zuckereion Ask HN: Broke, no money for rent or food? What should I do?

I find the shortness of this message a bit strange.

How did you make a living so far? What was your plan and why did it go wrong?

What are your plans now?

What is your skillset?

zuckereion Show HN: An interactive comparison of 170 popular digital cameras

Televisions might be a good addition. I might be biased, because I am in the market for a new TV. But It also fits into your concept of tech gadgets. And would be sortable nicely by screen size and price.

Not sure what to think about the Kim Dotcom projects. They all seem to be short lived. What about that mega.co.nz thing he launched lately? I read that he sold it and distanced himself from the new owner already.

zuckereion Ask HN: Which email-me-when-my-site-is-down service do you use?

Recently my Debian 8 server started "being down" from time to time. It does not respond to http,ping and ssh. Nothing is in the logs. Just like the power has been turned off. Only when I reboot it, it comes back.

It's a dedicated server rented from 1and1.

While I try to find the problem or a new provider, I would like to get notified when it is down.

There must be an endless number of free services for this. Can my fellow startup buddies from HN recommend one?
