I'm from Poland, my father told me that everyone here was excited as well and that this topic dominated conversations for weeks here.
SpaceInvader··on It's Never Too Late to Be Successful and Happy
Aside of success != happiness - I really do NOT know what I'm supposed to do. I'm in corporate world since 2005, I'm doing OK, but not great and I'm dreaming of success, which to me means:

1. work for myself, not for any company - that's hard to start because of mortgage and kids which are taking 90% of my free time

2. Earn around the same money I have now

3. Have something that can grow, doesn't have to be fast growing, just a bit quicker than inflation.

Huh, I'm glad I don't watch tv at all. Such a waste of time and brainwash too.

SpaceInvader··on Matrix.org hacked
that is correct, but this case is obviously different :-)
SpaceInvader··on Japanese study uncovers protein that keeps skin youthful
Sounds like an multi billion dollar business. That will increase the gap between wealthy and poor even more. But well, that's the world we live in.

I just hate such links which I could not read without logging in into nytimes :(
SpaceInvader··on Ask HN: Sysadmins – what’s your side project?
Naah, I'm actually getting enough sleep lately. My new job is much more relaxed and I do not work hectic hours. I still have some time to spare and I'd like to get some money out of it therefore I'm looking for ideas :)
SpaceInvader··on Redis Turns 10 – How it started with a single post on Hacker News
That dancing guy is rad tho :)
SpaceInvader··on The Psychological Trap of Freelancing
I'm on salary, but I do feel similar pressure as well. Even though I'm being paid more than decently I'm still looking for additional gigs, but what is hardest on me is the feeling that I'm loosing time and a lot of money if I do not manage my side projects everyday and I do not grow constantly even though my main side thing is not designed to bring me any money I feel really bad when I'm slacking.

I've been using SSH tunnels for years, this keeps me safe and sane. Also at work where my employer closed almost everything. Including well known web pages with info useful for my work...
SpaceInvader··on BSDs or Illumos may be good alternatives to Linux (2017)
I've started with 5.1 therefore I can't relate to that.
SpaceInvader··on BSDs or Illumos may be good alternatives to Linux (2017)
Are you sure about the security thing? Less critical bugs? Do you have any data to back that up?
SpaceInvader··on BSDs or Illumos may be good alternatives to Linux (2017)
What you mean by that? I stay away from Windows ;-)
SpaceInvader··on BSDs or Illumos may be good alternatives to Linux (2017)
I have the longest beard (not yet white) in my company (1000+ plus employess), I am primarily the AIX guy (800+ virtual machines) and I do use FreeBSD since 2002 iirc. I also do plenty Linux but AIX and FreeBSD, despite being totally different, seems to be the rock solid option. Given AIX runs only on freakishly expensive power platform FreeBSD can be a good alternative. ZFS is great too.
SpaceInvader··on IBM acquires Red Hat
I am currently working for IBM and I'm tied. I had to supress my commercial project once I joined big blue. What I have in contract is - if you want to open a company, you need IBM's permission first.

And it's just frustrating as they try to block it for as long as possibe even if you're not doing IT in your private little business.

SpaceInvader··on Ask HN: How do you force yourself in doing something you don't like?
I'm trying to do similar thing - but I rather group boring stuff and do it in between, but that doesn't seem to be working very well for me. Maybe I should do it in similar fashion to what you do, will check that :D

SpaceInvader··on The One-Name Email, a Silicon Valley Status Symbol, Is Wreaking Havoc
I guess you could just "reset password".
SpaceInvader··on Ask HN: Has anyone switched from being a night owl to being a morning person?
+1 to that. I'm an night owl myself, and I was REALLY surprised what happend when I had power outage while living in Czech Republic. I spent evening with candle lights and went to sleep earlier than usual, next day I woke up before my alarm rang and I was rested much more than usual.
