   Yep, same here. I mean maybe you don't do it again, but doing it once has a lot of benefits beyond money.

   Okay, that explains it completely. I haven't have an audience when I started.

   Thanks for sharing. It's great that you are still able to sell after such a long time.

   Thanks a lot for supporting my work. I am happy you like it. Would you consider making a testimonial? In a way what you just wrote here, reads like one. Send me an email or Twitter DM at @strzibnyj with a name and personal/company link

   I agree. It just feels different to $job money, doesn't it?

    That's true. I am also exhausted :D

    Thanks a lot! Hope you like it, and if anything, I am just an email away (and on Twitter as @strzibnyj too).

    Thank you! And yes, I tried to be a bit unique to differentiate.

    The net profit is dependent on me paying taxes, social security, and insurance. Since I also program it's hard to say exactly how much net it is. Gumroad fees are explained on their site[0]. There were no ad costs. If I should pay my t

    That's crazy good! But would be better if you also submit a story how you came to create and market it.

    https://strzibny.name I hope to redesign it soon together with the blog. I mostly blog about things Ruby, Elixir, Linux.

    It seems there are new apps for GNOME once in a while and it makes me super happy. I am thinking myself of writing one. They look gorgeous with the latest GTK.

    I think SQLite can be a good idea, actually. When I host small side-projects, I have PostgreSQL instance running on the same server and using the ident auth strategy so I avoid managing and keeping passwords and access the DB via SSH. If yo

    Great to see more Bash here. I think for me it comes down to size. If I just need to spin up one server, it's surprisingly easy (as I show in Deployment from Scratch), but of course if I have to do something more complex, I would prefe

    No, I think this is about mental exercise. Do I have to go shopping with a calculator to know how much I am spending? To me personally it's weird. I come to shop with $5 but I don't know what I can actually buy...

    I think the best is to transition from current role to contracting role or by going for a long-term contract, often presented as salaried position. One way to do it is to offer the current company a contract with less hours. If you were an

    The translation is not idiot, but misfortune, damage or pity (Schade for German friends). Funny name for sure.

    I agree with the post. If you want to gently start with reclaiming Linux admin skills and move towards self hosting, you might be interested in my book https://deploymentfromscratch.com/ . I focus on long-lasting skills rath

    Before I would say so-so. I got useful links and discussion, but I also felt like spending a lot of time here. Even for my few articles making it to the front-page I would say that the traffic was a bit of vanity -- surely nice for ego, but

    I wrote an ebook on web application deployment. It does over $1000/month, but obviously it's not recurring revenue. https://deploymentfromscratch.com/ I did a SHOW HN awhile ago which sold 100+ copies in a single

    You need to secure the system as a whole (SSH, sudo, logs, firewalls, SELinux) and then each individual component (db access). For example, here's my thread on basic firewalld configuration[0] (yes I know firewalld is not Ubuntu's
