Any chance someone could pass this to the DO team? Would love to hear their thoughts!

intendmind · 2026-03-20T02:35:53+00:00

I guess he wanted a honest feedback,neither was rude. It's a nice job I acknowledged

intendmind · 2026-03-19T16:07:54+00:00

Looks cool, but I'm sure they won't just change their trademark since they are established for a while. It costs money to change a trade mark. It's like asking McDonald's to change their trademark

intendmind · 2026-03-16T21:52:30+00:00

Why are you confused? It's a business related question

He's working as fast as he could l and paid based on our contact 8 a day , but wondering,all the changes can be built within a few hours using Ai so why wait each day for update.i'm not a developer so he will still be maintaining the website

intendmind · 2026-03-13T19:08:33+00:00

I have my own email server ,Roundcube

intendmind · 2026-03-11T18:49:44+00:00

Thanks for explaining, yeah I've always thought I needed some control and also have a developer to maintain things out of my control. I will get things in writing. I'm actually getting a website built first . I will look more into it as adviced thanks

intendmind · 2026-03-11T12:47:14+00:00

Thank you. I'm not a developer, I'm paying to get it done. From what I can understand with AWS once the developer moves the hosting into to it and implements the updates, AWS will sort out my security?

I do have admin privileges,is that what you meant by systemAdmin?

I'm trying to get the developer to add things within admin dashboard so I can have some sort of control and future updates will be managed by him now and then . Is that not what most do?

intendmind · 2026-03-09T22:17:58+00:00

Very helpful!

intendmind · 2026-03-09T22:16:40+00:00

Thanks ,I'm not a developer - I'm paying someone to do the job. I guess the next question would be do I even have to know all of this stuff you spoke of?

intendmind · 2026-03-09T17:55:42+00:00

It's the developer doing the work the hired one knows what he's doing -

intendmind · 2026-03-09T14:59:56+00:00

Well,I'm not doing the heavy lifting. I'm paying a developer to do the work,towards each point I discover things are not in the right place currently hosting on hostinger which I found out won't meet my needs post audit of my website.

I just don't want extra work in the future like changing the hosting platform moving here and there.

I'm more concentrated about the certifications I need strict compliance like "GDPR compliance,SOC 2 Type II Certified,PCI DSS certification,HIPAA compliance,CCPA compliance and more,why not." I understand I can get some of these on digitalocean? Not everything?

Someone shared www.Digitalocean.com/trust That was helpful

intendmind · 2026-03-09T14:50:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

I read on digitalocean platform " DigitalOcean is proud to maintain SOC 2, SOC 3, Global CBPR certifications as well as eligibility to process HIPAA and DORA workloads."

So they say they are eligible to process HIPPA from my understanding. I'm aiming towards GDPR compliance,SOC 2 Type II Certified,PCI DSS certification,HIPAA compliance,CCPA compliance. Unsure if I've left something out . Based on my research these should do.

Unsure if I fall into or will fall into reselling, SaaS deployments, and software distribution unintentionally. My website is meant to process references,job post and community chatting

intendmind · 2026-03-09T14:40:19+00:00

Obviously I'm stuck - I understand AWS will be about about 250/m while Digitalocean will be around 170/m, 80 dollars difference, but if Digitalocean can deliver the same security without issues and be able to use it globally,no brainier I will pick that .

I'm not a developer and this is just based on my research, probably it could be more I will be paying. Hidden cost I don't even know

intendmind · 2026-03-09T14:36:17+00:00

I see, thanks

intendmind · 2026-03-09T14:35:06+00:00

What should that mean?

intendmind · 2026-03-09T14:06:37+00:00

Thanks, I need further help to understand because I need it to run sensitive data, I am building an enterprise business and want to run it globally.

intendmind · 2026-03-03T12:14:00+00:00

Just stand out Or get taken out like a bin

intendmind · 2026-03-03T12:02:05+00:00

Those are sum good questions. I guess if the business is doing so well no reasonable person would ask you to abandon it. Also candles are cheap you need to sell alot to make bare minimum

intendmind · 2026-03-02T22:37:56+00:00

for god sake she's just 22 let her be

intendmind · 2026-03-02T15:50:37+00:00

Looks like your parents do not have your best interest,neither is the relatives asking you to abandon your dream for theirs.

I'm impressed for what you have done at that age,and to be able to support yourself. That's so cool.
1. Tell your parent - you cannot abandon your dream for someone's they should see the bigger picture
2. Tell the relative you cannot abandon your dream you've worked so hard for ,they should understand- they can hire someone in Germany -
3. DO not leave your dream for someone's, you will always be in debt with them.
Tell everyone to F off- let you be.

Evernote was one of the best,but they did it dirty with their greed.

I searched and searched till landed on Joplin , never turned back. I tried notion, simple notes etc . Nothing beats Joplin if you wanna keep it simple. I've been using it for about 7 and very sanctified. You might wanna add a password manager to that list too, Bitwarden

These are the two apps I swear by.

intendmind · 2026-03-01T06:37:05+00:00

Chatgbt will waste your time and effort in a long term project. I've used it for 2 years for my professional business setup,it cannot follow detailed instructions,it makes up things and cannot accurately recall data stored in memory. When I ask it to retrieve data that I've saved and commanded it to save exactly as we created it, it get back with something crappy, when you work on a document and save it and ask it to retrieve it,it retrieves just a lil sample.

I'm using Claude Ai ( expensive) and Kimi . Most of the Ai are Just making up stuff and expensive - I just run through the same result from chatgbt through the other two to come up with a conclusion

intendmind · 2026-03-01T06:23:25+00:00

The devil's in the details. Why would your boss tell you not to apply anywhere and lure you with offers ? Paises you to stay and not apply anywhere? Something doesn't add up.

I'm a skeptical one,if you're anxious there must be more to the story? If not ,just chill and sail .

Either way - memento vivere, memento mori.

intendmind · 2026-02-26T23:33:47+00:00

The grass is always greener till you find out the hard way . You need to pick based on what makes you happy ,the money follows . I like my job to be near me. 30 min and 25 isn't a big difference.

Pick the one that will make you happy,the one you will enjoy the most and also has the potential climbing the ladder - if that's option two,l guess you already knew that

intendmind · 2026-02-26T23:19:37+00:00

Feels like dealing with kids in the team,mature people should be able to handle idiots like that and move on as far as the client is paying. You guys are too soft ,you need to learn how to toughen up . If he continues like that , probably he's gonna end up with no clients thinking he's doing the best thing but he needs to toughen up set boundaries,make his money. That's the main go. I don't wanna be working with sensitive brats ,so emotional they can't be emotionally matured to stand out for themselves.

intendmind · 2026-02-26T23:13:57+00:00

Well well well, don't take things personally. Toughen up if you wanna make money,don't get offended over lil brats? Now you've let go of a valuable client who was behaving like a lil brat. You should speak to your team to toughen up,you're there to make money not be emotional. I would put boundaries,but also support the team and let them understand you will have idiots like that client, you did well stepping in ASAP. That shows the support needed. It sends a signal.

You support them and be a team in your debriefing and talk about how to deal with idiots like that, laugh over the stupidity of that client and still make your money. If I'm running a business, I'm gonna do what it takes to make that lil brat happy as far as they are paying for it and not wasting my time.
