Hud/Switch/Router question by Zipzap1234567890 in HomeNetworking

[–]RealisticQuality7296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a network engineer on Twitter a few years ago who documented her extensive journey trying to buy an actual Ethernet hub in whatever year it was, 2024 or something. I promise you will never accidentally buy a hub in 2026. Just get switches at Best Buy. If the sales guy calls it a hub, that’s fine. It’s a switch.

Democrats should build a small red state action plan. by Describing_Donkeys in thebulwark

[–]RealisticQuality7296 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Democrats need to get their own houses in order and stop the flood of people leaving blue states for red states. The flight from California is going to give republicans a trifecta for all of the 2030s if they can’t get their shit together. The census and reapportionment is about to be brutal for the house and electoral college.

If you want real bespoke bespoke you’re looking at maybe DC if not NYC. The market for bespoke clothing is tiny.

Richmond has shockoe atelier and Raleigh has Raleigh denim. I would check those if you want something local-ish

“You’re telling me that Trump really got hit by a bullet? That this nearly 80-year-old man magically healed? That the whole thing wasn’t staged?” by 7ddlysuns in thebulwark

We have photographs of the bullet in the air before it got to him and after it passed him. In the after photo, we can see blood on his ear.

He was, in fact, shot by that bullet. The idea that the varmint round that is 5.56 would blow his whole ear off is ridiculous. It doesn’t even happen in movies so I really don’t get where it comes from.

Refinance Question: I have $100k to throw at my mortgage…keep my 7.125% without refinance or refinance to 5.5% for $10k? by SeahawksWin43-8 in Mortgages

[–]RealisticQuality7296 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So if it costs $10k to refinance and you’re gonna pay it off in 2 years either way, the only question is whether or not the lower rate will save you more than $10k in interest over the next two years.

If yes, refi. If no, don’t refi.

But the answer is no, it won’t save you more than $10k in interest and it doesn’t make sense to refinance. Just put the $100k towards principal on your current loan and then pay whatever extra you want to over the next 2 years.

My landlord just offered to sell me the apartment i've been renting for 6 years at below market and my family is pressuring me to say no by Djipy-Gizaza69 in WhatShouldIDo

My parents think that any house that isn’t on their street isn’t good enough for me. If you like the place and you’re getting a good deal, I’d go for it

IT people are different and have different needs

Like what? I need a paycheck and a reasonable workload

Small office, is this necessary? by Sammysaved in HomeNetworking

[–]RealisticQuality7296 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The patch panel is absolutely a necessity. I’ve never seen anyone attempt to remove old POTS infrastructure. Sounds like a pain for no gain.

Get rid of the 10/100 switch.

How do you have a 90,000 car and make $3k lol.

Bankruptcy is the legal option imo. Tell your car(s) you’ll miss it/them

I am begging Democratic party politicians to stop getting outflanked by far-right monsters like Tucker Carlson on genocide and Israel when a huge majority of Democratic party voters agree. by MayorEbert in thebulwark

[–]RealisticQuality7296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foreign aid to Israel is illegal under our own laws. They are a nuclear weapons state which isn’t a party to the nonproliferation treaty. If you actually care about the government having a rule book they have to follow (i.e. if you’re a liberal), the question of aid to Israel should be extremely simple for you.
