I think we should consider the inference of side project, the desire to make money. A lot of people spend time working in their garden. We don't call this a side project. My advice is if you or your family need more money then do a sid

"drop out of collage"...that line itself could make money.

ltsp was my first serious learning too after the joy of Windows 3.11, windows for workgroups. I was running a PII in my roofspace and a diskless terminal in my living room using ltsp. I think sometimes you go through a season of fascination

I resonate with what you are saying. One of my biggest motivations at the moment is my family and my wife's support in me leaving a well paid job. Thankfully HN let's me have a little whine about the toughness of a startup which i

Praying to God at a party 30 years ago changed my life. I guess I felt like I was broken on the inside and the idea that some higher power could help led me to pray while sleeping on someone's sofa. I was so into the idea I went on to

When my children were young I went through a short phase of worrying about dying. It seemed like a cloud would come over my brain and I was worried it would come one day and not leave. I have never experienced any type of anxiety like this

What was your motivation? The kudos of having a popular project, making money down the line or filling some space in your life? If it is one of the first two I would say move on. If it's none of the above and you genuinely just want to

I was part time for a few years working on my saas product before I gave in my notice. I hadn't planned to but got a place on an accelerator programme. You should maybe factor this into your thinking. I'm very glad I just didn&#x2

I'm stuck on your opening statement rather than your question. I did the 40hr week and now do what you aspire to do. Your life will be more challenging if you start a SAAS business. It will not be easier. The only people in SAAS I know

gitlab-ce is an apt install/upgrade and works like a charm. I have a dual-core duo box running about 6 containers, including gitlab, and nginx as a reverse proxy. I use letsencrypt for ssl, basic auth and duckdns to point cnames to my

You make a good point. My main challenge at the moment is lead gen. Part of my frustration is spending time on things like marketing that have no quick feeback loop.

Brilliant, thanks. I especially like idea of focussing on projects. Rather than saying I will do X every day or week forever.

The most important things in life have zero to do with wealth, so definitely not a good metric. As a Christian I measure myself against the teachings of Jesus. I think it is important that we measure ourself against something external to ou

I have a dual core box running a web test environment, gitlab-ce and Plex. I schedule a weekly reboot and all is grand. The box does 60w under load to give an idea of max cost to run. I use duckdns to deal with my broadband providers DHCP.

As an outsider to your field your name sounds a little ominous. Like a room full of psychotic people. Explain to some people you don't know in person what you do and then have them tell you back what it is you do. The results are surpr
