paimpozhil··on Evolutionary history and why physical activity is important for brain health
Badminton is a great sport that requires lot of thinking and very fast movements and physical strength . I wish more people start playing that
paimpozhil··on Show HN: WalletBook: A simple anonymous crypto portfolio dashboard.No user info
We will take a look, thanks for trying it :)
paimpozhil··on WhatsApp told to stop sharing user data with Facebook by French authorities
Telegram is even better, has a nice desktop client which doesn't really depend on the mobile .

Whatsapp's web client is just an UI to the mobile app meaning you also need to have phone connected to internet always for it to work.

Telegram is much more responsive compared to the Whatsapp.

paimpozhil··on Why Kubernetes is winning the container war
I wish kubernetes has more examples for example their vsphere volume driver has almost 0 documentation/tutorials on how to set that up.

http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/volumes/#vsphere-vmdk-e...

I believe is inadequate

paimpozhil··on Ask HN: Kubernates on Vsphere
I did indeed give it a trail run on all its modes Rancher/Kubernates/Docker swarm however I didnt feel like its production ready yet but it is certainly interesting.
paimpozhil··on Ask HN: Kubernates on Vsphere
Hey thanks for the response, will look into it.
paimpozhil··on Ask HN: Kubernates on Vsphere
Do you know if this situation of figuring out the LB ourselves is going to change anytime soon? We are happy to wait if you know there is something on the works.

I believe it is possible to wire up service discovery system to add the ips of the backend webservers to the haproxy/nginx but it requires knowing the kubernates internals/api a lot more than now.

However I was looking for a lazy/ just works kind of solution - haha may have to wait or get hands dirty.

paimpozhil··on Ask HN: Do you use Docker v.1.12 swarm mode successfully in production?
Docker V.1.12 was released very recently and I'm 100% there is no apps in production with swarm mode.

We are evaluating different clustering/orchestration frameworks, Kubernates seems to be the most appropriate but its learning curve and initial setup is a huge pain especially when you are not in GCE or AWS .

paimpozhil··on Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage
You are ignoring the Electricity/BW costs spent by your friend which would raise your costs

I use backuplizard for personal data/photos which works out more like cost of a one 2 TB disk per year to me and to me Its easy to pay it instead of owning disks and worry about them breaking,etc

paimpozhil··on I am shutting down my bookstore in New Delhi
This needs a large initial investment that small bookshops can only dream.
paimpozhil··on Slack was hacked
If someone was able to get access to the user table I would believe it is trivial for them to download the chatlogs/ mine other information from database.

May be slack wants us to believe only a small part of the data is hacked , I dont know .

We have been using Slack for many projects over last year and it helps improve productivity

paimpozhil··on Show HN: A Dockerized proxy to watch Netflix outside the US
http://greenycloud.com/easy-vpn-with-digitalocean-and-docker... here is another method to run openVPN on docker.

Netflix,etc works however will be slow as every data has to be routed through the proxy.

paimpozhil··on Atlantic.net launches $0.99 SSD-based VPS servers
Yeah that is much more suited.. all the tiny php can be hosted on this without any SHELL/super user restrictions
