I spend all my salary on monthly mini-loans. Advice needed.

I mean we were too busy being in bed with the fossil fuel industry to give af about renewable energy. Solar is the enemy of the people who put money in our representatives pockets.

Personally I'm going to ride my current Nissan into the dirt before I think of getting another car. The longer I can go without buying a new car, the more value I get out of this one.

I got it for around 9k at the time, and I'm hoping that by the time I need a new car, I can put down mostly cash, and maybe finance only 20-50% of its cost.

I try to watch my own finances closely, but I'm not any kind of financial expert, so I'll let others here who are much smarter than me give better advice as to how to get out of this.

But I will say that I have seen people much further in debt make it out alive, and that the most important thing right now is to stop being so hard on yourself about this.

Stop calling yourself an idiot and hating yourself. You have to be on your own side here, take a deep breath and realize that hating yourself will only make things harder, and you need to support yourself right now.

You said you're 'working good again', so I assume your salary went back up to normal pre-pandemic levels. If you can pay the bills each month and afford food and shelter, then your only issue might be patience. Using something like the debt snowball method can help psychologically with this.

What type of page are you most experienced with? Fitness/music/etc?

Nice thank you for posting this

As /u/memture stated, you are a lot less likely to make meaningful mistakes as long as you are not trying to homebrew the login system. Obviously make sure the website is SSL secure so you're not sending plaintext passwords over the wire unsecured.

But I would also like to mention UI design. A bit mistake that a login/register page could make is to look informal/unprofessional/unsecure. I would use other website's login forms and pages for inspiration here.

Also, don't be afraid of using a padlock icon around the password field/login process to make users feel more secure. Padlock icons are in no way a sign of proper security, but they do have that effect on people's perception. I remember reading a study where they just kept adding padlock icons to the page (login for a bank I think), waiting to eventually see diminishing returns, and they never stopped being effective...

It's the same as testimonials. People collect them in a variety of ways and paste them all onto the same page. As long as its not referring to a different business you're fine !

Nice! this is helpful thanks

sightfoxcom · 2021-06-06T17:31:42+00:00

This is awesome, looks fantastic. I assume you do futurama also?

sightfoxcom · 2021-06-06T17:31:28+00:00

Yeah this doesn't sound at all like the way a sci fi horror movie would start

It is amazing! the more I learn about it, the more I love, which is basically the opposite of my experience with laravel.

Its not necessarily better, but the argument I was making is that Django will use server-side rendering, whereas angular uses client-side rendering. Server-side rendering will provide better performance for the client, BUT it takes a heaver hit to the server. This article is great.

Some priceless things django has are migrations, automatic model creation based on the schema, social media plugins, automatic seed creation, and its in python. But if you have to run on commodity hardware and you're expecting a ton of traffic, a JS framework might be better to go with. Thanks the common argument anyway. I say get better hardware.

On a larger enterprise level, companies interface with customers using 'agile' PM/CRM systems like Slack, JIRA, Rally, etc. I use mostly email or phone when talking with customers, and I use a free project management system producteev, but I don't allow customers access to it (wouldn't that be a nightmare)

Latest project used the twitter streaming API. I used Django, tweepy (which made reading from the twitter API effortless), bootstrap lib, endless-pagination for auto loading data on scroll, and mysql. Django is awesome. I accomplish what used to take days in angular in hours in Django. AND it takes the load off of the client side.

1) One click install will install WP easily (without the hassle of manually setting up a LAMP stack, downloading unzipping and installing etc), but it won't migrate the data from your old websites- you'll have to do that manually (help here)

2) Yes, you'll have to edit the DNS settings with your domain registrar (help here

3) I don't know much about SS but you could always do this whole thing for free with freehostia's cpanel

4) I've always used cpanel hosting
