@movq@www.uninformativ.de An eBPF logger would do the trick here 👌

@bender@twtxt.net This is true!

@bender@twtxt.net That’s precisely what I’m talking about. Investing in good businesses that are well established. If they also produce an income in the form of a distribution or dividend, that that’s even better. YOu can have some tax benefits too if you do it right. But the trap? (I think) is falling into this false sense of security of thinking you can leverage up to the bank’s LVR (Loan to Value Ratio) only to get caught up. Best to be conservative so you can take the wild swings and obviously diversity.

@bender@twtxt.net No I meant like a “savings account” 🤣 You guys (us) are lucky I guess? A savings account here in Oz barely gets you 0.35%pa to 1.5%pa depending on how much money you have in it (0-$10k, $10-20k, $20-$30k, up to $50k)

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net wut?!

@adi@twtxt.net putting money into a bank account that earns interest is also called investing 😆

income producing assets 👌 The math works out if you’re conservative and don’t over leverage 😅

Not betting on the market no.

@bender@twtxt.net Is it really gambling though if you’re investing long-term? How is it any different from borrowing money from the bank to. buy property? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Haha

@bender@twtxt.net It did indeed, except I fell over the car’s trailer hitch on my shin, fuck that hurt 😞 thank god I didn’t break my leg (just badly bruised)

It was the first project I ever wrote in Go 😆

@shreyan@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

@xuu What would you consider to be “over leveraging”? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fuxk 🤬

Why don’t more people borrow to invest and increase their portfolio and wealth? 🤔

@eapl.me@eapl.me Nice 👌 Add it to https://feeds.twtxt.net/ 😅

@shreyan@twtxt.net Hmmm?

I use Plex Amp 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net He’s actually used to Wordpad and Rich Text Format files 🤔

Made this awful mistake of not doing pre-prep work before going away on our next camper trip (now). Discovered this morning that some (idiot) person had turned off the power to the camper trailer and the battery was basically dead. I just hope it’s not “dead dead”. We plan to leave after 4hrs of Bulk Charge from the mains power and it’s internal battery charger and hope for the best. I’m also brining a spare 12.8V LifePo4 battery that is basically full to power the fridge, just in case. Fark I’m an idiot 🤦‍♂️

@mckinley@twtxt.net He likes it enough which is good. The painful part is some OSS software just really sucks ass 😢 He’s found it particularly hard to find a decent “document” editor/tool he likes. He’s stuck with Abiword for now, but it’s not the most polished ir easiest to use. It also saves things in a really weird non-portable? format?

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ubuntu

@mckinley@twtxt.net Agreed. I’m just glad my dad has finally gotten out of the Windows ecosystem 😅

This whole “data commodity” has gone too far.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Well yes, true, but not my primary point. Microsoft really needs to pull their head out of their ass. Toyota, BMW, Samsung and even Apple to some extent. Companies need to understand a basic economic rule: If a customer buys your product X, they really don’t expect to have to pay for (useless) service Y in order to use product X. I’m looking at you BMW and Toyota, both have attempted to do this and somewhat failed at a consumer level. I wonder why 🤦‍♂️

Now Microsoft?! C’mon. For fuck’s sake. If I buy a new “today” computer of some kind. I expect to be able to use it “offline” if I want. I’m not going to be forced into paying for a subscription or handing over all my personal information to some stupid tech company that has no business whatsoever treating me as “their product”.

@mckinley@twtxt.net LOL Nice 😊

If this goes ahead, it will really give new meaning to “PC ownership” 🤬

Like none whatsoever 🤦‍♂️

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net

lack the words in any of the languages I know to describe the utter disdain I have for this.

How about “fuck off Microsoft” 🤣 Or even “get the fuck out”🤣

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com That is pretty cool 👌

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Well, I see no issue with this personally 😅

I ban all forms of social media in our household 🤣

Adults and visitors included! 🤣

@shreyan@twtxt.net Good! 👌

Looking forward to the extra long weekend coming up 🤞

How about the you?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s just a simple config file subscriptions.yaml for me and the program run on a cron. This basically lets me subscribe to, download and keep in sync various channels I’m interested in and store them wherever I want. The nice thing is the output format / presets are done in such a way as to support media servers like Plex or Jellyfin out-of-the-box.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I use ytdlp-sub

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pretty cool tree house 🏠

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Do you really need to rely on RSS? You could just run a daily cron like I do?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool 😎

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh boi, here we go 🙄

@bender@twtxt.net Well to be precise, people form companies 😅 And companies are comprised of people 🤣

So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net These are not beinged pull via ActivityPub. I disabled the integration long ago myself on my pod. There is a Mastodon instance or two out there that serves up Twtxt feeds. Someone my pod has subscribed to those, I think that’s what’s happening here…

I’m open to suggestions

@bender@twtxt.net My point precisely 🤣 ZFS is ZFS no matter what Branded OS runs it 🤣

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net meh in my opinion you don’t buy into the things that TrueNAS deploys, namely ZFS because of BSD. ZOL or ZFS on Linux is and has been pretty rock solid for decades now. There’s no reason for BSD specifically over Linux for a highly available and fault tolerant file system at TB or PB scale.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I see

@eapl.me@eapl.me pretty cool 👌

@xuu It doesn’t seem to state it supports WebDAV though? 🤔 (at least not in the App Storw deac)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Goos point 👍

@xuu@txt.sour.is And what’s this Joplin thing? 🤔

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I’ve tried it, unfortunately it kind of sucks.
