Germany right now?
359
The main benefit is the GDPR.
360
Because we are compliant to that and following strict rules.
361
I care about ping inequality.
362
Diesel generator...
363
Diesel generator takes over.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
