So I asked, “Would it be cheaper to rent a camera and plane or helicopter, and fly over the farmers field, hand process the data and see if that’s the information farmers would pay for?" After the 2nd paragraph, I assumed a question li

In addition to this, consider if your rasberry pi breaks, or you decide to add a second one, rather than have to set it up from scratch again, you just apply a manifest/cookbook/etc. I guess that falls into the repeatable part of

It may be too big of a transition, but I really like crunchbang. I would just spin up a VM for each ubuntu, mint, crunchbang, and centos, and see what floats your boat.

1. There are a ton of monitoring solutions out there, we need to know more about your stack first. This is easy enough nowadays to be a requirement imo, even for an MVP that actually has a semi-functioning app 2. Gross. Get all that stuff

How would someone wanting to open up a devops-on-retainer consultancy reach you guys?

I have an aria, not a fitbit, and it's pretty cool. I really really really want integration with mint.com though, then you'd be able to track the fitness goals vs money spent, and come up with an optimized plan for everything.

I for one, donate to the EFF; I'm honestly not sure if it is the best place to put the money, but every time I read an article that pisses me off like this, they seem to be the ones defending the right side.

I am working on http://makerops.com , part time with the hope of it replacing my 9-5 income (along with consulting); the 9-5 has slowed progress though, which entails writing a ton or ruby (puppet), and managing critical infrast

The job of the US' domestic police force is to serve and protect; the job of the military is to defend the nation against foreign enemies. When police forces become militaristic, the citizens become the foreign enemy.

You need to qualify what the idiotic/stupid moves a company would make are. A startup cutting corners with their database backup procedures, is way different than a large corp polluting water, which is way different than leaking NSA se

I don't even know if you have to highlight a market right off the bat? Automate Your Text Conversations, appeals to a ton of niches (including people with significant others who text them every night at the same time, asking the same

"Texting for education, health, advertising, and much more. Start the conversation." My mind kind of checked out after reading that; I assumed I would not find this interesting, but I scrolled down a bit, and saw the demo, which w

I just want to throw in there, that I just recently found patio11's newsletter, site, etc. And it is awesome. I emailed him last week, and he replied that day, with some great suggestions that I am implementing for makerops.com.

Did you have the self-awareness at the time to realize that what you were building is something DHH would be proud of, or was that only in retrospect? I'm asking these questions, because I struggle with listening to outside advice vs

I am curious, as to why you didn't listen to your gut, and how old you are?

I have not been through what you have irt depression, but one constant in my life, which has taken MANY crazy turns, at least over the last 15 years (I'm 30), has been programming, linux and hacking. No matter how I am feeling, I can

Kind of, but not really. In a representative democracy, you are voting a professional politician into office, who's sole existence is to stay in office. They are beholden to money, and outside interests. With a liquid democracy, i

I think one of the ways this bullshit is solved is liquid democracy. Allow people to transfer votes to people they feel are experts via a bitcoin like system. 90% of people have only an interest in a very small subset of topics that the

If it were me, I'd try to compartmentalize the factory/day to day IT stuff, and the dev + colo systems. Having a basic IT shop to handle printers, workstations etc, and a specialist or freelancer to handle the dev + colo work, wo

What is the differentiation between the colo servers, and the in-house? I am imagining that everything on site, ran the day to day "office" stuff (email, active directory etc); and the colo was something else?

Hey, What was the response time of the old firm? What are the stacks of the servers vs workstations? How many hours per week did 4k/mo get you?
