Oh, we know each other.
If you're not big enough to do IOSS, then the recipient pays VAT when they receive their item.
I would love the ability to ship a crate of books to EU and have them distributed, but it's not gonna happen any time soon. I work in too-small quantities.

Goods coming into EU from UK (except NI) are treated the same as coming from elsewhere - i.e. subject to import VAT and customs inspection. (I don’t know if you’re already set up for prepaid import VAT.)

one thing we’ve been learning since we started selling print zines a few years ago is that there are a bunch of EU regulations/taxes and trying to navigate them as a tiny business outside the EU is very confusing. we've made a lot of progress but it takes a lot of our time.
been looking into working with a warehouse in the UK (or maybe EU if we can find one) to be able to ship zines to the EU/UK more easily. it's not clear if having another fulfillment center would make EU shipping easier or harder to manage though

what's involved in getting a "modern" terminal setup? https://jvns.ca/blog/2025/01/11/getting-a-modern-terminal-setup/

i'm thinking of writing an "implement a toy version of HTTP in a weekend” guide, similar to https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com/, but not sure what would be fun to include
thinking of:
1. sending a simple HTTP GET or POST request over a TCP socket
2. some very very basic header/status code parsing
what would you be interested in seeing in there, if you're curious to learn more about HTTP? As usual the goal is just to write a fun throwaway implementation, not something resilient
nostr:npub1dsw4a6fsqy9wj9r2e0hhg9cum6wnvdqqwr6997wdzpu7fzjtgyuqx67s3y you can sign up for https://wizardzines.com/zine-announcements/ to get an email when it's out, in a week!
what would you call a git commit that can no longer be reached from any branch or reference (for example because you ran `git commit --amend` or `git rebase`), but that you can still get to from `git reflog`?
I've considered "orphan", "dangling", and "unreachable" but none of these seem right:
- orphan has another meaning in git
- dangling only refers to the "tip" commits
- "unreachable" means that you can't reach it at all

(from wikipedia)
nostr:npub1x09n84dxhuynsr7kl5gkn8j7qmj6mgl7sg65uj4rycr29skgqh9q92jlxu i actually did post it to mastodon, it was just a while ago https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/111920508523737165
nostr:npub1356lwqhtlclkq0ua7fhgetrdsnfqy99w4e8un5gt3d0kkhudkr2sn6exc2 i think it's really incredible how well DNS has held up considering that it was designed in 1983
