I feel bad for Linode. They've always been a good host (I use Linode, as well as Digital Ocean and others), so I would hate to have to switch away.

Same. I've found their service to be great and even today they went out of their way to be especially helpful to me with a support query. Can only imagine how much money and time is spent covering for malicious acts like this, malware, viruses, etc.

  On topic: I feel bad for Linode too. Even though I am not currently using their service, I have used it in the past and I found their tools to be very straightforward and easy to work with. Off topic: > Same. Exactly the same or mostly the same? I am not sure what you mean by that single word sentence. Do you feel the same about Linode? ("bad") Do you use Linode as well as Digital Ocean and others? Would you hate to switch? Or all three...exactly the same? "This." in a response is much maligned around here. I would think the same goes for "Same.". Sorry for getting completely off-topic, but I don't understand why millennials (or other people) are regressing away from fully understandable sentences towards single syllable grunts and crude hieroglyphs. Maybe I'm wrong and you're not a young person - but I assume this is a younger person's habit. Maybe it's not a bad thing and we're all going to evolve psychic powers so that we just know what the other person meant when a single word is spoken. That would be pretty cool.

    This type of discourse should take place elsewhere.

      I don't think so. Thanks for your input though!

    Unnecessary comment. This might be a better question / discussion for Reddit. My two cents - it's akin to using "Agreed." True, that can be vague at times, but this is no reason to be passive-aggressive against what you perceive as "young people".

      amen
      - WayneBro 10y ago
        That's 2 syllables, but just as thoroughly nonsensical of a response. Most young people seem to hate religion though, so saying amen to them would most likely get you tagged as a fanatic or just someone to be avoided.

    Haven't people said "ditto" or "agreed" or "hear, hear" or some such other phrase for the entirety of human speech?! Hardly new to millennials.

      Not to mention "+1" in recent times. For the record, I'm nearing 40. I'm busy, so my "same" (like an upvote) covers a post in general and any discrepancies (in this case, I've never used DO) aren't of much consequence to the discussion.

    Stop using stupid terms like "millennials." What happens to all the non-turn-of-the-century generations, then? Do they all just get called "nothing-in-particulars?"

They have been a good host as long as you're not overly concerned with security (and more importantly, transparency in responses to security incidents).
