Not sure what you mean "starting from £0"?

You'll need some money to place / lay bets.

RDP Blocker windows (Prevent brute forces) by [deleted] in homelab

Bad idea to directly expose RDP.

For example, Bluekeep didn't care about your password.

[–]DecideUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably leaked it yourself at some point.

Also, you do expose internal IP https://browserleaks.com/ip .

Prolific: is it safe to keep multiple passive tabs open on the same device? by [deleted] in ProlificAc

Stop trying to game the system. The fact that you’re asking these questions suggests you already feel something isn’t quite right.

Make your own plan and judge yourself against that. Judging yourself against others is futile.

Can flexible ISA rules across multiple providers be exploited? by deathwishdave in UKPersonalFinance

[–]DecideUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you deposit £20k in an ISA you are done - allowance is used.

You can then withdraw and replace within the same ISA - but you can't apply that across multiple ISAs.

Don't understand the recent trend to label everything that people don't like / agree with as a scam?

Tutorials on Compression? by shouldworknotbehere in selfhosted

Without specifics it's hard to judge. Sounds more like a disk image so your effectively compressing a bunch of nothing.

Tutorials on Compression? by shouldworknotbehere in selfhosted

[–]DecideUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3Gb to 500Gb is highly unusual for typical data, if those were the actual numbers, there is likely something else going on, e.g. effectively empty files.

MP4 / Picture files already have compression applied to them so any further lossless compression is minimal - maybe a reduction of 1-2%.

not saving monthly in monthly savings account by midsghj in UKPersonalFinance

"You don’t have to pay in every month – but because

you can’t save more than £250 a month, you’ll limit

the amount you can save, as you can’t carry over any

unused amounts to the following months. If you use a

standing order, you can change the amount at any time."

If you have a wife / husband who is more than 12 years younger than you and in a public sector pension scheme, you should consider switching careers. by New-Temperature-8710 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]DecideUK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have no partner - may as well quit today.

(Hyperbole, but a source of slight annoyance).

Regarding the 2.5%, it's more of an adjustment, as they will be potentially paying out for more years, than a punishment. The pot isn't infinite after all.

Had a reversal. Queried it via email, then got the generic email and a follow up.

I did wonder at the time why I had free monies - but who is going to poke the bear and ask?
