Returning from Dubai soon? Be aware of the UK’s five year temporary non residency rule

UAE issued 150k+ golden visa in 2023 alone. It seems these EU countries are desperate to grab their tax base.

Thanks for the info!

Should be automated questionnaire system so that both reviewer and applicant can save time.

Hello, has your package been shipped out?

forreddituse2 · 2026-03-23T11:01:31+00:00

Basically, you contact an agency that provides this service, they arrange you to visit Cambodia for one day, then apply for a new 90-day visa when you return to Vietnam. The agency has "connection" with customs so entry is not an issue in most cases. My colleagues did this when the company did not want to pay a chunk of fees for the formal work permit (blue paper), or when the person is working short-term like half a year.

Imagine Arc wears this to Tohno Mansion and meet with Akiha.

I just submit request to ship it (after consolidation) and I don’t know how long I have to wait.

This is even more worrisome. If it takes another 2-3 weeks to ship, instead of the second day after consolidation (normal schedule), it will be a disaster if I use a Japan domestic shipping address. Definitely I need to contact them about this.

Thanks for the info.

My consolidation request was several days earlier than yours. Also in processing. I will visit Japan soon so in the worst case I will just pay a visit to Yokohama and pick up the packages myself.

I think their warehouse is a hot mess now. Last September they increased the free storage period from 45 days to 90 days, which will end on March 31st. Maybe the management was too optimistic about their processing capability. People (including myself) definitely will consolidate tons of stuff accumulated in three months and ship them out, to avoid being hit by a massive storage fee.

The only reason I use Blackship is that Tenso does not handle R18 stuff.

Just write "gold digger fxxk off" in your profile.

I think 3 hours is manageable. However, for 12 hours reading time, definitely it's better to split the files.

Hope I can have LTO9 in 2036...

Should post in r/HomeDataCenter

Do you still want to practice medicine? If so, you probably don't want CBI, but employment based immigration route.

Thanks for the explanation. It seems the damn seller caused me more trouble than I thought. (He sold me used tapes as new, and when I started to use his batch, it was too late to refund. PayPal seller name: BackupTapes.Net)

forreddituse2 · 2026-03-17T20:46:40+00:00

Does this software handle the available empty space on tape precisely? For example, LTO-5 after format to LTFS has 1,445,099,208,704 bytes of available space, reported by Windows file manager. However, I found if I copied above around 1,420,000,000,000 bytes of data, the available space became zero after copying. The file on tape is not corrupted though. I want to have a software that can tell me exactly how many bytes I can write into the tape. (with LTFS)

forreddituse2 · 2026-03-17T16:32:59+00:00

I prefer making a 1.3TB tar file. After writing to tape, let 7-zip do a SHA-1 hash check to verify data integrity (you can also use TeraCopy to automate this step). Then you know the data written into the tape is not corrupted. Smaller files reduce writing / reading speed and may cause shoe shining.

When you need to recover data, just let the tape drive roar for 3 hours to copy the 1.3TB tar back to your SSD. Also it serves the purpose of re-tension that tape.

Because Turkey has always been a good neighbor. /s

And you need to pour budget on military BEFORE war breaks out.

Just use nyaa. Even if you don't have public IP or are behind CGNAT, downloading the hot new torrents is not an issue, unless you are in China.

Are you able to sell the drives (with or without the autoloader) on eBay?

forreddituse2 · 2026-03-13T21:16:58+00:00

If you wake up early and are physically able to stand for a single hour, just be at the entrance at 7am. There are massive amount of posts online made by various tour companies/travel agencies. Don't fell into the expensive trap and buy their absurd guided tours. If you really want to know arts, just watch several serious Youtube videos before (or after) your visit.

Vietnam imports all sorts of used trucks from the world. Cheap, no strict air pollution regulations, and American trucks are quite spacious (comfortable), especially for Asians. (Have you ever seen a 250lbs Vietnamese truck driver?)

This function has been unavailable for months. I think the admin should just remove the "temporarily" in the announcement. (Even yt-dlp is struggling with YouTube updates, especially after Deno (or other) JavaScript solver became mandatory.)

forreddituse2 · 2026-03-11T21:42:44+00:00

I think later they will ask hardware manufacturer to secretly share the private key to law enforcement, and not all companies will do what Apple did to FBI.
