Do you invest money in something or having a long-term investment plan? I think one of the biggest problem society have is people get old and end up without any money or family. In the modern world, we no longer can rely on our families to take care of us in old age. It worked great in old days but today I think it's becoming less and less practical. So we need to have some money saved for those times when we are helpless to do what we do now. I know there are many ways people invest money on Like Fix deposits, Life Insurance, real estate property, gold, etc. Also, there are not so common methods like investing in rare items, etc.

Do you have a plan or have you been already doing that? Younger you start it will be better for you when you get old.

There are several things I do and I like to do. I think buying some land would be a great investment. I haven't done this yet but I'm going. It doesn't have to be something expensive. There are areas where land is pretty cheap. But these are won't stay undeveloped all the time.  Another reason why I want to do this is that I would love to settle on a small farm one day and grow stuff, move away from busy cities.

I also invest in the stock market. Now I do it long-term way. I buy small about of shares like every month. But only from those big companies which have pretty solid share price. So I will keep buying for the next 20 years or so or till I decide it's no longer matters.

There is another thing I do. I buy stamps. Now it doesn't look like a promising way to invest money for some who don't know about philately. But in some countries, there is a pretty good market for that. Also, it's one of my hobbies. So it's a hobby which I can enjoy but also can have future returns. Now I'm kind of so obsessed with it so every month I buy a bit of stamp at face value.

Are you reading the news?
Nowadays the USA market is going crazy due to a subreddit community called WallStreetBets that is rising up the price of GameStop's commercial actions.

They are just buying the actions and holding them. A lot of expert are saying that a lot of people will get hurt from this market manipulation but so far only hedge funds are losing money.

The internet is full of this new war "Rich vs Poor", when the seconds one attacks using the same weapon of the first!

What do you think about it?

Do you ever buy a commercial action?

I noticed this board was a bit inactive, so I decided to put up this question here!

So, the debate is Nature vs Nurture

I'll include an excerpt from the internet regarding the main point of the debate below,

Quote:

• Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence who we are—from our physical appearance to our personality characteristics.
  
  
• Nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our surrounding culture.
  

So the debate is mainly as to which factor plays the more important part in our behavior and growth. Is our personality effected more by our genes or by our upbringing?

Some philosophers such as Platos suggested that particular elements are caused by genes and occur naturally without environmental effects. However, other philosophers seem to agree with the other opinion.

Personally, My opinion on this matter would be that initially our personality is controlled by Nature, especially before one explores the world. Once he/she grows, the environmental factor comes into play and may or may not effect the person in positive/negative way. E.g. I am of the opinion that no child is born evil, however the environmental effects can shape his/her personality.

I'd be interested to see what you guys think about this

Hey,

So recently I played my first ARPG (Action RPG) called Path of Exile, 

I really had fun playing the game and am still playing however this increased my interest in other ARPGs (like Diablo).

I wanted to know if there other ARPG or even RPG game followers on this forum, and which game they like to play

Personally I don't play PoE just because of its gameplay, but moreso because of its unique currency system. The game is based wholly on user defined Supply and demand, and prices vary alot depending on how much currency has been pumped into the league...One league usually lasts for around 3-4 months and every league is fun to play as each league introduces new mechanics into the game.

Hello all experts. 

I need to install Java into my VPS. and almost i follow all tutorials to install it but fails. so i need some expert feed back to resolve the errors. 

I share a tutorial got from Digitalocean which is most authentic and favorite but i got following outputs.




After that when i try to install java 8 . 



Anyone have solution for this?

Hello everybody,


WISECP software, which is a billing platform for web hosting industry has released a free version.
That is actually great because now small business can make the use of it, without paying anything.

https://www.wisecp.com/en/pricing

However, there is a limit in free license, which is 25 clients limit, but all other features are fully included, just like premium license.

First of all, I have to thank @[b]phoenixwolf [/b]from BladeNode Hosting for letting us test their DirectAdmin Shared Hosting. Since the cPanel keep increasing their prices it's a good idea to find a good alternative just in case. Right now DirectAdmin is the next best-paid hosting panel in the market. It's not at the same level as cPanel but if there might be a day we have to migrate if cPanel keeps increasing their prices.

It's been a long time since the last time I used DirectAdmin and looks like they have improved the interface and feature. I don't remember having too many problems with DirectAdmin as an average shared hosting user. The interface was neat and simple. I had all the basic functions I needed there so I had nothing to complain about. I have used many free panels in past and right now I use Cyberpanel. I also I do use cPanel on one of my servers.

Interface - User Friendliness

I really do love the new DirectAdmin interface. The first cluster of options is called Account Manager. It has all the basic options we need to work on when we are setting up a website. Like Domain Setup, SSL, FTP, MYSQL Management, PHP Settings, HotLink Protection, Site Redirections, etc. At cPanel, these options are clustered with related features rather than priorities. So you need to go all over the place to find options. At CyberPanel this is even bit harder in a way.

MySQL Management

Everything you need about databases cant be found under this. Flow is even quicker and easier than at cPanel. PHP MYAdmin user extra features just 2 raws below. I like how the same thing is done in CyberPanel too. Both panels do it better than cPanel but I find I can do it as cPanel faster since I'm used it for a very long time. Plus if you have been a cPanel user for a long time then you find wonder why my admin is not there. It's because 3 panels have different ways of arranging features.

Python / Node.js Installers

I find this is something really cool. There is a one-click setup process for each of these programs. It's not available by default in either cPanel or Cyberpanel. You can install it using the terminal for the cyber panel but not sure about cPanel. I know not many need this but I like it. I haven't tried It yet though.

Script Installer / Softaculous

Softaculous is usually available with cPanel and DirectAdmin. I install WP manually so it's been a while since I have used it. It's a cakewalk once you figure how to set the paths etc and very easy. CyberPanel has its own script installer and it's not bad either but not advanced as Softaculous.

PHP Options -

DirectAdmin has PHP Info options and selecting PHP version under Select PHP Version. It different from cPanel and Cyberpanel but not hard to figure if you are a first-timer but experienced hosting user. Also, there are more options in PHP Settings under accounts manager.

Conclusion -

Clearly, cPanel has a truckload of more options and features than DirectAdmin. But not every hosting user need more of these. I have been using cPanel for more than 10 years and there are options I haven't even touched yet. DirectAdmin has everything you need to run a website or websites. It's simple and easy to use for the average web hosting users. I only look at this panel as someone like that and I couldn't find a single thing that might make your life hard. So I would say DirectAdmin would be a perfect alternative for cPanel shared hosting users.
