Snowden attempted to expose an incredibly corrupt and unconstitutional surveillance apparatus by working within the system but was ultimately ignored.

This security apparatus undermines the very fabric of law and government that you speak so highly of.

In case you've forgotten the 4th Amendment.

>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things

So what's your suggestion?

Silently put your head down and continue to breach the Constitutional rights of the American public?

Maybe you'd have kept fighting the man from within a system that clearly ignores one of the most fundamental pieces of our democracy, our Bill of Rights?

Sure, peoples rights are being trampled on but at least the youth wouldn't get any funny ideas.

Snowden gave up more for the USA than you, me, and many people on HN likely ever will by exposing an unconstitutional surveillance system so vast it'd give the Stasi a wet dream.

Edward Snowden is a patriot and I say that without reservation.

It would seem prudent for this kitty to consider changing it's name to help alleviate confusion.

If you are sharing credentials though, the article might be useful read for you.

I also mention a great tool by the guys over at Widdix for utilizing IAM CodeCommit Public Keys for EC2 server access.

It's hacky but it's clever and works pretty well.

A. I game. Lots of stuff supported on Linux now but not some of my most often played games.

B. I use Traktor for DJing and produce with Ableton. Low latency audio is not a good fit for virtualization or emulation.

Regardless, This is a huge step forward for me running Linux more than I already do and perhaps relegating Windows entirely to a VM (if I do even that)

If this continues to improve I can see Linux based gaming devices (and pc gaming in general) starting to take off and cut into console sales.

To my understanding Fish shell doesn’t have complete BASH compatibility and it breaks many scripts.

It also doesn’t seem to have nearly as wide of an adoption as ZSH so less overall community support in genera.

Sure you can just specify the interpreter with hash bang but it’s something worth noting before considering a switch.

As other commenters have mentioned, perhaps not outright, your comment carries a great deal of racist undertones.

I've travelled a bit through Europe and have travelled through Mexico for around 1.5 years.

I love Mexico, it's culture, and its people. Like all people, they largely wish to have a happy life.

With that said, each individual should be judged off their personal merit.

In many ways I feel there is a great deal of similarities between Mexican and American culture, in particular (and perhaps ironically) when comparing Mexico to the American South.

To counter your point, I've seen just as much racism and classism among Mexicans/Latin people as I have Americans (many Mexicans are quick to point out that they are also "American". This is technically correct)

Personal anecdote: I was sitting at a house party with some friends for Mexico's Independence Day.

I met someone new, we exchanged pleasantries, and the next words out of his mouth were "I don't really like your people" after he found I was American.

This conversation ended amicably after I asked him how he would view me if I'd say the same thing about Mexicans. He reconsidered his point.

Anyhoo, judge people off their individual behavior, not based on the color of their skin.

Happy to hear any feedback or war stories from people dealing with Wordpress on AWS :D.

I wrote this article after spending a lot of time trying to figure out how I should charge for my services as a freelancer and was unable to find anything else that fit my needs.

I recently made some corrections to my math thanks to a suggestion from a Hackaday user (It's a good thing I'm not a freelance mathematician :P).

If you see any other issues, don't hesitate to let me know :).

Side note: On the off chance you have an IPv6 only address with no IPv4 gateway, my website is not currently IPv6 compatible (Thanks to Hackernews reader Raul for reporting this).

I've raised a request with my host and this will hopefully be fixed by the end of the year.

Vultr and Digital Ocean are incredibly competitive from a performance per dollar perspective, while still offering a high level of flexibility.

With that said, AWS does offer some features that don't have any equivalent open source solutions (at least that I'm aware of).

The most apparent example of this that is commonly used are Autoscaling Groups, something that is difficult to replicate on Digital Ocean or Vultr unless you intend to write custom code (I believe Openstack or Cloudstack may offer something similar but that's a whole other bag of worms)

Cloudwatch is also an incredibly powerful solution for correlating logs and metrics that can be difficult to replicate without rolling your own solution, which can become quite complex (generally combining something such as Prometheus + ELK + Grafana).

In short, AWS allows you to utilize some incredibly powerful tools without nearly as much management overhead as rolling your own solution.

This is the area where I think AWS excels.

I was sure to add a note to the article after a few people here mentioned it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts :).

I've added a note about T2 unlimited to my article, I will likely be writing up another article in the near future explaining T2 Unlimited concepts.

Thanks for the note!

I just added a note about T2 Unlimited and will see about writing a follow up post explaining the new T2 Unlimited concepts.

EDIT: Added the note and gave a shout out, thanks again :).

I definitely agree, for high traffic applications a compute or memory optimized instance are more optimal choices due to the consistent performance, especially when price isn't as much of a concern.

In situations where cost is more of a concern and the application has "bursty" requirements for performance, I still believe the T2 instance has it's place.

The guys over at Cloudonaut have an excellent article on the importance of T2 burst credits to maintain application performance.

EDIT: The new T2 Unlimited option mentioned at the above article is also worth considering.

I investigated your issues page and the previous comment may be related to the following issue.

After loading a fresh copy of the page, the tab appeared.

With that said I opened an additional issue. Chrome console log did not appear to provide any relevant information.
