This is just wrong: they support both SEPA and international bank transfers through IBAN.

[manuel_w → m0nhawk]

Isn't IBAN just the account identifier SEPA uses?

(The other identifier necessary to make SEPA transfers being the BIC = bank id.)

[arianvanp → manuel_w]

You can make SWIFT transactions to IBAN numbers. no problem whatsoever.

[jwildeboer → manuel_w]

For donations they also offer liberapay so you can use stripe and PayPal.

For membership fees you can also use direct bank transfer.

[p_l → manuel_w]

SEPA is essentially just a specific subset service set of a SWIFT international bank transfer. Or in other words, the interface of SEPA is a subset of parameters in SWIFT transfer. And it mandated IBAN numbers on stragglers in EU.

[hedwall → manuel_w]

IBAN is the international bank number.

[jwildeboer → hedwall]

(no, that’s the BIC (Bank Identifier Code AKA SWIFT).

IBAN is the International Bank Account Number.

[m0nhawk]

I wonder how much any personality changes can be attributed to the unconscious (and even conscious) change of personality.

After all, people after major life-altering have sometimes drastic change in personalities.

That's an interesting one, I wonder if they have self-baked jobs or they had misconfigured `unattended-upgrades`.

In both cases randomly upgrading production environment to major version is something that should be done with a lot of extra care and testing.

On: Scrollbars are becoming a problem

[m0nhawk]

I find `overflow: scroll` is the worst (fair, it has it's uses), but I'm perplexed by seeing sites that has scrollbars on Windows when content absolutely perfectly fits on the screen.

Regularly do I visit sites that's infested with scrollbars, because every second element have this set - but it looks good on macOS, right?

On: Insomnia REST client now requires an account

[m0nhawk]

I found that there are two possible answers:

* good old tools - curl, Emacs plugins (restclient.el is pretty nice), Vim plugins;

* and Postman/Insomnia alternatives - restfox.dev, hoppscotch.io and httpie.io (my personal preference so far) and I found this group to be the most volatile (I personally has moved from Postman to Insomnia).
