Re:Ask HN: Wywd with a 256gb/40c 300tb/month server? on Thursday August 07, 2025 @08:38PM (#44832120)
Forgive me if it’s a rude question but I’m assuming it’s a monthly cost. Can I ask how much you are paying for it? It also might be helpful so others can offer suggestions maybe tailored towards helping pay for it. :)
Just curious as a non-US hner — what is the problem?
Excellent post imo. Wish more people would be ready to pay more than always wanting to pay less. Especially the 0.1%.
Nice job on the site! As a designer what tools and tech did you use to create all the parts?
Would it be possible to try and team up with another charity maybe in a different part of the world? I’m not sure if that is any use.

I would like to make a donation to the cause. :)

Probably not relevant to anything, but what do you do for your £500 a day? :)

Tech has essentially created this problem. Can’t tech fix it?

Try this guide. Focussed on Uk, but should work elsewhere. :)

Are you looking at, or doing any other forms of passive income that don’t share the same flaws as above?

Do you charge for job placements or is it via ads?

Hey Shubham, nice report and write up.

Do you see much demand on the mobile security side, either as a specialist or focussing on mobile bounties?

Is the salary drop pretty steep?
Re:Show HN: Linux sysadmin course, eight years on on Sunday September 06, 2020 @11:09AM (#24391845)
Is Linux admin suitable for women with disabilities? I have a friend who would like this, but I hesitate to recommend it if she would be discriminated against as a job candidate.
Curious - why do you suggest this field?
I get asked this question now and again, which router should I buy, and it’s so confusing to the average non tech person. The state of home routers is terrible with updates and poor support. So I bought nearly £2000 worth of routers over 18 months and started trying to find out which were any good. The ones to avoid became this list/site. It’s got affiliate links for uk, but the choices are good for anywhere. If it helps someone make a better decision and avoid being hacked or spied on, then I will feel like it’s been worth it. :)
I’ve been learning about network security as well. Such an interesting field. Why have you decided on this particular area to study/go into?
With your side projects - do they revolve around web apps or code? I’m interested to know as a non dev what area you chose.
iOS or android? Native ?

As an important addition to this - use a completely different line for calling the real company. If the suspicious call came from a cell, use another cell phone. If call came from landline, use a cell.
