I literally lost my last job because I dislike the scrum methodologies and said I haven't ever seen it working good. The team was a mess, the manager a micro-manager claiming empowering people.. I get the idea but I've never seen it working productively.

Dailies are the most stupid invention ever. Even if its just 15 minutes, its either blocks your "agilitiy" if its on a time-slot that you prefer not to work, or it steals almost an hour because you get out of the tunnel, wait for the meeting, have to get into working mode again.

Ask HN: Single node Kubernetes on a VPS?

I own a small vps which I use for private hostings, like mail, nextcloud, a blog and similar things. As of today, everything is managed by docker-compose files and some shell scripts. I'm wondering if it's worth installing K8s on the vps. I have a general interest in K8s.

Maybe I'm wrong, but Pagerduty could be used to ping me, once I do know that the server is not running properly, right? I could use it to ping me if my mail server does not send any logs. This would help in some scenarios.

Ask HN: How do you check if your mailserver is still running?

I'm running my own mail server with postfix and dovecot on a VPS. From time to time I'm scared that the server might be down, especially, if I do not get an email for some time. At the moment I'm just sending myself an e-mail from gmail to check wether its running. Does someone know a service which texts me or sends a push notification?
