For my part, I was using it with Postgres most of the time. I'm on Ubuntu, so there aren't a thousand alternatives. For now, I'm back at using the command line for everything. But the command line sucks when trying to debug/find/compare some data in large tables. :-(

This is a sad news for me. I loved their product, and really enjoyed the fact that it worked great on Ubuntu. Oh well... :-(

From their website:

Hello,

TeamSQL has been a great platform to experiment with modern UI and powerful features to help you manage your popular databases with collaborative features.

Over two years later after launching TeamSQL in 2016, we've learned a lot about how to make database management better. As we look to the future, we want to take a more focused approach that will help us bring the best database management experience. As a result, we’re planning to rebrand TeamSQL as DataRow, starting with focusing on Amazon Redshift and say goodbye to TeamSQL. All TeamSQL services will be shut down on February 27, 2019 (00:00 UTC). We introduced the beta of new DataRow to our Amazon Redshift users in January this year, and now it is publicly available to everyone. DataRow comes with new features, which helps you work faster. Visit DataRow's website at DataRow to learn more about how the features in DataRow can help you manage your Amazon Redshift better.

We are always here to help you switch from TeamSQL to the new DataRow with ease. Please contact us at contact us if you have any questions. See you there.

Sincerely,

Eren Baydemir CEO

I'm adding my voice: Let's Encrypt and Certbot have made my life much easier. We manage somewhere around 100 websites where I work, and we were probably no more than 4 out 5 to monitor certificates, and renew them actively. It's a million times easier now.

Thanks a lot, and keep up your fantastic work!

I can't really see how it's better than Monero. From their website:

Monero uses ring signatures, ring confidential transactions, and stealth addresses to obfuscate the origins, amounts, and destinations of all transactions.

Can I upvote twice?

I experienced the same with Google+ and D&D over the past years... But they're closing now. :-p

I understand that. My Facebook profile is mostly empty to an outsider, and even to many of my so-called friends. Hehe!

I said that because the more I think about it, the more I find social media platforms don't really help me stay in touch with anyone. I mean, yeah, I can see they got a third kid or that hunting season was great this year, but nothing near a real conversation around a coffee or a beer.

That's why I started using MatterMost ,an open source Slack clone, or like I tell my less tech-savvy friends: IRC on steroids. (IRC was the go to choice when we were teens)

Wow. Thanks for the way you put this out. This is exactly how I was feeling / what I was experiencing. So I went ahead, and installed my own MatterMost instance with friends.

What I realized recently is that Facebook is built in a way that makes it really hard to have a real conversation. People only share links and shout their opinions with no real place for exchange.

My personal thanks to you then! Teaching good ethics too people in a position where doing bad things would be relatively easy is really the way to go, in my opinion at least.

I've been running my own MatterMost (a Slack clone) instance for a little while now. I've invited some close friends, a tiny bit of family, and colleagues I particularly appreciate. It's been fantastic so far. I decided to host it on a VPS because upload speed at home truly sucks, and hosting it locally wouldn't turn into a good experience for other users. Still, I own all the data. I've told all the other members that I do, and they're OK with it.

I bought a nice sounding domain name, got an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, and was good to go! My mental health has been increasing since then (no joke).

I caught myself writing way too intense titles when sharing very legitimate stuff on Reddit for that same reason. I keep telling myself that if my title is "just normal", nobody will take a look at what I'm sharing... when it's probably the opposite.

This is mostly why I have come to hate most social media: too many people around me share this crap, most of the time, without even reading it I guess. I open Facebook and within seconds, I'm hit with mixed feelings of sadness, anger, despair and anxiety (something I'm actively working on).

I recently installed my own Mattermost instance where I invited close friends and some family who I trust won't share all this crap.

Fantastic article! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot for sharing. Having young kids of my own, this have me a lot to think about. We have a couple of similar arrangements on other matters here, but the way you put it will most probably help me make it clearer and applying it better.

Yes. What an amazing woman.

I understand that this isn't a very great article, but like I thought would happen, it started a nice discussion here. I love the quality of comments on HN.

The part that I've been asking myself for years, is how do you create an atmosphere without (or almost without, can't remember) a magnetic field. Is it possible or we would have to generate one?

I didn't even realize that. I guess that with hopes of finding new life at their highest ever, we wouldn't want to contaminate that (if that's the right way to say it).

Very interesting. I've been looking for something like Syncthing for a while now, without luck. I ran into TLS/https issues (can't remember what exactly) while configuring OwnCloud/NextCkound, and realized it had some security flaws I wasn't ready to live with. I decided to stick with Google Drive. I'll give a try to Syncthing this summer. Thanks!

Everything's back online now. It's been like 5 minutes.

Same here. Slack is working great though.

I'm in the province of Quebec (Eastern Canada), and we're having huge problems with most websites. Strangely enough, LTE network is working on the three providers I've tried.

I've said it before: Zcash has nothing Monero isn't already offering. And like others said, right now, I still haven't seen a mining pool or an exchange that can handle anonymous transactions. An example: http://zcash.flypool.org/

Also, Zcash had an initial trusted setup ceremony after which the 6 participants supposedly all deleted their private keys. You DO have to trust none of those have colluded to someday, for example, start creating zcash coins for their own good without anyone knowing.
