Thanks, just trying to save the world. I made theboycottapp during the SOPA/PIPA resistance. I ran out of steam and was bummed out that the UPC scanner wouldn't work on the iPod touch that I bought to test the app out on - not a good enough

Oh, your app can save the world; it just depends on the app. I was trying to save the world with my pet-project http://theboycottapp.com/ but the execution has been poor.

It's a good idea. I'd say there are a number of options; at the very least a mirroring setup would be sufficient - I'm certain that there are people that are able to do this quite easily with wget. Even I have servers that I'd be willing to

I like it. Cool idea and looks like a good execution. Search would be nice, along with SSL.

Ask HN: I want to see my browser activity visually. Is there an app for that?

I was just checking out the realtime traffic to my sites, it was significant for a bit, then it dropped off and the OP's post dropped from the front page.

Judging from web traffic, it looks like this post got flagged by HN mods.

The paywall for source is a good idea for technical blogs, I could definitely see something like that working. We just integrated with Stripe at drop.mx to offer business accounts and it was a pleasure to work with. Stripe has the same feat

$0.07 / GB was calculated from costs and covers all expenses for an offsite backup service like this. I'm an open book and the project is open-source, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

by nanch 14y ago
Uh oh, if you think it's "too good to be true" the price is probably too low! We'll see; if people don't sign up at $0.07, I guess I'll just raise the price :P (marketing is funny). I've been having a blast making the service and seeing peo

Great question. It's "free forever if you sign up now" This project started out as fun, but after some feedback that "backup can't be free", I've planned out pricing to sustain the service long-term. If you sign up before the switch, the se

It's "one file" in the sense that you're backing up all your important stuff with one file upload. You can backup as many files as you'd like, but if you name them the same thing on upload, they will rewrite each other. I like to name my ba

If you sign up now, it's free forever for as much as much storage as you want to use! It's definitely worth it to me just to have people using it. :)

changes since my first post are: - pricing for long-term sustainability - curl backup/restore - web backup/restore - support for key-based sftp authentication

great point! I'll fix this; probably by adding some file-based locking for simplicity's sake.

Great feedback, I'll change the "how to" ASAP after some reading on the subject. Is there a secure command option that I can use with openssl instead of -aes-256-cbc? I originally tried to provide an example for openssl and gpg, but the gpg

The salt gets stored with the password hash in 'userstocreate.txt' so a line in userstocreate.txt looks something like: username:$6$salt$passwordhash$:email Then the password is sent to the /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow) file by /usr/sbin/userad
