Oh but I made my own special spec tests rather than tracing it to source code of the compiler, it’s “this test program executes this spec semantic so if the compiler makes it work you’re good” more than “this compiler implements this spec it’s confirming”

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to parse user generated html and remove all the dangerous stuff? Bleach and nh3 are great libraries, but now there's a third: JustHTML! It has a policy based html sanitizer built in, that is enabled by default. It just works! :) Read more here: friendlybit.com/python/justhtm

Billionaires with $1 salaries
– and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches

Billionaires can enjoy growing wealth entirely free of income tax and reporting

Mark Zuckerberg was the lowest-paid employee at Meta in 2024,
and he made US$1.

But he is not the only very rich person who has collected $1 for a year’s work.

Why would incredibly rich CEOs make only $1 a year when they could pay themselves millions?

The reason is taxes.

Income from work is the most heavily taxed type of income,
as it is subject to both income and payroll taxes.

A self-employed person who makes a modest income of $60,000 will pay over $13,000 of it in payroll and income taxes.

Meanwhile, high-income earners who earn a $400,000 salary can pay about 30% of their income in payroll and income taxes.

So the first step in avoiding taxes is avoiding salary,
and that is what our richest Americans often do.

다른 회사들이 이미지를 무단 원클릭 딸깍하는 기능을 못 넣어서 안 하는 게 아니다. 비단 창작자의 권리만이 아니라 딥페이크의 초상권의 문제 프라이버시의 문제 등 AI에 관한 모든 문제적인 지점이 걸려있고, 그걸 '막진 않아도 거들진 않는' 것이 플랫폼들의 저지선 중 하나인데, 일론 머스크는 인류 최저 최악의 테크브로 양아치답게 그 저지선을 플랫폼 차원에서 짓밟고 뭉개고 들어온 것. 난 이젠 불매 입장이다. 비위 상해서 못하겠음.

Running FreeBSD 15 VM-Image on Proxmox? You might have noticed your cloud-init static IPs are being ignored. 😓

The issue: Proxmox generates legacy cloud-init "v1" configs, but FreeBSD's new nuageinit tool only understands the modern "v2" format. The result is a silent fallback to DHCP (or no IP at all..).

I wrote a shell script to bridge the gap. It runs on the host and generates a custom ISO with the v2 syntax FreeBSD actually expects.

Read the full breakdown and grab the script:

So, this afternoon sucked.

Kimball and I were driving into town to run some errands, when.... wump wump wump wump wump..... Car is driving funny, and sounding funnier. We are on OH-199, while a predominantly rural route, is still a fairly busy two lane road. Pull over best I can, which is not much. Sure enough, we have a flat tire. Only thing nearby is a farmhouse on the other side of the road, so Kimball runs over to knock on the door. We wanted to make sure that they would be chill with us pulling into their driveway so I can put on the spare tire.

Nobody answers. Okay, so I guess if no one is home, we can just use their driveway, and ask for forgiveness if they come home before we are gone. So we pull in, pop the trunk, and pull out the spare tire and jack. First things first, loosen the lug nuts.

HUUUUURGH! nothing.

HURGH! still nothing.

HUUUUUUUURGH! I can't get them to budge, whoever last rotated my tires really torqued these bastards down good.

So Kimball, being an auto damage adjuster, knows every tow truck operator in the area, and which ones won't rip us off. I continue fighting with the lug nuts as she calls her favorite.

FLASHING LIGHTS!

Two police cruisers pull into the driveway behind us. It turns out, a woman was home, but instead of opening the door, she pretended she wasn't home. And when we decided to use her driveway anyways, she called the police.

This fucking country...... We are all afraid of each other anymore.

But it worked out fine, the cops called it in for the reality it was. They even told us we made a good call getting off the road and helped me get the lug nuts free. They were both significantly bigger and stronger than me, and even they had a hell of a time getting them loose.

Amusing sidepoint, I had to show them how to use the jack. They were amazed.

So, I get the spare on and lower the jack and........ the spare is almost completely flat. Frack.

Upon close inspection, it still has some air in it, enough to keep it off the rim. The police back out and hold traffic for us to slowly back out, and we slowly drive the 6-7 miles home. I managed to reinflate the spare with my compressor. Kimball drove the car to the service station, and I followed in the Daxi Taxi.

So fuck it, it's super past lunchtime and we frustrated and famished. Time for Mexican!

I just cannot believe she called the police on us, it was _really_ obvious what we were doing. This fucking country, we hate each other, and we are afraid of each other.

feel like this explanation is a bit too flat. it's not as simple. it's the fact that

1.) Repairing the roof in the summer would cost more than removing the standing water when it rains
2.) The people actually working under the hole in the roof do not have a choice on whether it gets repaired. It's the people who work in houses with well-maintained roofs that decide when it makes sense to replace the roof
3.) The time spent working around the hole in the roof costs more money than the time spent fixing it. This is because during the sunny days the people working without a roof get sunburn. The problem is that because that's not actually realized or tangible, the people making decisions with a roof over their head just see the cost to repair vs the cost to remove water.
