    Sell or Rent?

    Congrats on the opportunity, Having done this just over 6 years ago you have a few considerations. I've had a few people I know move, and we all took slightly different routes, so there is no straight answer. What I can tell, those that are the happiest got the timing right (this is more luck...

    Do hosting companies use Hardware or Software RAID?

    I think you will find a mix, you will even find a lot with dedicate storage arrays configured in either hardware or software raid. You fill find local raid, jbod or something like vSAN. Its not really one or the other

    Transferring money overseas, what service/company to use

    Be careful with this, Shyft can't handle all Swift transaction, i.e. if there is an intermidatary bank involved it fails to process and you have to make 100 calls to get your money back. I experienced this the hard way 2 years ago, it might have changed but I haven't tried since. I pay a...

    Transferring money overseas, what service/company to use

    I use Standard Bank to make a Swift payment. The fees are high, but I feel its a lot safer to do than use some third party sites. They let you do these payments from the mobile app, so its pretty easy. Think fees are like 600 or 700.

    The tech skills that can get you a skilled worker visa for the UK

    South Africa has become a scary place for many, with some people trading down on quality of life they have in ZA to move to other countries. Money/work is not the main reason why people move, its just a means to sustain yourself where ever you choose to live.

    International tax consultant recommendation

    I did a non-tax resident filing, when you select this in the SARS efiling form it opens a bunch of sections that you have to fill out. I think the question is did you cease being a tax resident at any point during the year, and then it asks you to give travel dates. They did ask me to submit a...

    F1 2020 season discussion and chat.

    I think if Lewis doesn't sign, they will fast track him Russell out of Williams. All likelihood, Lewis signs and Bottas leaves at the end of 2021.

    Just watched the race highlights, definitely missed out on a good race. One of the only races this year that at an insane time, and it turns out to be one of the best!! Well done Checo, I really hope Red Bull pile him in next to Max next year. He has performed consistently this year and is...
