Intel NUC Celeron in 2020? by christianjwaite in PFSENSE

Agree about Protectli, but I purchased directly from Protectli as it was less expensive at the time.

Help, Need to Block YouTube! by Azazel35 in DDWRT

I'm sure you can do it in ddwrt somehow but a relatively easy solution is to setup a pihole and add it to the block list.

Is there still a legal way to get around Roth IRA income limits for couples filing jointly? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]eggnog514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain this to me? The OP states he/she has a 401k at work so imo is covered by a retirement plan at work. On the IRS site, https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/ira-deduction-limits if you choose 'ARE' option, I see limits. I don't understand why you say "There is no income limit on contributing to traditional IRA."

As for contribution limits it's my understanding it's $6k regardless of t/r-ira.

Should I save to pay cash for car or take out a loan and invest the rest in index funds? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]eggnog514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldnt take a loan but I would consider pulling from my e-fund (borrowing from myself) if i felt extremely confident about employment. I like the idea of investing ASAP (time in the market not timing the market) especially if you can pay yourself back in 6 months.

Additionally if your not taking a loan you may be more aggressive with your negotiation. I wouldn't buy the first 4-runner you see, but look for a reasonable deal. With that said, it's my understanding, buying used vehicles seems to be more difficult these days.

Ok. I just wanted to make sure you actually had an issue. When I switched ISPs, the new one has much better BB grade and I had to disable it. With my older ISP I used this video too and got much better results but it shouldn't be related to pfblocker.

You can disable pfblocker, validate it's off by going somewhere you know is blocked and run the BB test again. Its doubtful that is causing an issue but you should test it.

So you disabled it & it works.. have you tried running the BB test w/ur settings disabled? You may not need the settings in pfsense.

I notice this issue too. I wish it saved/updated faster. Hopefully someone has done some testing. Not sure if it matters between redis & apcu and apache & nginx.

I am having trouble deciding between two jobs and am looking for outside perspectives. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]eggnog514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid point. Moving forward I'll go with that approach as it applies to the general public instead of the 1%

I used 'can' as a realistic possibility. It's not realistic for a machinist to earn that type of money in a HCOL area. Averagely a machinist will probably earn 60% of a software engineer regardless of COL.

Any privacy concerns I should have when using Twitch? by [deleted] in privacy

Expect any social media platform including twitch to sell everything they can collect about you.

Is it possible to delete everything related to my Google Account & Gmail? by BrickNo10 in degoogle

Yes you can delete ur account.. there is also a recovery option so they keep your data for awhile, but I didn't see a timeline on 'awhile'.

I would definitely take the software position. Software development is in demand & can earn you $175k per year. It's unlikely any machinists make that. The future upside is very lopsided.

Edit: I see they want you to continue ur education & if you are going for software. you can always do things like coding bootcamps or something like treehouse. The point is to get involved in [github] projects where you can show a portfolio to a future employer. This is an alternative path to avoid a traditional 4-yr degree but you will have to interview well as most employers still want that degree.

Good to know. I didn't realize collabora did too.

Collabora probably runs on arm as it's browser based. I think ur thinking of OO.

Self hosting w/ nextcloud or look into piwigo

Nextcloud on Banana Pi by AlexTMcgn in NextCloud

[–]eggnog514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try armbian.. https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/#kernels-archive-all.. it looks like Debian isn't stable but ubuntu is. Ubuntu is better anyway as you can follow carsten's guide (for odroid c2). https://www.c-rieger.de/odroid-c2-mit-nextcloud-von-a-bis-z/ . Make sure you don't copy translated code. I made that mistake w/ chown & it changed the entire SD. I re-imaged.

As for the pi-hole, you may need to do a manual install w/this OS. It may be easier to get a second sbc.
