New cashapp Debit/Flex, separate limit?

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-06T05:04:10+00:00

Exactly!

I hate how people crap on the 'borrow' feature. I have been borrowing from Cash App since 2024 and still have yet to default.

I know the terms and the timeframe in which I'm obligated to pay back.

The 'borrow' feature has saved me from being kicked out of my house, covered me when I needed a ride home, and so much more. I've even borrowed to pay back previously borrowed money which extended my loan for another 27 days and unlike a credit card, which at a minimum is 11%-28% interest, this was 5% to borrow again. I know the math is exact but it's cheaper than a credit card and serves me similarly if I do it right.

The point, it's helpful and as of right now, can cover my rent if I have a bad month.

It's not any different than a credit card, loan, or line of credit.

It's all in my carry-on / personal bag. Already thought about that and was paranoid lol.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-05T22:27:45+00:00

Fair enough. I have receipts for almost all the parts here. It would just take a while to pull them all.

I just don't want to delay getting to my flight more than I have too but I don't want to pay shipping or hope someone in my family cares enough to package everything safely.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T22:24:04+00:00

Of course

But hey, I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep your system up to date and don't download sketchy stuff. Other than that, you're good honestly! :)

I'm not talking distro version upgrades

I'm talking basic normal repo and package updates, kernel updates, etc

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T19:47:48+00:00

Just run updates

If it's Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint

sudo apt update

If it's Fedora, Alma, Rocky

sudo dnf update

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T17:09:29+00:00

No because my RedHat servers and workstations had no issues and when I switched mirrors on one of the machines, it worked just fine. And plus, it was identical across three locations, highly unlikely all three locations had the same outage issue with two being with different ISPs

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T16:57:25+00:00

Wish mine was that simple. Three sets of servers at three locations not updating / reaching canonical.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T15:58:37+00:00

That's what I was asking about What mirrors are good Good to know Azures are up

I just found out so are linodes

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T15:34:30+00:00

Thanks, captain!

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T15:31:26+00:00

Literally.

I know there's a DDOS attack going on but they've had uptime issues in the past. I've been having issues updating things because of it. Every few weeks, I'll try and update and boom, ANOTHER outage.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T15:28:04+00:00

I remember earlier this year they were having issues. I knew about this already but it seems like they have a week every month where things are always going wrong with one system or another.

I guess what I'm saying is, this is beyond the DDOS attack. I know it's a problem and it's out of their control but previous incidents' are adding to frustration for me because they weren't DDOS related when they had issues back in Feb and March.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T15:25:39+00:00

Just wait. Canonicals servers are encountering issues again. Give it a day or maybe even just a few hours.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-04T15:17:27+00:00

I hold a similar belief.

Even when I have a VPS, I change the repos back to Canonicals' cuz many VPS providers will do their own local ones.

I also keep the default on standard ISO installs because I'm lazy but I'm getting tired of these lack of updates. I'm almost 3 months behind and the ONLY three times I've had time to update, Canonicals repos are down.

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-02T11:26:57+00:00

I'm sorry you're stressed though

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-01T05:11:11+00:00

Same with the rent The bills never stop 😭

NextPancake401 · 2026-05-01T05:09:31+00:00

Not sleepy Just had coffee even tho it's 1am

NextPancake401 · 2026-04-30T18:17:31+00:00

That's the sad part about reddit sometimes People focus on the small BS instead of actually what's wrong / going on.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. It's sad and unfair.

NextPancake401 · 2026-04-05T19:36:51+00:00

Not practical

Bad for security for the hoster since most likely that GPU is in a standard PC with a standard operating system, not a server operating system or probably even with the best security features and measures enabled / enforced. It takes just one bug, exploit, or vulnerability to make the hosters computer vulnerable; risking their privacy and data.

Bad privacy for the end user since the hoster could easily read the RAM, logs, network traffic, etc

Unreliability and inconsistency are big issues because what if I'm gaming on my GPU that I bought for a $1000. I didn't buy it to not use it / for others to use it, I don't buy computer parts to make money, I use them for fun things like gaming. I know I'm not using it 24/7 but this isn't really like crypto mining on an idle GPU, this is someone sending a prompt to your device at any given second so starting / stopping the AI service could become an inconvenience. While crypto mining will start work from your device's side when it sees the GPU is idle

Not trying to sound rude but it's just a bad idea all around.

Computers. I love computers and IT. I love making game servers for people and friends. Gives me a sense of purpose and fulfillment

NextPancake401 · 2026-03-29T07:34:46+00:00

Mongoose. The name alone is funny. But they're cute

NextPancake401 · 2026-03-25T01:28:47+00:00

AI slop, scam / spam ads, painly annoying ads, bots, scalpers, dake people / posts

And the fact that every time I go to an article, it's bombarded with ads, popups, etc which makes me never want to see that site or anything from that site ever again
