My Stripe Tax Story

I've been debating for weeks whether or not I was going to write any of this down. I'm a dad with two kids and a house to take care of and a business to run. Adding story-telling like this to my plate is exhausting.

Until yesterday, I had decided to forget about the whole thing, until I received the email that broke the camels back, as it were.

The best way I can describe why I'm writing this email is for the same reason why you might spend two hours dealing with an uncooperative mobile phone carrier to get them to remove that $5 charge on your bill that shouldn't be there.

How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21

In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}
