   Awesome! I wish I had the opportunity to work with a large scale docker/coreos deployment like this. I really perked up when you started talking about PXE booting, I wanted to see what you guys were doing to manage updates. I'm tr

   I don't think you understood my comment. SMS is not something "you have". You have your phone, the SMS is sent (presumably from namecheap, or from a third party service) through the network and arrives at your phone. This mea

   two factor authentication via SMS is the biggest waste of time. It's not true two factor authentication as you need to depend on the network and protocol between namecheap and my phone. Not to mention the code is probably not originati

   (with "you" being the author or anyone): Would you be able to explain why you iterate over the range of providers instead of iterating over the channel in your concurrency example?

   One thing I would like to see out of this project is a better version control system for prose. Git is great for code, but it's not at all any good for editing text.

   MariaDB is more or less a drop-in replacement for MySQL. One reason (while being related to the potentially closed-source leanings of MySQL) is that you don't want to one day suddenly be cut off from performance and security updates be

    I think that would be an interesting problem itself. Does PE export its problems & solutions in some kind of easily consumable way?

    downtime is an issue no matter how much you pay your infrastructure provider. You should account for downtime in your application and your infra by taking advantage of low-hanging high availability fruit. Things like saltstack (saltstack.or

    rolling your CDN on VPS instances isn't exactly cost-effective, and is probably more of an exercise for fun than anything else. Unless you need features out of your CDN that you can't get from existing CDN providers, I don't

    Having worked with datacenter technicians, I can confirm that providing step-by-step handholding instructions such as these is way more effective than telling the tech to "look for the server with the sticker that says unicorns.thenext

    why do you have to buy their notebook to get it scanned in? I feel like since the differentiator is the ability to get things digitized, why not just sell the scanning service instead of having to deal with inventory?

    Not sure your comment is intended on proving a con of naming servers as random strings, but honestly I would consider that a positive. If hostnames are actual words, then people are able (and sometimes incentivized) to transmit them verball
