With CC or bank transfer?

By credit card, it's quite useful for the reward points - I'm fairly sure it was MC and Visa only (no AMEX) last time I did it, though that may change with this new payment provider

Paying UK corporation tax can be done with a personal credit card.

Isn’t it illegal to pay a corporate entities tax with a personal card?

If it isnt it would be one hell if a headache with reimbursement and the accounting and reporting around it.


I imagine it is a bit of a headache, but it is an available option you can choose.

Has to be a personal debit (not credit) card - https://www.gov.uk/pay-corporation-tax/debit-or-credit-card


Maybe the crazy part is also what is a valid IPv6 string. Amd for safety mostly-never pass anything to the shell.

IPv6 addresses are annoyingly complex. This isn't reason why because the shell-passing thing is a bad idea anyway, but it illustrates this.

Outside of interface identifiers, what is so complex about them? I think they end up being purely simpler than IPv4 addresses since they can’t be mistaken for DNS names.

I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead. - M. Twain


It wasn’t Twain who wrote that letter: that quip was posthumously attributed to him, and have been used by multiple others.

The earliest source we have for it is a letter by Blaise Pascal, some 250 before Twain ever thought about writing letters, or anything else for that matter.


TIL. Thanks

It's lossy tho. LLMs are crap at picking the "good stuff". Eg: the summary of the email covered the point about the family event but missed that the deal-terms were moving from Wyoming to Delaware.

Small-cap, mid-cap and ex-US real estate? That's been floated in my circles - that and the 30 year.

Will take 6+ years and lots of fees lost to recover loss. Won't be anywhere close to made whole.

WellsFargo does that. Important notification and advert-BS on the same channel. If you block their notifications you don't get the near-real-time Zelle alert. Enabled you get what you want and also YOU MIGHT BE PRE-APPROVED!

The claims you make about Go/React are similar to the claims made by PHP and Python and JS users. Basically: the thing I'm familiar with is easy - then imply that it would be the same level of easy for others.

This does look easier than Nextcloud however I'm not sure thats the tech-stack. Generally the new project is easier/simpler because it doesn't have so many years of scope-creep, work-arounds, half-imolemented-then-abandond features.


yep very true, everyone has their preferred stack, and greenfield is _always_ easier than maintaining years worth of past code.

I did look really closely at Nextcloud when it came time to leave Google apps. I really wanted it to work but also wanted:

* Realtime updates - Pockebase gives us this for free.

* A native app - React Native <- this one worked out but does cause pain with the web version, some things don't work _quite_ as well as a standard React ap would.

* Lightweight docs that work on mobile. Collabora is very full-featured but is also pretty slow. It remains to be seen if I've successfully here because we're only starting to use our docs "for real"

And also: I'm absolutely sure this has many bugs that I've yet to uncover. All I can say is that I am planning on using it for real-world business stuff so I'm sure we'll be uncovering and fixing them throughout the next year.


Don't do your own trees! Wood is very heavy! It wiggles a lot! Dragons!

IMO the key to doing your own trees (or presumably having them done for less money) is having enough room around them that you can just drop them whole, rather than having to hire someone with a bucket truck and/or climbing spikes to disassemble them from the top down.

I matters taste, the customer is always right.
