Given their past history and current geopolitics, I'd be willing to bet this is more likely than not.
Open to feedback or tips and tricks on this, but so far it's looking promising. Curious how other folks experience has been.
I've been trying to figure out how to build up that liquidators network, and sounds like you've really nailed it!
I'm likely running a personal lab similar to many folks on HN - about 20-30 wired servers and a small rack of managed Unifi switches.
Appreciate you!
It's possible to make it work, you have to be very firm on your boundaries. One option that worked for me was to explain that I can effectively do more timezone coverage despite being in the same Geo-zone.
It also helped to showcase the work I do while they are offline, so when they wake up they see a column of work that has been bounced back across to their plate.
It is definitely hard though, and takes the right crowd who respects you enough to make it work.
It's probably impossible to do this as a CEO though.
The folder with the mirrors is then uploaded to a backup provider, in my case Borgbase [2]

CPAP.com is great for decent prices and direct to consumer sales.
If the internal pressure is annoying, airtight earplugs help with keeping the sinus pressure even.
I understand that most folks probably have 10-300 books, but in my case I have some large libraries I tried to use with Calibre, and it just absolutely DIES.
The steadfast decision to exclusively use SQLite doesn't help. I opened a PR back in 2016 or so, but the maintainer was quite enthusiastically opposed to changing the DB layer or making it pluggable.
I was able to set up fiber link aggregation with triple NICs and a custom VLAN and MTU with no issues. It supports bridges and child interfaces just fine.
Can you share your details?
I have been a long time customer of the enterprise version of Streamdal, and I can confidently say Daniel and Ustin are absolutely KILLER engineers. Any time we spoke I always was impressed by their super deep experience and understanding of modern challenges!
So good to see you getting some love on HN. Excited to implement this in some personal projects as well!
It runs QMK (https://docs.qmk.fm/#/) and is very customizable.

Ask HN: Why do $5 VPS offerings still have the same specs as 10 years ago?
2012: Digital Ocean (or equivalent) offered VPS's with 1gb RAM and 20gb disk for $52020: $5 still gets you at most 1 vCPU, 1gb RAM, and 20-50gb SSD.Why is there no price innovation happening? Cloud offerings seem to be static, despite cost reductions and other progress.
Some new tech that hasn't made it on the list yet:
- https://github.com/issmirnov/zap - recursive URL expander, can be run at DNS level. Ie, "n/" -> "https://news.ycombinator.com/" or "f/g/homelab" -> facebook.com/groups/homelab
- netdata
- https://varnish-cache.org/intro/
- AFP/NFS/samba for file sharing
- https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web - web UI for calibre ebooks
- https://jupyter.org/ for python scripts and web scraping
- https://github.com/cdr/code-server for an IDE in a tab.
- https://www.portainer.io/ if you use docker
- https://yourls.org/ for a private URL shortener in your home
Either way, with $200k salary the rent mentioned in the article is doable.
Background: Average of 10 programmers who range ages 22-25 and are 2-3 years out of college.
Base: 140k Bonus: 30k Equity: ~60k Total: $230k year pretax.
Taxes: - 33% federal bracket - 10% state bracket - 7% FICA+Medicaid. (50% total)
Brackets listed are marginal rates, actual rates are noted here: https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator#p9c7Y...
Let's run the math - $230k comp - $83k taxes = $147k/year - assuming no other expenses, no retirement savings and no other income, that's 147/12 = $12.2k/mo, post tax. At this point $5,500/rent is easy.
Realistically, the breakdown is more like this: $147k post tax income - $20k retirement - $18k food/drinks ($1500/mo in SF is reasonable) - $10k car payments - $10k insurance/misc = $89k/year
$89k / 12 = $7,400/mo post tax and expenses. A $5,500 rent is still doable, but again extremely stupid because you aren't saving.
Google reached out to the author and got the situation resolved.
That being said, I strongly suggest a personal wiki. I write about Dokuwiki on my blog (https://blog.ivansmirnov.name/how-to-make-a-personal-wiki/).
Key takeaways: - Make sure the underlying storage is as simple as possible. Markdown in text files is as safe as it gets - Friction has to be close to zero, otherwise you won't use it - Put information in a deterministic location. Store any information that you might come back to, so that you don't have to repeat your research.
