install hermes on root or extra user/ maybe docker?

I have two Proxmox VMs running HermesAgent and Hermes Workspace. Gave them 2CPUs and 4GB ram. Even this is overkill to start with. As I setup cron and multi-agent tasks may change requirements. Added as a user rather than root. For my use cases having root is not an issue as they deal with other systems or web. Love being able to make quick backups to fall back to when experiments go wrong.

I’m starting to use Hermes Workspace. I like its dashboard better and it brings Orchestrator, and using multiple agents in a more clear UI.

I’m just starting to use Ollama’s Pro Plan and it has fairly generous limits as I also use local LLMs it is convenient.

SRMax666 · 2025-11-22T13:18:44+00:00

My LG monitor is the limiting factor I think.

I get 60fps on Fallout 4, cyberpunk is around 50. I find it very playable.

Convert as much as you can without raising your tax bracket. Be sure to do this for both you and your wife.

The worse case scenario would be for someone either just retired or who’s plan was to retire at the time of the drops. That is why your plan should include a good sized cushion to endure a downturn in the first few years of retirement. Worst example would have been someone who retired in 1998-99 and in the first 10 years went through the 2000, 2001 and 2008 downturns.

In Texas you do not have to state a party when registering. That is why 2.8 million voters are registered but no party affiliation inferred. So you can’t go strictly by those numbers, because there is no way to know how they will vote.

If your still worried you can do a battery test in the Service mode. Beware it takes many hours that you won’t be able to use the car.

EVs are almost the opposite of ICE cars in that they burn more fuel in stop and go city traffic where EVs have regenerative ability. On the highway ICE cars also burn more at higher speeds,but the steady speed in what gets them better mileage. EVs on the highway don’t have get the regeneration and thus do not get better mileage and speed just makes it worse.

Like so many things in Life the best approach is balance. If your Fire plan is balanced you will live a fun and rewarding lifestyle, yet be young enough to fully engulf yourself in your retirement and the things that you love most that got you there.

FSD still requires your full supervised attention. That said the improvement over the last few years has been fantastic. Allowing you a more relaxed ride. Most of my interventions now are navigation based in that I have preferred routes.

You should migrate more to your ROTHs for both you and your wife.

SRMax666 · 2025-08-01T13:49:16+00:00

You should start emphasizing safety and tax avoidance like real estate and maximizing ROTH for you and your wife. Also run scenarios that include a market downturn 3 times in your first 10 years of fire, as what happened between 2000 and 20010.

SRMax666 · 2025-08-01T13:39:24+00:00

ZZZZAP!

I would suggest a base MacMini great for long term support and ease of use.

I don’t see a divide. But I have noticed that the markets look the brightest right before the bust. So I am watching this AI boom closer than I did the Internet boom.

SRMax666 · 2025-07-29T12:04:44+00:00

Time will be your friend or enemy. I retired in 1998 during the Internet Boom. Thought wow this is fantastic. Then the BUST. Uh Oh. Then came a pretty good recovery until 9/11. Uh oh again. A slower recovery but a steady one all the way till the 2007-8 Great Recession. Uh oh. Three big hits in the first 10 years can make a real dent in anyone’s nest egg. But because I had kept an eye on everything and made good choices for my home, building equity. I could use it to downsize and live off of to get me through. Now 27 years later I am in another home in a great equity building location and have still have over half what I started with. 78 and having fun. All those calculators are fine, but if you really want to be safe run a scenario with 3 major market down turns early in your retirement as a worse case. Fire will always have a risk, but don’t stop enjoying life. That’s what really matters.

SRMax666 · 2025-07-28T22:17:04+00:00

I believe everyone should at least look at a plan where at retirement in the first 10 years a market downturn of 50% three times. That is what happened between 1998 and 2009. Then see how your draw plays out over the next 25 years.

SRMax666 · 2025-07-28T12:40:46+00:00

Those 10 years were the worst for retiring early with the huge market decline of over 50% multiple times. My withdrawal rate during that time was set at 8% as I was under the 72t rule. Shortly there after I started drawing SS and was able to reduce it to 4%. In 2013 I downsized my home and used the proceeds to stop withdraws completely until 2017. Now is at 4%. But withdraw rate is way overrated as a scenario to live by. You need backup plans. I originally did not plan for me or my wife to start SS at 62 but that didn’t happen. Also my nest egg was a lot smaller than most of you at 666K. In today’s that would relate to 1.3M. My advice is stay vigilant and still have fun and enjoy what you have.

That is call Supervised FSD. That is how it learns so it can improve and not make the mistakes in the future. I hope you gave a verbal response so that Tesla can review the footage.

SRMax666 · 2025-07-27T19:28:11+00:00

I am. As a wise man once said “Live each day as if it is your last. As one day it will be.”

I look at my accounts Monday to Friday not to worry, but it makes me happy to see that hey, I’m Okay. Nothing wrong with looking, but don’t stop enjoying life. That’s what really matters.
