Hello HN!

  Fullstack (Frontend, backend, APIs, server apps)

  Hosting: bare-metal, Hetzner, Linode, Leaseweb, AWS
  Databases: MySQL, MSSQL
  DevOps: Ansible, QEMU, HAproxy, Kubernetes, ProxySQL

CV and past project specifics available on request.

I tried backbone.js and couldn't get past white screen of death even after a few days of trying. Comparing that to Vue, it's just barbaric.

vnukon Ask HN: Tips on Sysadmin Job

As your first move I'd suggest start pushing managment for a new hire. Four locations and only one person managing them? That doesn't sound feasible in the long run and it's definitely not fair to you.

vnukon MobaXterm free Xserver and tabbed SSH client for Windows

I've been using it for a year or so as my main terminal app (putty replacement), renewed for 2nd year and will keep using it. While it is a great kitchen sink for anyone on Windows overall UI experience is not so great. Windows UI guidelines are not followed - dialog boxes look like they are from another planet. Occasional weirdness occur with SFTP browser not starting when connecting (app restart required) and other little things like that. Support is decent. Loving MOSH support.

Adjust your basic security level to modify CloudFlare's protection behavior. A low security setting will challenge only the most threatening visitors. A high security setting will challenge all visitors that have exhibited threatening behavior within the last 14 days. Essentially off will act only against the most grievous offenders.

vnukon AWS Free Usage Tier now Includes Microsoft Windows on EC2

You're probably right, but this is kind of fine print that isn't really visible (especially to new users) so it is important to put it in plain sight...

vnukon AWS Free Usage Tier now Includes Microsoft Windows on EC2

Although they've increased free tier EBS limit to 30 GB, all windows images have root images of exactly 30 GB. So if you're planning (like me) to use both windows and linux instances in free tier you have to either install windows from installation media snapshot (on a EBS volume which is smaller than 30 GB) or pay for overage on EBS storage ...

vnukon Should I abandon VB.Net?

What, you've never seen/heard of peer pressure :D

It exists even after high school :)

vnukon Should I abandon VB.Net?

I'll share my two cents, being a VB.net developer primarily, and a C# developer. I do .net consulting work in either vb.net or c#, makes no difference. Learning curve from vb.net to c# was nonexistent.

Working with C# is like working with a special needs child. I know that some things can happen automatically but they just don't, and I have to do them manually. This is not a language issue, but Visual Studio issue. And this is a reason for ReSharper and other addins that make my life with C# bearable. With VB.net I don't need any addins other than Visual Studio itself.

When switching to vb.net after doing c# for even couple of weeks, my code just flows from my fingers and I feel much much more efficient while writing code.
