Chill. It’s a very common colloquial way to refer to big machinery. “A Tesla almost hit a pedestrian” “I’ll just mill that part on the ol Bridgeport” “For my 18th birthday my dad bought me a Chevy” “Looks like the neighbours bought a brand

I’ve been waiting for a post like this. Thanks for writing it up. Even though the letter is light on details, it’s made up for with the extra context this article provides. Minor spelling mistake: SaskTel, not Sasktell

You misunderstood the vending machine analogy. The author argues that mining hardware is NOT like a vending machine, in terms of depreciation. Mining hardware becomes less productive over its lifespan, whereas a vending machine stays about

Not technical per se, but I'm interested to know how the "unlimited plan for life" experiment worked out. Did many folks take you up on the offer? I didn't, but I strongly considered it (if I'm being honest I just p

That's a poor take. The solution is to do linear interpolation in HSL instead of in RGB. It's a simple and useful insight and the article does a fantastic job explaining and motivating it. And then goes so far as to supply an inte

docker-mailserver is pretty good. It does use postfix and dovecot, but at least the default config is very good and you don’t have to touch it much.

You work at Mega? Nice to meet you! Is there anything I can do to get whitelisted? How can I contact you? Not a huge deal if not, I've implemented the workaround already. But to be whitelisted after a chance meeting on HN would be a ni

I have had very few troubles sending outbound email directly, however there was one email provider that always rejected me because they were blocking all of DigitalOcean's IP space. This provider was quite niche, but it still bothered

I run a production email server on Digital Ocean and have not experienced this issue. An issue I have experienced is that one email provider (who provides a white label service so that small regional ISPs can include a free email account to

So many negative comments, sheesh. Many of us run our own small email servers quite successfully, even in 2021. Every time there's a post about it on HN, all these commenters come forward to say it's a fools errand, that it's

When a name fits a project so well, you have to wonder whether they thought of the name first, and that dictated the project concept. Either way, awesome.

My mail server running on DigitalOcean has been relatively trouble free over the last 9 years. It runs docker-mailserver and is used by me and a dozen employees of my various small businesses. It requires some effort to maintain and underst

I know right? Each time I have to fight to get this working on linux (or pfSense/opnsense) I dream of making a small opensource Unifi controller replacement written in Go. Just something basic to manage my access points (no USG, etc.)

Here's a better link: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac Apple's refurb program is great. I'm glad more people don't know about it though, or it would be harder to find the good deals.

Agreed. I don't understand the outrage. There could be any number of legitimate reasons why their internal process requires a phone call. Sure it would be nice if they would do this over email, but the telephone is still a normal way t

These are known as crowlers (can growlers) and are meant to replace the 1L and 1.89L glass growlers that have gone out of fashion somewhat over the last couple years. Crowlers look like oversized beverage cans, and come with either a pull t

For many kids, this kind of toy has a short window of novelty and then waits in a closet until its time comes to go to the landfill. We should be extra skeptical of consumerism that targets children. I think that’s what GP was getting at.

I have been looking for a good video aggregator website. Something like digg, but for videos. Most of the videos would naturally link to youtube, which is fine, but they could just as easily link to peertube, vimeo, self-hosted, etc. This w

There's a footnote about Saul's interesting name, which leads to: Pawanson is a bit quirky — his unusual last name is the product of a decision he made years ago. "I was born Paul Swanson," he said. "

This is really interesting and I hope it's a success. It seems like it's intended to be 80% useful and 20% tongue-in-cheek joke. I'm skeptical that viewers will prefer this live scheduled format rather than simply posting all
