Right, so make 5 the minimum then and reserve certain words. I guess I can always use usernames such as "administration", "dashboard" or "profile", right? I believe setting a minimum of 6 letters is a questionnable approach to this problem.
What is it with requiring at least 6 character usernames? Why does it matter to an automated system if I use less? I get that a username with only one letter isn't optimal, but I don't see why it can't be > 3.
While there are comments that mention getting drinks to go, I think 1.80 pounds are extremely cheap for spending time at a place, drinks and snacks included. I'd go.
What does this do? Does it map Dropbox and Google Drive to network drives on Windows (the image indicates so)? Is it a webapp? I'd love to see a more detailed explanation somewhere before signing up.
Nice idea, but I hated the workflow of setting up an account - first I have to type in a phone number manually twice, which is easily readable from Android. I also missed an explanation why I needed to set up an encryption token rightaway (I get what the point is, I'd just much rather try using the app first without having to set up all kinds of passwords and credentials first).
Take Hetzner (large German provider) as an example - while they do offer managed servers and root servers, those are much more expensive. I'm not advocating the use of such products, but merely pointing out that they're still around a lot.
The issue here is that there is still numerous web hosts who don't grant you SSH access, so you're not able to set up any git repository there anyway and are still stuck with FTP. Hopefully this will go away soon, or at least more in the direction of Heroku and the likes.
