Tilaa looks excellent! Thanks for the pointer. Can you please describe your experience with them in some detail?

Where are good, popular and cheap options to run FreeBSD in a VPS? (From the three should I pick any two?)

Agreed wholeheartedly. As for Microsoft Word, I've always wanted a better interface to add and apply styles. It made so much sense, yet almost nobody I know used it to style their thesis. Oh the pain...

You're getting a little emotional, I guess. > If you're having 3 different codes reading the same DB you're doing something wrong Consider your average web app where the database is manipulated by a public-facing app, an API and a bac

It might be interesting to state in which zone you and GP host those files. My buckets are in Ireland and I haven't seen 5xx problems. I'm not a heavy user, though.

I made a few vague observations based on comments scattered around the web and this rant just made me want to write them down. * GNU leadership seemed very stubborn from the beginning. * GNU software is really great. * Gnome is the new GNU.

Calling out parent's incompetency is fair I guess, although we still don't know why it was necessary to engineer a cable so much only to find out it has basic flaws, hence the assumption it is over-engineered in certain aspects and under-

I have no experience with Salt in a multi-server environment, but it feels speedy and is easy to customize. Lots of batteries are also included, which is why I picked it over Ansible. The best thing about it for me was the simplicity of sto

I prefer Arch Linux, it's closest to FreeBSD in spirit but still running on Linux kernel for compatibility reasons.

After you shed some different light on my original comment, I have to admit it is phrased weirdly. Apologies for the confusion. It wasn't meant to express the social or any other sort of pressure on Colin's responsibilities as to put the mo

Well, consider GP's assessment as envy of those who use Gmail and therefore can benefit from this nice piece of software.

Yes, I think you grasped his post. Software you use in a relative isolation (yourself only or with a well-defined group) could be installed and maintained on your server. He claims he'd look into web startup offers more if they provided thi

I'd be really disappointed if Tarsnap wouldn't do that. ;) However I've just looked up the donors page on the foundation's website and found your company twice. Have you donated both as a person and a company?

Sounds great for a US citizen. What about a small town in Europe's less advanced country?

Not being sure about the rest of HN, I definitely recommend reading what FreeBSD contributor Poul-Henning Kamp has to say regarding another great project of his, Varnish: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/index.html

$100/month seems a lot when New Relic does the same for $24/server/month or even for free.

From the best comic writer[0] how he found the answer to be a little more than 41: The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representat

It's obvious you're pedantic. How much I wish `inconsistent newlines between functions` would be my first shallow observation when reading through my code.

I somewhat agree with this sentiment, but the `musicians playing for musicians` analogy just does not make sense -- it implies the target audience (the other startups) has the same skillset the new product demonstrates. However, I too feel

I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone. Can you reveal more about the usage rates you've seen?

"Everything is my fault" is entrepreneurs' wishful thinking so that they can believe they can fix whatever situation they're in. However, not everything is under their control, no matter how hard they try to believe. You don't control the w

We need FreeBSD the most because of both license and philosophy points of view, and Linux has still a lot to learn from the BSDs from a technical perspective, too. The only thing that keeps me using Linux is that nowadays a significant port

I'd say using AdBlock and Ghostery greatly increases the chance you're uniquely identifiable, provided there is a client-side (perhaps non-Java) test to list the browser plugins you use. At least that is the worst offender to my identity, r

I'm sure we can still take away the colors and the fonts, and why do we even render the page at all?
