@asaio87 @bookingcom Should be covered, trip cancellation because of bad weather. I have some travel insurance included with different card providers but all the time I get a travel insurance with options depending on my needs.

@bruzli @bookingcom Maybe revolut ? I have the metal plan but technically I haven’t even leave home.

Two months ago or so, I had one of the bad experiences with @bookingcom My wife and I had planned to spend a few days in London, just the two of us, no kids left the kids with the grandparents I won't mention the name of the hotel, but it was a very nice boutique hotel, with brick walls, where Winston Churchill had one of his D-Day meetings hotel was 200 pounds a night or something like that very responsive on private messaging, that was prior On the day of the flight, we had massive snowfalls in Bucharest which prevented us from even getting to the airport, not to mention that no flights were departing the whole day The hotel charged us for the first night, of course we emailed them countless times, and showed them the news, the fact that no flights were departing and present the whole situation proposed to them to get "store credit" so we can use the money for a later date, we were really interested in staying there not even a reply nothing they just took the money I left a bad review saying I didnt stay in the hotel but explained the situation, and the fact that they didnt even reply anymore after they got paid, approved 3 weeks later, Booking removes the review btw wizzair refunded 100% of the money for the flight and we didnt even get to the airport We are never going to that hotel ever again ps: got inspired to share this because of another post I saw here about airbnb experience

500€/month, a brand new Toyota CHR, at this price buying a car is not worth it. Gracias RecordGO Alicante. For 3 months will be friends.

@driesvints You're locked to their DNS. One specific issue - in Spain during La liga games CloudFlare is blocked with some providers 😀

Wow Cloudflare prices are actually much better than Namecheap. I'm probably moving all my domains over soon 👀

@asaio87 Some EU countries have electronic invoicing, so when a supplier bills you it appears in your ERP/accountancy app. But this works only for your country. Would be interesting something EU level... Most of my suppliers are EU registered at least.

In Europe especially if you have a company and spend money , you will have to get the invoices each month from various providers. That’s the activity that I would want to skip each months end when that email comes from my accountant. After that email is the one where they give you the bills to pay for the taxes. That’s painful too.

@ausrobdev Apple store comission seems low now 😀

Envato (themeforest) just increased its marketplace commissions to 50% due to “challenging market conditions”

Wasabi also increasing pricing, from $6.99 to $7.99/TB. They're lucky that currently hetzner dedicated went up also.

I stayed for a few months in Costa Blanca,visiting a lot of places from Valencia down to Cartagena. For us Alicante and Valencia seemed too crowded, so we settled in the middle, small city on the coast called Denia. We wanted to have people during the winter, to have services/hospital... In the 2 developments where we bought most foreigners are Dutch, but still have a lot of Spanish neighbours, some living full time, some are from Madrid, or Valencia and only use it during summer.

Italy and Spain are very hot right now. - Tuscany, Umbria, Puglia, Lombardy and Liguria in Italy - Valencia, Alicante, Marbella and the Barcelona area in Spain Portugal is there too, generally pricier on entry. France from what I'm seeing is mostly Côte d'Azur and Provence. Where are you looking? Or somewhere else entirely? Whichever country gets the most replies, I'll focus on it this week and share properties, insights etc.

@milanm_ For what services I use I get support via email or inapp. Bank/internet/water/mobile/electricity. I still get spam comercial calls, usually I just tell them - hablas inglés? And they hangup 😀

It's unbeliveable how everything in Spain is still done via phone calls. We moved apartments, to change contract for gas, electricity, internet, you need to call them. Or they will call you. And it has to be you, personally, not someone else (who speaks better Spanish than you). For look at this offer from Orange - you can not even click to see detailed conditions (like, is there a penalty if you leave earlier, what happens if you want to continue, which Netflix is included, etc). You can only choose one option - Te llamamos. But GRATIS. And then, when they call you, and you agree, they are going to read the conditions to you, then you need to dictate your information, name, last name, address, bank account, ... unbeliveable waste of time. I remember it took something like 25 minutes to finish all of this. And then, the other providers of services will call you regularly to offer 'better conditions'. 😱

@Ionut31363126 @ioanatrades What's stopping you to move in other country?

