Hetzner looks so good and I wanted to move my storage there, but as I tried to create an account I was requested to upload the picture of an ID. I said OK, I mean, they're just trying to guard against some edge cases. However, then they just sent an email that my account is closed and this is final. No answer to my mails either.

As a result, I'm obviously very reluctant to believe the praise about them as I found this incredibly rude. There ought to be a better way to do this. I realize that this is only tangentially related to their technology, but still.

There's a fork with new features: https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv

I was a lurker, but your post has inspired me to create an account. Thank you for reminding us that people can be good.
