HELP NEEDED!! World Financial Group

For context I got roped in from a friend and 3 months in I realised it’s an MLM. Crazy how I was told it’s not and pressured to believe the business. My question is.

1. I have my LLQP exam this week from Durham College. Am I able to get a refund?

2. How do I quit this business? Is there a cancel button somehow? I let my SMD know and he wasn’t very happy about this and tried to gaslight me thinking I have the wrong friends and mindset to not believe in the business.

Please please help a brother out 🙏🏼

Not a first time user but a first time e-transfer. App said 30 minutes. Money went out my bank account but nowhere to be found on qtrade not even as a pending. Apparently the money went to [compliance-emails@questrade.com](mailto:compliance-emails@questrade.com) which is odd.

Did I get scammed somehow? Their support is offline for the day and I am freaking out. I should have kept doing the old wire method....

Hi All,

I have a simple question. Who is using 407 so much that it is so crowded all the time? The reason I am asking is I was charged a bill of $116 for a round trip to Mississauga from Markham on a weekday evening. $116 for a round trip of 120kms!! I can get two full tanks of gas and drive 1100 kms for that amount l. I was so disgusted and infuriated that they are allowed to charge so much for a toll. Yet, I wonder how is 407 so crowded everyday during rush hour? Do people pay tolls everyday? At that rate, I can see the tools going into 4 figures a month. That's so crazy. Do people actually pay a toll bill of that amount every month?

For example let's say you owned AAVXF (OTC) before Abivax became dual listed from Europe to USA. Now that it's dual listed you can buy ABVX (ADS/ADR).

If you own 1 AAVXF can you journal it to ABVX in Questrade?

Got reminded to ugh at this again today because an old subscription that archived 'ParaPara' DVD segments finally updated for the first time in...13 years.

Checked out some of the old vids that I saw long ago and they've been so mangled that it's shameful. I'll have to dig up my last archive next time I'm near my disc hoard.

The uploads were originally pretty much 'dvdrip' quality back then, and it's not a case of 'Ehh...you had lower standards Back In The Day' :(

I’m from Manitoba, planning to soon move to Ontario. Don’t have a degree or diploma but wanna get one.

Have done some odds jobs nothing impressive

Wanna hear on thoughts what does people in Ontario do to earn a good living in today’s tough times?

I do wanna go back to college to get a diploma or degree in IT . Don’t know what’s the best way or if I really do get one in IT .

Hi everyone, my internship in Waterloo was just cancelled 2 weeks before starting but I already signed a sublease for a two periods one in summer one in winter, and made the first month down payment. Finding a new job aside... since I won't be living in Waterloo anymore, what do I do?

edit: Guy I was renting from was kind enough to end the contract

Just got offered this as the final offer (from one of the big 5's) for my upcoming renewal. Happy to hear from folks on this board if this is a good one and/or if there are others that should look into.

Renewing in 2 weeks from now.

If you’re going to rip me off, at least be punctual. Honestly don’t think I will ever come back to questrade no matter what match they offer.

Hopefully CIRO starts regulating this, but regardless I can’t trust a brokerage that's going to do this.

Both IBKR and wealthsimple have processed full account transfers for me in under 5 business days. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE

Already posted this on the r/TerraMaster sub but think it's worth posting here too...

Sharing this because I nearly missed it entirely, and I think people should know about it.

I was doing some maintenance on my NAS, migrating from SMB to NFS, and while SSHing around to find the NFS export path, I noticed two suspicious entries in the shared folder user permissions list. They weren't usernames. They were shell commands.

How it got in

My TOS web UI had been exposed to the internet for a while before I got WireGuard set up (tnas.online). At some point, an automated scanner found it and exploited a command injection vulnerability in the shared folder permissions UI. TOS doesn't sanitise input in the username fields, so the attacker submitted shell commands as fake usernames and the backend executed them when applying the permission configuration.

Two injections were used. The first staged a ransomware binary at `/mnt/te` and an RSA public key at `/mnt/public.key`. The second wrote a PHP file upload web shell to `/usr/www/upp.php`.

