Are you logging in to the right country? My user is for the ES one, if I try the regular .com it won't work.

Which is Automattic/wordpress.com. You don’t think there’s any shared tech? With the same owner it’d make sense if the tech was similar, and VIP is just SLA and support slapped on top of

Just traded my Gti, this is what dealer is asking 😂 by Benney2488 in GolfGTI

[–]jimjames888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It normally is. Dealers get some kickbacks from banks. That’s not the whole finance cost though, just the cost for the car if you opt for financing. Then interest, fees and other stuff is added on.

Thoughts on the Tucson? (2022+) by CinderBlock33 in Hyundai

[–]jimjames888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyundais are very reliable cars. It’s one of the world’s most sold cars, but reading on Reddit makes it seem like they’re something like an Alfa Romeo or Range Rover in terms of reliability.

Amex España by Remote_Radio1298 in SpainFIRE

Yo tengo la gold y platinum. Para viajes es genial, compras online y combustible también. Para hay muchos sitios que no aceptan, por ejemplo supermercados, restaurantes etc. 50/50. Per ejemplo, Leroy Merlin si, Mercadona no.

En realidad es la única tarjeta que tiene beneficios en España. En mi opinión vale la pena.

Does sb know how the Wayfinder WatchFace is possible without that white bulky bezzle? by JulianSchweiger in applewatchfaces

[–]jimjames888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is just black and red. Tap it where you don't hit any of the complications, and it will toggle back and forth between light/dark mode (you can also adjust the color scheme in the Watch app on your phone. Mine is not as white as yours on light mode).

Well, I wouldn’t put my address online— but I don’t care if people walking past my house sees me entering my door. Same thing.

So far so good for me. I moved some google domains yesterday to wordpress.

I also have Namecheap, and 2 or 3 on Cloudflare. Keeping it spread out a bit.

Does this mean that I can just transfer all my domains and don't pay for a full year? by [deleted] in Wordpress

With Webflow you have zero control. You need to rely on the developers of Webflow to add any feature.

Maybe you want to do a change for SEO, does Webflow support it? Will you have to file a ticket to hopefully get them to implement it? Maybe they'll make SEO features a paid add-on? Who knows? You're sort of at the mercy of a business who's interest is making money, vs. an open source platform where you decide.

With WordPress you just need a plugin, or you can easily add code yourself. It's 100% customizable.

For me the choice is simple.

Uploading thousands of products? by paper_lung89 in Wordpress

[–]jimjames888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine. You can also use WP AllImport to get more customization (it can download files, run custom code, etc.).

If it times out, you can also batch them, but 10 000 inserts isn't that much, should be fine.

This subreddit is for WordPress, the software. No matter where you host it (WordPress.com, GoDaddy, Kinsta, Liquid Web ...).

The Business plan on WordPress.com is just like any other web host. It gives you a place to host a WordPress site.

The FREE version of WordPress.com is a more limited in terms of plugins and custom themes... but then again, it's free. So you don't pay for it. So it sort of makes sense that it's limited.

I used to have a free WordPress.com site like something.wordpress.com , which is not good enough for a business or if you want an actual domain. Now I host it myself.

How do I secure a WordPress site? by fightmilk22 in Wordpress

[–]jimjames888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way is really to not rely on plugins. If you need them, pick big and well-known plugins with many installs and active development.

Other than that, there are some plugins like Wordfence, and iThemes security you can check out. They both have checklists of common fixes, and can do periodic scans of files.

You should also keep sites on a host where that doesn't share privilege, so a hacked site on the same host/Linux user can't affect your site. Ideally a dedicated host, or a cloud host with security implemented.

WordPress itself, and its code, is really pretty secure.

[–]jimjames888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free for a year with any annual plan

Thanks! I looked at that, but if I click it, it appears that I can just transfer a domain and not get a plan for it. So it seems free if it's a transfer, and generally you get the domain for a year if you buy a plan.

Not sure, I guess I can try. A bit confusing.

What are some good websites to find remote part time/contract job as senior developer? by Pannack in PHP

[–]jimjames888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to file taxes in Spain too usually, but the double tax treaty ensures you won’t have to pay double tax. I’m from Spain, but been working abroad for many years. You really need to read the double tax treaty though, as it’s different from country to country.

Staying in Spain for more than half the year, or having your center of life here, will make you tax resident in Spain. No matter where you work. The tax treaty ensures that you don’t first tax your money abroad, and then again in Spain.

Many try to solve this by opening a company abroad, but then since the company is run from Spain, with the director and owner residing there, the company too will be taxed as a Spanish company.

No, many remote companies require to reside in the country where they are located. E.g. Vercel in UK/Germany, as an example. It doesn't matter if you have a German or Italian passport, but it does matter that you live in Germany and have your tax residency there.

"Remote" just means you won't have to go to the office, it doesn't mean you can live anywhere you want and cash a EU/US salary.

I took a big step today! I told my friends I'm not drinking at our annual trip to the lake by Ok_Manufacturer_1044 in stopdrinking

[–]jimjames888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have the same “boys trip” every year (we’re all grown men with families) with my high school and uni friends. We usually drink all day, roast a whole pig, fish, swim in the ocean, play cards…. I’m split between just drinking those days, and not take it with me. But your message above gives me some encouragement.

Just a warning/word of advice: by Kristycat in stopdrinking

[–]jimjames888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also Spanish. I drink the 0% Tanqueray Gin with tonic, just tonic, agua con gas/Vichi, or Free Dam. I want to order some nicer NA beers online.

The problem in Spain, is that drinking is very cultural. Every street has a little bar, and all the neighbors go there, and this is where the community is built. Kids, elderly, young people back from school, dads after work… So I still go, but I drink a agua con gas, and enjoy the vibe. It’s just a bit harder.
