evandena··on Show HN: Snitch.io – SSL auditing and alerting
$10 a month for one certificate seems kind of expensive, considering a script with openssl can do the same thing for free.

And only 25 for enterprise? Our midsize business is currently using 416 certs.

evandena··on My $300 Home Cloud Server
ECC is nice, especially coupled with ZFS.
evandena··on “Giganews is an FBI Operation”
Still works pretty well for me
evandena··on Linux Performance
How's KVM on FreeBSD these days?
evandena··on Ask HN: What's the best technical eBook you have read?
Absolute FreeBSD. Found it hilarious https://www.michaelwlucas.com/nonfiction/absolute-freebsd
evandena··on Supreme court: Aereo is violating copyright law [pdf]
Thanks

So how does this ruling not affect the cloud storage providers?
evandena··on Moto 360
It looks simulated to me.
evandena··on Lenovo to buy Google's Motorola handset division
As noted a half dozen times throughout the comments, they didn't lose 9.5 billion, it's looking more like possibly 2 billion. But they also had a strong bargaining chip vs Samsung, and will likely reap benefits far exceeding their Moto stake.
evandena··on Drilling surprise opens door to volcano-powered electricity
Yes, good point, thanks.
evandena··on Drilling surprise opens door to volcano-powered electricity
Most of Iceland's power comes from hydro, not geothermal.
evandena··on The New Hotel Key: Your Smartphone
This seems like a solution looking for a problem. Lost your key? Go to the front desk. Not that big of a deal.
evandena··on Where Football Players Call Home
You just have to cross your eyes and look for color swaths, not individual red counties.

When that's done, you can see that the South is the clear leader.

evandena··on Tell HN: How we bootstrapped to the #1 rated mattress on Amazon.com
So what do you recommend people do who would like to return it?
evandena··on Google’s $179 Moto G puts every single cheap Android phone to shame
I think the target demographic isn't a heavy media consumer, so going with lower storage keeps the price down. Also, cloud.
evandena··on Show HN: People Food - $7 Office Lunches for Hungry Startups
8 new Outlook windows on the other monitor later, I realize it's a mailto link. And show me some pictures of the food!
evandena··on That's a fun trick Google
Just a hunch, but maybe you had the cell selected and tried to copy that, instead of selecting the text within the cell?
evandena··on NFL, MLB Warn That Aereo Could Trigger End of Free TV Game Broadcasts
Call me obtuse, but I still don't get it. Specifically, how is it any different than me using my own antenna? Does it just boil down to an OTA vs Cable war, and the networks/NFL/etc would rather everyone pay for cable instead of installing their own antenna?
evandena··on Two million Raspberry Pi sold
I use mine for a fermentation temperature monitor/grapher, and another for a squeezebox client.
evandena··on Vi Hart: cramming G+ into YouTube has made comments even worse, I'm leaving
To those 10 viewers, yes.

The other day I watched a infrequently viewed video on how to install carpet on stairs, uploaded by a professional carpet installer (and not some profit generating wikihow crap). I consider this one of YouTube's most powerful features... it's a trove of self help videos for almost everything.

evandena··on Nexus 5
You might be able to trade your Verizon account for one. I think I might look into doing it.
evandena··on Nexus 5
Any idea about US Cellular?
evandena··on Nexus 5
Aio looks pretty good. I'm not sure how long they'll last, given that ATT is trying to merge them with Cricket, if their buyout goes through.
evandena··on Amazon's minimum order size for free shipping is now $35
I agree, and there needs to be a mechanism to automatically save and ship add-on items when the conditions are met for free shipping.

And to your point about attaching them to a prime order, I would have to imagine Amazon is aware of this limitation and I wouldn't be surprised if they add this feature soon.

evandena··on Amazon's minimum order size for free shipping is now $35
They pay taxes where they're required to. In 1992, the Supreme Court ruled in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota that states cannot compel out-of-state retailers to collect taxes without the company having a physical presence in the state.

We all know it's up to the consumer to pay the sales tax on their tax filings.

evandena··on HP Chromebook 11
I have zero problems remotely coding. Nothing beats a good Vim environment.
evandena··on Health Insurance Exchanges are now Online (Affordable Care Act)
I feel they should have made it more clear that no plans will take effect until Jan 1st, so there is no need to rush to sign up.
evandena··on Stop using Digital Ocean Now For the greater good
I guess I'm a spambot. I have no twitter handle, no personal blog, my company website is a large corporate site with no mention of me, and my facebook profile is completely barren.
evandena··on How to Make Perfect Coffee
I split a $300 Behmor purchase with my friend. My $150 contribution will pay for itself in 4 months. Green coffee beans are significantly cheaper.
evandena··on How to Make Perfect Coffee
I'm in a similar boat. Any minute I spend preparing coffee is a wasted minute I could have been sleeping. It's hard to motivate myself out of bed in the morning, so a fast coffee prep is paramount.

I've tried plenty of methods, and for me, the easiest way of making 20 ounces is a Yama stove top vacuum pot. Look it up, it takes mere minutes to produce quality coffee.
