My wife (26) and I (29) are looking at, preferably a single family detached home but possibly a townhome in BC as FTHBs.

We have a decent down payment and have already met with a mortgage broker and realtor. We started all of this because there was a property that caught our eye and in our price range (more on this later).

Now I'm curious if this is just our mindset and if it's maybe not the smartest but we're looking at homes to buy as a place to call home and raise a family not necessarily invest for future gains. It seems a lot of people in our lives don't think the same way. We still want to take all the correct steps when purchasing a home and as FTHBs it's hard to look forward to this while asking for help and advice when the responses are generally negative.

It may just be the property we're looking at, it's a bit older but renovated, and has a decent 20% ish grade slope in the backyard about 10m from the back patio. Obviously we would have this looked at and ask as many of the correct questions we can but everyone is saying it's a bad "investment" and again we're not looking to invest, we're looking for a place to be our home and raise a family. If this property doesn't pass inspection or the slope is really an issue then we'd walk away.

Is anyone else searching or have bought a house with our mindset? How'd it work out for you?

I'm struggling to get a connection between host and client app while self hosting the server.

I'm on Win11 but using Docker Desktop, I followed the docker setup, made sure the compose was correct and ports were forwarded in both the firewall and router.

When I enter in the ID Server and Key on both apps, no matter what I enter it will not connect. I've gotten "key mismatch" and "couldn't connect right now" errors. All numbers matched correctly on both client and host app.

I can normally connect using the default Rust Relay server but not with my self hosted server.

Am I missing something? I've tried multiple IPs (thinking I had the wrong one) I've tried just the IP for the ID Server I've tried these - 192.x.xxx.1.xxx:21116, 64.xxx.xxx.xx:21117 etc. Double checked the ports and can't find a thing. VPN is split tunneling on both host and client.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Hi all,

Fiance and I are getting married soon and we're thinking about our honeymoon for early next year. We've been to Maui before and that would probably be our number one choice but we were looking at other places with a similar vibe or an all inclusive, travelling from West Coast Canada.

Criteria:
2 weeks +- a couple days is okay
Budget is pretty broad, would prefer to keep it closer to $5k CAD total but looking at the current prices would probably be closer to 7-8K CAD, ultimately $10k CAD hard max.
Good selection/variety of food and local activities
Never done all inclusive but if there is one worth while we'd look into it
Beach/Ocean within walking distance

St. Lucia caught our eye and looked at a couple resorts. Ti Kaye being the best so far with the plunge pool.

Ideally would like to stay away from Mexico, it doesn't interest either of us, but maybe Bahamas or other Caribbean Islands? Definitely more of a beach resort/stay than a Jungle.

Please let me know if there's something I'm missing, I've travelled before but mainly Europe, and the States.
