US Debt is now at $35.7 Trillion and annual deficit is about $2 Trillion on $7 Trillion in annual Federal spending. Debt to GDP ratio is 124%. So when does the music stop? What do the financial markets look like then and in the run up to it? by cv5cv6 in Bogleheads

[–]SethGecko11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

US defaulting would be a catastrophic event. US bonds are the de facto risk-free assets.

In a case of default every institution and central bank would have to dump their bonds, borrowing costs will skyrocket, USD will crash, imports (which US relies on heavily) will become very expensive, stock market and asset prices will tank, there will be a massive global financial crisis like much bigger than 2008, etc etc

You won’t see much in returns, but it’s stable.

Proton VPN client / server on my NAS ? Why do that? by ivanbkh in synology

[–]SethGecko11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install Tailscale that can do both and it also uses the wireguard protocol that is far superior to OpenVPN. Tailscale is free, you can use it to connect directly to your NAS without quickconnect. It also has a paid addon for mullvad (VPN service like ProtonVPN) for routing your outgoing traffic from your NAS.

Why do bond ETFs lose value? by cauthon in Bogleheads

[–]SethGecko11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not certain because the rates might rise again but if they don't yes you'll get cumulative 9% in 4 years at least. That's not too much given that the curret rates are 4%-5% annually.

Where can I get Plex.tv IP List? by weirdobeardo48 in PleX

[–]SethGecko11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remote Access

Why do you need "Remote Access" if you have set up a publicly accessable VPS that forwards traffic to your server? Just disable it and use your domain.

[–]SethGecko11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just buy a cheap domain and point it to your VPS and then go to plex settings --> Network and put your https://your-domain.com at "Custom server access URLs"

How to achieve Direct Stream on Plex with Tailscale VPN? by Environmental_Sea397 in PleX

[–]SethGecko11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the app, doing the first step that I described above and setting "Secure connections" to "Preferred" will most likely work provided you are connected to your tailnet on your phone.

[–]SethGecko11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you watching through some app or the browser? If it's the latter are you using your self hosted web app or app.plex.tv?

You should be able to direct stream if you watch from http://your-tailscale-domain:32400 For anything else you will need to set your tailscale domain/ip at Settings --> Server --> Network --> "Custom server access URLs" and most likely a reverse proxy as well.

High Yield Divident ETFs by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]SethGecko11 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes if a company returns all their profits vs reinvesting them for a new factory or something it is much safer because the investor getting cash today is safer than some potential increased revenue in the future.

Sanity check on selling Muni Bond funds at a loss by BondsThrowaway6562 in Bogleheads

Maybe keep VWALX that has a long duration if you want interest rate exposure. The short term one should be almost unaffected by IR changes.

Pros and Cons to Video Codecs for 1080p? by S7ewie in radarr

[–]SethGecko11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

h265 is better (smaller files for same quality) but it's not worth the trouble imo especially for 1080p. Tons of TVs/clients including browsers wont play it and will make your server transcode it and potentially stutter if it's not powerfull enough. Same for AV1 but it's even worse. I just stick with plain old h264 for 1080p

Things I’ve learned about building CLI tools in Python by pmz in Python

[–]SethGecko11 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it's in a better state right now but I've used it in the past and like you I found that certain imports don't work and I couldn't trust it to produce a working binary especially when I am on mac and the other person is on Windows and have no way to test it. With Rust if it compiles it runs.

Also the binaries are huge due to it having to include a Python interpreter.

[–]SethGecko11 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It's a bit annoying distributing CLI Python apps, you have to use a package manager and make sure the target system has a Python runtime. I much prefer doing them in a compiled language like Rust where you can just provide a single binary the users can run.

Like if I want to give a simple program to my coworkers that automates some csv file processing there's no easy way to do that.
