(Quote) I think that your offers above are attractive and tempting to anyone who prefers monthly payments and intends to use their VPS for something other than idling. Furthermore, that you do daily backups is a plus that gives peace of mind.

(Quote) As I understand it, since Perl 6 was to break backward compatibility with Perl 5, there was no practical choice but to make it (effectively) a different product. Perl 7 will preserve backward compatibility with Perl 5, at least to a very lar…

(Quote) Okay, fair enough. (I was assuming that VMware was comparable to KVM as far as this survey was concerned.)

Yeah, just for clarity of comparison, I'd write: For SpectraIP: 2,50€ /month + EU VAT For netcup: 2,69€ /month + EU VAT (advertised price includes 19% German VAT) For Hetzner: 2,49€ /month + EU VAT And let me add: Aruba Cloud: 2,79€ /month + EU V…

(Quote) Although it may not address your precise question, the page "The Timeline of Perl and its Culture" is immensely informative: http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html Perhaps closer to addressing your question, here are slides fro…

Soon we'll need PERL SELEKTER

(Quote) I also use nmh on a couple of servers (see above), but I prefer to use the Emacs interface =) (Quote) I've never used mmh, but it strikes me as a one-man show, whereas nmh at least has a few core developers! I'm a bit tempted to try out th…

The two main email clients that I use (depending on the server) are: * nmh (New Message Handler) with Emacs interface * Read Mail on Usermin

(Quote) Well, since the other forum is LET, it's to be expected. ("Why pay $40 when you can pay $4 on eBay?") Anyway, PC World is legitimate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_World By the way, the Home edition is on sale for 29.99€ ( htt…

Like a number of you, I'm also interested in the similarities and differences between wikis, knowledge bases, and documentation. If one really wants a wiki, I would recommend going with dedicated wiki software. In this case, DokuWiki would be a goo…

(Quote) Another (less self-centered) criticism is that when a 20% tip is expected, the customer suspects that they're covering a part of the waiter or waitress's salary that the employer should be covering.

Traditional German-style cancellation conditions aren't for everyone, so precisely for this reason, it helps to be aware of them.

People, €2,79 /month (+ VAT) isn't the end of the world for a VPS with these specs that one actually uses. In fact, it's still a very good deal given the reliability of Aruba Cloud. It may be a little pricey for a VPS that one idles, but not for a V…

They look pretty attractive to me!

Just to add that Contabo themselves offer real dedicated servers at reasonable prices ( https://contabo.de/?show=server ), so they must feel that there's a market for "virtual dedicated servers", and I suspect that they're right.

(Quote) Hetzner cloud servers with dedicated vCPU at least have the advantage that they have hour-based billing, which can be useful for short-term uses.

(Quote) I was looking at Hetzner's server auction because that was what had been mentioned. But you're right that Hetzner's AX-line would make for a better comparison. (Quote) As far as Hetzner is concerned, perhaps the best comparison would be wi…

(Quote) It seems to me that Contabo's new product line is akin to but significantly cheaper than Vultr's Dedicate Cloud Instances ( https://www.vultr.com/products/dedicated-cloud/#pricing ). These virtual dedicated servers are intended for people wh…
