  • Walking up a mountain to start then back down is 1/2 as hard as walking in to a valley and then climbing out even if total distance and elevation are the same. Relationships have been destroyed over such mistakes.

    If you are going alone or small group. Tell people when/where you are going how long you expect to be gone what trails you expect to take and make sure you call them to report youre ok when done.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay 120k$ within 24h
  • Yes I read the whole thing. This is large company A being mad at company B for cutting off their way below market rate service and company B being a dick about the situation. I did some more digging and 4m monthly users seem to be around 1/3 of Fanduel (Flutter entertainment). This guy is probably working for a company with over $1b revenue per year. Any company that relies on their website for all of their business should have had contracts in place with CF to ensure they were fully within the ToS or contingencies in place to pivot off of CF should CF decide you aren't in compliance.

    CF said their account was flagged for domain rotation activities which is against the ToS. "This also means that if a country DNS-blocks our main domain, a secondary domain may still be available. This could arguably be seen as a violation of the Cloudflare TOS, as they wrote above.". They had 2 weeks to stop doing that or upgrade to the enterprise account. Instead they didn't do that and as soon as they said they said they were looking at alternatives, CF stopped giving them grace on the ToS violation in the most malicious compliance way possible.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay 120k$ within 24h
  • From the post: I'm a SysOps engineer at a fairly large online casino. We have around 4 million monthly active users. We had been happy Cloudflare customers since 2018 on the "Business" plan which has some neat features and costs $250/month for "unlimited" traffic.

    This seems a bit like abuse of the business plan not cloudflare bs. They are using the cdn for 4m users for $250 a month.

  • Phone plan research help?
  • As someone who A/B tested mint and T-Mobile. They are virtually the same (mint is owned by T-Mobile) but in the middle of no where Kansas T-Mobile had full data but mint only had voice/text. I'm 98% sure that's because it was a dead zone for T-Mobile so you defaulted to roaming on a locally owned tower. So keep that in mind if you travel a lot to sparsely populated areas.

    We decided to stick with T-Mobile in the end just because both the W and I got big pay bumps but if we hadn't I would have strongly considered switching.

  • Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
  • I'm going to estimate 99% of recipes in the US don't give weights for those. It will say one large onion or 3 medium zucchini. There are a few places (serious eats) that tend to give weights but it's extremely rare. If you're lucky you'll get volumes but weights are so rare.

  • What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine?
  • Look into ozone generators or ozium air fresheners. Ozone generators sanitize without heat and help reduce odors but might be expensive and take a long time to be effective (hours to days). Ozium air fresheners absorb the odor and they got the gasoline smell out of my car, no idea how they work but you just leave them in your car.

  • New $20 minimum wage for fast food workers in California set to start Monday, April 1st
  • While the net take home might be the same, those people are getting more hours to do other things. I didn't do an exhaustive search but it seems like before this the minimum wage was $16 an hour. They could be seeing as much as a 25% increase in wage which means they get the same paycheck in 20% less time. That can enable people to spend less on child care, pick up other shifts, make better/less expensive meals, or just enjoy their free time. So pay might be the same but there is still a net benefit.
