  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay 120k$ within 24h

  • They were in violation of the TOS for abusing CF's IPs with site rotation to circumvent IP bans to their online casino. They need an enterprise plan to BYOIP with their level of traffic. They were given 48 hours notice of site deletion but were given almost 2 weeks before doing so. Read the comment at the bottom of the substack post for further detail.

  • Congrats! It's scary, but this is when you finally have the freedom to live your unique life. Stay in touch with your close friends, everyone else will fade away. And remember, wear sunscreen.

  • Flights in May between New York and Los Angeles will cost $6,000 per dog and human pair, and $8,000 for flights between New York and London for each pooch and parent couple.

  • No problem! When I was picking out which search engines or "plugins" to install, I visited most of the sites on the list and chose the ones I had heard of plus some other ones that looked like they were for English content. Some of the sites were clearly for other languages or for niches like anime, so just pick out whichever ones are relevant to your interests and then you'll be able to search all of their databases instantly without dealing with their terrible websites and just get the magnet link.

  • The day before the first day of work from home I got fired from my engineering job at an oil company. Soon after I smoked weed occasionally for the first time in years after having received random drug tests. Unemployment extensions were nice too!

    I bought a big laser cutter and started making art. Spent more time helping out at the local artist collective sprucing things up.

    Eventually I got hooked up with a cool LED art installation company helping them install their projects as a freelancer. Now I'm full time with them!

    It's lower pay than the oil company but it is so much more rewarding, interesting, cooler people, better work/life balance. Overall the pandemic was fun times for me personally.

  • Thank you for that information. The article is about a German / Austrian woman so I was summarizing the pros and cons of an inheritance tax which might apply to any country since I don't know the specifics of their law or why they changed it it.

  • I think this viewpoint assumes that everyone lives independently. A lot of families function as units and they all live and work together. If you inherit post-tax income from a family member, then the money has been fairly taxed regardless of your viewpoint.

    Why should you have to pay the government to inherit your late-parent's car or business? What happens if you can't afford to pay the tax?

    For the low income families this can make or break a person's way of life, for the 1% it is a way of hoarding the world's wealth and maintain power.

  • For regular people, an inheritance tax is not great. For the ultra-wealthy it should be mandatory.

    Arguments against an inheritance tax:

    • Double taxation: Critics argue that inheritance taxes are a form of double taxation, since the assets being inherited have already been taxed once during the decedent's lifetime.
    • Hurts small businesses: Family-owned businesses can face hardship if they must be sold off to pay inheritance taxes.
    • Discourages investment: Inheritance taxes can disincentivize people from saving and investing, as they know a portion of their wealth will go to the government.

    Arguments for an inheritance tax:

    • Reduces wealth inequality: Inheritance taxes help to redistribute wealth from the very wealthy to the rest of society, reducing income inequality.
    • Prevents concentration of power: By limiting the ability of wealth to be passed on unchecked, inheritance taxes can help to prevent excessive concentration of economic and political power in the hands of a few families.
    • Source of government revenue: Inheritance taxes can be a significant source of revenue for governments, which can be used to fund social programs and public goods.

  • That's surprising that the black box overwrites itself after 2 hours of recording. This article linked to an article I missed about how the plane that had the door/panel fall off had the cockpit audio overwritten because it wasn't collected in time.
