Having two could be useful - allows you to separate anything that virtual you wants to host from anything real life you wants to host.

(Without having two domains pointing at the same IP)

The hill upto the finishline on my local park run this morning was way harder than usual, so (almost) that one today!

no, different sports.

Is this a new build, or an existing building?

If it’s an existing building, with an existing HOA, then it should already have a bank account? (Probably with funds in it!)

If it’s new, build up an emergency fund, but leave it in a bank. putting it into stocks is crazy, it’s an emergancy/maintenance fund, you need to know how much is there, trust it’s not going to just disappear and be able to access it quickly.

Make sure you understand the voting rights and who has authority to access the money if there is going to be a significant sum in there.

And everyone already has an account, they can just press a button to join the server and be interacting straight away.

yeh, UK school kids get 6 weeks holiday in the summer alone.

Places with the wireless battery powered payment terminals will still work without power for a while. Lots of them don’t even need network, they just sync up later.

But for the most part, if there is a significant power outage, things are screwed anyway.

Huh

It’s a custom chip though isn’t it? Seems a strange choice

That’s basically what hibernate is. Shouldn’t be hard to offer as an option.

The difficult bit is having it wake from sleep to hibernate itself. I suspect that would require hardware.

Hibernate would be great as it’s a slightly longer restore, but should work the same (if you are willing g to sacrifice the disk space)

Being able to pick up the deck and know it will have battery left would be really nice. It drains pretty fast in sleep mode.

Got my hopes up there might be some sleep limit too. Would much prefer if it shuts down/hibernated after being asleep for more than 26 hours (or past a certain battery level)

They also said in their last Q&A that there isn’t a non oped monitor on the market that they can recommend for this use case ☹️

I did try that once, you can’t catch stack overflow errors in .net at least. Too fundamentally broken.

Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I’m aware, so it’s not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.

Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)

It’s an interesting one. I want access to non publicly listed investments, but I have unfortunately lost money in funds that tried it.

To do it, you either need a closed fund, or something kind of buy/sell restrictions to force long term investment.

Is there an alternative app that offers a centralised account service but with user hosted servers?

Their problem is probably that they actually took too long to monetise it.

Before Discord, groups were often paying for hosted team speak, ventrilo or mumble servers. Then along came discord with it’s VC money and did what they did and more for free. Now most people probably are not willing to pay for what used to be a paid service.

I’m not sure about the revolvers ‘subsidising’ the transactors though? Yes, those not using reward cards are getting screwed by the higher shop prices, but it’s not like banks would be losing money on the transactors. Why would banks subsidise them over…just making more money.

Here is an interesting read on the topic of credit card reward programs: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/anatomy-of-credit-card-rewards-programs/
