For me this all copyright / license topic is non sense, that's why I don't even bother adding a license to my projects, some years ago I used to add MIT licenses when requested, however these days I just ignore those requests, they can use it or not, but I'm not doing any effort to fulfill these copyright / license claims.

I agree with the idea the post is trying to do but not with the justifications, I think it's wrong to compare Kubernetes vs rsync or ansible, it resolves a different problem, container cluster management, a more appropriate comparison would had been to compare with simpler solutions in the same domain, such as docker swarm or nomad.

I was reading https://blog.dbi-services.com/using-tmux-for-semi-interactiv... last week and though it was a great idea, so I hacked this vim plugin to make it easier.

New comment by chilicuil in "Ask HN: What is your password management solution?"

chilicuil — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 17:26:28 +0000

You shouldn't use hash functions designed for integrity, they're fast, fast is bad for password hashing, a single AMD graphics card can compute 200M guesses per second for single sha-512 iterations, instead use bcrypt, scrypr or any other hash function specifically designed for key stretching.

I've been using mutt + vim + gpg + multiple gmail account for the last ~5 years and it's proven to be fast and easy to use, the only issue I have is that it disconnect from time to time from the imap servers.

chilicuil — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:14:38 +0000

This is great, I have a similar configuration with near to zero effort to setup thanks to vundle (vim) and tundle (tmux) plugin managers.

One additional trick I often use is to look for inotify events in split tmux panes to compile/run tests on every save.

chilicuil — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 17:34:10 +0000

I'm fortunate to only depend on a single platform, Linux in my case, so I rent a 1TB vps[0] to whom I rsync[1] every day . Then depending on the criticality of the service I'm backing up I create weekly/daily/monthly snapshots (rdiff-backup). I encrypt sensitive data using symmetric aes 256 (gpg).

Other than using [tmate](https://tmate.io/), I use some aliases:

github-pair (https://github.com/chilicuil/shundle-plugins/blob/master/ali...)

github-unpair (https://github.com/chilicuil/shundle-plugins/blob/master/ali...)

Those add / remove keys from github to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

It highly depends on the zone, in Mexico City surroundings you could get or build a house for probably USD 100k+, in downtown it could easily be 500k for a full house or 200k for a department flat. It could sound cheap but the average salary is low too, so you can easily be in dept for the next 25-30 years. Many people buy or build outside of the border city and spend 3-4 hours everyday commuting. In general, I think people try really hard (sometimes during its whole life) to buy/build its own but I don't see that happening much longer, specially for young people who start working at an older age and has additional aspirations.
