I've been a fan of Continue? for over a decade. Just a weekly let's play series that's kept the spirit of the early 2010 gaming YouTube alive.

Funny part is the tax lady who refused to do their taxes was a confirmation sponsor of one of his grandkids.

There's a legitimate pizza place around me that's been around for ~50 years. My mom went to school with the owners children and when she was in high school their dad had a small stint in jail for tax evasion and unregistered and hot guns. Apparently he was importing a lot of guns from Italy and one day a shipment got caught. About 10 years ago, my mom became friends with someone who was hired to do their taxes. She didn't give any details, but she told us the numbers really didn't add up and she had to drop them as a client their first year due to ethical reasons.

The thing is the pizza is really good and kind of an institution in my town. I wouldn't say it is strictly a front, but money does move through it. The family also owns a lot of small strip malls in the tri county area and some historical properties as well.

Oh and one of the sons married one of their 2nd/3rd cousins from Italy in the 90s. The rumor was it was just to help her get citizenship but they are still married to this day and it's kinda weird.

 

I'm looking to host my own website and mess around with some services but my current home server is already pushed to the max. Planning on getting some thin clients for proxmox when I have some more money, but for now I wanted to mess around on Oracles free tier to test some stuff. I heard they will randomly delete accounts / free cloud vps and was wondering if there was a way to mitigate this. Some post I've seen seems to be tied to not having a CC on file with them so after 30 days or so when it "charges" your account and there is no payment option, the vps will get deleted. Does anyone have experience dealing with this? I wouldn't mind adding a card to the account as long as I won't wake up to a huge bill one day because I went over the limit.

 

Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?

Out of all the things to be so upset it with that's a strange one. Why not just move on and fap to your fetish instead of chasing someone around yelling about it. I can get being vigilant about calling out hateful stuff, but to track someone because of the porn you watch is just weird.

The best ones for me was when I couldn't find firmware for some older devices anywhere on the internet but some members of Data hoarders would upload it for a short time.

Worst would be getting stalked for a few days due to a disagreement in the comments. I can't even remember what it was about but for a few days everytime I would post this ass hat would just reply and try to keep arguing. It went on for a few days until I blocked them.
