I'm just learning about all this. Looks like P2P is what I want. Thanks

 

I wanted to try paying for Mullvad VPN using a private method (Monero). I created a wallet and went to an exchange (Kraken) to buy some XMR, but they want me to enter all my personal details upon registration. How does this make sense? Is there an exchange where I don't have to provide personally identifying information?

I use fish shell only now. Used to only write bash, but I've started writing some fish scripts. I wouldn't try to plan too much WRT shell scripting up front. Just fix your pain points as you go.

I use Calibre and its web server locally. Works great.

Happens with Firefox on Linux too. Very annoying.

Wow, 6 years. What was your injury?

I do the same. Using VPN, proxy, Firefox container, tracker blocking, the whole 9 yards. I haven't seen price change based on location/purchase history. I've been looking for signs of this for a while. Prices do fluctuate quite a bit though. The site might have auto-selected a different "ships from" option for you, depending on how you're logged in.

I followed up with customer support. They said go ahead with the order and they will refund me the amount after. They gave me a $5 credit for my trouble. They said they would escalate this issue to the development team.

 

I only needed one more item to "unlock extra savings up to 15%", so I added an extra item to see what the savings would be. I didn't think the savings matched what was advertised, so I removed an item to see what the difference was (making sure to screenshot before/after this time). Turns out the price of 3 out of 4 items is the same after an extra 5% discount.

But one is ambiguous.

I use emacs, Denote, and markdown-mode to keep a loose Zettlekasten archive of notes.

I use and recommend Free File Fillable Forms. https://www.freefilefillableforms.com It's basically filling out an electronic version of the paper forms, but some fields are auto-calculated.
