We've been using Element/Matrix for quite some time now and are fairly happy with it for the most part. The only major hiccup was hosting providers, not the software itself, per se. We originally signed up with element.io back whe

About half-way through I had to resist the urge to skip to the end to see if he did that. An opportunity lost. I'll admit, of the few books of his I've read, I always felt like they ended a couple of chapters too soon or a couple

Purely as an aside, I had the pleasure of visiting Iceland in August and it was great. Truly beautiful, rugged land. Another way they've utilised geothermal energy is with large, sophisticated greenhouses which allow growing of many pr

Hmmm, I think you have to figure out how to do your database backups anyway as trying to get a restorable backup out of RDS to use on another provider seems to be a difficult task. Backups that are stored with the same provider are good,
