Interesting thing i've learned over the years from dealing with server hosting:
Game population rarely grows linearly, the odds for a server to be half full are dramatically smaller than for it to be empty or full.
(I also want to emphasize that this has been a problem for *at least* a decade, and in some ways has become *less* of a problem over that time.)
Since people are getting restless about Hetzner again: yes, those kinds of TOS are problematic. However, and this is crucial, they are also *common* - even if not every hosting provider tells you upfront.
Does this justify such terms? No. But it means that you need to think carefully about what your actual anticipated problems are, and whether moving to a different provider is actually a good solution.
When it comes down to it, virtually every cheap hosting provider is going to be extremely strict on acceptable usage of their services; usually they will enforce a strict and conservative interpretation of the local legislation, because simply put, fighting legal cases costs money.
Hetzner sticks out right now due to recent incidents, but consider how big they actually are; at that scale, two incidents do not make a pattern, and unless you *know* that another provider is more friendly to your cause (and this will likely have a pricetag attached), other options are not necessarily better.

@rune I realized after a while that they're the same person who made the very long Evermore video, and I think all their videos are Like This

@schratze would you like your bad user experience in “we intentionally made it bad” or in “we don’t know how to not make it bad”

@Byte The Efteling gets a lot of things right, operationally (I've been mildly fascinated by this for a while), but this one surprised even me, to be honest.

food-related, medical diet, positive
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space Om trouwens maar even een ervaring aan het lijstje toe te voegen: bij Toverland waren ze heel behulpzaam om het voor me uit te zoeken, maar ze waren duidelijk niet voorbereid op de vraag, en het omvatte wat graven in het magazijn om de doos te vinden. Maar dat was geen probleem, dat ging zonder morren.
(Wat eigenlijk best gek is, want Toverland is verder heel erg van de PDFjes met informatietabellen op de website... d'r zit daar duidelijk ergens een documentatienerd)
food-related, medical diet, positive
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space Dat is geen hyperbool, trouwens. Dat zijn meermaals de letterlijke woorden van een medewerker bij een afhaalrestaurant geweest.

@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space "Ja meneer, er zit inderdaad zout in"
"..."
food-related, medical diet, positive
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space Het trieste is dat in dit aspect de Efteling een beetje een voorloper lijkt te zijn... het is elders in NL nog slechter gesteld. Ik heb het vragen om voedingswaarden in (afhaal)restaurants inmiddels maar opgegeven.

(For a bit of background context: my diet is *extremely* difficult to cook for, because basically every salt replacement runs afoul of some other dietary restriction...)
