Sanity is a great headless CMS with a generous free tier package https://www.sanity.io/pricing

Paired with caching/static frontend, it's more than enough to power small to medium traffic sites.

Freelance means more control over when you work and what you work on, but it also means more effort to find work, keep your finances in order, and ensure that you are meeting the demands of your clients (who maybe sympathetic to your situation to start with, but that might change if you fail to meet deadlines).

Existing in a team environment, with hopefully support and compassion, may be better for you while your recover, and you'll gain professional insights you don't get when working by yourself.

That's an entirely fair point, but frustrating that the connection limits are not clearer in the docs.

I'm _really_ disappointed with the managed DB service. The "75 simultaneous connections per gigabyte of usable memory" limitation means cost wise it's cheaper just to spin up a 'real' database droplet.

Info and back story http://www.trunkrecords.com/turntable/mech_keyboards.shtml

We (a small 5-7 person digital agency juggling multiple active projects) have been using Clubhouse for the last couple of years after outgrowing Trello and finding Jira too complex.

It's flexible, fast, good app integration and has a responsive support team. We recommend it.

Future wish list would be: - Per Project User access, so we could invite clients into just their project. - Harvest (or similar) time tracking integration, so we can see how long we spent on "stories"

That list is very out of date. One of my clients appears on there and when we took over in 2012 we encrypted all their user credentials.

It's Geekbench 4

I'm based in London, so dropped it off with https://www.ismash.com/ in St Pancras. Was done in half an hour and cost £40. Can't vouch for the quality of the battery yet, but they are a pretty big chain now so I'm assuming it won't be awful.

However I've had batteries replaced (different phones) at the Apple Store before and it took about an hour.

Had the battery in my iPhone SE replaced about an hour ago to test this out

Oh and while it is in the docs, the sendfile/virtualbox gotcha has been the cause of many hours of anger

There's between two and five of us, and we use the puphpet/ubuntu1604-x64 box.

Also here's a template for an initial LEMP WP setup

- Vagrant Triggers plugin is super useful https://github.com/emyl/vagrant-triggers

- I've found VMware Fusion as a provider worth the extra cost/disk space

I use DO for several one or two box production sites (LEMP and RoR stacks), and have minimal complaints. I'm a big fan of scaling up the CPU without having to also increase HD size (which is a Linode requirement).

The biggest issue we've faced was their use of Google DNS. A couple of months back, Google DNS had an outage, and all our calls to external services semi-silently failed. Because this wasn't technically a DO service outage, it wasn't reported by them, and because we didn't know they used Google DNS we didn't trace the issue to the outage. We could have done more, but they could have also been more transparent.

Overall, we are starting to move more projects to DO from Linode, because I feel Linode's previously excellent support has slipped dramatically (customer for at least eight years). We also leverage a lot of AWS services (particularly S3 and SES).

Excellent fun, but when playing with the keyboard, only one of simultaneous keystrokes is recorded.

Fourth time this week?

I use both (Linode for five years, big sites, 100m+ pageviews), DO one year (smaller and personal sites).

Both have been great, but Linode's support and response time to issues has always been excellent.

I agree that 'brain dumping' is incredibly useful for soothing a racing mind, but I would also say that caffeine doesn't help.

Laptop speakers: Nope. High Quality Headphones: Maybe. Loud sound system in a crowded club: Definitely.

Also just because one track sounds acceptable at 192, doesn't mean another will. The only way to make sure tracks have the same 'opportunity' to sound good is to throw away less information.
