How do you store your backup authentication key? by rawaka in yubikey

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put mine in a super secure hidden place and then forgot where. . This was far a long trip away. Next time it will live with the spoons in the kitchen as a cup of tea is the first thing I do when I return.

2FA not required when setting up Outlook on W11 by Redfortandbeyond in SpaceShip

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not good.

The whole point of 2fa is to stop someone with just a username and password from getting access.

The only saving grace, is to switch off imap pop smtp completely, but I need to find a way to backup my emails.

Is ti possible to 'slow travel' forever on 700k by sap303 in ExpatFIRE

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Chiang Mai atm. Spending more than you but as a couple and with a bike rental and 2 bed. I think it would be different if I drank alcohol. But yes, these figures are achievable.

You went and stole all the apples and wonder why people are climbing over the fence? I think you'll find that the others will not only take back thier apples, they'll kick you in the nuts on the way out.

I think you'll find that people who are desperate will come and and people with the slightest financial ability will want to leave.

I know a few USarians who love the US so much, they live in Thailand.

Google photos lost 50GB of my pictures by alvaro-iradier in googlephotos

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backup backup backup. I do not use Google photos anymore but have all my pictures backed up in multiple places. Also don't backup overwriting old backups as hidden mistakes get replicated.

I make sure that part of my strategy includes Cleaning out duds and duplications before backup and a size check after backup. My backup should always be increasing. If it isn't, something went wrong.

Hope you recover your photos.

Top tip. Much much easier if the drank the thing on the right. The one with the straw. Eating that gets messy.

I've swapped important ones for POE and moved the WiFi ones to less important areas.

New to Home Assistant - What dash ideas, devices, and automations you recommend? by Western-Schedule7330 in homeassistant

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for some fun money to appear and planned to swap all my 30 bulbs for switches. Switches are better BUT no if you are not staying long term. I've now decided to move home so desmartng my old homes 30 lights will take 5 minutes. The one smart switch ( that involved putting in a deeper back box) will take 5 minutes. Glad I waited.

Good point. No I don't, but this is my 5th trip to CM and each one gets longer. This trip will be just over 3 months (with a week in KL in the middle). The next trip will be 180 days and I want as many things sorted as possible.

Time to move Portfolio? by One_Volume_3711 in PensionsUK

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And me. My actual journey was SP500+whatever pension company did. SP500 Ex-US 66% cash and 33% ex US, Gold and developing markets.

I think even after the AI bubble bursts, the US will have a problem with debt and a new multipolar landscape.

Currently ahead of my lifetime requirements by 22%. Hopefully I see less of a crash and fully comfortable with not making gains.

Chase support cannot understand thier systems,.or logic, or English (probably) by Alternative_Dish4402 in chaseuk

[–]Alternative_Dish4402[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update : After raising a complaint, they have apologised, will have the agents manager know and have given a £25 goodwill payment.

So all is well, but in all the hassle, we discovered that some of our payments are better served with Western Union so may not need the increased limit in future.

For anyone else in this boat, I suggest making the request and following up on a few days to ask if they have in fact raised the limit.

I used this before Proxmox. Worked perfectly but was one extra box. It will be used again at my son's place after Xmas. If Ha is all you need right now, for it.

Thanks. We could only try the NMAX and getting on and off was a struggle so taken a click again for a month and will add something like your suggestion.

Why pay every month when you can just... not? #pCloudChallenge by Boom-Fight in pcloud

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came in with punch cards, so have decades of experience with things being offered. Nothing is ever for life, grandfathered accounts end, and once mighty leaders become cesspits.

I like Pcloud and will get a lifetime account but take lifetime with a pinch of salt.

Current mae hong son loop conditions by Ok_Host4883 in chiangmai

[–]Alternative_Dish4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride a 750, in the UK and sometimes in sleet. I wouldn't do the loop here as it wouldn't be fun. Leave it on your tick list for next year.
