hbeaveron StrongPity: Advanced Persistent Threat

Personally the only site I'll trust downloads of Truecrypt is GRC (Gibson Research Corporation) in US: https://www.grc.com/misc/truecrypt/truecrypt.htm

hbeaveron Ask HN: What ever happened with the TrueCrypt shutdown?

I would encourage you to listen to Steve Gibson's Security Now podcast on Twit. But the gist is TrueCrypt has not been hacked. Take a listen to the "TrueCrypt WTF?" episode.

hbeaveron Amon.cx: New Server monitoring beta to compare with New Relic

+1. I've used Cloudkick (before Rackspace), Copperegg (not too bad either) and New Relic. Server Density is VERY reasonably priced, simple and gets the job of server monitoring done. The custom metrics are key. New Relic for example doesn't support custom metrics. A custom metric example: my Sidekiq queue sizes. When Sidekiq first came out, there was no way to alert/monitor this. It only took a few hours of Python.

hbeaveron We still need to raise $1,599 this month. In less than 24 hours

I didn't realize they were that short, so I donated, again. As a listener (as I type this), I appreciate the post.

hbeaveron The Tao of Programming

I found this book in bargain bin years ago. I guess it must merit reading.

hbeaveron _why is no more

I am very,very sad. He is one of the primary reasons I'm a ruby programmer too.

hbeaveron Rate my startup: PagerDuty.com

This looks very useful in keeping your monitored issues from getting dropped/missed b/c someone forgot to change the oncall phone number for that week,etc.
