I'm looking into them, thanks!

Even with the price increase, DO looks like it would be 2x Linode's cost for what I require.

I can't seem to find if this will affect me...I currently pay $600 per-month for $480 shared instance w/$120 backups.

Looks like this is going to cost me an additional $1440/year for... nothing. Anyone have a recommended alternative to Linope?

I think that is far too common.

I had a coworker that was a paranoid schizophrenic and he stopped taking his medication. We all knew he was "off" and we kind of dealt with it. I had complained a number of times to our founder and his advice was to "take him out to dinner and smooth things over". Crappy advice.

It was a weird and rocky ~6 months until the coworker threatened to kill our founder's cat one day.

Did any of your family/friends/coworkers bring it to your attention as well? Or did it kind of fly under the radar with them?

He seemed to be going down a nasty rabbit hole of paranoia. He believed Velocity internet was racketeering and working with gang members to cut off his internet and mess with him.

He recorded phone calls with their support: https://josephcantrell.org/res/audio/

He also catalog a bunch of random stuff here: https://josephcantrell.org/res/reports/

I wonder how on earth Microsoft didn't pick up on this behavior earlier? There's no way he was completely normal at work.

Anyone that decodes functions.js (https://josephcantrell.org/functions.js) can find the hidden message he talks about:

May be suffering from schizophrenia or some related issue.

Basically it creates an animation where trippy1 is rained down the page infinitely.

I cut roughly 70% of the cloud spend in my company, but we remained in the cloud. We simply moved from Rails to Go :)

"If a candidate says they had family related work gaps for four years then that will place them poorly compared to candidates that don’t."

Same applies to telling them you had health issues?

You are right, not lying is going to place you at a disadvantage. Especially when your competition is lying, padding their resumes and leveraging their networks as well.

Obviously the hacking is illegal but data collection and disinformation campaigns seem perfectly legal?

I also find it hard to believe 40k sock puppets swayed the election...

Honestly-- lie. It's none of their business. If they comment on the work hiatus and choppy history simply tell them it was family related. You had to take time off to take care of your family.

Had some Terry Davis vibes.
