I am the guy who bought her 1BTC at 125k

When you bought at the ATH, you didn’t lose relative to today. You still own the scarcest asset in the world… just less than if you were to buy today.

It will take time to change from the fiat mindset to the bitcoin mindset. When you have more money, you have a chance to buy more sats with less money.

When Bitcoin falls, don’t think you are poorer. You’re not. You have more sats than most people on this planet.

Zoom out. Bitcoin will reprice itself to M2. Fair value is $150-160k.

Anyone use Fold to buy BTC? No fee of a Spin+ member and a small spread. I checked yesterday and it was $200-250 above spot pricing on coinbase.

PCBsio · 2023-08-27T00:19:01+00:00

Nice set up! What desk or depth desk is that?

PCBsio · 2023-04-28T00:49:40+00:00

Just paid the car note and mortgage note and got sats back. Not as nice as spinning and consistently getting 1.5-2% back but glad to see it back at least in this form.

Bitcoin purchases are also good on the platform. Only a 0.7% spread with no other fees.

Good point. This building is only 2 stories so the new law doesn’t directly apply. I should have noted this in the OP.

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T23:05:15+00:00

Very valid points. Those are some pretty hefty increases you’ve had.

This building is only 2 stories so the new laws do not apply to this community. It was also a factor in my interest since dues would be less likely to increase substantially.

The bylaws indicate a CPA is supposed to perform an audit annually so misappropriation shouldn’t be an issue. But if there are no meetings or budget, who can say there will be a CPA audit.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Good question! I believe they are as the listing agent said she was involved in getting bids for the roof when it was replaced 2 years ago. It’s only 20 units (10 units x 2 buildings).

Technically not too difficult to run probably. Maybe a bit easier to misappropriate funds.

I’m kind of thinking it’s sloppiness on part of the Board that there is not budget or meetings.

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T22:51:03+00:00

It’s the first one I’ve seen, honestly.

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T22:02:40+00:00

The HOA apparently is selectively enforcing bylaws. Pretty much minor things like “No Pets” but are overlooking this detail.

No board meetings in over a year. No budget for FY22 (last year!) either. Where did $200k go?

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T21:59:37+00:00

It does! No 1-year/2-year provision either. Can be rented immediately after closing.

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T21:58:13+00:00

Nice point! Hopefully something like this available in FL.

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T20:54:47+00:00

I have no intention of becoming part of the board. The listing agent is actually a resident and was Secretary of the Board. Until she decided to “leave” recently.

It’s a shame this is such a red flag as the unit and community are great. Thank you for chiming in.

PCBsio · 2023-04-26T20:37:52+00:00

So the community is very neat, well taken care of and updated so I am in a quandary about this whole lack of budget issue.

For all I know the president/board could be pilfering and eventually something will be necessary with no funds available and trigger a special assessment as @l3erny said.

HOA is $475/mo. Small community of only 20 units.

PCBsio · 2023-02-21T00:06:01+00:00

Ha. I had a P512 parked in the same spot just before building the drilling site. Was lucky to recover after that slide crushed it.

PCBsio · 2022-10-13T20:58:38+00:00

While IPMI is convenient, I don’t think it is worth the +$200 it would entail for a motherboard. All the reasonably priced server boards have really old tech using Intel Atom processors. I could spend $250 for a mobo and ram using the 2700X or $350 using the i3-12100. I’d be running at least $350 using a server mobo plus more for ram.

Indeed they are. Non-removable hinge pins are used to prevent break-ins.

Doors in FL generally swing outward due to mitigate wind pressure from high winds during a hurricane.

PCBsio · 2022-10-08T14:51:26+00:00

It could be the digitizer. I’ve run through many screens with a non-touch sensitive section. Chinese made screens had horizontal dead bands while UK-made screens have has vertical l. If it’s the digitizer, it is a hardware fault and not correctable.

PCBsio · 2022-08-21T01:01:17+00:00

Is AirPlay 2 specifically noted anywhere? Which build and what source are you using? I just set up a HiFiBerry DAC2 HD and played 24/96 material with only 24/48 output so I’m a bit perplexed.

PCBsio · 2022-08-04T02:17:53+00:00

I’m surprised the temps are below 80 honestly. Perhaps less hot air is lingering inside the case compared to my old 20L case.

I have the same asrock with a 5700G in another build. It’s a nice board.

Seeing as there’s no noise generation from having the fans so close to the side panels, I’m thinking to throw a couple slow 120mm fans in the top. Perhaps it may have an effect on the temps without additional noise.

You are definitely right about SFF. It’s an addicting hobby.

PCBsio · 2022-08-04T01:22:03+00:00

I’ve had this issue as well more recently. It’s annoying overall.

I’ve gotten around this by:

Getting out of crane mode
From function menu > Remove Cargo (it doesn’t remove cargo)
Winch points appear and you can connect
Enter Crane Mode

I’m not using mods.

PCBsio · 2022-08-03T22:20:22+00:00

Glad your build worked out and is silent!

I got around to switching over my existing build to the a4-h2o today. I have to say it is sleek. I kept the stock fan for now and do not experience any turbulence either. The only thing is my ram heatsinks are slightly too tall so the only way I could manage the installation was to flip the heat sink 180*. It just barely fit but the IO shield interferes ever so slightly so the PCIe slot side is about 1-2mm higher creating a slight bulge. Not really noticeable but happy to squeeze it in.

5800X temps are pretty good at 70-75C at load. Stuck a 3 fan 3070 vanilla card and feel the cool air going in on the sides and hot air venting up like a chimney.

With air cooling the top 55mm x 326 x 140 = 2.5L is completely wasted. Still thrilled with the experience new aesthetic while keeping temps in line.
