Vito Botta's personal blog at vitobotta.com covers systems and programming. Since 2011, 10 different Hacker News readers have linked it 83 times, most often “Jenkins CI with Rails projects • has_many :codes”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link Vito Botta's posts on running Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud with the hetzner-k3s tool, and a guide to a free ngrok alternative using Cloudflare. The comments do not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Lead Platform Architect at Brella, Rails developer, and creator of hetzner-k3s (3,700+ GitHub stars). Thirty years of building web applications and the infrastructure behind them.

HN discussionDefacto docker swarm lose race with k8s and one time almost die, and it has much less features than k8s (or even hashicorp nomad)... But in other hand, personally I don't like k8s because of it complexity, and I really don't like when it used for running only few microservices on 3 hosts xD So my opinion: if you don't have resources to learn k8s and you don't run 100 apps with autoscaling - you can adopt docker swar…

HN discussionAn alternative is Rancher. It can provision clusters with the major cloud providers' managed Kubernetes services as well as with virtually any infrastructure. I wrote a post on setting up a cluster with code using Terraform, Ansible and Rancher https://vitobotta.com/2019/10/14/kubernetes-hetzner-cloud-te... - with this approach you can have more resources for less money compared to managed services. Having said that…

It's a simple alternative to WordPress or Ghost. Check it out! 4. Link? https://vitobot…

HN discussionI have been blogging at https://vitobotta.com (hosted on my own blogging platform https://www.dynablogger.com ) since 2010 about web programming, DevOps and related topics. I've had many recruiters reach out to me about jobs over the years who found me via my blog. Much more than from LinkedIn I think. So yeah, a personal website which is relevant to your skills and career can help.
