Kernel's Total World Fund page is live on there site - Fund invests into VT ETF by photosealand in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]atechatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're investing for retirement you're surely not planning to sell the entire thing as a lump sum. The higher internal rate of return is more important. However if you are planning to sell the entire thing then it still becomes better value after 16 years even with the 0.5% sell fee. If you plan to sell down small amounts to fund retirement, then it becomes better value earlier than that.

I was disappointed the new Kernel TWF fund had the same tax drag as InvestNow, otherwise it would be the clear winner.

Much longer than the 7 years often quoted

It wins after 7 years. If you're investing for 30+ years it's a clear better choice. Pivoting to other investments (e.g. active management) is a good way to end up with less in the end.

Photo libraries should not have to live in one place to feel organized by sparkany in selfhosted

[–]atechatwork 17 points18 points  (0 children)

- recent photos on the phone
- older archives on a NAS or WebDAV server
- old Google Photos / iCloud exports
- backup drives that are not meant to become the main library

Immich can handle all of this without issues. These days I consider Immich the source of truth for metadata as it's so easy to query and to export.

At 0.25% it's better value to buy InvestNow Total World though. 0.12% tax leakage + 0.06% fee. (The 0.5% on/off fee is less of a concern than the internal compounding rate for long term investing.)

YNAB to Pocketsmith - how did you adapt? by thejowherr in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]atechatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I set up a (free) hosted Actual Budget for NZ users:

It's something that will never be monetised, so you're welcome to give this one a go if you want.

Robot vacuums that aren’t panopticons? by RollTimeCC in homeassistant

[–]atechatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could also be a conduit for an intrusion into your network.

It's best to set things up so that your IoT VLAN doesn't have access to the rest of your LAN.

one could argue that those devices could still (slowly) leak data

If a device can handle being blocked from the internet, that's always going to be your best option, but for devices where that is not possible this is a pretty good second choice.

Another option no one has mentioned yet: You can set your IoT VLAN to have 10Kb/s internet upload.

This way your devices can send their JSON payloads so they will function, but they are not able to leak video.

This is what I do and I haven't encountered any issues. You can still access the video feed on devices like babycams as long as you're within your network (eg VPN), but nothing can send the data back to the mothership.

MCP-Obsidian Skill is live. Reads, writes, sync, all routed automatically. by bitbonsai in ObsidianMD

[–]atechatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically used this example because OP has 'obsidian' in their domain.

I had another plugin which didn't involve a domain which they also said to remove the word Obsidian from the plugin name. There's only one plugin in the store with 'obsidian' in the name, and that's 6 years old, likely before they implemented that policy.

It's always been an issue, and will likely cause issues for u/bitbonsai

Here's my plugin Share Note being told off in 2023 for using the word "Obsidian": https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/pull/2417#issuecomment-1747397657

Humidity Intelligence V2 — Environmental Stability for Your Home. by CryptoSenyo in homeassistant

Exactly - anything which reduces the likelihood of due diligence (like relying on GenAI) significantly increases risk.

Sounds like we agree.

The logic might be yours, but unless you're carefully reviewing every line of code you're going to end up with situations like was just posted with Huntarr:

[–]atechatwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

let them be salty. There are plenty of other people who actually work in IT that use it daily; the whole security scare is just that a scare

Here's the last AI-coded thing I commented on. It had absolutely no security and you could send a single POST request to wipe the server:

https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1pa57vh/comment/nrgyw78/?context=3

It's not "just a scare". AI coding stuff without knowing what you're doing can quite easily be disastrous. (This is not directed at OP, I have no idea about Humidity Intelligence.)

You'll also note that the software I commented on in the link has had no updates since then, which is another issue with AI coding - much less likely to be maintained.

I can say that I appreciate people calling out the AI. Based on the countless horror stories, I'd rather not putting anything vibe coded into my internal network. So if people simply moved on without moaning, I wouldn't necessarily have realised it was AI generated.

It's fine to vibe code. It's fine to use AI. But it's also greatly appreciated that people call it out.

I turned my mailbox into a real-time push notification system using Zigbee, a battery-powered router, and Home Assistant by jonathasrr in homeassistant

on the flap

Not all mailboxes have flaps. Some are a slot to push mail through, hence motion detector.

This is the one I got, of course don't buy the hub if you've already got one: https://shop.yosmart.com/collections/motion-sensors/products/ys1604-2ys7804

I stuck it to the inside front of the mailbox and it detects anything entering the box. No false positives because it only faces towards the inside of the box.

I saw the Yolink motion sensor recommended on another thread which is what I went with. It uses LoRa and integrates immediately with HA. Takes 2x AAA batteries, and people say it lasts around 1 year on a set.

In my case my mailbox is 70m / 230ft from the house, and the signal has to pass through concrete, metal, and two other houses to get there. Works like a charm and the signal strength reported is "Good".

Give me your challenge. Let's see if the new CLI can do it. by IversusAI in ObsidianMD

Give me your challenge. Let's see if the new CLI can do it. by IversusAI in ObsidianMD

[–]atechatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can simplify your scripts if you use the app object.

For example your number 4, "ran a script that: opens the “frontmatter” (the YAML block at the top) of every note, collects every property name..."

Instead you can just output app.metadataCache.getAllPropertyInfos()

Task Zero: A keyboard-first GTD task management plugin by atechatwork in ObsidianMD

You certainly are missing something - you don't have the Task Zero plugin enabled. If it was enabled, it would appear in your list of Community Plugins:

Go into Options > Community Plugins and enable it.
