I’m using a 4.83€/month (incl. VAT) VM from OVH to host 5 very low traffic websites in a Debian VM. No problem so far. But I’ve used the tutorials from Digital Ocean to learn how to configure and secure it. They are very clear and well

I still do not completely understand what SAP HANA really is: - an in-memory database technology? - the name for SAP’s cloud platform? - an on-premise DB to run SAP ERP (to replace Oracle)? - a full-stack proprietary web development platfor

I convinced our IT department to add QGIS in the company’s Software center. Now everyone can install it without admin rights. It’s the best way to replace expensive proprietary software with great FOSS software. QGIS is a really really good

Like Autodesk, Matlab, etc., Esri has a very clever marketing and gives away ArcGIS for free for students. I followed university courses in geomatics and ArcGIS was the de facto tool for assignments. We all got a free 1 year license. But I
