Same here! Received email today (22 Aug) saying: "we've extended your subscription (at no cost to you) by 60 days. Your new subscription expiration date is 09/14/2017."

That's not 60 days from today (or from the end of my monthly subscription)!!!

Re:Ask HN: What is your password management solution? on Saturday July 15, 2017 @03:33PM (#14778479)
Oh I gotta show off my Keepass (http://keepass.info) with Ubuntu on Win10 setup which I just sorted out this week. The Keepass DB is saved on Dropbox.

I use it for all my passwords but crucially also as a SSH Agent for Bash, Git, Pycharm and WinSCP. My SSH keys are in Keepass and it gets used by Git, Pycharm and WinSCP. So all I need to do is unlock the database and it just works when using SSH in Bash or Pycharm or WinSCP or Git.

Anyway, the setup was a bit tricky to find out but it works very well (for me) now. I have documented it here because it might be useful to others: https://gist.github.com/duebbert/6a152ad2030e8dcb6d860802758...

Re:Vue.js 1.0.0 on Tuesday October 27, 2015 @04:14AM (#10456800)
Not commenting here often but I'm a big fan of VueJS! Really hope this will give it more traction now. It has such a small learning curve with then more and more powerful features (self contained components FTW!). Evan is fantastic and bugs are fixed within hours.

Been using Vue for over a year and it replaced an ambitious Angular project for internal operations management which was getting out of control. Migrating to and using VueJS was like a breath of fresh air.

For me it's the best compromise between React and full frameworks like Angular/Ember. Can't believe this isn't backed by a megacorp yet and just a personal project. Congrats, Evan, and thank you!

Re:Moving away from Puppet: SaltStack or Ansible? on Tuesday August 05, 2014 @08:29AM (#8136520)
Interesting to see that Salt seems to have a slightly higher following here compared to Ansible.

I'm managing around 10-15 servers only but after having it all set up with Salt for the last year, I am now migrating it to Ansible despite it being a big hassle. I find it much more straight forward and am happy with the documentation so far.

Salt has bitten me twice in that after (non-master) server updates commands would fail with non-descriptive error message. I reported it as bugs but got too frustrated in the end and decided that with a new server I will start a migration to Ansible.

Very happy so far even though I do see the problems of speed (haven't investigated tuning it) and that it seems to require too many shell work arounds. But conceptually it seems much cleaner to me.

I'm planning to use it in my next project but haven't yet. It seems to fit the bill nicely.
