andrewsomething··on Show HN: “Install on DigitalOcean” button for open source apps
Love it! This is the exact type of thing that we hoped would come from providing the MetaData service.

Please submit it to our projects page so we can highlight it:

andrewsomething··on DigitalOcean Partners with CoreOS for Large-Scale Cluster Deployments
The Alpha channel contains some work to interoperate with the DigitalOcean metadata service properly. CoreOS promotes images roughly every two weeks. So in that time, the first Beta will become available on DigitalOcean and about two weeks after that the Stable channel will be available as well.

Droplets running CoreOS will receive automatic updates through the normal CoreOS update service.

andrewsomething··on DigitalOcean now asks for customers to upload photos of their ID via imgur
As others have pointed out, this question is from a year ago. To be clear, DigitalOcean does not ask anyone to upload scans of their IDs to imgur.

We do occasionally ask customers who have set off our abuse filters to verify their accounts by emailing us scans of their ID. We agree that asking anyone for ID isn't an ideal situation, but unfortunately we deal with a large amount of abusive and fraudulent signups.

Tugboat is a great tool!

We're trying to collect clients using APIv2 over on the community site. Barge is already listed:

andrewsomething··on DigitalOcean announces IPv6 Support in Singapore
It really depends on how deep in the stack you're working. Apache and Nginx already have support for IPv6. If you're using something like node.js directly, you'll need to bind to an IPv6 port as well.

For general IPv6 tools, check out:

andrewsomething··on Django Query Inspector
I'm also fan of Django Debug Toolbar, enough so that I adopted the package in Debian. Unfortunately, there isn't an active upstream maintainer right now. As the README file says:

"There's no active maintainer at this time. You're welcome to file issues and pull requests but you may receive no answer until a new maintainer steps up."

andrewsomething··on Git 2.0 is here
As a refugee displaced by the Great VCS Wars, I certainly agree. Bazaar's command line interface was the thing that made me initially lean towards it rather than git.