How it was designed to work

The binary (`/mnt/te`) was a statically linked, stripped ELF. Strings inside suggest ransomware: Chacha20 key expansion constants, RSA/decryption references, "decryption error" strings. The RSA public key would have been used to encrypt a symmetric key, making decryption impossible without paying. The web shell was the persistence mechanism. It accepts POST requests to write arbitrary files anywhere under `/mnt/` with optional chmod, so the attacker could upload new payloads whenever they wanted.

Why it failed

The binary is x86-64. The F2-210 is aarch64. It cannot execute on this hardware. That's the only reason the NAS wasn't encrypted. The web shell also had no hits in the nginx access logs, so it was never called either, probably because the binary failing meant there was nothing to follow up with.

What I found

- `/mnt/te` - ransomware binary (1.1MB, x86-64 ELF)

- `/mnt/public.key` - 4096-bit RSA public key

- `/usr/www/upp.php` - PHP file upload web shell

- Two malicious rows in `/etc/base/nasdb` (the TOS SQLite config database) injected as fake usernames

How to clean it up if you find the same thing

Deleting the fake users through the TOS UI doesn't work. They come back on every reboot because TOS regenerates its config from the SQLite database at startup. You have to delete them directly via SSH:

```bash

sudo sqlite3 /etc/base/nasdb "DELETE FROM user_table WHERE username='[malicious entry]';"

```

Then delete the binary, public key, and web shell manually, and confirm they're gone after a reboot.

The obvious bit

Don't expose your TOS web UI to the internet. TOS 4 is a 2019 Linux 4.4 kernel and will never get security patches. This vulnerability almost certainly still exists. If you need remote access, put it behind WireGuard or a VPN first.

I'm on TOS 4.2.44, but this looks like a fundamental input sanitisation failure that's probably been there for years, so I wouldn't assume newer TOS 4 versions are safe.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

I think I've got everything, but happy to be told otherwise. Data appears intact, no evidence of lateral movement, SSH logs on my main server look clean. My main worry is whether there are persistence mechanisms I haven't found. The database and filesystem checks came back clean, but this is a black-box proprietary OS and I'm not a security professional.

Happy to share more details if useful.

My parents are financially well off and retired, with limited expenses. I'm a single mom with three youngish kids. They want to gift me some money to help take the burden off, which is very kind of them! What do I need to know? Is there a yearly/lifetime amount they can gift without penalties (to me or them?)

I recently got into investing, I am 20 years old and I can put aside about $100-200 each month towards my TFSA. Currently I'm using wealthsimple for investing and after some research I was told to invest into VEQT. Any advice or tips would help.

Strategy has acquired 34,164 BTC for ~$2.54 billion at ~$74,395 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 9.5% YTD 2026. As of 4/19/2026, we hodl 815,061 BTC acquired for ~$61.56 billion at ~$75,527 per bitcoin.

I know they haven't announced anything officially, and it may never happen (they just have approval) but was surprised to see QUESTRADE also planning to offer it.

Quote from the G&M aritcle:
Today Wealthsimple is allowed to offer a limited form of betting. Who knows what it will be allowed to do tomorrow? Hot on the heels of Wealthsimple, Questrade has said it wants to enter the market as well.

→ sounds like this is fact as the Globe does their research!

Howdy r/DataHoarder!

I wanted to share an updated look at Jcorp Nomad, a tiny open source offline media server I have been developing over the last year. The idea behind the project has always been simple, it gives you a small self hosted way to carry part of your library with you and access it over a local Wi-Fi hotspot, entirely offline, through a browser based interface. Users connect with their phone, tablet, or laptop and stream content directly off the onboard storage.

For a lot of hoarders, the interesting part is not that it replaces a full server (because it absolutely does not), but that you can throw it in a bag, hand it to someone, bring it on a trip, use it in a car, or set it up anywhere you dont want to depend on internet or a bigger machine. Thats really the niche its trying to fill.

