My Stripe Tax Story

I've been debating for weeks whether or not I was going to write any of this down. I'm a dad with two kids and a house to take care of and a business to run. Adding story-telling like this to my plate is exhausting.

Until yesterday, I had decided to forget about the whole thing, until I received the email that broke the camels back, as it were.

The best way I can describe why I'm writing this email is for the same reason why you might spend two hours dealing with an uncooperative mobile phone carrier to get them to remove that $5 charge on your bill that shouldn't be there. Some combination of the feeling of frustration and injustice that really pushes my proverbial buttons.

In this particular case, the "$5 charge on my phone bill" turned out to be literally hundreds of recurring subscription invoices that Stripe disabled collection for because, apparently, those subscriptions required "location inputs".

Generally speaking, I don't blog much anymore, and the last thing I wa

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)

rename a section of a filename, i. e. example.1.{txt,conf,db} or 12345.1.{wav,ogg,mp3} and change the 1 to a 2 in the filename while preserving the rest of it.

  zmv -n '(*.)(<->)(.[^.]#)' '$1$(($2+1))$3' # would rename x.0001.y to x.2.y.
  zmv -n '(*.0#)(<->)(.[^.]#)' '$1$(($2+1))$3'

Rename files to lower case

Using Git Commit Message Templates to Write Better Commit Messages

The always enthusiastic and knowledgeable mr. @jasaltvik shared with our team an article on writing (good) Git commit messages: How to Write a Git Commit Message. This excellent article explains why good Git commit messages are important, and explains what constitutes a good commit message. I wholeheartedly agree with what @cbeams writes in his article. (Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now. I'll wait.) It's sensible stuff. So I decided to start following the

Zugriff auf Online-Speicher per »Rclone«

Das Programm »Rclone« ist geeignet, auf eine Vielzahl von Online-Speicher (»Dropbox«, »Onedrive«, diverse WebDav-Zugänge u.v.a.) zuzugreifen. Gelingt es, diese Online-Speicher beim Einloggen in einen Linux-Rechner automatisch zu mounten, ergeben sich viele bequeme Möglichkeiten, eigene Dateien zu sichern oder auf sie von anderen Orten aus zuzugreifen. Man kann den gesamten Online-Speicher oder Teile davon von »Rclone« verschlüsseln lassen, womit man auch sensible Daten auf wenig verlässlichen Speicherorten unterbringen kann. Hervorzuheben ist, dass die Dokumentation von »Rclone« außergewöhnlich gut verständlich geschrieben ist. Auch kann man die Konfiguration sehr einfach durchführen.

Im Folgenden wird beschrieben, wie man den Zugriff auf ausgewählte Online-Speicher einrichtet. Es wird dabei von Möglichkeiten des Linux-Dienstes »systemd« Gebrauch gemacht. »Rclone« ist unter »openSUSE« im Standard-Repositorium enthalten. Für andere Linux-Dist
