MrCheese··on Hetzner Cloud Review
That's interesting about the cloud division hours. I've only ever had to deal with Hetzner support for dedicated servers. I should add that to the article.

You're right about the referral link. I've removed it.

Update: I've added your information to the article. Thanks!

MrCheese··on CapRover: Build your own PaaS
How does the deployment process differ from CapRover/Dokku?

Deploying a simple app with a database with Dokku is something like: 1. Run command to create a database of your choice(Postgres, MySQL, Redis etc) 2. Run command to create application 3. Run command to link the database to the application 4. Push to the Dokku repo to deploy the application.

CapRover has support for multi-server deployments using Docker Swarm. It also has a nice dashboard with built-in monitoring and such. There is a marketplace of sorts with single-click deployment for certain applications.

Dokku on the other hand has support for buildpack deployment as well as Procfile support for running multiple processes.

I prefer Dokku. The main reason is that I only need a single server for my apps and running Docker Swarm adds complexity.

I wrote about some other differences in my blog: https://www.mskog.com/posts/heroku-vs-self-hosted-paas/

MrCheese··on An alternative to using Google Analytics on your website
Is that Tailwind UI that you're using? First time I've seen that in the wild in that case!
MrCheese··on Show HN: Postmake – A directory of tools and resources for your projects
Fantastic! Well done!
MrCheese··on Ask HN: Which Wiki or internal documentation tools do you use?
I noticed here that noone seems to have mentioned using a static site generator for this.

We are currently evaluating tools for this with much of the same requirements.

My current idea for this is to use Hugo with https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-theme-learn/ as the theme. It has search, code snippets and such. Does anyone have experience with doing it this way?

MrCheese··on Codeship launches freemium model to push its Continuous Integration Service
I'm sort of stuck on their old "Medium" plan with 300 builds/month with no project restrictions for $25. If I downgrade to the free plan then I'll have to push less commits, which kind of ruins the point of CI for me. If I need more the Circle CI $19 plan looks mighty tempting.

It's too bad, because I do love Codeship.

MrCheese··on Hetzner Servers Compromised
To be fair, Hetzner has very "google translaty" English support for simple matters, so it is not impossible that they simply didn't understand the question
MrCheese··on Sweden To Charge TV Tax For Anyone With A Computer or Tablet
The offering is a different perspective.

Exactly! A varied collection of premium content from various sources will together form a much broader and more accurate picture than trusting "independent" media with your life.

In theory yes. What you get in reality is a left-wing group of journalists concentrated in a very small well-off area in Stockholm that does not in any way represent the population at large. Keep in mind that the employees of SVT are even more leftist than the average journalist. Which is fine, as long as I don't have to pay for it.

This means that I can't trust SVT to deliver "independent" news more than I can trust any other media source in the country. It does not matter at all to me that they are financed by force instead of ads.

Unless you have no interest in watching the programs. Then it's horribly expensive
