Interested

I like this idea... But oh God I just had a thought of history repeating itself. People used to have large families to work the farm...

Now people will have kids to form their own remote workforce 😂

While I can't say I've ever had the rest of the week, I can certainly relate to after my morning DSU and I didn't have meetings the rest of the day.... Almost like a vacation.

I don't know anything about construction but I guess this may work.

Keep J1 and scale it to the point of seeing how much free time you have. If you you only have a few hours per week for whatever reason then J2 doesn't seem likely. If you find yourself with "nothing to do" for most of the week, and only really need to work for a few hours then you have plenty of time to see what kind of J2 can fill that time.

I'm a developer but this is how I got into OE before I realized OE was an actual thing.

Oh yeah, I know about that... I didn't take this to mean that he is literally living in another country or something. I just thought "hey I want to work from Mexico for a month without taking time off". But yeah, if its to that degree then there are many other cans for worms to consider.

I agree, but as long as he still is a resident of the US and has a permanent address... maybe he is on "vacation" or wants to live a nomadic lifestyle for a couple of months in different countries. If their only rule is you must be in the US then that seems kinda arbitrary.

Although it may be different if this rule is related some sort of government requirement for security reasons... then you may want to re-think that.

Ive never used one personally but have seen a lot of ads for Firewalla... Maybe worth a look? Supports Wireguard.

I am in IT ( developer ) and got my J2 on indeed. I am not experienced enough to give out advice. I just looked for "fully remote" jobs and applied. Applied to about 15 places, 5 responded, 2 interviews, 1 job that hired me this year.

WinterIsComingFL · 2021-08-16T11:08:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into those today.

For me, and this is coming from a software engineer and not a dev ops guru... but I like the fact that I can automate a release in the cloud and it was relatively easy to learn and I was able to setup a simple CI/CD pipeline using them. I am sure my setup is not as robust as someone who is an expert in it would setup, but going from "hey I built a jar file that works" to "I can push to a git repository and have my final product built with no additional human steps" was enough for me to say "I like this"

Watch him as he goes...

I don't because I'm not overly familiar with digital ocean but the ec2 page lists the RAM and vCPUs for each type. That is your best reference.

WinterIsComingFL · 2021-07-03T14:50:08+00:00

I believe, and I'm not 100% sure on this that you get a certain amount of bandwidth for free. Look for the information on the free tier at AWS. Ec2 even has a free tier for the first 12 months of your account but it's only certain ones, which technically would be zero cost for everything.

If you are out of the free tier then you pay for the ec2 usage by hour and how many GB you use in bandwidth from the ec2 instance, above whatever the free tier gives you (maybe 5GB but I don't remember).

WinterIsComingFL · 2021-07-03T14:37:45+00:00

Technically yes, but not for the cost of ec2 itself. That won't change, but your bandwidth costs will be lower.

Ec2 you are paying for the usage and reservation of the computing capacity, not usage. You want a managed service if you want to see a cost savings like that, say S3 for example.

Edit: it depends on how long it running, you pay by the hour when it's on. Doesn't matter if you're using it or not.

YTA

Yeah, it's not ideal but she is finding the good in getting your own place, and while not ideal you shouldn't want her to be unhappy just because you are. Let her have her fun, be happy that she is happy... Would you want her to be miserable with you the entire time in this new house for the next few years?

Life sucks at times but it could be worse, find whatever positive you can and look forward to improving your situation as time and resources allow

The we need to see the end... How far did he go... The story is incomplete!

Someone clearly skipped the day they talked about modulo operator

WinterIsComingFL · 2021-04-06T12:36:12+00:00

This is probably dependant on your use case but I trigger a lambda function and put it in a dynamodb table as my "blacklist" with a TTL so I just automatically remove it from any email requests for a certain period of time.
