  • Generally if it should be easy to find and you’re reading a shitty article, it can be easily found in believable sources.

    I’m 99.9% certain the article is talking about ex-FBI agent Johnathan Buma. There are many articles about him, but I wasn’t aware of it (been tuning a lot of news out lately, tbh). All details match and he was very recently interviewed by ZDF (significant legit German news organization) for a new investigational documentary about Elon Musk. I posted it in a different comment that has video of some parts of the interview (English with German dubbed over top). There’s also a link to the full documentary. I started watching it but haven’t finished.








  • Doist is very much remote work and there were a lot of stories about them and how they operate during the pandemic because they had been doing it for so long. Global headquarters are in Portugal and CEO lives/works from Italy from what I can tell. They have offices/legal presence in many countries.

    Founder/CEO was born in Bosnia, grew up in Denmark, started todoist during college, used a startup incubator in Chile, later moved headquarters to Portugal, now gives lots of talks about internet entrepreneurship in EU.






  • Do you use a VPN? I’ve noticed a lot of cdn’s have become very hostile to VPNs over the last year. Initially I blamed the VPN but I’m pretty convinced it’s the cdn’s at this point*.

    *This is because I started using a private linode server as a tailscale exit node and boy does the internet hate that IP with a passion. Toggling between using that and my home computer as exit nodes is somewhat fascinating. The web is so rude when I browse from my linode box. So… now I use the linode exit node to let the jerks take themselves to the curb. Anyway images not loading randomly is one of the telltale signs of a jerk website. It even happens when using Google One VPN or Cloudflair’s WARP+ nowadays. Switch them off and use my residential IP exit node and presto it all works again.
