  • I use this.

    I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.

    I have a grand stream sip adapter… Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.

    Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip



  • It’s all about privacy.

    I am amazed at services offered that run rampant in the home.

    My ISP offers fiber. But only if you also sign up for managed wifi where they manage your internal net…no way

    I got a quote for solar power…but they must use a 3rd party cloud to manage your power and it uses eth over electrical … If you use eth over electrical already, then it does whatever it wants in your home network …no way.

    Cell phones? They all go into a guest wifi…not on my home network.


  • First off…you are a great parent. Respect. The most important thing I wish I heard at 14 is that changes are normal, sexual desire is normal, a teenagers body is spurting growth and this may be awkward, but also normal.

    When I was 14, my knees hurt because of my growth spurts.

    When I was 14, there were a lot of awkward arousals that I had to cover with my back back.

    When I was 14, I was still smaller compared to others, by 18 I was towering above everybody.

    When I was 14 I was a coward with girls. When I really shouldn’t have been.

    When I was 14, I was bullied, and wish with all my heart, I would have Stood up for myself…if I had a cthwr figure to tell me that instead of teachers telling me to be peaceful Instead.

    Hell, maybe a big brother program would help.

    Hell, if you are desperate, DM me…maybe I can help






  • I’ve worked for the government. They had me managing 78 full AWS accounts for various departments. Me, 1 guy. And I had to explain basics of tech to everybody in charge of the cloud accounts.

    Our gov can barely manage itself, let alone some next level tech on millions of devices and keep track of it all. They couldn’t even get me a new mouse without 2 forms, 1 online ticket, and 2 levels of approvals.





  • Before, his power was checked by legislature…but now GOP has full control over the gov, and the supreme Court has 5 members nominated by Trump, soon to be 7.

    Hand maidens tale seems possible. Destruction of the middle class through tariffs, union busting, tear down of heath coverage, teardown public schools, force colleges to abandon certain studies or no federal money…

    Add in non stop fossil fuel promotion with drill baby drill attitudes, tear down NOAA and the nhc because strong hurricane news reinforces climate change.

    I guarantee in 4 years Trump will try to name a successor instead of holding an election.







  • In Florida. Small 3/2. Biggest expense is home insurance. In Florida it is crazy expensive. 10k a year with windstorm at a crazy high 20k deductible. And insurance demands a new roof under 15 years old, even if the roof has a 20 year warranty.

    Taxes are 6k a year. That’s with all the benefits I could claim.

    Everything else is 2k a month.

    Everything except house upkeep. Everything breaks and Everything is so expensive to get fixed with a pro. I’ve learned a lot of DIY , but there are things you just can’t tackle. Plumbing, 220 electrical, HVAC… If anything breaks prepare to spend 1k to 7k depending
