From experimenting with AI and taking a deep dive into our new cloud network stack to container registry architecture, cloud performance and Europe’s GPU dilemma, there’s plenty to discover in today’s sessions. Plus, our visitors can explore our hardware, hit the gaming area and connect with others.
The team is ready, and the first guests are arriving, and things are already getting busy. Here’s a look behind the scenes as the day kicks off.
Our KVM console provides full remote access to your server, even when SSH isn’t enough. It can help with troubleshooting, accessing the boot menu, fixing network configuration issues, or even booting a custom operating system via an ISO. And did you know? KVM console access is free for 3 hours.
Curious what you run once the folders get big and messy. What are you on, how much hardware does it take, and is there anything you'd change about it?

We've added a new point of presence in Warsaw. For our customers in Eastern Europe, that means better access and lower latency to local access networks. It also serves as a backup route for our C-Lion1 submarine cable connection.
Without saying how old you are, describe your age in terms of technology. For example, “I started going online when AOL began sending out those free CDs with 100 free hours on them.”
Our new GPU server is built around the NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition.
Compared to the Ada card in the GEX44:
• VRAM: 20 → 24 GB GDDR7 ECC
• CUDA cores: 6,144 → 8,960
• Tensor cores: 192 → 280 (5th gen, now with FP4)
• Power: still 70 W

At your IT job, do you have duties that aren’t really technical in nature, like managing a team, hauling hardware around, doing paperwork or something else? What are yours? And do you welcome those non-IT tasks or not? Are they pleasant distractions that let you get away from the screen for a while, or do they feel more like chores?
Fuel efficiency in cars has come a long way. It's cool to be able to plan a trip and realize you don't need to refuel along the way. So why isn't it as impressive in society when we can accomplish a lot with just a little RAM? Have you got any examples of RAM-light programs you use? Take a moment to humble brag here.
Sharing in case it's useful to anyone here. Admin Magazine put together a collection of articles on practical sysadmin tools, free to download until the end of this month: https://mailchi.mp/admin-magazine.com/sysadmin-day-2026
Do you feel that quiet sense of satisfaction when you see this consistency in a cold aisle full of racks, servers, and cables that nobody else would even notice if we didn't share it?

Most of our products are unmanaged, like our dedicated servers and cloud servers. A lot of you were already sysadmins or were otherwise tech-savvy long before you got here, but we also hear from people who picked us specifically because they wanted to learn. How much sysadmin have you taught to yourself as a Hetzner customer? And did you find that journey fulfilling or more annoying, and why?
That's all you get today. Can you guess who visited us?
