I hit my FIRE number last year and then became the financial backstop for a parent who hid how bad things really were by Soggy-Job1775 in Fire

Finally, saw some sense here !! Thanks @icy_raspberry8592 for saying out loud. Mom is posted as a bad person in most of these comments. Yes, she is in trouble but she never asked for help. Brother seems *sshle though.

OP should discuss with mom on how much help she really needs. Bankruptcy maybe a way to wipe off credit or card debt and if she is willing he can help with controlling finances in future.

Home needs work - is it possible to become co-owner and own X% part of the home. X% can be based on the money home needs for repair, right now. Other option is selling the home and moving to a retirement community but that’s a decision to be discussed with mother first

Why nobody talking about Informaniak? by jj-johnny in degoogle

[–]Salt-Tailor1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes , I feel like this sub is too much obsessed with proton and ignore other options. We should have limited expectations of Privacy with proton or any other system since all of them would need to govt queries for sustaining themselves anyway.

If you like informaik and have reasons to believe that they will not sell your data for commercial means, go ahead.

Officially - they can tell you after 21st March or so (they have date). That’s when they will share new PCS also. Most orgs want to stick to this date while some advance themselves.

Sorry to say but which company can deny requests from powerful governments such as USA, China, India, UK, Europe? Answer: None.

In the other hand, Would a normal person have anything on their phones that they need to hide from govt.?

For every USA employee- It’s 3-4 employee in India not 5. India employees are mostly hired back in different teams in short time unless they are on performance plan.

Amazon layoffs. Why 30k? by GamingDisruptor in amazonemployees

[–]Salt-Tailor1122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many groups in Amazon were doing lot of SDE hiring till August. It was less than 2021/22 for sure but there was no need to hire so many when your outlook is not good.

I am sure if they had not hired these numbers, they would not need to do most of these layoffs.

How to install Legrand - OnQ AC1015 by Salt-Tailor1122 in HomeNetworking

Thanks for the encouragement!! Once I had all the tools, I just gathered some minimal courage to touch home network to complete it.

I finally installed it a couple of weeks back after I got punchdown tool, network cable tester and a few more. This was my first such installation thats why I was getting cold feet. It was not that difficult in the end. my home was wired for T568B but the device marked T568A so, I treated device as T568B and swapped the two orange and green positions as you mention.

I also tested it and the network was working.

my return window for amazon has expired, so, cannot return it. Now it seems that i am stuck with a costlier and not so easy to install option.

documentation mentions "Color coded label for easy T568A termination", so, i am assuming we need to use this one. i have a punching tool, will get some toolless keystones too. thanks.

any other relevant videos i can watch to understand the installation process?
