But yes, if you're working on top secret projects or something that might leak sensitive data it's probably not a good idea to use this or any of these other services.

There are a variety of methods to handle this, but commonly you add a record to your system's host file to resolve these domain names to the ip address 127.0.0.1 (your local computer).

Using site1.til.io and site2.til.io instead eliminates having to manage that host file (which is a minor and repetitive annoyance).

But yes, an obvious disclaimer of "don't trust me by POSTing your bank passwords to any of these subdomains" might be in order.

Also if you notice that your eyes aren't centered vertically in the frames, that can mean the optical center is off which can lead to headaches.

When I did have an issue, the return process was pretty tedious and annoying, so I usually just ended up eating the cost and dropping the glasses in a donation bin.

After a few years, I probably ended up spending roughly the same as if I'd gone to a local shop with the advantage of having spare glasses with the correct prescription for the first time in my life.

Recently tried Warby Parker and although they seem extravagantly priced ($95/$120) compared to the others, the quality of the frames were noticeably better and the customer service in a completely different universe. I had to return my first pair from them since the frames ended up being narrower than I expected/gave me headaches and the exchange process was incredibly quick and painless.

I will say, for anyone thinking about ordering glasses online, try your best to get your pupiary distance measured by a professional. It's not easy to get opticians to do anymore, since they know you are going to buy your glasses online but it's a difficult measurement to get yourself and being off by just a few mm can cause headaches.

This is evidently some of the code that was leaked. It's some pretty ugly PHP.

The pricing structure is disappointing. I would have rather seen per system pricing ($3-5 mo/server is roughly what it would be worth to me). I have 4-5 nodes running. I'll likely never have 10 so $40/mo doesn't seem like a very good value proposition.

I signed up & paid for both pinboard and newsblur within a week of the announcement, and purposely avoided theoldreader and others that didn't have any sort of sustainable business model (although there were/are plenty of other solid projects out there).

Glad I didn't have to learn that lesson twice.

Hopefully they have a staging environment running somewhere internally at least.

It's hard to believe a company would "admit" to running all of these services on a single server. There's no way I would pay for a CRM or Ticketing App (relatively mission critical for many companies) that wasn't highly-available.

It should probably default to being locked...

One of my favorite things about Newsblur is how minutely configurable it is, but I think all of that is probably throwing off new users.

"o" to open the full article in a background tab is pretty useful.

If there was a keyboard shortcut to send to pinboard it would be nearly perfect (for me).

I was initially resistant to paying for something until I realized how much value I get from a hosted RSS reader, $24 a year was a no-brainer.

The connection is to the same TTY when I log in via the web terminal and SSH at the same time, so if you are logged in via LISH anyone with the LISH password has access to the logged in user's console + scrollback.

I wasn't able to send BRK from Putty though.

It doesn't appear that you can reboot or enter single user mode from the LISH console login prompt.

My day job had some Google Apps account compromises last month, and this is making me paranoid that the database that contained hashed/salted passwords for our Intranet hosted on Linode was the culprit. The time frame doesn't seem to line up, but we didn't see any evidence of phishing or compromised desktops being involved.

(Don't want to spread fear - I haven't been able to find any evidence our Linodes were compromised either.)

I'm normally huge a Linode evangelist, but I'm severely disappointed with the lack of transparency on this. I'm debating right now whether to rebuild all our nodes from scratch as I'm not sure they can be trusted.

Obviously my execution is not resonating with people (great signup conversion rates, terrible usage rates), so when I have time I may reboot it as something more like what you're describing.

I still think there is something to the idea of improving the leanback and placeshifting experience for all this great long format web content that's out there (Rev3, This Week In, etc). I'm apparently just not smart enough to figure it out on my own ;p.

The terms of the Youtube API pretty much rule out monetizing the site with advertising, but usage has (sadly?) been low enough that I just eat the cost of the two Linodes it takes to run.

It felt a little risky spending so much money with a smaller company, but so far so good. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when of the $(five-figure) boxes was severely damaged in shipping, but they handled it beautifully and painlessly.
