It looks like you both agree, they said you should not work at an early stage startup.

The places I've seen this at were either agencies (so short/medium term projects) or startups where employees churn so much that a year later almost everyone is new again. Like I said, might not be representative but has been my o

I don't know how representative it is as a whole, but my experience (working for various companies of 15-200 employees) has been that there are two classes of engineers: - Those that have been there for years (3/5/since the b

Not very, some things I run on small 5 or 10$ digitalocean droplets, other things on my home "server' which is an i5 4th gen with 8gb ram. The borg server is rsync.net

You said the manufacturer was in SZ (so I assumed it means Shenzhen). The book is about international companies contracting with Chinese manufacturers, and talks about manufacturing in China. The resulting products are not sold in China but

The approach in taking to self hosted services is that if it's down for an hour or even a couple of days it's fine since I'm the main user. For disaster recovery, I put everything in ansible playbooks and roles. The role also

Have you tried mailcow? I find it strikes a pretty good balance between running your own mailserver while not getting overwhelmed with details. It runs in containers and provides a webserver, webmail, caldav, spam filter, updater... I have

My isp got the brilliant idea of rolling their own YouTube cache servers. It's great in theory but in or active they're under powered and so at peak hours I can't even stream 240p on my 500mbits connection. I've had to b

One of the many reason that I love my 2013 ThinkPad. The service manual is freely available, every single part is serviceable with a bit of know-how, and second hand spare parts are plentiful. It's also built like a tank and hard to br

ctrl-o doesn't seem to do anything for me. ctrl-r, find a command, press ctrl-o -> inserts ^o in the command and exits of ctrl-r. Running bash 4.4.12(1) on Linux.

I wrote a collection of bash scripts for that. https://github.com/coaxial/insaned-config It was initially to use with insaned, but I later came up with a script to tie it all together (scan.sh) because it's faster

What paywall are you talking about? Unless I'm missing something, every course I did on Coursera had the option of buying a certificate. But if I didn't want to pay, I could follow and complete the course all the same; I just didn
