"dropbox is just rsync"

It feels a bit like hard work to use. They seem to have support for Dropbox but just as an afterthought and not the main thing. The main thing means running your own server, but it…

I think we can ethically sell things that don't exist to "sophisticated" investors - which is hard to define but probably based on net worth. Maybe limit the $ amount you can inves…

Free snacks & beer are an anti-perk if you want to maintain a healthy BMI, and a healthy body. Alcohol is a drug with side effects (even if you don't have a hangover), but most peo…

Hi there. I am looking for a tool that will convert dates/times from logs on other servers to other time zones (predominantly UTC) so I can marry up log entries etc. The major site…

My hands got a bit bloody trying to catch this falling knife
