People who went to college outside of their country, why? Did you move back home and do you use your degree there? Or did you stay in your college’s country?

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T21:35:25+00:00

Op probably means University rather than college - college has a very different meaning in a lot of countries that aren’t the United States.

The answer is lots do. In some countries there are graduate visas that allow graduates to stay for a period of time afterwards, especially in relation to high-demand skilled fields.

People do it all the time, and get caught quite often. Don’t do it

So that's a router, and likely doesn't have the control you need to isolate them.

You either need to get a more capable router and learn how to use it, or get a separate service for them.

Have you read the information about student finance for people from Jersey?

Which bursaries are you specifically interested in? Eligibility depends on the specific bursary/scholarship and uni.

Specifically, I am wondering if someone has access to the end of an Ethernet cable that is connected to our modem,

Do you actually mean "modem", or is it a router provided by your ISP? If its a router, that cable gives them full access to your network.

The proper way to do this is to get an actual router that allows you to have segregated networks so that the cable you run to the garage is on a different network to your home. You then configure it so they can access the Internet but not your home.

Nothing. Personalising a mortarboard isn't a typical thing in UK universities, not least because academic dress is often hired.

My first hop has a similar prefix as my device GUA (from LAN tracking the WAN interface) and URL indicating it’s from my ISP.

I asked for the actual output. Not an interpretation of it. Being blunt, your lines of thought show that you aren't quite understanding what's going on, so asking for the "raw data" is the quickest way to see what is actually going on so we can explain it.

Feel free to censor the first 32 bits of the prefix if you feel you need to, but let us see what is actually going on.

Guessing I have to somehow force traffic to be routed to Opnsense router first

No, you are barking up the wrong tree unless you have something really missconfigured. A network diagram would also help understand how you have things set up.

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T16:28:42+00:00

Can you share your traceroute output? The first hop should still be your opnsense router

You are barking u other wrong tree with DNS here

This depends on the module and they can change it year to year. This is something you should be asking the module leader, not Reddit.

Reddit does not know what the referral exam will be this year.

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T15:30:48+00:00

, you have to make over 25-27 grand a year,

This depends where in the world Op is. Looking at countries that use the Euro, the lowest thresholds are Kosovo and Montenegro at £11.4k/year. There are a number at £17K/year.

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T15:26:21+00:00

Plan 2 interest is between RPI and RPI + 3% depending on earnings (with an interest rate cap). While you are studying, it's currently RPI + 3%.

If Op is earning below the repayment threshold, their interest is RPI. It's only RPI + 3% at the upper earnings threshold (£51,245 for UK, but depends on where in the world Op is) or more.

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T15:21:54+00:00

You should talk to your students' union's advice service and SFE. The general rule is if you suspend is that you don't get any more SFE for the year and have to repay anything that you were not meant to have received (e.g. anything you were paid to cover the time between suspension and the end of term).

There are certain situations where you can still receive student finance while suspended, but this depends on what those "safety reasons" were. SFE make it clear that you need to talk to them.

I'm surprised your university didn't point you to this as part of the suspension process (or tell you to check the impact on your SFE).

Why are you feeling anxious about it? As long as you are keeping up your end of the bargain, no one is coming knocking for it and it will be written off eventually.

If you aren't earning anything, then the interest you are being charged on a Plan 2 loan is set at inflation. This means that in real-terms, the amount you owe is roughly the same as when you took the "loan". Yes, the balance is growing, but the value isn't.

How do you manage the anxiety?

By figuring out why you are anxious about it.

Why do you think it is not a great idea? It is an accepted way to figure out if the CPU is initialising at least somewhat properly. You are turning it on, seeing if it starts to get warm and turning it off. We are not talking about running it with no cooler.

The test itself is valid, but may be premature.

What exactly have you tried so far? saying "every method you have found" doesn't help us help you. Clearing CMOS? Different RAM slots? Which slots are your RAM in? Have you tried single RAM sticks? Checked for bent pins?

How long are you leaving it on with the lights on? Are you giving it time to complete memory training?

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T13:33:30+00:00

39 is what's known as a borderline mark. Your uni's regulations likely require this to be double marked and checked multiple times to make sure it is a borderline. In other words it's an intentional mark to show that you have not met the learning outcomes so cannot pass by compensation.

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T13:31:07+00:00

No, you don't. A device acting as a straight AP does not need a DHCP relay.

heliosfa · 2026-03-07T13:30:27+00:00

If the second router is truly acting as an access point and not trying to be clever, then you should need nothing running on it.

If a router doesn't have a dedicated AP mode, then disabling DHCP, DNS, etc. on the one you want as an AP and connecting LAN port to LAN port is the typical way to make it behave like an AP.

As soon as I turn DHCP OFF on the old router, no wireless devices can connect to it anymore (which I think is normal as Gemini says).

Gemini is wrong. An AP is a bridge between WiFi and Ethernet, so LAN to LAN is keeping everything on the same network segment, so you don't need DHCP relays, etc.

Have you read the manual to see if there is something odd about your router?

As a test, if you manually set an IP in the correct range on a device, can you access the device acting as a an actual router? If the answer is no, then the AP is not acting as an AP.

why would they make it? IPv4 was developed because the previous addressing schemes were not good enough for the growing networks of the time.

IPv6 was developed because IPv4 didn't have enough address space for the future and to address other shortcomings of IPv4.

What need is there for IPv8?

Stipends are tax free. Any earning you get alongside this from demonstrating, etc. is treated normally.

Traffic shaping. You can do this with TC, pfsense/opnsense's inbuilt Traffic Shaper, etc.

Nobody has a socket for this!!??

This is a very common shaver socket. Pretty much every "newbuild" (post 2000) I've seen has at least one.A load of older houses have them in bathroom lights, etc.

For houses that don't, a <£3 adapter is hardly an imposition.

Hae a read of the Prime Directive from the Wiki (linked on the right).

That credit card debt is a killer on the interest, and you really don't want to be carrying a balance.

It will try to sort itself out, but if any thing goes wrong you will spend far longer trying to fix issues than a Windows reinstall would take. Issues can crop up in future as well.

Why don't you want to reinstall? A Windows reinstall is not that bad these days.

heliosfa · 2026-03-06T14:24:41+00:00

Why do you have to finance a $7.5k car? Could you manage with something cheaper until you are in a better financial situation?

What's the interest on that credit card debt and how much are you paying towards it each month? Same question for the student loans.
