Security is still the same, even with AI. Make sure passwords are strong. Use inscription. Keep a password manager. Make use of MFAs. Outside of this limit your digital footprint and don't give AI any personal information that you wouldn't otherwise want to be known online.

I am actually subbed to this channel and I second this. I have used his videos in a pinch and have always found them easy to follow and understand. No issues!

There are low cost options but none that I can think of that are totally free. If you want to be technical, you need to pay for the internet in order to get something started. Well, I guess you could go sit somewhere that offers wifi but you would have to buy something to sit in those places. So you have to spend money to make money 99% of the time is what I am saying haha

I have had sleep issues on and off. I find my sleep improves when I spend more time outdoors and just am more active. I do notice that when I consume too much sugar or am having aches and pains, my sleep will be interrupted more. Do you have any issues with back pain?

I thought this. Everything for babies these days seems overpriced, like by alot. I am always hearing complaints about diaper prices and formula costing way too much. I think these things were always considered to be expensive though. Like my mother opted for washable diapers because of the price of them and this was back in the early 80s.

Well yes, all wars impact economies. Just like all elections do. The recent election for example that we had in the US impacted China's stock market. It is mostly down to the oil though in this case. When prices of oil go up, the cost of transporting goods goes up and thus makes the goods cost more.

I have used a few of them for fun. I can't say I ever considered to open one. I am sure outside of money, there are restrictions. Most of the casinos I see people using here in the US aren't even in the US. A lot of them are coming out of places like Turkey. I guess that would be where the servers are anyways.

I was told by my doctor that you should exercise 3 or 4 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes but this will NOT offset sitting all the time. He recommended that every 30 minutes to an hour, I stand up and stretch. If I can manage it, I should walk around and move for 2 to 5 minutes. This takes all the stress off the joints, stops circulation from pulling, and undoes 80% the damages sitting too much does. The weekly workouts pick up the slack. So I stick with this.

I have a few pages on there. I don't use them often but I still get traffic to my sites thanks to them. So I would say it is still active. Maybe not as active as it was when it was still fresh and new for people, like back in 2010, but it is still active enough. I think some changes that they have made over the years made the platform less appealing.

I am wondering if anyone here has had this problem. So the RAM in my PC is fine. I tested it. But for some reason it keeps detecting an issue and my computer will randomly refuse to turn on. I have to open it up and remove the RAM (2 of them) and turn it on and off, then put them back in and it works fine again. But it happens about 2 or 3 times a week now. At first it was happening maybe once a month. So I know there is some issue but I don't know enough about computers to figure this out. Could it be an issue with the motherboard itself?

Are you some sort of streamer or online personality? If not, I would not worry about juggling multiple brands. This sort of approach only works for people with platforms that are built up around their name or legacy.

I know it might not be as helpful, but whatever you plan out for yourself just make sure you stick with it for at least 3 months. Most people to not see any growth before that point and if you quit too soon, you could be missing out.

I changed a few accounts in the past. The followers will always go down but they would go down for inactive accounts anyways. I did do a recent change, maybe 3 or so months ago I think and I didn't lose that many. Follower counts don't mean as much these days. I have seen massive accounts hardly get any interactions. The key is having an active following and it only takes a few thousand people to make an account huge.

Agreed. A lot of people use AI to alter these programs too to fit their needs perfectly. Because it is all online, the AI can easily go in and make changes without breaking anything too.

I would never use them, even if they weren't bad. Why? Because it looks unprofessional. I know that sounds silly but look at the big websites. Most use one word or two and they never have this.

Really, the easiest way to speed it up a website is to enable opcache in your control panel. Assuming you know how to do this. It is very easy and there are guides online if you are not sure. Other ways involve more time. So you can do this first and see what results you get.

I was looking into alternatives to WordPress for a website I want to build for a family friend. He runs a small local business and I heard great things about the platform. All the other ones I looked into like Wix and Squarespace are too basic. Ghost stood out. I was reading on another forum how people viewed it as a better alternative. So I am curious if this is true and if anyone here has used it?

The only one I am familiar with is OpenMetadata and as the name would suggest, it is opensource. I am not sure if this is what you are after or not but the program is really solid and works great in different use case scenarios depending on what you are after.

So you want this for various reasons. And yes, you should have it on all websites just to protect you legally speaking. I will list off some reasons why below, just quick snipets I pulled from AI to make it faster and clearer to understand : Liability Protection: A user agreement limits your liability for errors, user-generated content, and service disruptions, providing a contractual framework to defend against lawsuits. Intellectual Property Rights: It explicitly protects your content, trademarks, and data, preventing users from copying, scraping, or misusing your intellectual property. User Control: It grants you the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate your rules, helping you prevent abuse and maintain a safe environment. Dispute Resolution: It defines governing law and dispute resolution mechanisms, such as arbitration, which can significantly reduce legal costs and jurisdictional uncertainty.

There is a color theory that seems to work for a lot of businesses. You use specific colors in logos, on websites, in advertising, etc. to drive someone to do something. Like when it comes to food, a lot of companies use yellow and red. Both signal speed and hunger. I don't know the whole science behind it but it is something that has worked with people for decades!

I didn't know lead generation was still a thing in 2026. I haven't heard or seen people discuss it in many moons. I know on a local level for smaller businesses, it makes sense but it is just wild to see it being talked about.

So last year, one of my websites broke. And when I say broke, I mean nothing functioned. I couldn't get anything where it should be. Every page was missing content, there were blank pages, etc. and it was down to me using too many WP plugins. I had to go through each and every one to test which are breaking what. And because it was a site I ran ads on, I had to fix it fast or my earnings from it would tank. This setback stressed me out. I ended up diving right into the mess. It took me 4 days to fix. This was working on it before and after my standard 9 to 5. Two of those days I didn't even sleep. It was a nightmare. But because I just buckled down and got the issue sorted, it didn't cause too much damage. My point is that if there is a setback you can do something about, just do it sooner rather than later. If it is a setback you have no control over, revisit it down the road and don't stress about it.

A lot of people end up doing side-hustles to make ends meet. I see a lot of people in their 20s juggling multiple jobs as well. I am not really surprised by any of this.

I am speaking for stuff like data entry. This is the kind of stuff anyone could do but people make mistakes. That is all I meant by it. AI wouldn't make as many mistakes.

I do my best to by using an app to track and schedule all my spending. If you mean entirely separate, then no. I keep all my money on one bank account. I do want to look into having a second bank though. I have read that having one you put a bit of money into each month and just don't touch for emergency funds is a good idea. I do have my savings but this would be a bit different.
