Okay, we need to talk about Hetzner banning @solana nodes.
I monitored the infrastructure decentralization of Solana throughout all of August via a tool that I built.
~40% of Solana validators live on hetzner, adding up to ~20% of total network stake.

The highest percentage of validators was concentrated on… you guessed it, Hetzner.HTZ led the charge in validators, with ~40% of validators and 20% of the stake.
Other points of concern in terms of stake were Equinix and AWS.
Together, these 3 had 65% of the stake. pic.twitter.com/5LzR1MnewD
