I use the Wenger Carbon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001LA57ZQ It's not the cheapest one but certainly not luxury. Has a nice padded slot for a laptop (I use a 15 inch laptop) an…

It is quite nice. Not the best country but can't complain :) The internet services are not so great, compared to mainland EU. Mostly because it's an island, I guess. I pay ~30 euro…

Personally, Malta is a great country but the political part is complicated and makes it hard to expect good but controversial change, ex: attempts to lower the number of cars on th…

.. fun? Hehe.

I use it daily, both at work and home. I would consider it the best tool for PHP development - powerful IDE, extendable with a plethora of plugins (composer, gulp, npm things; lara…

For my projects I almost always use NewRelic (free works fine, unless something gets really wrong and more info is needed). Additionally, I use my own open-source application and w…

I applied to Moonlight but never heard anything back, sadly (except for marketing emails). I suppose that either they have much more developers than contractors, they only work wit…

I made https://sysplatter.com . I don't know how much other people's use cases it accomplishes but for me, I like a lot of customization of my statistics so it helps with my other …

Oddly, just yesterday I published an article about multicore CPU performance of some providers (including DigitalOcean) and they now have made my tests almost obsolete. Luckily, my…

Does not seem so (checked with a new droplet), which makes sense. The high CPU droplets have only 20GB of storage which would make any standard droplet, except the $5, inconvenient…

As far as I remembered, this started when EU started forcing companies to pay VAT taxes depending on the customer's country. Maybe it was not worth the hassle? This seems to persis…

Comparing, in Lithuania, nothing much has changed in regards to local prices but for EU, they actually still provide separate additional packages. The best one for internet seems t…

If it included info on what to do with the WEAK ones, it would be much better. Sort of like the Google Pagespeed style.

I am a developer, currently (for more than half a year) improving on the sysadmin side. If you would like someone who's not necessarily as experienced; I am sure I could help you. …

Hey, hackernews! I've build sysplatter to accomodate my open source Golang tool server-seer ( https://github.com/andriussev/server-seer ), which basically runs any defined commands…

While I do have an account on most of the social media portals - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit - I am mostly a lurker and a very rare contributor (Instagram is a s…

Is there a reason why you would not virtualize (use ESXi/Proxmox, etc) the server?

Currently improving my postcard sending service - https://postbirdy.com . Which is not really something special, just a fairly basic, yet functional service with my attempt to try …

Off and on for a few months. Nothing too extensive. The support seemed to be okay too, on the basic account (apparently, you can pay a monthly fee to have better support). Though, …

Not as far as I used them. They don't support Paypal though, so you will need to add a credit card.

They offer Atom processors (at least on the 2.99/mo VPS): link to tests: http://pastebin.com/raw/kfaF7Nas Pretty bad results compared to the resources offered. I'll just stop now :…

I have been holding on to http://ampoll.com for a while. Technologically, it's there despite a couple of bugs but I've not touched it for over a year now and will probably scrap it…

I do use an extension for Firefox (though, it's a WebExtension that I've built myself. I have not yet announced it anywhere (first time here!) because I'm still occasionally workin…
