Today I learned that North America has a library that is situated in two countries.
The Haskel Free Library is located directly on the border between Vermonth in the United States, and Quebec in Canada. The library even has a wide black line on the floor of the reading room, marking the Canada-US border.
I think this is a brilliant placement. This way, when Project 2025 is fully implemented, only half the books will get burned.

I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.
In 2024 I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.
In 2023 I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.
Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 40,000 Covid-19 tests per day.
I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely, and I am also willing to consider relocation.
Please check out my CV.

I do not give it out to businesses that also want my phone number. They will just sell that combination of information.
They may get one, but not both. Avoid rewards programs.
When they ask if you are in their rewards program, if you say no, then they will ask if you want to join, you say no.
If they want my PII instead if cash, they are not worthy.
I prefef to reveal phone number, but no email.
When they ask, I just say my email is broken.

1st, Code Berg, is an alternative to GitHub, but located in Germany.
That is where I have been working on a list of digital service providers, outside Us Jurisdiction. It has not been easy. Often you will find "company 1" is located in "France" (random example), but is owned by another company in "Germany" (random example), which is ultimately owned by a company in the United States.
In making my list, I have learned just how much people "simp" for a corporation. It is that tribe mindset folks have. You point out how their own TOS (terms of services) quote either an address in the United States, or quotes a bunch of laws in the United States, and people still want you to list their company because "reasons" (insert random excuse). I am sure, they're happy with their service provider, but the whole point is to come up with a list of service providers, outside Us Jurisdiction (laws).
Here is my list. It is open source and a community effort. codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/Out…

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Such places were once common. I'm old enough to remember. There were private homes that straddled the line, and at least one pub. (With ciggies sold on the end with lower taxes, heh.) I remember having to wake up a border guard in a tiny little hut once, where it wasn't apparent at all there was any border. That village is now filled with ugly concrete barriers.
We used to be very civilized and grown-up about all this. Now we're not, and it makes me very sad.
