Hey everyone. I am looking at either buying the Pro or Enterprise plan with Vercel for a large website that gets around 200,000 visitors a month. I believe the Pro plan meets my needs with the exception of things like SAML (single-sign on). The website would need this but my understanding is that is an additional $300 a month if you buy the add-on for it with the Pro plan.

So I am a little confused as to what the key differences are between the pro plan and the enterprise plan. Can anyone help me?

I've been investing $20 to $40 daily in $VOO since January of this year and I have seen around $340 in profit. $VOO has gone up 10.61% in just the last 6 months, so I have essentially already seen a 10% return on my investment. I'm more than happy.

But I have $20,000 sitting in a HYSA that brings in a small amount of money every month, I think like $20-25? I forget. It's not much, but it's better than it sitting in my checking account.

The thing is, do I really need access to $20,000? I have a job, I own my own property (though it isn't nice.. but it's mine).

I bring home $2,800 every 2 weeks after taxes and crap, but my spending habits are pretty bad, but I don't really reel them in because I know I have $20,000 just sitting in my HYSA in case of an emergency.

But it's killing me to know that the money could be invested and I could be making more. If I had that $20,000 invested in the stock market since January just in $VOO alone, I would have made over $2,000 in returns by now.

Should I chuck that $20,000 into the stock market and let it ride? Or should I just keep continuing to invest separately and keep that $20,000 in the HYSA for an emergency?

For example what if I invested that whole $20,000 into $VOO but then my car breaks down and I don't have $10,000 to buy another one because I put all my money in the stock market? I know you can't rush investing but the more you invest the more you make and I have a lot of money not invested right now.

Really weird. I bought a Pistelle X-68 a week ago, have not used it as I do not have the CO2 tanks or training projectiles in yet, however, after doing more research on how to properly maintain my X-68 and how to properly travel with it I am seeing this stuff..

I do not have a FOID card and not sure if I can get one due to a possible unfavorable background check (though it's a possibility, I am applying for one now).

It just really bugs me out that I've spent around $600 on this thing and I may not even be able to legally have it, so I am considering just taking it back and getting a Bryna.

Is this just Google AI hallucinating or is there some truth to what it's saying?

I see a lot of folks carry pepper spray, non-lethal CO2 guns like the Byrna and Pistelle X-68 and there's a big market for this stuff but has anyone here ever had to use one? If so what was your experience? Did the threat stop?

Oh boy

So late last year (around October?) I left Spectrum after 3 years, switched to a local company. Since then I've received multiple phone calls from Spectrum and have had 2 in-person visits from sales people to bring me back. All within 7-8 months.

I got a knock on the door today from a gentleman from Spectrum who was nice at first but later became combative when his sales pitches weren't working on me and I mentioned them losing internet subscribers (they hate to hear this, I think). After I explained why I needed higher uploads speeds than Spectrum's 40mb/s upload speeds he tried to pivot the sales pitch into "well some people have two ISPs, one for back up in case the main services goes down". I didn't challenge this, but in my head I thought "Isn't that what my mobile hotspot is for?".

I bring up Spectrum's service not doing well, I mention how Spectrum has lost over 400,000 internet customers in the past year and he says that he thinks I am thinking about their TV customers, not their internet customers. He then sees me trying to use my phone to fact-check him and says "I'm not here to argue with you about that, I'm not here to challenge you, I'm not here to compete my data with your data".

After this we do a little more back and forth, he tells me how great he is at his job and I say you may be great at your job, but it looks pretty grim, if Spectrum representatives are calling me and have visited me twice this year to convert me. My point was that while he may be a great salesman who can convert 99% of people back to Spectrum, Spectrum's tactics of continuously disturbing past customers looks grim and desperate as if things are not going well. I said all of that because I felt he was blatantly lying to my face about the internet customers dropping like flies and was trying to gaslight me into thinking it was their TV customers.

He then tells me that my perspective looks skewed and for me to have a nice day and has a nice little chuckle as he walks off and I have one myself inside.

Hopefully this is the last time they come out here.

My Blink camera only recorded the conversation in 10 second intervals, with breaks in-between to process the footage before recording again so that's why there's jump-cuts in the footage but I tried to describe the conversation as accurately as I could above.

So yeah I started this year investing $20 daily in $VOO, then for a period of time I started investing $40 daily in $VOO. That became too aggressive and I noticed between my spending habits + daily investment I was going broke before my next paycheck came in. $20 seems to be the perfect sweet spot to invest daily for me until I reel in my lifestyle and habits which I'm working on now.

With that said I have 4.18 shares of $VOO with the average price of share being $612.71

My current total return on $VOO is $259.55 right now. That's over $250 in profit!

My fear is that if the market crashes I will lose all my profit or most of it. Is it common for investors to occasionally sell all their shares to lock in their profit and then continue to re-invest in the market? To me this sounds like common sense but it might not actually be common sense at all and a bad idea. I do not know what the cons of doing this is, I guess if I sell all my shares I lose out on the next time dividends hits because I won't have has many shares as I'll be rebuilding from 0 shares again.

Hey folks,

I'm a single developer at a company that is wanting to shift the workflow from where I am given a design in Figma and I code that design by myself to now designers hooking up Claude Code to their Figma and generating React components from Claude and passing the code that Claude gives them to me to implement into the website.

The problem is, I firstly have almost no React experience outside of a couple of small projects years ago. I would need a total refresh in React.

BUT I can handle that. My question now becomes, is Astro the infrastructure that would work for us? We are doing a complete website refresh this year and moving to using React to build it.

We are a basic marketing site with a blog. I understand Astro plays nice with frontend frameworks, but is Astro still a good choice for this type of site? The site at this moment will be static and I do not foresee us needing the site to be anything other than a static site BUT we will also want to hook up a CMS to the site so that marketers can make changes to page copy, images and blog posts. Would an Astro site build exclusively in React components (and not Astro components) be using Astro for all the wrong reasons? Would a CMS then also complicate this?

I'm not sure what my options are. Google tells me NextJS or Astro and I really don't want to have to learn NextJS or have a website infrastructure that is very complicated for what our simple needs are (landing pages and blog posts)

Hey folks. I recently installed Unraid on my HP EliteDesk 800 G8. The computer contains a 256gb SSD, 512gb NVME, and two 12tb 3.5" hard drives in it. It's pretty much maxed out in terms of the storage I can put into it.

I recently bought a Terramaster D4-320 w/ 2x 12tb hard drives and 2x 14tb hard drives. I have this connected to my HP EliteDesk 800 G8.

Unraid has detected ALL the drives, which is great. But I am worried about how to configure my set up because I do not want my DAS to potentially ruin my set up if it disconnects or something.

Would the smartest thing to do be:

Put all the drives that are installed in my homeserver into their own pool and then make a separate pool just or my DAS?

My thinking is, if I do this, then if my DAS disconnects for whatever reason, only that pool will be offline.

The thing is I plan to store media across all the pools, so is it kinda confusing to have movie, tv shows and music stored on two different pools? Or is that normal? I don't know if this will affect how Jellyfin works or anything. I just do not want my server hard drives and my DAS hard drives to share the same pool in case something goes wrong with my DAS.

But maybe I'm overcomplicating or overthinking this. I am a complete beginner.

How would you guys go about doing this?
