lifeeth_on Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade

I am glad I am not the only one. I run have been running arch on a "experiment" VPS for ~11 years now. Been `pacman -Syu` ing every month :)

lifeeth_on Show HN: Gitkube – Deploy to Kubernetes Using Git Push

I was thinking of hasura.io while reading the page only to find this is a hasura project - Keep up the great work

lifeeth_on IO domain DNS failure

.sh and .ac are also run by the same folks - looks like there are issues with those tlds as well.

lifeeth_on ResinOS, run Docker containers on embedded devices

For a long time, I struggled with a similar view. The lines for this are blurring very fast though. Example - Amazon's kindle is more or less a single purpose system - but runs linux, lasts for days on battery, has good RAM and a relatively powerful processor.

lifeeth_on India Opens 15M Bank Accounts in Modi’s Inclusion Drive

FWIW - India has one of the best money transfer infrastructures [IMPS/NEFT/RTGS]. IMPS is my favourite - it taps into the ATM machine backbone and enables 24x7 instant payments at almost zero cost [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_Payment_Service ]. The problem is more than the lack of infrastructure - Most folks are a bit apprehensive about using Cards or Online banking capabilities for fear of theft.

lifeeth_on Stellar

This just reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala and nothing else.

lifeeth_on Show HN: A simple IP address API

Paid plan for API access I guess - hoping one wont use the same environment for both. I meant this for the stripe frame which kicks in, cant really trust an https frame that has a start from http.
