It’d be cheaper, sure. But that assumes anyone actually wants to run things locally. My VP is an elderly woman who would love to get off the Board as well. We just don’t have volunteers to run things. I joined up so our HOA didn’t get handed to a lawyer to run, which would cost even more.
Prior to having a management company, the HOA treasurer embezzled about $40,000. It’s the reason they got the management company in the first place.
Getting out of it is the hardest part for us right now.
We’re in a small 28 unit condominium, so our dues go towards insurance for all buildings (only exterior, have to have our own for studs in), water, lawn service, management company, etc. Our dues are almost $400/month.
Yes, per month. It absolutely blows, especially when we’re trying to sell our unit and it’s been on the market for almost half a year.
I’m the HOA president so I know what all our expenses are (and have fought to keep increases to a minimum, including negotiating the community water bill with the water company), and unless we kick out the management company (Not going to happen) the dues are just going to stay high. We’re preparing to refuse an increase for the next year.
My guess is that it may not be factoring traffic conditions for bicycle directions
This is a great thread for finding new people to block
It’s a reference to the mold growing in her house
I’ve got both going for dual cloud backup. Immich is hosted local so I’ve got a backup at home, and I pay $5/month for 500GB storage with Google
I always read it as Law Enforcement Officer
Google image search gives me this guy, which sounds and looks right http://www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=1639
Eeh, I see it as a gray area. Majority of millenials, myself included, grew up learning about novel technologies as they developed. We learned how to use desktop computers and browse the internet during a ‘golden age’ of innovation. They became part of our everyday lives and are second nature to us. The next generations don’t fully have that experience but are expected to natively know their way around a computer since they’re so ubiquitous in our lives. In reality, they know how to use smart phones and chromebooks but aren’t getting the experience of working on a real desktop computer.
Regarding teaching kids the basics, I’d put it on the schools, not the parents. Do schools still have computer labs? That’d be where proper computer skills should be taught. If parents can help at home that’s great, but I don’t think it should be expected that every kid is going to have a real computer at home to learn on (versus phones, tablets, chromebooks, etc).
Ketchup + Mayo is called Fry Sauce here in the USA (This can vary based on the state)! Will definitely try with some diced onion next time I make some
It’ll stay red if people don’t vote
The following was added to my fstab
//192.168.86.181/TrixieTV /home/brobot/Storage/Completed/TV cifs credentials=/home/brobot/.smb 0 0 //192.168.86.181/TrixieMovies /home/brobot/Storage/Completed/Movies cifs credentials=/home/brobot/.smb 0 0
The credentials are using a new user ‘moose’ that owns the folders and has full control
user=moose password=3141
I’ll look into that, thanks!
We just had a total power outage, and restarting my main machine I remembered I have Linux Mint installed as duel boot. I’ve been waiting for a final push to get me to migrate away from Windows. Would it be easier to do all this from Linux Mint instead of Windows?
No GUI on my end (It’s been fun learning to use a headless server). I have to sudo to be able to do anything in the mount locations. Using ls -s, the permissions and owner aren’t changing after using chown and chmod.
Yup, the mount is authenticated and the Share Permissions on Windows have it set to Full Control for Everyone, plus ‘Password protected sharing’ is turned off under Advanced Network Settings.
Same. We made it a date and went downtown to a pawn shop to pick out rings. It’s honestly a great way to find fun rings at not-horrendous prices
I’d be worried about anyone smoking the rosins used in orchestra
This is the first time I’ve seen RTGames referred to by his full name XD
It may try to connect to open wifi networks instead, maybe
