    To start one without ties to your name is more difficult, at least in my state. You’d have to have a registered agent you trust and to file articles of incorporation. Plus get an EIN.

    Even with an EIN, so as far as the federal government is concerned single member LLCs are basically sole proprietorships for tax purposes.

    Unsure about the effect of recent ownership laws; almost certainly bad for privacy at some level.

    Regardless of all that, financial institutions won’t grant credit to entities that don’t have their own income. Normally a history of income, and income not tied to a single member LLC. Been there done that. Yes my LLC has credit cards but at their core they are tied to the financial backing that my personal credit history provided.

    It is possible you could jump through all those hoops and still gain a measure of privacy. There are vastly easier ways, imho.



  • Yes! I hate this!! There seems to be an industry wide practice of never carrying any product consistently.

    I understand that if something had to be put on clearance even in-season that they’re not going to buy more of it. But surely bringing back best sellers would be profitable?

    Or even providing some mechanism for ordering previously-stocked items online? I don’t need to try it on and will order many units/variations because I already know I love it. Seems like an easy way to make money. Low to no returns too.


  • lol sorry about that. Polyester definitely doesn’t have that effect on me and unlike cotton, 100% polyester is pretty much unaffected by wash + dry cycles.

    Cotton wears out stupidly quick in comparison.

    So when buying off I’m interested i don’t even check sizes, I go straight for material. If it’s less than 70% polyester I won’t even consider buying it.

    The apology is because stores do seem to be shifting towards folks like me. I love it.


  • Didn’t really state a position other than ownership, which does have some implications. I am fine with smart TVs but not ok with data collection and ads.

    Either would only be ok if I had opted in, especially be paying a lower price with that tradeoff, but I and everyone else are paying full price, so I am adamantly opposed to it.

    You took it a step further than me, and I applaud your efforts. I hope they are noted by the manufacturers.







  • Airvpn, then use their advanced config to create a 443 tcp tunnel out to a single server. Then use that server’s IP in your OpenVPN config file. Route all traffic including dns inside the tunnel.

    Traffic will look like all other web traffic - encrypted on standard web ports. You won’t even need to do a DNS lookup to start with and airvpn uses generic rDNS so it’s not super easy to figure out from their perspective.




  • U crazy! lxc is incredibly lightweight compared to a vm, I’m often amazed at what it can do with just a few hundred MB of memory.

    Also you can map storage straight from the host and increase allocation instantly, if needed. Snapshotting and replication are faster too.

    I’m always bummed when I’m forced to run a VM, they seem archaic vs PVE CTs. Obviously there are still things VMs are required for, though.




  • Didn’t watch, did you?

    Yes, they reported the first hand experience because they can vouch for it completely. But they also have hundreds of people who contacted them - often with evidence - about Asus being dishonest and deceitful.

    In one of those people. I’m glad the word is spreading. Asus RMA really is that bad, too the degree the company just needs to die.
