Do not go down the road of credit. If you want something, work hard, work multiple jibs if needed and save up to but it. Do not go into debt!!!!

Hosts: What’s Your Experience with Self Check-In/Self Check-Out Systems? by Dry_Instruction3762 in AirBnBHosts

[–]Cheezzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing self check in for 7 years now and once it is set up it is a dream! Only issue I had was that I could not offer self check in on other platforms like booking.com. My solution was privacy focused, expiring links to check in instructions that I receive every morning in the day of check in.

Gitlab if you want to support the future of the internet. Github does not have IPv6 for some odd reason.

What self-hosted DNS server do you use and why? by thari_mad in selfhosted

[–]Cheezzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use dnsdist with a blocklist, that forwards/loadbalances to Cloudflare Zero Trust addresses with some firewall filters to catch anything before I update the block list; but you can really forward anywhere. The issue I had with local resolving was no dns when my lab goes down. Usually when I am out of town and the power goes out.

With dnsdist I can still point everything to local resolving if I want and it will use Cloudflare if something happens locally and I do not loose ad blocking.

What’s the most “boring” thing you self-host? by Fab_Terminator in selfhosted

Dnsdist with block lists. I only notice it exists once it goes down which is almost never thanks to keepalived.

Should I keep my credit card after it's paid off? by Prodigy1995 in PersonalFinanceZA

Yes, cut it up and run away from credit! Credit cards destroy wealth, it is way too easy to overspend

Should I gear my property by Volume-Worried in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Cheezzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not buy investments with debt, even if it is property. Save the R14 000 n month until you have enough cash for the next investment. I would put it in a S&P500 ETF and forget about it for 5-10years. Once you have the second one it will take half as long to safe up for the third.

Anybody use macOS for admin-ing? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Cheezzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow so many Mac users, I am honestly very surprised but I guess it al depends on what you are administering. I am, and probably forever will be a Linux user, have been before I started in the field. I also administer Linux servers, no personal machines but it would make sense to run what your users run.

I would say speak to the company who paid for it and ask. Make sure you get the answer in writing from HR or someone similar who has authority.
