reph2097··on Ask HN: Why can't I host my own email?
It's doable, and it's quite easy
reph2097··on Ask HN: Why is there no Linux distro that “just works” like macOS?
MacOS doesn't "just work" if you install it on non-Apple hardware. Most of the time it won't even boot. Nuff said.
reph2097··on Rolling Rhino Remix
I've been running Ubuntu devel for 2 years. This is no different. Please stop reposting trivial non-news.
reph2097··on Rolling Rhino Remix
No. It's using devel, plus a script that turns off the warnings apt produces because of the symlink devel in reality is on the mirrors.
reph2097··on Ask HN: What does 12:00 AM mean?
Das ^^
reph2097··on Web3 doesn’t care about privacy
Web3 is a scam. Go away.
reph2097··on Spam blacklisting is out of control
People on HN seem to be unable to run mail servers. It's not that hard.
reph2097··on Spam blacklisting is out of control
Uceprotect is a scam. Ignore it. Using it for inbound email is a misconfiguration.
reph2097··on Ask HN: Should I give my employer all my medical records?
No.
reph2097··on Tell HN: Quickbooks has sat on my money for weeks, disabled my paid account
No, because it's quite possible the "customer" is part of the "fraudulent action".
reph2097··on Please make a dumb car
Dacia
reph2097··on How Slow Is Select *?
In my experience (long years as consultant/admin in the MSP business), it's always the database server or the network that is too slow, and it's never the SQL query or missing indexes. Cough magento cough </s>
reph2097··on Reclaiming the lost art of Linux server administration
According to popular HN opinion, nobody runs servers anymore. Hipster coders leveraging AWS techno BS are never going to realize they are absolutely clueless and burning money by the ton. Same as in the gaming industry. Why bother starting from scratch. We want MVP right NOW, so just slap a bunch of random libraries together. People are going to buy faster GPUs anyway, right, and we'll fix issues later.
reph2097··on In praise of the European drying rack (2017)
Yeah. Moldy apartments and kids starving because they're trapped in folded drying racks are a thing in the EU. No, really.
reph2097··on Ask HN: How often do you make a fresh OS install?
My Ubuntu has been installed on 10.x, currently it's on 22.04. It has seen 4 or 5 machines.
reph2097··on We handle 80TB and 5M page views a month for under $400
Your blog won't load after waiting for like 10 seconds. Funny.
reph2097··on Running your own email is increasingly an artisanal choice, not a practical one
Author is unable to run decent email service that scales, and somehow thinks nobody is. Okay.
reph2097··on Monitoring the vintage server room (and reverse-engineering USB sensors)
Portable air conditioners don't work.
reph2097··on Cloud infrastructure should be immutable
You can't find a fix if you "just redeploy".

To find a root cause, I need to look at the broken thing. If you hit restart, the only thing I can guarantee is that the fault will occur again.

This is newbie hipster webdeveloper BS.

reph2097··on [dead]
Don't use third party chargers on A1706 or A1708 MacBook Pros. Doing so will kill a charge IC. It's well documented and I fix one or two of these logic board faults every month.
reph2097··on [dead]
Charging from the wrong side will also fry a charge IC. That's what partially pays my bills, my business offers MacBook board repair.
reph2097··on No More Medium – Build Your Own Site (2019)
This, plus I downvote on Reddit and tell Google News to show me less medium.
reph2097··on I Have Decided to Stop Supporting My Family's Non-Linux Devices
OP is absolutely right. Mac users, go call your genius bar. Windows users, go away.
reph2097··on My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs
I repair thede devices for a living. They all have the same funny issues. But fanboys gonna fanboy. Won't complain, more work for me.
reph2097··on Ask HN: You have one shot to redesign the Internet – what do you change?
Use IPv6 from the beginning and banish NAT.
reph2097··on The Awful German Language (1880)
That's exactly what a German speaker would do.
reph2097··on AirPods Max and AirPods Pro Don't Support Apple Music Lossless, Apple Confirms
LOL, when will people finally stop buying this stuff...
reph2097··on AMD server CPUs capture highest market share gains from Intel in 15 years
What makes you think so?
reph2097··on My MacBook Air M1 is dead
That money will buy you two Zenbooks, both of which are faster and easier to repair. Just saying.
reph2097··on How to send $ETH in 19 lines of Python
Yeah, right. Sending my private key straight to $thirdparty.
