All good advice here.

Find a good agent to represent you.

Get pre approved by your potential mortgage company.

Have a decent down payment in cash ready.

Never ever ever ever sign a deal with a per diem penalty. No matter what.

Make sure you understand what your taxes and insurance will be. Also check for FEMA flood maps. My home had a paved patio and 6 inches of it touched a XX flood zone, they wanted 15k a year for mandatory flood insurance. I took a sledge hammer to the concrete and poof, no more flood insurance requirement.

What the current resident pays in taxes is NOT what you will pay…research it.

Don’t buy a house within 1 block of a school …school traffic is terrible.

Get a full inspection…not just what’s required.

Good luck

Have you looked at just having a dhcp hot standby.

It offers better redundancy than just 1 host. Super easy to setup too.

Just adding this to the hatred for McD… Their WiFi requires you to install and trust a McDonalds WiFi cert. Man in the middle https decoding. Anyone who has done this has given McD their creds to various sites.

I refuse to use the kiosks… Hate those thing

Best thing to do here is buy a Network interface card with 2 ports that support a floating IP address for HA. each interface can plug into a separate lan switch for HA.

Last time I did this, broadcomm was a good choice.

I would not run any core services on WiFi only.

How many users ? How large a network? Could you offload dhcp/DNS to other devices to improve resiliency?

True evil

Because its an evil drink that can turn even the most devout of men into scoundrels.

No hornpipe. I’m out

I’m at a loss as to how this would work consistently. If 2 interfaces share an IP without bonding, then only 1 would answer the ARP request from anothet host trying to establish a connection. If your system allows same static on 2 devices on same land, then other hosts talk to whoever establishes a session or answers the ARP request.

I’m curious why you would want this at all?

Its already at a point where I can’t take a long exposure without a dozen spacex satellites and other junk zooming through my frame. Light pollution is already at a tipping point where no stars are visible in or around large cities.

Support your local amateur astronomer club. Support the dark skies association.

I’ve been to so many doctors that say if I don’t opt in then they won’t see me.

I’ve walked out a lot

Great way for nefarious websites to get you to install an app on your phone for ‘verification’.

Any website that uses this gets an angry email from me.

I bet people down voting me are the sales reps that sell/lease thousands of iPads and Chromebooks to districts along with software licenses and contracts to supple the personnel to support that hardware.

There should be 1 class for computer and tech. The rest of school can be done with pencil, paper, and a ruler.

Districts should stop playing the marketing game and spend money repairing buildings, buying up to date textbooks, and fucking paying teachers more.

My local grocery has black bean burger patties. Grill it up, on a bun, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, ketchup… Damn fine burger

Soon they will require proof of these systems in older cars to get registration. Watch.

They will bring back inspections for surveillance but not for emissions.

Its probably the “no logging” policy.

Wait, really? When did this happen? I’ve been using PIA all along.

Was it a big bad wolf?

Basically, if they went with IBM and it broke, its IBM’s fault

If they went open source and it broke, its our fault for picking it.
