I doubt you need more than a notepad app. It’s what I used the last two times I had to move between countries and it was more than enough for me and customs. I simply wrote down important stuff as I put them in numbered boxes.

Spreadsheet are overkill, a note app is easy to access on your phone at all time and can be easily shared with someone.

Here’s a sample of what I ended up with:

• 15 - camera stands / shoemaking tools / notepads / trophies / guitar cable / weaved basket X2 / cooler bag / curtain rings X 3 /

…

• 25 - Nespresso coffee machine, Italian coffee maker, plates & dishes, kitchen utensils.
• 26 - casserole, dishes, plates, kitchen stuff
• 27 - casserole, cups
• 28 - wedding dress, photos, various cat stuff, photo bag

By curiosity, what are you trying to say ?

If only we could just ban the whole thing but unfortunately “muh muh tradition, me like watch animal being tortured”.

My guess is that you are both correct.

And you thought this couldn’t get any worse.

They arrest a Briton every year for some dumb shit to remind everyone else to follow the law. At this point it has become a tradition, it’s like their version of Guy Fawkes night but with a real person.

Usually the story is also a bit more complex than the “detained in Dubai” people tell you, sometime it is actually unfair, sometime they just hide half of the fact it to make it look unfair.

In any case in the UAE, you can go to jail or at least get fined for insult and slander. You can agree or disagree whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing but everyone living there knows it.

You don’t get arrested for bad reviews. People review stuff on gmap and other all the time. I’ve left my fair share of 1 star to crappy places so there must be more than “he was jailed for a bad review”. It’s most likely for insulting someone.

Of course I have no idea what the other side of the story actually is or what the review said.

For some reason most girls got angry at me when I did.

You’re joking but when I was living in Asia, people would constantly tell me I looked like whatever random white celebs they saw last from Brad pit, Di caprio, George Clooney or Wentworth miller from a fan of prison break and so on, and I even got Vladimir Poutine a few times. I could have understood Rupert Grint but the rest was just pure “cross race effect”. :D

Happens to everyone.

The sentences when someone gets a sentence for 100’s, or 1000’s of years, do they have the same function?

Basically the judge saying that no matter how much time credit your get for good behaviour while in prison you’re still intended to spend the rest of your life there.

The UN: India is already within the target of Paris agreement for per capita CO2 emission.

The Indians: Hold my lassi !

Self hosted server to do what?

Because I have a self hosted server running on a refurb Lenovo mini-pc that I bought for $90 and it does a fine job running the dozen or so docker image of service I need.

But I ain’t gonna run no LLM on that machine, that’s for sure.

The Israeli left has been advocating for peace for the last 57 years and losing ground because of it so don’t hold your breath.

Sooo… An enterprise cloud ready native DevOps cold fusion AI climate change llm prompt: insert more marketing keyword here ready…

… boolean storage platform ?

I’ll tell you if you give me the dimension of the pool in standard banana units.

You can’t serve Scandinavian food to prisonners it is forbidden by the Geneva convention.

But that’s also why you don’t know the commands in the first place, if you used them you would remember them. It’s self sustaining ignorance ;)

Ps: I kid, there a lot of stuff I don’t care to remember the cli for and I happily use GUI.

PPS: docker logs -f container_name ;)

I always wondered what’s the point. You could divide the face value of every note by 1000 and it still would mean the same. A meal would cost 50 instead of 50,000.

I’d be happy to pay the VAT if someone sold and crate-shipped Trump to a third world country. How much is 12% on a dollar anyway…

By taking hostage their back offices and call centers and paralyzing their operations until they pay :)

That reminds me of work. I’m old, young me has been through the mistakes and the pain of wanting to control and self-host everything.

Now I manage a team of young idealists who have not yet been burned sufficiently hard by reality and I feel like I spend half of my time denying them permission to add new self-hosted services to our stack.

Just last month a young padawan was pissed at the spent on an external auth service and had been pushing hard for a self hosted OSS solution which he was convinced he could handle by himself (which was most likely true, from a purely technical standpoint).

Since he wouldn’t let it go, I “punished” him by having him spend one day in excel and powerpoint to prepare a cost benefit analysis to present to the architecture review board, including server cost, backups, redundancy, security, monitoring, pen-testing, auditing, his time and all the bells and whistles we needed to be compliant with all the ISO-x we have to be. (we’re in a banking related field).

Our estimated internal cost ended up about 6x the one of the SASS solutions and still wasn’t as reliable.

Most people don’t understand the amount of effort it requires to run a secure & reliable system and if I had a dollar for everytime I heard it’s as simple as “docker run”, I could retire early.
