Peppermint OS website down, where can I find an image?

Hi,

I've been trying to install Peppermint OS today and I've noticed that their [website](https://peppermintos.com/) is down and giving me a database error.

I've looked around and I found a Reddit post from last month saying that they had a certificate expiry issue.

Where is a reliable place I can find an image of it?

If anyone could provide a magnet link/download mirror that would be great

Installing Terminator terminal emulator on macOS

Terminator is my favorite terminal and I haven't found a comparable one for macOS. On their site it says

>"To install Terminator on Mac OS X you will need to be using the [Fink](http://www.finkproject.org/) project, and have it configured to allow unstable software. With those requirements satisfied, in a terminal run:
>
>fink install terminator"

I did that. Took forever and I had to modify the Fink source code to install to my /Users/Shared folder instead since the root directory ('/') is non-writable. I disabled SIP and it still wouldn't allow me to write to it with chmod. So I re-enabled SIP and just chose the /Users/Shared folder instead.

Once I got fink installed, I ran the install terminator command and all was good. Except that I can't find terminator anywhere.

Has anyone successfully installed Terminator on their mac and can share how they managed it?

Decent/Cheap VPS host with 4GB RAM /20GB disk, postgreSQL/Tomcat, ssh in, etc?

I just went through a few iterations of installing my app on AWS. It relies on a big JVM and uses postgreSQL and Tomcat. I need at a minimum 4GB of RAM and at least 20GB of space which did not work on the AWS EC2 free tier. So, I am looking at $75 a month with the EC2 instance I had to use, although I guess I can stop the instance when I am not using it. This is an instance that would have 1 to 3 users and pretty much just on it during the day.

I googled around and it seems that I can get by with using another host that is a lot less expensive. Chatted with Fastcomet but they want me to use MySQL. Digital Ocean looks like I can get away with a system for $20/month. I would like to take a backup and/or snapshot of my system and maybe store it locally (I am not sure). It seems the DO low price, includes problems with billing/cancelling, and support does not get good reviews (although I probably would not need much, unless there are problems on their end).

There are so many companies in this VPS space out there...any advice/recommendations when it comes to the needs I mentioned? Anybody else out there have similar needs and found the right host?

jtbl: simple JSON tables in the terminal

`jtbl` just does the right thing. You pipe in JSON or JSON Lines and a beautiful table is printed. No configuring of headers. It will auto-wrap if your terminal is too narrow for the data. You can truncate vs. wrap, if you'd like, but other than that it's pretty simple and elegant.
