Ask HN: Why are we consuming thing we don’t need?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hey, In the last weeks, I often ask my self, why we buy things we don’t need.Sure, status symbols. But why dose we need a new iPhone, when we just use it for Twitter? Why do we need more then one car per Person? Why do we need this fancy gaming PC with 128GB of RAM, when we only utilize 15% of it?Has anybody asking such things them self? And do anyone has tips to stop buying useless things?Max

Matomoto is Great and was developed with the German Privacy Law in mind. Which was already as strong as the GDPR now.

You should give the Rentenkasse an call. They are happy to tell you, if this would be Scheinselbständigkeit.

Hey there, What do you think about PWYW Tech providers like Uberspace (Uberspace.de)?Are the business model sustainable?What about transparency? Do you want to know, where the money goes to and what the stuff you are using costs?

Hetzner and OVH should be the Same from a Network Point.

Personally I like Hetzner the most. They are dirty cheap and have a good support.

Re:As a business, what do you hide from your customers? on Saturday July 27, 2019 @10:19PM (#20545510)
Ohhh sad, that this post dosen‘t get any upvotes.

Personally, my company is build on trust and I don’t have to lie to my customers.

But what fuck me up the most recently:

To register an ASN in the RIPE Region, you have to be a member (LIR) or find a LIE that sponsor your one.

The costs as LIR are near 0. You only have to verify your customer and get a signed contract. Let’s say you value the time at 10€.

Then you send the stuff to the RIPE via API, Mail or Ticket System.

Then your customer gets the ASN from RIPE and you, as Sponsoring LIR, are done.

Some company’s charge you 200€/yr for this (the industry median is about 90€ and 50% only want it one time.)

If you are targeting Europe, you could give Hetzner a shot. Starting at 2,50€/Month with 2GB RAM, 20GB NVMe and 1 CPU Core.

As of my knowledge, the ping isn´t that bad in the US neither.

It depends on the view.

I currently build a "VPS"-Company based on the uberspace model (PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN). Version 2 will have the ability to encrypt the hard drive and the RAM using AMDs Epic platform (SEV).

The "confidential computing" things gives my work the meaning of giving small users (1VM) the ability to hide there information. As of current knowledge the SEV feature is secure.

So hopefully it will help users to get cheap and near bare metal security for there VPS.
