no vote from me… hetzner hosting without GPU
Agree with snapo84…already a large concentration of nodes at Hertzner
CPU-only nodes running in over-represented datacenters (such as Hetzner) are now being disabled and asked to make changes to continue operating, see here.
Could you please reconsider and state that you could run a node with the required GPU? I’d consider that a necessary requirement to be pre-selected.
Good afternoon. Before that, I just raised all the nodes of different projects on Hetzner. In this case, Yes, I can raise the node at home with a GPU, but the RAM will not be 64 but 32 GB and the Internet speed will be 200 MB\s

Thank you, a home node with 32GB of ram would be better than a node on hetzner
Based on response, has my vote.
Good application has my vote.
