Something like if I choose 8 hours

I can’t do anything at my phone no matter what

How much amount do you use? I guess pea size

When do you use it day or night?

Do you live it for entire night or only for 10 min?

Do you use moisturiser just after applying tretinoin?

So this happened at my elder brother and sister-in-law’s anniversary. I was invited, and honestly I usually avoid social functions because of personal safety concerns.

My brother kept trying to include me in group photos, and we had such a good time.

Later, while we were waiting and guests were around, my younger sister asked me (politely) to click a few photos of her with my iPhone.

I clicked photos for her because she wanted the memories, she even suggested poses herself.

Then, in front of everyone, a person suddenly said something like:
“Who clicks their sister’s photos like this? We haven’t seen it like this till now.”
They said it in a mocking tone, with a sad expression.

I froze immediately. I felt totally numb with embarrassment for a moment.

I quickly replied, “Never mind, we’ll delete it,” just to stop the awkwardness.

But it wasn’t even something inappropriate she literally requested my help, and I wasn’t asking her for anything.

What hurt me even more is that nobody supported me. There were plenty of women there too, and their comment completely ruined the vibe for my whole day.

Am I overreacting for feeling embarrassed and upset by this?

How would you handle it in the moment especially when it’s family and you don’t want to cause drama?

Stock: HDFCBANK, Quantity: 1600 shares

Buy: ₹798 on 18 June 2026
Sell: ₹804.75 on 29 June 2026

Reason for buying:

🟠 Dividend collection + swing trade opportunity

I used MTF (Margin Trading Facility) for this:

• MTF quantity: I do not remember.
• MTF interest paid: ₹4,350.94
• Brokerage + taxes: ~₹3,000

Initially, looking only at the price movement, it felt like:

"Bas itna hi? Itne din hold karke ₹6-7 ka move? Market ne toh chai ka paisa bhi nahi diya 😂"

But then came the dividend part.

On 06 August 2026, received around ₹18,700 as dividend 😊

So the final picture changed.

The trade was not just about the swing profit. It was a combination of:

✅ Small price appreciation
✅ Dividend income
✅ Controlled MTF cost

Not a multibagger story. Not a "to the moon 🚀" trade.

Just a simple example that sometimes boring large-cap stocks can quietly do their job.

Lesson:
A trade that looks average on the chart can still turn interesting when you understand the complete cash flow.

Risk was there because MTF is not free money. Interest keeps running whether the stock moves or not.

Hmm, 🤔 the Airtel thanks app doesn’t seem to display this basic information anywhere easily on the front page. I have an office internet plan.

Could you please let me know where to find this information?

Ok I have been using VULTR since a long time

Hear me out

That was the era when vultr had cute logo and still has 🥹🥹

But childhood nostalgia 😢

I love vultr so much ♥️♥️♥️

Their support is freaking awesome, they are always kind and helpful

My first app on VULTR was discourse

That time they had nearest region in the SINGAPORE only, not India but I am glad they launched it

Still using their services for Mumbai and Sydney DC

It has been decent experience for the price I pay

One thing I always ensure keeping backup at my own responsibility

And uptime is great

I also made good money with their referral program 🤑

Overall I am happy with their services and support.

I have noticed that many people in this community seem to be distro hopping mainly for entertainment.

Because of that, I am curious to know why people in the Linux India community actually use Linux.

Could you please share your thoughts on this?

Thank you.

Seriously… where is everyone buying eggs?

Market is open but can’t execute order for fractional order, while normal one works.

Anyone else facing this today

Is US market closed right now?? It is giving error related out of market hour while executing fractional sell but chart shows that market is open.

Why I am unable to sell

When I reach out to customer care number…

It successfully confirmed my identity via app

However call get disconnected with saying drop a ticket

I am expecting instant support not waiting for hours.

Pata hai aaj kya hua, aaj se gym restart
Paisa to pura 1 saal ka diya lekin regular nahin jaa Saka because raat jaldi main sota nahin tha aur subah jaldi neend khulti nahin

Anyway I attended today

Naa koi planning
Na proper warm up
Jaise taise karke thoda cardio se shuruwat kiya
For thoda haaayo rabba… haayo rabba karte karte shoulder aur back ko excerise complete kiya

Ab agle din proper plan ke saath jaaunga

Ye platform par aakhir chal kya raha hai? Ab to aise-aise content dikha raha hai jo ki likhne mein sharm aati hai even with anonymous acc.

Pehle ye nature scene, cute cats, lifestyle, financial topics ye tak simit tha, fir dekha AI Content aur ab toh ek dam ulta hi Ganga beh raha hai.

I am writing this here to understand…

Kya aisa problem aapke acc mein bhi ho raha hai yaa fir sirf mere saath ho raha hai?

I’m posting this with a lot of concern and frustration.

TLDR: Problem: I started using it professionally to post my work and sometime using same acc I used to explore casually as well. Earlier it was good like showing me nature, cats, financial topics, useful stuffs but now it has been sided totally.

Thank you for reading. If you want to learn more, please continue reading below…

Today I opened Instagram and went to the search section. What I saw was deeply upsetting. I felt ashamed and disturbed enough that I had to clear my watch history immediately, because the kind of content that appeared was completely unacceptable.

Earlier, I used Instagram for learning and updates—especially short reels related to finance, stocks, and practical tips. Over time, it started becoming repetitive, and now it seems to be leaning heavily toward sensational and inappropriate content. Even worse, I encountered content that is not just vulgar but harmful.

Reporting, in my experience, doesn’t seem to work effectively. And as a creator account holder, I’m genuinely worried about what this platform is doing—how it’s affecting users’ minds and behavior, especially young people.

I strongly feel that such content should be regulated and blocked more strictly. One accidental click should not lead to material that can negatively impact mental health, values, and the future of our children.

Because this is affecting me more than it benefits me, I’m choosing to step away from Instagram. I can’t allow my time, focus, and mind to be spoiled by this anymore.

If you’re also feeling this way—if the platform has become unsafe or harmful for you—please consider deleting your account. I’m doing it because I value my mental peace, my discipline, and the kind of environment we should be protecting for the next generation.

My current Ubuntu experience after moving from Windows 11

I mainly use Ubuntu for these apps:

🔸 Google Chrome / Helium
I use them mainly for ad blocking and browsing. I still suspect Chrome has some memory management issues because sometimes my system freezes unexpectedly.

🔸 Terminal
Honestly, I enjoy it more than PuTTY. Being able to simply type:

ssh alias_name

and connect to my server is a great experience. ❤️

🔸 FileZilla
It works well, but today it randomly crashed for no obvious reason.

🔸 Text Editor
Simple, lightweight, and does the job.

🔸 File Explorer
I recently discovered that I can drag the Desktop folder into the left dock. Small feature, but I really liked it.

What I am looking for from Ubuntu:

• A smooth and consistent experience
• No random crashes
• Faster and more responsive performance
• Better font rendering

I moved from Windows 11 mainly because I disliked the high memory usage and wanted a more privacy-friendly operating system.

This is probably my 25th attempt at adopting Ubuntu after many failed attempts in the past. This time, I genuinely want to stick with it. I also did not have much choice because my laptop was not allowing me to install Windows 11, and surprisingly, I am happy that happened. It forced me to finally give Linux a proper chance. :)

My previous record was around 30 days of using Ubuntu as my primary daily driver. Hopefully, this time I can break that record.

I am a junior SysAdmin. Most of my time goes into managing cloud servers, troubleshooting issues, watching YouTube, and spending time on Reddit. So Linux actually fits quite well with my daily workflow.

Here's my config
