The Bible. Mark is the shortest gospel so a good place to start. I can't think of any documentaries but I usually enjoy this podcast, https://thisculturalmoment.com/ .

I have been running an HP dc7800 sff, core2duo, as my home server for a number of years now. I run lxc containers for Gitlab, Nextcloud, several test environments and Plex. Highest power usage is about 60w, usually just on boot. It has an s

People getting fat may have been a problem too :-) I was disappointed not to be allowed to segway at a holiday resort ad I was too heavy.

Reversing your question, I remember someone showing me Google Search at an Open University Summer School around 2000. I thought it looked crap and Yahoo would reign. Ho hum.

I wonder how you feel about taxi firms who focus on female drivers or construction firms with female only employees? Would you also see this as sexist?

There’s many successful entrepreneurs with families and those without. I think you are confusing two separate issues i.e. your family and your unhappiness with your work. Family, in whatever shape it takes, always trumps work in my book. I

I work in IT and many of the responses I am reading here sound idealistic. I am aware of weak, good and exceptional programmers who all get paid at the end of the month. Have a go and see what happens.

I wouldn’t be bold enough to call myself a programmer but I have created a few websites and apps which I could have bought a house from the proceeds. I’m not boasting, just trying to give a sense of scale. In the past Some programmers have

You could be a business waiting to happen. I can imagine with your experience you could identify problems in the field of dentistry which need solving. Why not consider partnering with a developer and come up with a solution? There’s nothin

The main pain points I think are stopping/managing your own mailserver being abused or blacklisted. I have experienced both.

I have setup numerous web/mail servers. Save yourself some grief and route your mail through the likes of sendgrid if you expect high volumes or Gmail for low volume. Postfix is my goto mail server.

As a christian I follow the teachings of Jesus and believe this life is just the beginning. This doesn’t mean I walk around in a state of bliss. I often think on the meaning of my work in IT. At nearly 50 I am beginning to realise daily lif

You seem quite articulate. Have you thought of blogging or writing? There may be other avenues for your creativity other than coding. I have been a sysadmin for 20 years and imagine I will be for another 20.

I have never personally observed anyone build a business in 7 months and I’m nearly 50. I think your best bet is to get freelance dev work or a part time job to subsidise your income. I have a part time job and saas sideline which pays a 1&

Thanks. I wondered about kubernetes but thought it may be overkill for my situation. I will have a look.

Each container needs managed i.e. packages updated and secured, just like the host. I was wondering if this could be reduced.

I’m nearly 50 and imagine there are many HNers who may be surprised that when they ‘arrive’ they will feel as you do. I do not make the money you make but I have much more money than I need. My family and my church committments shape what I

I’d take him outside and give him a stick to play with instead :-) That used to bring a smile to my 2yr old’s face who is now 22 and finishing a computing degree. It’s a special time when the kids are that age. I remember when my son was li

I think we need to plough our own field and not be too concerned with other people’s fields...especially in an age when all the best fields are on display.

I read through the bible every year and each time it shapes my thinking. For example, I was reading Exodus this morning about how we should care for the foreigner. I imagine several thousand years ago this was pretty radical. It also seems

Maybe you aren’t cut out for it as you say? I have a sideline I would have liked to have been a business but it remains a sideline and I’m ok with that. Sometimes we believe we can achieve anything we want. This is compounded by reading and
