    All I want is a chair somewhere...

    I loved mine until I moved across the world and had to sell it. I missed that chair daily until I got a SecretLab XL but there are still some things that the WAU just did better. Comfort wise, and longevity were absolutely unbeatable.

    Is reseller hosting a scam? Is it impossible for resellers to be competitive. My journey to throwing in the towel before I even got started!

    If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, https://github.com/postlight/awesome-cms lists all the various CMS and what they're good at. Wordpress and Wix are pretty well established industry norms because they Just Work™ As far as SEO goes, that's sort of a nuanced thing but shouldn't...

    Is reseller hosting a scam? Is it impossible for resellers to be competitive. My journey to throwing in the towel before I even got started!

    I mean yeah. It's not there to make you a competitor. It's there to enable you to have a platform that you don't have to: set up your own cPanel licensing (cPanel is a PITA to deal with sometimes), your own domains.co.za integration for cPanel (also a PITA sometimes), your own rackspace (a...

    Is reseller hosting a scam? Is it impossible for resellers to be competitive. My journey to throwing in the towel before I even got started!

    Reseller hosting, hell, any hosting isn't a scam, it's a margins and numbers game. As other people have pointed out, reseller hosting by itself just facilitates your business model, it isn't the whole thing. The margins are already so tiny in hosting that there's really no point in getting into...

    SARS eFiling 2022/2023

    Anyone had an issue submitting supporting documents? I've got the documents uploaded but the two buttons "Submit to SARS" and "Manually Submitted" are both grayed out. Nevermind, I'm dumb - found the little button I was missing

    ‘Quiet quitting’ getting louder in South Africa – and bosses need to take note

    Quiet quitting is such a stupid term. It implies that there's something the employee is doing that's wrong. In some situations, that's true. Most of the ones I've encountered fit the "Working your Wage" alternative title. Quiet quitting is a company term.

    He wrote Dracula didn't he?

    Reddit API fee plan causes user revolt

    Note that these changes don't only impact 3rd party apps - the mods for many subs use the 3rd party apps to moderate (because the official one SUUUPER sucks for mod duties) Bots that help keep subs clean will also die so look forward to oodles of porn and spam on your normally clean subs...

    VOX is a fraudulent company

    That's pretty damned good. Now chase down that refund. Chase it down HARD because they will forget you almost immediately now. Don't give up until you've got your money in your account.

    Skype, Edge and Bing mobile apps get Microsoft-customised ChatGPT support

    Yeah, Bing showed up in my skype today. We added it to a group chat and started playing. It starts off dumb as a stump but gets better over time. It's still not as good as ChatGPT for most tasks but obviously better for real-time stuff and web searches. I got thiiiis close to persuading it that...

    Researcher warns AI development must be shut down, or risk destroying all life on Earth

    I feel like people don't get the dangers in these new models. It's not the "murder all humanity" that you need to watch out for, it's the "this unlocks super capitalism and you're even more of a drone while CEOs get richer and richer"

    Raspberry Pi

    Yeah quite possibly. But I mean, the issue isn't finding the software, it's finding a small form factor device that is actually in stock anywhere and that can keep running through LS on the tiny UPS units I have running my ONT and all that little junk. Even the Intel Stick PCs I think suck too...

    Raspberry Pi

    I just want something to run pihole, that's all.

    Generator monitoring (Output, Load, Temperature etc.)

    This worked out perfectly. Mounted on a surface mount waterproof box with a DIN rail. The flow goes: Generator -> Power Monitor -> Temp & Humidity Monitor -> Generator Breaker -> Changeover -> House. The only downside ( which isn't that much of a downside ) is that the monitors only have power...

    VOX is a fraudulent company

    The thing with Vox is that they're not actually fraudulent, they really are just that bad at what they do. This includes the entire gamut of Sales, service, and technical support. Don't give up - if you've already paid them and they haven't provided a service, insist on a refund. I warn you...
