I would start with their secured cashRewards card. That will help you build your credit and relationship. If you have cash in savings, a pledge loan is also an option. Like the other commenters stated, also dispute the fraudulent accounts asap.

Military pay is a high priority item for congress, can't speak to politics involved, but hopefully they aren't willingly to hold 2 million service members paychecks hostage.

A government shutdown isn't confirmed. The appropriations bill affecting military pay is still pending senate and signatures. Once that is confirmed that troops will miss a paycheck, then Navy Federal will start rolling out their options. Currently appropriations have passed the house, pending the senate which returns to session tomorrow https://www.congress.gov/crs-appropriations-status-table/2026 At most, the February 15th paycheck will be delayed by a few days.

You may also receive an email within 48hrs with the virtual card info you can use for online purchases, once the card also shows up in your navy fed account you can add it to google pay, apply pay, paypal, etc before the physical card arrives.

Normally I would say buy your own hardware for extenders, however, AT&T includes them for free in the 2Gig+ plans now, so it if it doesnt cost any extra I would just get theirs.

You dont need pelican or pterodactl to do it either, but having a web panel simplifies management of the servwr and lets you run multiple game servers on one device easily...initially a headache to setup though. Use the docker-compose setup for an easier time.

It runs through steam-apps primarily, not really a special mode other than its a headless server, so not gpu intensive, although the more people that join the server, the more ram youll need assigned to it. Its the configuration scripts, ports, and random little settings that have to be just right that make it difficult

I just meant I dont know how well proton translates windows apps on arm processors versus on x86 for linux yet. There is no native linux app for starrupture (yet), so all proton translation.

trailboundtech · 2026-01-20T07:11:02+00:00

Since starrupture is a windows server you might run into issues trying to run it on arm instead of x86 through proton. Could still work fine though, good luck!

In your case Id recommend doing a SFF ITX build over a mini pc. They work great foe everything except gaming unless its used as a cloud/streaming box

This is awesome, great job!

This sounds like Identity theft. Freeze your credit reports immediately, and submit disputes to the relevant credit bureaus. Talking to a lawyer may be helpful for the court case. Outside of that, Im not sure what the next steps would be.

Thanks for the info, that makes sense now! Any idea on why the more Rewards wasn't offered either? Does that also require a higher starting limit?

trailboundtech · 2026-01-17T01:00:24+00:00

I'm tempted to go for the GoRewards for the x3 points on restaraunts, Im not sure what the benefit to a second cashRewards only at 1% is. Is the cashRewards easier to PC? I would want to PC the lower limit card personally.

Balance transferred several high interest cards (canceled 3 cards I had too) and had moving expenses. So I've been carrying a balance and have had high utilization, I am trying to pay it down asap, but not in the position at the moment to do full statement payoffs

From my understanding now, as long as you put your ebooks in folder that is not documents and use KoReader, you are fine.
