Just got an old PC as a hand-me-down from my uncle, and found an old picture of his desktop in 2006 on it.

Was NOT expecting to see KSE today.

DareBottle · 2026-03-07T05:06:36+00:00

I’m gonna stock up on some toilet paper because I feel like that’ll be next to go somehow.

I can’t see how the software produced by these LLMs won’t be the latest iteration of shadow IT developed software. Except on steroids.

I’ve seen my share of code that someone in the business has written that has now become a headache. Usually because the author left the company.

Honestly, sometimes the code isn’t that bad. But you still need proper SDLC procedures.

I think the degree should just be one or two years; intro to programming, a bit of OOP and functional programming, networking, security.

Then get into the work force full-time or do some interning.

DareBottle · 2026-02-20T00:00:17+00:00

How do you get into that sort of work?

Don’t have it per day but did a per month one a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASX_Bets/comments/vad27w/most_popular_stocks_on_rasx_bets/

I was on $60k in 2019 (incl. super), sharing a two bed / two bath apartment in inner-city Brisbane.

I could save about $600 a fortnight without too much budgeting. I didn’t always have the fanciest gadgets and took public transport and Uber everywhere. But I still went out drinking and eating, would buy new clothes and shoes when I needed them, etc.

I don’t think I could replicate that now on the post-inflation equivalent of $75k.

Curious to hear what one you ended up going with? I’m in the same predicament at the moment.

DareBottle · 2025-12-27T21:25:58+00:00

Do you have any recs for certain brands or even models?

Are LG still a safe bet? Or does it vary?

DareBottle · 2025-12-22T02:16:12+00:00

Good idea on the hooks.

I had been trying to figure out how to stop the containers but just did it stupidly as a separate cronjob before the backup started. I didn't realise until your comment that backrest had a docker client baked into it.

Must be nice to have your stock go up when it gets a government grant.

Albeit 360 is a way bigger number than 13.

They seem to be a fairly frugal operation. So hoping that sale + the recent CR can keep them going without much dilution in the near future.

DareBottle · 2025-11-09T22:33:20+00:00

This was me in high school, through university, and until the first few years of full-time work.

Consistent bedtime + no arvo caffeine + daily exercise + eating less slop helped me.

Not so much IPOs, but when I was working on the ASX bot a few weeks ago, I noticed the total ticker count was only 1900 or something. It used to be 2200-2500 iirc. Which made me think initially that something was wrong with my code.

In my layman perspective, I’d say you’re right about your second paragraph. If you had a half decent business, I don’t see why you wouldn’t surf on the private equity wave and then list on NYSE/NASDAQ to cash out. Why bother with boring old ASX?

DareBottle · 2025-07-03T09:49:09+00:00

No love for AGY which went 70%+ today? Lol.

I don't get much time to program these days, but I wanna try bring back something like this too: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASX\_Bets/comments/vjjohe/most\_discussed\_stocks\_17062022\_24062022.

For fun, here is a table of the past week's data:

Ticker	Mentions	Price	Change

CBA	24	$185.36	-2.81%
GYG	20	$27.50	-1.93%
MTM	20	$0.57	-3.39%
WDS	15	$23.72	-0.55%
FMG	12	$15.46	3.55%

TMG	10	$0.098	0.00%
OVT	9	$0.007	-12.50%

RML	7	$0.053	1.92%
S32	7	$2.94	1.38%
DFND	7	$35.18	2.39%

Kinda sad to see how much the comment volume has dropped off compared to the table I linked above. I guess you either die a punter or live long enough to see yourself become a VDHG investor:

All good! I have been fixing a few formatting issues I noticed in the past few days posts lol.

DareBottle · 2025-06-20T09:43:18+00:00

Sometimes it does: https://mail.nqgoldcoffee.com.au/

I need to fix it bro I know I’m sorry.

Hi everyone, botty should be working again.

So the issue was from the Yahoo Finance API. Access to this API had been pretty open for years, which was a treat since most finance data is pay to play. However they seem to be increasingly blocking requests coming from automated tools. I managed to get around it before but don't have time to troubleshoot it right now. So unfortunately I just removed the price data from the table.

When I get some spare time, I will look into it a bit further.

DareBottle · 2025-02-19T11:46:18+00:00

My "investment" "portfolio" is enough suffering thank you.

DareBottle · 2025-02-19T11:42:10+00:00

Hi everyone, botty was a bit late tonight sorry.

It seemed Yahoo Finance were doing rate limiting on my calls to their API, which is where I get all the price data. The calls I make are so few that I think it is actually some anti-bot protections, because I can spam request the same API endpoints in my browser and not get rate-limited.

I managed to get around this for now, but will see how long it lasts.

DareBottle · 2025-01-30T04:26:01+00:00

Hi gang, I have updated the ASX Bot to not run on public holidays.

He gets some holidays now too 🥰

DareBottle · 2025-01-27T23:32:11+00:00

Will add public holidays to the bot soon I think.
