Yep, agreed! Thanks for sharing that, nice point. Most of the work we do as developers isn't the sort of John Carmack's Magic Numbers sort of wizardry, so looking for more of the s…

The Arrested Development reference in the footer makes me wonder if the name ought to be Annyong instead.

What's the point if the user doesn't control the keys? If the data and the keys are both with Amazon, is this anything other than a ticky box for the marketing dept?

Agreed! I'm recommending it to anyone uncomfortable with the SMS/Hangouts merge.

Seconding this, switched to TextSecure when they combined SMS and Hangouts. It is an excellent SMS app replacement. The crypto doesn't get in your way, even when almost none of you…

I'm finding voip.ms to be pretty good, no major issues in over a year of using them. It's a power user tool, so it's not quite as slick as Voice was. I ported my old Voice number t…

Everyone involved in that needs to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash-only_software and get comfortable with the idea of pulling that plug. It'll help in the long run.

Thanks. Yes, for a demo or contributing doing it locally is a good idea. :) Nice set of instructions, it's a bit of a complex beast to install.

Hetzner is good, the hardware is (mostly) good, the provisioning is fast, the support responses are fast but they follow scripts very closely. The biggest problem is that their net…

Excellent guide. We (at http://www.hostedgraphite.com ) will be pointing new users towards it and I'm sure many will benefit. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! (rescrv and emin_gun_sirer) I could have been more specific, I meant that I hope other projects do build upon your work. :) Pleased to see repeated referenc…

Sounds great, and I'm hoping other databases that use LevelDB can benefit from this work too.

Of course not, but regardless of who in the company said it, the official support response was as quoted. Not exactly encouraging!

Hetzner provide a lot of physical machines too, I believe this is what the other poster was talking about.

Considering https://twitter.com/omgtbh/status/337567604887658496 I can't say I'm surprised... (tweet text reproduced here: "I asked Hetzner if they plan to support 2 factor auth & …

DNS resolution also blocks, and PHP doesn't appear to have a plugin for async DNS resolution.
