HN is degrading quickly thanks to comments like this. I've used vim for a long time, have worked in high-level engineering positions (lead, principal, similar roles) for decades wi…

https://www.gammarf.io is (was?) a ground based version of this for local areas. Bought out by https://www.sensorscape.io but afaik nothing has been done with it

It doesn't quite work like that.

Excellent analogy, thanks.

If you think the CIA is one of the most evil and dangerous organizations on earth, you probably haven't had a lot of exposure to organizations around the world. I'm not saying thei…

I agree. I think my point is not that we should invade for humanitarian reasons, but that I don't feel too bad about the Iraq invasion, given what I've seen.

There are truths on both sides of the argument IMO. It's not black and white. But it's hard to seriously consider the opinions of those who haven't participated in it in any way (g…

I'd like to post my perception since I was a 90s hacker. Inclusivity is arbitrary here - no one in the scenes that I was familiar with were excluded because of race or sex - it's j…

Beware of Vultr. The product works fine but the customer service is horrible. I had three days of downtime and they got sick of me asking for updates, ignored me, and didn't tell m…

I ended up going back to Digital Ocean and using a custom FreeBSD cloud image I installed cloud-init on. My experience at vultr was that bad, and DO has always been good to me

It's been so long I forgot. Formed by former LoD from what I remember.

I just had a huge bad experience at vultr with 3 days of downtime and poor customer service. I tried to elevate it to the CTO but he ignored me.

As I said above I had a bad customer service experience with them. I've used a lot of hosting providers and Vultr was the most ghetto-feeling by far. Back to Digital Ocean for me, …

I used Johnscompanies, Linode, DigitalOcean, then Vultr. Vultr shocked me by how poor their customer service was, after 3 days of downtime, multiple claims of fixing the issue soon…

I am using a Turkish company now and the quality is very poor. Is there a reputable company with a DC in Turkey that exists? I am happy with Vultr for Europe and the US, and Digita…

They took away FreeBSD VPSs so I left. I'm happy at Vultr now.

I just switched away from Digital Ocean after years of using them. Simply because they stopped providing a FreeBSD image. I now use Vultr and they're fine, except that I have to so…

Do you believe that the views you perceive as ignorant and contradictory, are objectively ignorant and contradictory? Could there be any bias in your perception?

So they disagreed with your world view?

Some reactionary, short-sighted, and young / inexperienced people, yes. One shouldn't be punished simply for being the resident of a certain country.

Godaddy has a very poor reputation and has a history of scummy practices. Namecheap never gives me any problems. But beware, they've recently allowed politics to surpass customer s…
