I empathize with this so hard. I have an early first-initial-last-name Gmail account as well. It's both very generic in the United States, and when combined, a common first name in Brazil. It's nearly unusable at this point, but I've had it since 2004 and it'd be very difficult to migrate away from it. I have a filter to delete any email from a .br domain, but just the amount of Brazilian spam that makes it through is torrential.


How about the GitHub Student Developer Pack? https://education.github.com/pack

You get $100 in DigitalOcean credits. That's 20 months of hosting a VPS; plenty of time to figure out how to come up with $5 per month thereafter.


I'm glad other people are having luck with this, but I just couldn't get it to work with my setup. I'm wondering if it's because of the weird MTU and CGNAT on the connections I'd like to bond (300Mbps up and down municipal-ish WiFi).

I was able to get two OpenMPTCProuter installations talking to each other, but downstream traffic wouldn't balance across interfaces, and upstream was limited to 0.25-0.5Mbps (not a typo, and the links on their own have >300Mbps capability). I'll maybe try it again, but for now I have to add this to the pile of solutions that haven't worked for me (including VyOS WAN aggregation, ZeroTier multipathing, and Wireguard and ECMP).


How loud is that little Supermicro, though?


Yeah definitely noisier. https://tinkertry.com/supermicro-superserver-sys-e200-8d-and... shows about 60db(!) with fans at full blast during spinup but 42db or so when dialled down. So not too bad.

The difference with IPMI tho is you can safely put them in the attic or wherever.


> schedulers like Kubernetes can also use your CPU and RAM limits to schedule containers. As far as I know, there's no equivalent tooling for doing this with fat binaries.

I much prefer the Docker and Kubernetes world, but you could actually do this (scheduling and bin-packing fat binaries) with Nomad's exec driver:

You can use the WiFi on these things from a surprising distance (hundreds of feet) with a proper antenna. Even with an IPSEC tunnel in place, one can achieve a connection with over 100Mbps upload and download with 5ms latency. That's much better than what most ISPs in NYC provide. And it's free. So, there's that.


CSS Modules have been revolutionary for us. I agree, it's a great compromise. I don't really see any reason to go to CSS-in-JS from here. It's scaled very well with our team and applications.


Sad that this isn't available as an on-premises solution out of the gate. We're stuck using internally-hosted HipChat for compliance reasons and it is absolutely awful. The desktop and web clients have only gotten worse over time. This confirms my worst fears that HipChat is basically abandonware.


If it wasn't so new I would say look at matrix. You can host that yourself and chats are encrypted.


It did get an update sometime last week!! Signed, Another sad on-premise user


> I'm adding to each node host a systemd service to create dm-crypt+LVM devices atop of each NVMe drive

That sounds cool; can you describe how you're using systemd for this in a bit more detail? I do this with an Ansible playbook when the machines are provisioned.


What are you talking about? No it didn't. It came with an adapter that has a female 3.5mm headphone jack on one and and a male Lightning adapter on the other end to allow you to connect headphones with a 3.5mm connector to your Lightning-only iPhone 7. To connect to a 2016 MBP, you would need the opposite—a cable which does not currently exist.
