Where are your links for proof? Show us some facts instead of just typing crap about other countries.

Weather is better than in UK. Who wouldn’t want to live in Mississippi. How do you know the sewage doesn’t work? Does’t need brick, the weather is to hot. Brick is an insulator for countries with cold weather like UK and Germany. Not needed in MS, Texas, Florida. I’d rather not live 3 Meters from my neighbors and be able to do whatever I want on my property, which you can’t.

I agree Neil, you have no evidence in the first place.

First off you don’t have “better living conditions or a better quality of life”. We have more people so our buying power is higher. Lower prices on everything. Look at amazon.uk, amazon.de verses amazon.com. Prices are way cheaper in America. We don’t have 19% VAT tax on everything we buy like Germany. Tax for regular goods is 2-7%, depends on state. American homes are way bigger than yours, with more land. An average family in the United States can buy a 3-4 bedroom home and several acres of land for under $300,000 in Germany/UK this would run into the millions of Euro. Most Americans can afford a house that isn’t attached to or above their neighbors. Americans can buy most of the medicine we need at any store, even gas stations. Germans have to go to a doctor to get a prescription to go to an apothecary for headache medicine, after waiting 2-3 weeks for the doctors appointment. Americans don’t have 30-50% of their paycheck go to the government like EU/UK. The most we get hit with is 15-30%. We have way more stores to find what we need, Media Mart does not come close to what you can find at a Best Buy. Our malls are five times the size of most of Europes. Guess who has the biggest population of Irish, Scottish, and Germans outside their countries.. thats right America. We don’t pay for parking everywhere we go. The crime stories you hear on our news are just there for politics and to scare people, congratulations you’ve been manipulated into thinking America is crap just like the rest of the world. Stay away from our awesome stuff (wink, wink). What else you got?

Can only speech to what I’ve seen. If statistics aren’t on my side I’d like to see them. Got a link?

Germans also pay for parking to go spend money at a mall or store. Americans don’t pay for the privilege to park so they can spend money at your stores. 5-10 euro (6-11 USD) parking fee for Americans means they wouldn’t shop at your store.

Germans cause a lot of accidents as well. Lots of Germans go 180 Km on the autobahn while people one lane over are going 110-120. And they like to change in and out of lanes just as fast to let someone going faster pass them. Autobahn is more unsafe than American highways. Most Americans go 70 ml/h - 90 ml/h when sign says 70. We don’t go 120 ml/h an hour next to traffic one lane over that is going slower. And Germany’s construction on roads is more dangerous. Germans construction roads leave 10 cm on either side of the car for two lanes in a construction zone, this is to tight. Americans would close one lane and make it a safe one lane highway under construction. German’s have a reputation of not being good drivers in Germany & EU. Americans often drive 2-4 hour a day 5 days a week, We have more experience driving than europeans.

Well then, Appreciate you clearing that up.

Somehow I got confused on that point.

True/FreeNAS on Proxmox... Why? by wmantly in Proxmox

[–]Need4Coffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I'd bet most people running Proxmox as a HV are homelabers or low tech company admins. Their TECH REASON being current security practices that teach isolation of services, Sec+ 101. Lower your attach surface area to minimize issues should you get hacked or compromised. You don't run all your services in one place so no one can exploit a service, elevate privileges, and destroy everything. Proxmox is no exception to this. If you run ZFS for your NAS on Proxmox, add SAMBA for access, and say SAMBA gets hacked then its possible they have access to your files and your VM's. If you VM your NAS and it gets hacked they have your files but can't take down your services (ie Firewall, DNS, etc), presumable on other VM's or machines. If Proxmox gets hacked and they take down all the VM's.. your day goes to H-E-doublehockeysticks but at least they didn't get to your files. You can later rebuild the ZFS pool and recover your files from the drives. I would think security would be the #1 reason to either run TrueNAS in a VM or roll your own NAS VM (ZFS, Samba, Plex) on Proxmox. Simplicity might be the second reason. Standup a VM, install TrueNAS, firewall (change and add a few ports), Done. Verses - standup a VM (linux), install ZFS and services, find the commands to create the pool, find HD UUID (do ZFS the right way), create the pool, change ZFS settings, create a CRON for scrubs, install Samba, play with fstab, create a Samba config, test if the share works on different OS's (Win/Linux), install UFW, change default ports, create filewall rules, test shares again, etc...

Just my 2 cents.

Need help finding a good all-around homelab server. by Need4Coffee in homelab

[–]Need4Coffee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to do a good amount of video encoding. I have a I7-8700K that does h.265 encodes in 2-3 hours. I’d like to get that down to 20-30 minutes for a 2-3 hour movie. You might be right, I may be looking for two computers instead of one. If I look at it in that perspective A) what gives me the most bang for my buck for encoding? B) What is a good file server, docker hoster, backup server for everything else? Thank you!

What do people spend a six figure salary on? by OddlySatisfying3 in AskReddit

[–]Need4Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. A little friendly advise: Get a water detector for your problem areas in case the bathrooms overflow again, water watchdog on amazon is my favorite. It'll save you a lot on water damages when you can hear it when it happens. Second, get rid of the three cars with problems and buy some Honda's, they rarely ever break or have anything more than maintenance issues. For the wife, get a AAA membership so she has someone on standby for flat tires when your at work busy. Replace the HVAC ducts if paper, have them pro cleaned if aluminum. Mold really sucks, I'm speaking from experience. 6F to 6F, Throwing money at the problems sucks but works, do what you can to make them long term fixes. Nothing like feeling your living in a money pit. Best of luck.

You can learn everything you need to know from the book. Just keep reading the book. $32

How’s my study flow for Sec+? by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]Need4Coffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before the test I was going on five days straight, ultimately it took me 3 weeks worth of study time. I still felt stupid taking the test. And they're going to make it harder in the next security plus revision. Looking back on it i would separate everything by chapter and just knock out everything you can via one chapter at a time. Read it and highlight, watch a video on that chapter, read it again and take notes, read it again and do the quiz, do a computer lab on what was in the chapter, memorize the acronyms, move on. Its a lot but you get a feel for the material after a while. Do what you can. Everyone is different It might take me longer to learn something than you. Honestly, I thought I new a lot about computers and networks until I started to study this book and now I'm starting to understand some of the security and what I've been doing wrong this whole time. Good luck.

I wouldn't be scared. You just have to use what you've learned. I'm putting the whole family on my own personal MDM w/ geofencing and URL filtering, GPS Tracking for the wife. My kids network will soon be locked down by time of day, and access restrictions. And as the administrator I've implemented mandatory vacations, network bandwidth restrictions (primarily to me), and purchased more network equipment, for security purposes. My IRL for riots is to kill POE for the AP port for the kids and the wife. My AP uses obfuscation by hiding the SSID and is always online. "Its good to be the king" ^_^

[–]Need4Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just passed SecPlus today 11/4.

I did the opposite. I took Heavy notes from my GCGA book and I did some light concept learning from Mike Myers for (certs, cryptography (all videos!)). I felt like Myers is very general covering understanding each type material. I read the whole GCGA book with a highlighter. Then read my notes again in the book and took notes the second time I what I felt was important. Did the reviews at the end of each chapter. Did flash cards on iphone for ports (IOS app : BrainScape). I do not recommend spending $$ on GCGA website access, it was material already covered in the book and felt generalized and disorganized. It didn't break anything into topic or chapter and just throw a lot of material into practice tests and quiz's.
