Mave83··on Ask HN: Why don't companies want to employ people on 4 day per week contracts?
We at croit.io do let the employee decide how much time a day, week, and on what days of the week he will work. Of course the employee can change the decision when ever it pleases.

Never had an issue, got lots of positiv Feedback and will continue to do so.

Mave83··on Buy on Google is now open and commission-free
Not going to happen. The company with one of the worst customer support vs the most customer centric. Maybe some dont care, but I know a lot that prefer Amazon over any other Shop because of the service.
Mave83··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
If you found with 1€, the moment you place the signature your company is insolvent as it can't pay the resulting invoice. Even if you found with 1k it is often quite near to overwelm the newly created company.

Beside that, UG has very bad reputation and if you need something your company rating will lead to problems like prepayment when ordering goods. New GmbH is not the best either but increased quite fast.

In addition, transition from UG to GmbH is a bit of a pain, as you need a let your books be checked (costly) or by just paying the amount to reach the GmbH money.

Mave83··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
"You'll spend more time writing emails than writing code. You end up bogged down in organizational issues, not dreaming up cool new features. Rather than having one boss, you now have dozens... investors, customers, employees, etc."

why not hire a COO that takes care of it? Don't do jobs that you are not happy with for long. For some short time that is acceptable, but not for long.

I don't count my customers as by bosses. And as long as you don't give yourself the trouble, they are not your bosses. However it is important to focus on them, try to think about them and know what they need before they even know it.

Mave83··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
Yes it's all Germany based. Don't go the UG way, just found a GmbH.

Please note it is possible to found it with 12500€ and have to provide the other half of the 25k€ later.

My first company was without the GmbH protection and benefits. It was ok but I would not do or suggest it to anyone. Hell of a pain to migrate to a GmbH later.

Mave83··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
I successful founded startups since 20 years, starting in the age of 16. In none of them, I founded together with partners that I realy trusted like I trust my wife. However we worked together on a professional level and figured it out everytime.

Why could we do that? because in the end it is a work for roughly 5y and if you stop even thinking about working 24x7x365 you have enough free time for recreational activities. I'm on vacation around 6 times a year, but available to the company on critical stuff.

Yes sometimes it's hard, sometimes you have so much work that even 24 hours a day wont be enough, but then again you need to focus on the important work and think about yourself.

Btw I only did the bootstrap way with every company founded on 25k€ and no VC/Angle/Bank/External money and very low income in the first years (I hire people ASAP). As of today, in average over the last 20y this gave me more then 500k€ yearly salary with the exit money. Not bad and definitive much better than I would have had in in any Employment.

For me it is absolutely no choice to be employed or working in larger companies. I want my own freedom :)

Mave83··on Ask HN: How and when did you decide and start your startup?
As a 18 years old with fresh finished mechanical apprenticeship. I started a online gaming, irc bouncer, radio streaming company with my first salary.

Why? because I found no good gameserver to play on it at this time and bought myself a physical Server to fix that.

6 months later I quit my full time job and pumped up my business. Best decision ever! I never thought about my personal income. At that time I was still living at my Patents.

As of today, I founded multiple companies and sold them successful in the 8 digits euros.

Just do it, find something you like, focus on it and believe in your self.

Mave83··on Why we won’t be supporting Sign in with Apple
Why not just bind the sso Mail to an local Account, then it doesn't matter what identity Provider gets used by the customer. In addition, add a check that prevents Account creation of ...@privacyrelay...if you have a problem with it or nag the user to provide a real mail for this account if you detect this type of mail. This way you would have a user friendly implementation without giving up on sso.
Mave83··on Ask HN: What would you do with unmetered 10gig?
Maybe Cloud and heat, use servers as your central house heating system instead of oil, gas,...

croit.io | Ceph Storage Engineer's / Administrators / CEPH consultants / Developers | REMOTE | Part time, Full time, Self employed, whatever :)

We from croit help anyone to get access to modern storage technology. For that reason we developed a solution that helps maintaining the beast. To further tame our open source technology Ceph core, we are looking for excellent Linux system administrators, Ceph Storage Engineers, Consultants and Kotlin or C++ Software developers.

Mave83··on Debian 10.4
debian is awesome.
Mave83··on Ask HN: Is your company sticking to on-premise servers? Why?
Cloud is only good if you don't care about costs and plan to scale without looking back.

For example, building a Ceph based Software Defined Storage with croit.io for S3 comes for 1/10 to 1/5 of the AWS price in TCO. Same goes for any other product in the cloud.

If you only need it a short time up to 6 months, go to the cloud. If you plan to have the resources longer than 6 months go to Colocation.

Mave83··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (May 2020)

Mave83··on Tauthon: Fork of Python 2.7 with new syntax, builtins, libraries from Python 3
please get rid of the old python...
Mave83··on Zoom Endpoint-Security Considerations
quite unfortunate that there is no alternative with the same great user experience like zoom.

Linux, Windows, Mac, every device all just working without a problem. Delay free screen sharing (Not like MS Teams/webex), even remote support is possible.

Fantastic product from a user perspective. I hope they will fix the issues or some other currently crappy solution will take over the user experience centric thinking.

Mave83··on Ask HN: Looking to setup my own email server – should I do it or not bother?
Do it, if you setup it correctly all mails will be delivered, security will be increased.

It is not hard to setup and maintain it correctly if you have some understanding or enough time. Unfortunately most likely the mailservices will save some money or time.

Mave83··on Zoom’s Use of Facebook’s SDK in iOS Client
Thank you zoom.us for the best tool available right now with a fair and acceptable price model. A special thank you also for the great Linux support, that is absolutely unmatched from all other "solutions".

I am very sorry that so many bad publicity happens right now, but as far I know even bad publicity is good in the end.

Mave83··on NASA to launch 247 petabytes of data into AWS, but forgot about egress costs
just build your own storage and save an incredible amount.

It's hard you might think, but it's not. croit.io provides all you need to deploy a scalable cluster even on multiple geographic regions.

Price for 1 PB sized cluster including everything from rack to hardware to license to labor for below 3€/TB/Month or at the Amazon Glacier price tag but with the S3-IA access.

Mave83··on A Study of SSD Reliability in Large Scale Enterprise Storage Deployments
we from croit.io use and suggest SSDs on a daily basis in our Ceph based Software Defined Storage clusters. So far, SSD is much better than HDD due to good indicators like wear level. Even if a drive fails, any enterprise class storage should be able to heal itself.

I personally don't know a person that would go back to HDD after having SSD in operation. Far superior, much more productivity,..

Mave83··on Lesspass – open-source stateless password manager
I don't know, but syncing was never a problem for by tools. Use bitwarden, lastpass or some other available, good working tools and don't waste your time like that