@ioanatrades Nu te intoarce, e o tara de kkt 🤝. Noi, cei din ro, nu stim cum sa facem sa plecam d aici.

I was born in a small village in Romania. At 14, I moved to the nearest city for high school and university. After graduating, I moved to Norway. Lived there for 9 years. In 2024, I decided to travel for a year in Asia (visited 8 countries), with the plan to move back to Romania after. In 2025 I came back from Asia. But not to Romania. Back to Norway. Still here now 😂 But I miss to travel.

@razvanmuntian I don't mind paying taxes if I see them used for things we benefit. Good that we can choose where we pay taxes. If more of us would switch countries based on taxes we pay and we get for them the politicians would be more carefull with what they offer.

that moment when you pay taxes 😣

In Budapest, boarded a public transport bus to airport, when I scanned the qr code, displayed Bus Full, no ideea why, half of the seats were empty. How do they check getting off? You only scan getting on. Anyway it validated the ticket.

@natmiletic the saas it's already done, so Claude it's not needed anymore :). Seeing how open source models grow soon probably we'll be able to host localy or rent infrastructure, run an open source model.

"I vibe coded a SaaS to save $20 a month" Cool, but what happens when Claude goes up to $500 a month?

@hispanicnomad No idea how is in the big cities, but on the Costa Blanca coast, still feels the same, at least in the small cities. Affordability is subjective.

The only thing that doesn't change... is that everything changes I grew up in Spain 🇪🇸 in the 90s It was genuinely one of the best places in the world to grow up ✅ Good weather ✅ Strong culture ✅ Safe streets ✅ Affordable life ✅ People who actually knew how to enjoy themselves I loved it Then I left... And I never went back to live there

@orcdev Still using but we remained at ci3.

anyone remember codeigniter?

@catalinmpit You need to pay people for jobs even if you can do it. Never thought I'll pay people to handle the garden 😀

Even since moving to the new house, I don't have any time for side projects and content creation. It's just constant work in and around the house. Does it ever stop? 😃 Now imagine a farm where you have animals as well.

I have a few dedicated with them for ages but will convert them all to cloud. More flexible. Last Sunday I had 2 hours of downtime, one server was dead, they offered to put the disks in a new server, but after boot the network was not working, got a remote console attached, was a gateway issue.

I'm looking at Hetzner dedicated servers and honestly, $40 a month for a cold site isn't that bad. I'm thinking a SDN driven setup with a Wireguard route back home should do the trick. It's just enough for a couple of FreeIPA replicas and failover machines.

@MattieTK @Cloudflare If it will have a real visual builder comparable with elementor and the rest could have traction

It's my first @Cloudflare blog, and it's a big one. We're rebuilding WordPress as if it were built today. It's end to end TypeScript, works as an Astro plugin, and has secure plugin execution in dynamic workers. It's called EmDash, try it now ⤵️ blog.cloudflare.com/emdash-wordpre…

@razvanmuntian @eddiejaoude OpenClaw can be our pet

I think of building a tamagotchi like app basically it's a small little friend that you have to feed, and to ensure it had enough sleep 😂 but, besides a regular one, I think of adding the community aspect: someone else can send you gifts and notifications through it (like birthday gifts and messages)

I think I have an app idea have you played tamagotchi before?

@asiergmorato On windows was easy, had to install an certificate, but before I had a visit to Suma(local tax), they issued me a paper with instructions :)

Tried to register to use the Spanish digital ID on my phone today. Step 1: Go my Mac. Step 2: Install Firefox (Safari/Chrome doesn't work). Step 3: Download an unsigned driver. Step 4: Override macOS security warnings. Step 5: Manually load a cryptographic module. Step 6: Import a root certificate. Step 7: Type a Unix file path. This is the official process. In 2026. Obviously I, a programer with Claude Code, had to give up and go to the local police station.
