  • I’ve had fine experiences with Airbnb overall. Did have one host that wanted a copy of my driver’s license and I politely said I wouldn’t be doing that, and then a few weeks later he canceled my reservation at the last minute. Airbnb did reimburse me and I see he is no longer renting there.

    Mostly it’s just staying in a house and the rare times I’ve met the hosts they’ve been nice normal people. YMMV of course but that’s true of hotels as well.




  • I actually ran a moderately active (like 20,000 hits a day) small business site from a laptop for a couple years. Of course one of the first thing I did was put a “SERVER DO NOT SHUT DOWN” sticker on it, and set the power settings so closing the lid did not shut down or sleep the computer. It was a Dell 7000 series with 16GB IIRC, it did great.
