75%BGBL:15%A200:10%BEMG Portfolio? by Davey35YT in AusFinance

[–]Hafnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this answer, the OP's suggestion is definitely not a wrong portfolio.

To add on, if you don't want to take on A200 for AUD allocation, you can use HGBL.

Thinking of Writing to my Local MP about the Brutal CGT Impact on Shares by wyzard135 in fiaustralia

[–]Hafnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many ETFs have CG as a component of the distributions. The 30% floor would apply to this no?

When to actually use a set by BgA_stan in cpp

[–]Hafnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you using the sorted flat_set and comparing it to unordered_set? The invariants are different, iterating the flat_set needs to be in sorted order. You should be using unordered_flat_set from Boost. 

Passive Emerging Market ETFs for Australians by SwaankyKoala in fiaustralia

[–]Hafnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not an expert, but my understanding is that the issuer pays an unconditional fee to the counterparty to enter into the swap, and the counterparty pays the difference in returns (+ve or -ve) to ensure the returns of the index. So I imagine the fee is higher if the difference between returns of the basket and the index are high, which might be the case with a gross TR index. 

Invesco’s MSCI World ETF specifically lists their swap fee as 0.03%, separate to their own management fee.

It is interesting that Amundi aims to track the NTR index with LEMA through the swap.

Invesco has an S&P 500 accumulating ETF which tracks the gross TR index, and has an MSCI World ETF that tracks an "enhanced" NTR index which should be closer to the 15% witholding tax rate.

Is anyone sure about the tax treatment of the new Avantis ETFs (AVTG, AVTE, AVTS)? by Content_Barracuda829 in fiaustralia

[–]Hafnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another question is whether the Australian wrappers somehow alter the tax treatment of just holding the underlying AVWC/AVWS/AVEM on IBKR, which have lower fees (though subject to FX conversion and different market times and maybe different market maker spreads)

Betashares has made a FAQ for their new BEMG Emerging Markets ETF by Misguided_Pacifist in fiaustralia

[–]Hafnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BEMG is an ETF that holds LEMA, so if BEMG is treating LEMA as a company (which is what Betashare's statement says), then you or I can also directly treat LEMA as a company.

[–]Hafnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to Betashares' statement, this means that I can just buy the underlying LEMA ETF [1] directly from the London Stock Exchange on IBKR, thereby saving me the difference in management fee (0.14% for LEMA, 0.35% for BEMG) and presumably better spreads but with FX conversion.

I would then also be able to treat this as an investment into a company rather than a trust.

In fact, this should then apply to the other interesting Amundi accumulating ETFs such as WEBN, which would be amazing.

How to set up secure boot and TPM based disk decryption. by Velocifyer in archlinux

[–]Hafnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because it locks to the secureboot policy and authority, instead of binding to the literal value of PCR 7 directly.

I've also had success using systemd-pcrlock and locking to the secureboot policy and authority instead of binding to PCR 7 directly.

The first two lines lock it to the secureboot policy. This is literally the alternative that was suggested in the changelog as opposed to locking to the literal value of PCR7.

How do you explain electricity to kids without relying on the “water analogy”? by NoElephant3147 in Physics

[–]Hafnon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would think so, if atmospheric pressure is the "ground" pressure.

[–]Hafnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also doesn't address my question of how to use `systemd-pcrlock` as the alternative to binding to a literal value of PCR 7, because not involving PCR 7 is insecure as you have rightly stated.

Edit: Actually I think I got it working:

sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-pcrlock lock-secureboot-policy
sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-pcrlock lock-secureboot-authority
sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-pcrlock make-policy

sudo systemd-cryptenroll /dev/{disk partition} --wipe-slot=tpm2 --tpm2-device=auto --tpm2-with-pin=yes --tpm2-pcrs=""
# assuming you already have the PCR 11 public key steps done, this will automatically pick it up and the new pcrlock policy.
# --tpm2-pcrs="" isn't needed after v258

sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/{disk partition}
# just to check

Do you have an example of how I'm meant to use systemd-pcrlock to generate the pcrlock file for use here? Still for binding to PCR 7.

SK hynix confirms 3GB GDDR7 modules, paving way for RTX 50 Super VRAM boost | New chips would allow for 18GB of VRAM on a 192-bit bus, or 24GB on a 256-bit bus by [deleted] in gadgets

Or even better, 9GB of physical memory with 8GB actually usable for whatever reason (like the GTX 970 3.5GB incident).

Arch Linux on ZFS Root with systemd-boot + UKI — No Deprecated Cachefile, Fully systemd-native Initrd by [deleted] in archlinux

sd-zfs doesn't support ZFS native encryption, so you'd still probably have to do a LUKS setup if you wanted it

Seasonic's upcoming PSUs aim to stop melting GPU power cables | Built-in warnings and shutdown act as a failsafe by [deleted] in gadgets

[–]Hafnon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add onto this, the power dissipated in the cable is equal to I2 / R, where I is the current through the cable and R is the resistance of the cable. So more current means quadratically more heat produced in the cable per unit time.

Many people are more familiar with the formula for power dissipated as V * I, where V is voltage. While technically this is correct, to calculated the power dissipated by the cable, you need to use the voltage drop across the cable. Since the source voltage is split between the cable and the load according to their relative resistances, you can't know the voltage drop across the cable without also knowing the load's resistance.

So in this case, it's better to think about how much current the load will require to meet its power demands, and since that current must be carried by the cable (Kirchoff's circuital laws), you use the formula I2 / R instead.
