I've done system administration for many years, as a remote-worker. Trying to sell expertise in this field is hard, even when you have a lot of knowledge and contacts. The biggest issue is that …

If you want to include comments on your static site you might enjoy this project: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ …

I was planning a new view, which is just the user-submitted text, and that will be live within the day. (Similar to how on imgur.com you can link to the image directly, or the image with adverts.) Bu…

Biggest thing for me is that it is self-hosted..

I suspect this would need to be city-wide, or otherwise regional to make sense from a logistical point of view. But the most likely criticism is the lack of variety. You send somebody food they don&#…

I wrote something to bundle "alerts". It was a node application which would receive updates via HTTP-posts. From there they would be injected into a redis queue, and fanned out to email (da…

Nursing homes have to deal with blood and other bodily outputs - which means even if germ-free the sheets need to be changed because they're "not white". (Source: My wife is a Doctor.)…

What format is the project-description in? Is it a paragraph, or more, of random HTML? If so you might enjoy the blogspam API: http://blogspam.net/ It is used to blog forum/blo…

Dammit - The perfect time for me to pimp http://markdownshare.com/ ;)

Build and manage large sets of apartments, flats, or condos (depending on location) for students. Rented very cheaply, but available only to people who didn't drop out, or fail their courses. St…

Personally I wouldn't use them, and wouldn't recommend them. But I'm not here to argue about it. I took the time to search for five seconds because you wanted references, but were some…

It keeps getting brought up due to their repeated issues and lack of transparency. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5541915 …

First you need to think about your requirements, for example what do you want to happen if you're dead? Send an email? Post a message to facebook? etc. Then you need to decide what mechanism y…

One obvious one that many people fail at initially is sanitizing any HTML-formatted mail. You don't want viewing the mail to result in an XSS attack against the mail-viewing application, stealing…

Mine was on the 48k Spectrum, a lovely machine, even though the BASIC was a little non-standard, and I had to work out how to change listings in magazines to work on it! My progression went: Spectrum …

Emails and forums are definitely not the same thing; some people prefer one over the other, and are very vocal about it. I know that solutions such as discourse are trying to make forums sexy again, b…

Systemd is an implementation of an init system, with some extras too. Init systems are traditionally the first thing that is executed when the kernel boots and passes control to userspace. They'…

And what proof do you have that you have a virus now? (Sorry but suggesting that having unread mail accessed via gmail has infected your computer seems pretty extraordinary, and does require a fair bi…

I've got a few different approaches for deployments. For static sites, which are built from templates, or by hand, I just deploy via rsync. This is nice and efficient, and is carried out over SS…

cron.management, transient.email, proxied.io, and finally spare.io.

With their traffic I'm sure they haggled a better deal than the default AWS prices..

I've never timed it, but I do try to do realtime-spam detection on blog/forum comments: http://blogspam.net/ Although it operates at a much smaller scale than most of the th…

While the main post was interesting enough, and has already garnered responses, I'm genuinely amazed that people pay for that level of "cron monitoring". Looking around I see at least t…

Emacs has `M-x ispell-comments-and-strings`, via ispell, which is all I've used in the past.
