Not many comments about giving here bar a nice one about someone giving their grandparents a holiday. Some highlights for me were buying a football kit for a kids soccer team in Cambodia and supporting some water well digging projects in Af

I believe in God. I believe that Jesus will return and take his followers home. If Jesus did not rise from the dead I am to be pitied. If he did rise from the dead, I look forward to meeting him. My beliefs are simple and profound. I am not

I am old sysadmin and understand your motivation. Technical people want to control their environment by having full control of their stack (which the cloud doesn't give you). Those paying the bills see you as the big cost and want to a

As a teacher (former sysadmin) I find that ignorance and aggression often work closely together. I would have seen out the interview and moved on.

For many years I have had a private blog. I like to write but realised 99% of us are not interesting to read. This is a young guy processing his thoughts. Not "teaching" the rest of us as he frames it. This should have stayed in-h

I planned to take a leap 7 years ago and ended up working a 3 day week for the IT firm I worked for and two days on my own tech. 5 years later I left the firm. I didn't plan this approach but it turned out to be a good model. I was ve

It's good to have your own goals. The root of much unhappiness I see on HN is individuals comparing themselves to others. I would just check with yourself that comparison is not at the route of your frustration. Are you beating yoursel

The op is not buying pizza. The cloud model is many, many people paying $30 per month. I think it entirely reasonable to expect some type of support. An email/ticket system at least.

I use a free Gmail account as my mail client and direct all my custom domains from Fastmail to Gmail. Messages are delivered very quickly and I don't have spam issues. Truth is I like Gmail but I think Google have dropped the ball with

Thanks, Joplin may be just what I was looking for. Trying it now. I wanted the speed of local storage with remote sync. Dropbox Paper slow response times suggests to me a lot is going on remotely.

It's touching listening to a parent who wants to have a better discourse with their daughter. Some caveats about HN. The conversation here can be a little too focused on money, success and being an entrepreneur. My daughter is a simila

At 50 I have realised that life is about balance. Read, walk, cook, go out with family/friends, work. I imagine too much reading or working are the biggest crimes from this list.

I was talking to some old shipyard workers last week, welders. When they were skiving off they used to carry a construction plan with them. They did this as their gaffers, their bosses wouldn't challenge them. The gaffers didn't k

I used to pay a company a £100, I think, and they came in a lorry and they ground the disks in a machine. I enjoyed the fact there was a venerable stick to ram into the machine when the mechanism got blocked. From a security point of view y

I think fastmail has a spin off service which does this however I can't remember the product's name.

Pretty sure this is what I did on my second attempt and still had the same issues. Could be wrong though. HP Envy 14-eb0 laptop.

I am a 20yr linux user. I got a new HP laptop recently and decided to try Debian. To my surprise Debian didn't recognise my network adapter and would not let me continue the installation. I wrongly assumed the installer would install,

HN is well moderated however I am getting bored with questions such as "Why am I not more successful?" "How do I make money fast?" "Tell me your ideas?" (so I can be successful and make money fast)

I have also adopted keeping the phone out of the bedroom. I'm not much of a social media person but I have removed all my banking apps from my mobile's homescreen. I'm surprised how much of an impact this has made to how ofte

Interesting perspective. The personification of tech. I went to a Show HN, someone's new website, and a third of the screen was ads. I left. At the same time I watched imdbtv last night with ads i e. this content is free with ads. I ca

I was thinking more about examples of how people have changed their tech life. I appreciate your comment as I realised when thinking about the question I realised you can not separate tech and the internet in this modern world. So I get whe

Same here. I was at a party 35 years ago in my late teens. One of my friends, a little drunk, told us all at the party he had become a Christian. Not exactly the state a Christian should find himself in but my friend was just learning. None

I came to church later, was not indoctrinated as you say. I respect your supporting your family. When you are older, and have possibly had a successful career, the question still comes up. What is life all about? So it's good to have a

The creators of twitter, facebook were children who created a Frankenstein. They had no understanding of human nature. They have amplified good and more so evil. The mistake that people make is thinking that human nature is good by default
