Russian Circles for the former, Frodus for the latter.

My Vaultwarden is behind a private VPN, but I’ll still update today. Thanks.

Double taxation treaties are very common. What I’ve been told by US coworkers makes the US stand out is that you still need to file your taxes with the IRS, even when living abroad. No idea if that’s actually the case.

I have lived outside my native country for a while and only had to file taxes in my country of residence (neither of which is the US), because there’s a DTAA in place between the two.

He also doesn’t have a passport, because they are issued in his name.

Paying billionaires to watch millionaires play games.

I like IMDb ratings as a broad gauge of quality. 99% of movies under 5.5 or so are not something I enjoy. Beyond that it’s just taste. Although I like most movies in the top 250, the order of movies (x is better than y) is useless to me.

True, but we do have the vaccine and the means to mass-produce and administer. That’s why I’m not worried about smallpox.

When I check ticket prices for my family of five, the cheapest option at Disney World is 1700 Euro. That’s on the Disney website and does not include travel or lodging or food.

Really? I just used a passkey for the very first time with Google and Bitwarden and it worked quite nicely. What about passkeys is worse for you?

True, but social media amplifies the dumb shit and creates new incentives and pressures to join the idiot herd. And while TikTok is definitely not the only problem, it is a problem.

When it came out, I saw the trailer and decided that it’s not for me. Way too scary. Then recently I watched a commented speed run and thought “Yep, I was right”.

Same in most languages (a variation of fagott).

I’ve been doing home networking for many years now and the public Domain + Cloudflare DNS + Let’s Encrypt is the easiest it’s ever been.

There is really no reason to use self-signed anymore. I use Let’s Encrypt even for 10.0.0.0/8 addresses.

I hate you.

Haha. If you just want to speak English, I think it is easier. But writing or reading aloud correct English, with all the bizarre nonsense its Germanic and Normannic history forced into it? It’s a fucking nightmare.

Just an example: https://www.learnenglish.de/pronunciation/pronunciationpoem.html

And there are many, many more.

Bullshit. I’ve known of him for many years now, ever since he sold out his buddies to the police and worked for an infamous lawyer who sent out copyright infringement notes (!). He’s an asshole, always has been.

This fucking guy is not a good poster child for wrongful persecution. Yes, the copyright stuff is complete bullshit. But the guy has been an asshole and a criminal for all his adult life. Let him go to jail, if a judge decides so.

It’s a domain with hosts that all resolve to private IP addresses. I don’t care if someone manages to see hosts like vaultwarden, cloud, docs or photos through enumeration if they all resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 addresses. Setting up a private resolver and private PKI is just too much of a bother.

I found options like .local and now .internal way too long for my private stuff. So I managed to get a two-letter domain from some obscure TLD and with Cloudflare as DNS I can use Caddy to get Let’s Encrypt certs for hosts that resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 IPs. Caddy has plugins for other DNS providers, if you don’t want to go with Cloudflare.
