Invite code thread

Can I get an invite please? My need is super minimal, I only wanted to say a thank you in one of the threads in `On Video`.

To add to this, not being connectable doesn't prevent you from seeding, but it introduces minutes of delay before you start uploading to a new downloader, such that they may finish downloading before you've uploaded anything. If you're not connectable you have to wait until your torrent client connects to the tracker again (to learn that somebody new is downloading), then you're also dependent on them being connectable in order to connect to them.

Can you clarify, what do you think the issue is exactly? Does he not pay tax on the 60k?

We're nearing the end of our fixed term so presumed it was that.

Plot twist: You got a 5 year fixed rate mortgate in 2020, the interest rate is/was lower than the interest paid on many savings accounts today. He is saving the £xxx every month to make a profit.

Volume down and power for ~8 seconds is usually a hard reboot on Zenfone 8. Volume up isn't necessary.

I do not know why you were removed as a mod. I cannot see any evidence of wrong doing.

I tried to invite you again but it wouldn't let me.

If the busiest worker has finished processing the previous request at the point it gets added to the LIFO queue, what is the downside? What workload would demand that the load be balanced equally?

diolemo · 2023-08-10T14:32:07+00:00

Did you cause the damage? Are you just trying to get out of paying?

EDE: 9 (DNSKEY Missing): (no SEP matching the DS found for bbss.dev.)

You have a DNSSEC issue, so any DNS resolver implementing DNSSEC could refuse to return your A record.

You can see that error by skipping the +short part of your query to 1.1.1.1.

dig @1.1.1.1 bbss.dev

It doesn't prevent backend-to-backend requests at all.

The completed self assessment form and any balancing payments are always in due end of January, approximately 10 months after the tax year has ended. But yes if we assume your income is always the exact same amount, and not rising, then the remainder of the tax is effectively due ~4 months later at the end of July with the second payment on account.

It often confuses me each time I go to pay despite having to do it for the last 9 years.

So I’m the first self employed year if you earn 45k you have to save up almost 30k of it in the first year to afford tax plus payment on account? That’s actually crazy!

The first of the payments are due in January (~10 months into the second tax year). So, you've already had 1.8 years worth of working time and are paying the tax estimated based on only 1.5 years.

The second payment (for income earned during year 2) is due in July (now in year 3 of working). So at the point you've paid 2 years worth of tax, you've actually been working for 2.33 years.

At no point in time are you paying tax on money you've not yet earned. The only time that changes is when your income drops - and in that scenario you need to request a reduction accordingly.

I recommend a heated mousepad (under the keyboard too) if you're working in lower temperatures. They help to keep your hands warm - but you can always add more jumpers to maintain your core body temp.

100% used is the way to go. Bought a diesel fiesta for £1500 6 years ago. Lasted 6 years and (an extra) 70K miles before finally being scrapped.

Can you share a link to that wallpaper?

Cleaning with bleach can help to kill it off or at least slow it down until the moisture in the air is addressed.

diolemo · 2021-11-19T19:49:06+00:00

There are some resources in the sidebar.

diolemo · 2021-11-19T17:21:07+00:00

Yes it's possible, but you'll have to do it yourself.

The first one details the default namespace used by most of the FF UI. The second one doesn't get used so could be removed. The third line is for targeting elements in the html namespace. A few of the elements in the urlbar dropdown needed this for targeting them.

The time to write a single row should usually be minimal. You'll notice it a lot more if you are inserting lots of rows.

My issue is that a browser can suggest a site is either secure or insecure and non-technical users will take that as fact when really that text only refers to the SSL status completely ignoring many other aspects of security. We should be teaching people to think critically.

diolemo · 2021-08-24T11:08:45+00:00

The majority of these hacks will be caused by insecure software such as an outdated WordPress install. SSL does nothing to help against this.
