| schestowitz[TR2] | "Trump Signs EO renewing $100k H1B fee, and ordering agencies to go after companies that laid off Americans before H1Bs. | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Just dropped yesterday. Trump signed both an executive order and a proclamation renewing the H-1B $100k fee (seperate from the $103k fee DHS is introducing). | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What they actually do: | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Renews the $100,000 fee requirement for certain new H-1B petitions (the one first imposed in 2025) for another year, through September 2027 | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Requires State, Labor, and DHS to coordinate with Commerce, Education, and the SBA when reviewing H-1B petitions and labor condition applications | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Makes agencies factor in whether the employer has laid off (or plans to lay off) similarly situated American workers in the past year | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Gives DOL’s Wage and Hour Division 30 days to start reviewing previously filed labor condition applications for possible enforcement | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This is the kind of move a lot of us have been waiting for. The $100k fee already hammered the big outsourcing firms, and now they’re pairing it with actual scrutiny of layoff history. | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | No more rubber-stamping petitions from companies that just canned a bunch of Americans and then claimed they couldn’t find anyone. This means companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Meta: yeah there's no safe harbor for them anymore. | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Doesn’t shut the program down of course. But practically it sends a really strong message: hire Americans or they'll send the hammer down. | Sep 21 05:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Folks, you can say whatever you want about Trump, but by God if these all go through the courts and pass I will be dancing from the rooftops. I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican or a pink " | Sep 21 05:28 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>In 2016, I removed Google Analytics from this blog to avoid being complicit in feeding the biggest machine for harvesting personal data. Instead, I relied on GoAccess to analyze my server logs. For the past couple of years, the statistics have made no sense, despite my attempts to filter bots: AI scrapers inflate the number of visitors to around 2,000 per day. Eventually, I settled on Go | Sep 21 18:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | atCounter, an open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics platform. I replaced the JavaScript client to filter bots more aggressively and added a CSS fallback. To improve reliability, I implemented a local proxy running on each of the five web servers serving this blog. The rest of this post details how these pieces fit together and how I deploy them on NixOS. ❄️ </p> | Sep 21 18:23 |
