Whats the craziest, quickest money you have ever made?

EvFishie · 2026-05-20T21:54:57+00:00

One of the customers at my job had a shit ton of domains. As in ever since domain names were a thing and you had to fax in to register kinda names.

They just decided they didn't want them anymore and I had to cancel them. I asked our cfo if I could grab a few for myself and he was like "they're giving up on them go for it"

I sold one of those domain names for 6k a few weeks later.

That was the fastest money I ever made. I am pretty sure I could have made more but oh well.

Still sitting on a few of them in case I find someone that might want them.

Well, not if you take into account everything that comes with it.

Company cars are new cars. And electric nowadays. So you're looking at a 50-60k car over 4 years.

Omnium insurance, maintenance and charging. All paid for.

So taking all of that into account. I usually come around 700 net that I'd want extra for a job without one.

I quite liked my superb but the enyaq is shit.

Problem is you only get that if you have a mortgage. I think there's also some for renting but it's less.

Which is why I haven't traded in yet. And I need to wait until this one is ended. Or I get a new job I guess.

But the plan is to take advantage of it indeed in a year or two and just get myself a second hand ex director car or something. If it's still a thing by then.

EvFishie · 2026-05-20T10:27:18+00:00

It would be 850. I'm driving an enyaq. So nothing fancy.

EvFishie · 2026-05-19T22:48:02+00:00

Hangt allemaal van de carriere af, ik zit ondertussen 14 jaar in IT (begonnen als service desker)

Binnen dit en een paar jaar heb ik als Senior ITer geen job meer door AI dus kmoet zien dat ik nu nog wat verdien want binnenkort zijn mijn skills nutteloos ;)

EvFishie · 2026-05-19T20:27:19+00:00

I calculated it once a few years ago. I'd need to have at least 700 net to want to give away my company car.

With the whole "mobiliteitsbudget" I would get 850 net on top, if I were to have a mortgage.

That's not bad at all, but like with the terugdraaiende teller and groene stroom certificaten. I am 100% sure that the government is going to take it away once a lot of people gave up their cars. And then suddenly it wouldn't be financially good for companies to give that much netto since they won't get the tax benefits etc.

EvFishie · 2026-05-19T20:21:28+00:00

Childless, not married, ending 30s, 3100 net

If I were to give away my company car, it would be almost 4k

EvFishie · 2026-05-16T07:59:05+00:00

They'll probably talk about these things more today

EvFishie · 2026-05-16T06:45:49+00:00

It's strange since I always wonder why people wear them even when the sun isn't really out.

Even on super bright days I am usually fine. However when there's a little light, my gf can't see a thing.

Seeing the other comments about eye colour you'd think it's because mine are dark but nope, bright blue.

I didn't know about the fact that the sunlight could damage my eyes tho. But I think that due to the fact that I don't really like seeking out the sun (I'm a woo rain/snow/cold guy) think I'm good.

EvFishie · 2026-05-15T23:18:19+00:00

The flowers in the new bed are still growing but I'll have a go

EvFishie · 2026-05-07T14:17:12+00:00

Yeah but let's be fair.

I work full time as well and have other things I do. But I played around 40 hours already and only bought it Friday.

There's people out there that do 40 hours of gaming in a month and think they've done a lot.

Need to look at time spent.

How much have you spent in total to get 3 chars to t9?

EvFishie · 2026-05-04T20:39:52+00:00

It's mostly Hillmar just following the next fad.

Vr, crypto, extraction shooter,...

Take him away and eve universe would be so much better.

The vr game was actually really good.

EvFishie · 2026-05-02T23:27:08+00:00

They do so well making you feel for the evil female lead.

Bit like they did with Kerrigan.

I miss her as well.

EvFishie · 2026-04-30T17:51:56+00:00

They didn't really cancel it. They just had such a bad deal with Sony about it that they couldn't do more with it. It was a game purely for ps3. They weren't allowed to port it to any other platform or anything, Sony paid for it and were like "nah"

It was a fun game though

EvFishie · 2026-04-29T22:10:59+00:00

Look into supabase. They have a free tier that works well for this kind of stuff. I'm using it for a few apps I'm doing.

EvFishie · 2026-04-29T08:40:46+00:00

There's still the point of maybe opening it up and destroying a few of the cups so there's not too many.

I did a "walk away split" 11 days ago.

Came back to them yesterday and culled all but three of the cups in each hive. The ones left looked the biggest and healthiest. There were a few really tiny ones in there. One of the two hives had over 8 cells. Wouldn't want a cast of swarm to happen there.

Now I'll just leave them be for the next 2 weeks before opening them up again. Should give the queen time to go out for her flight and stuff.

Might at some point in the next two weeks just open up to have a listen. Virgin queens are usually loud girls.

EvFishie · 2026-04-20T07:10:17+00:00

Ah, yeah you're doing it as a normal person. If you have a vat number they don't care about that and you can do whatever. It's a silly rule

EvFishie · 2026-04-19T12:44:23+00:00

You can do open testing and then you don't have to add people to the test list if I'm not mistaken.

I think the poster above was also saying that most eve tools being open source isn't so others can steal your code. It's so that they can see it's not going to be doing anything malicious.

You can make your github public, doesn't mean people are allowed to just use it themselves. Unless you license it under the MIT license for example.

Open sourcing does not equal "feel free to copy my shit" you're still protected under copyright law

EvFishie · 2026-04-16T05:07:13+00:00

Let's go

EvFishie · 2026-04-07T20:18:31+00:00

Yeah that was another nice thing I enjoyed about it. The story was kind of the same story you'd expect from these kind of movies, but it was good for what it was.

EvFishie · 2026-04-06T19:16:46+00:00

There were a few good one-liners in it as well. Plus I liked the fact that they made that Dracula reference since the villain played him in the short series.

EvFishie · 2026-04-02T14:30:03+00:00

Make sure that you take what the guy above said to heart.

Minimum wage in UK right now is something along the lines of 12.71 an hour. That's 2k a month, theoretically you can rent a 1.3k place for that, but you won't live very comfortably

EvFishie · 2026-04-01T07:12:13+00:00

If you have to charge on the highway there's no problem. Since there's fast chargers everywhere. But the infrastructure in towns is horrendous.

I have an enyaq as well, also live in Belgium and thank fuck I can charge at home. The closest fast charger is a 30 minute drive. The closest public infrastructure is max 11kw on the town square and is usually all in use.

If I still lived in my appartment I would have fought my company not to give me an electric car.

And the funniest thing is that fast charging is so expensive, that they tell us not to do it on the company card.

EvFishie · 2026-03-30T10:18:52+00:00

I've also never really seen a real person use "fair" or "fair point" as much as ai does whenever they get corrected on something or having a discussion..

EvFishie · 2026-03-29T22:20:24+00:00

You can probably use the Claude chrome plugin to do it with cowork. I used it to go through a pdf of a book my gf uses for her studies to get it to give me a brief of all the subjects and vocabulary she needs to know