Nomad supports Movies, Shows, Books, Music, images, and files. Multiple users can connect at once, each browsing and streaming through the web interface independently. Its designed to be simple to use, easy to modify, and friendly to DIY builders. All of the code and designs are open source and well documented.

The biggest thing to be clear about is what Nomad is not, its not meant to be a long term archive or a replacement for proper backups. It runs on microSD storage, so speed and file system limits still apply. FAT32 means files need to stay under 4 GB, which lines up with the hardware anyway since transfer speeds are limited. Its not very powerful, and it wont handle every possible media setup, there are encoding guidelines to follow if you want the best results.

That said this project ends up being way more useful to people who already have a lot of content on hand... thats you.. you have a ton of content.. I know you do.

Nomad is really happiest around 480p, where you can expect about 6 to 8 simultaneous streams. At 720p, that typically drops to around 2 to 4 depending on content and devices. Under ideal conditions, 2 simultaneous 1080p60 streams is about the practical limit. Keep in mind these numbers are based on testing in my college dorm room... so depending on how congested your environment is, you might see slightly better or worse results.

Its not built for UHD and yeah I know some of you just felt physical pain reading “480p”... but the goal here was to cram a ton of content onto an SD card and make it actually usable offline. Lower bitrate, efficient encodes go a long way here. You already have your big computer with all your big fat hard drives for 4k... this isnt meant to replace that.

A few of the core features, definitely recomend checking out the github for more details:

• Admin Panel: full device controls, library indexing, theme customization
• Global Search: quickly find media across all categories
• Music: all songs list, playlists (supports singles, /artist/playlist, artist singles), and a queue
• Movies and Shows: video playback with season and special support
• Books: EPUB, PDF, mp3, and a comic reader with webtoon format support
• Resume: saves playback progress for movies and shows
• Gallery and Files: image viewing, video clips, and general file sharing
• Captive Portal: automatic redirect for easy access (just connect and it pops up)
• Persistent Settings: themes and system config saved across reboots
• Dark/Light mode: user controlled theme in addition to the admin panel customization
• Up to 2TB SD card storage

The kinds of use cases I keep coming back to are travel, road trips, classrooms, camping, and other offline setups where you want to share a library without logins, installs, or setup. Its designed to be very user friendly for everyone but you... no accounts, no setup on the user side. Everything is handled in the browser, with data stored locally in cache and nothing sent back to the device. The focus is to make it as simple and seamless as possible once its up and running.

The case can be 3D printed, and the files are up on Thingiverse here.

If you are curious, the project is open source and the build instructions + more info are below:

Project page and prebuilt units: https://nomad.jcorptech.net (please just DIY its easy I promise)

The project is still in development so I would love to hear what features you would want to see, or just your thoughts in general!

Thanks for checking it out!

Gotta love it when your mothers been in a waiting room whit a broken foot since 7pm ITS NOW 5AM!!! THESE FUCK ASS WAIT TIMES KEEP GETTING LONGER AND NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING FOR HER!?!?

I owed 5k when I filed 2024 taxes last year and I immediately paid the full amount on April 29th 2025 to avoid any installment interest. Now, I recently filed 2025 taxes and I see $180 of "Installment Interest" being added to my total amount owed. I tried calling them but it seems they are not sure what this means too. Please help me understand what is this I am being charged for. I want to pay it in full this year as well.

Morgan Stanley just pulled off its most successful ETF launch in the firm's history

MSBT crossed $100M+ in net inflows in its first six trading days since going live on April 8th.

Key Factors

→ It's the cheapest spot BTC ETF on the market. At 0.14%, MSBT undercuts BlackRock's IBIT (0.25%) and resets the fee benchmark for institutional Bitcoin exposure.

→ It's the first spot BTC ETF issued by a major US bank

→ Distribution is the real story here. Every financial advisor at Morgan Stanley is now armed with a cheap, in-house bitcoin wrapper to put in front of clients

Bitcoin is being absorbed into the traditional financial system faster than most people realize
