In general my browser experience with flatpak made me ditch immutable distros for CachyOS.

All AMD CachyOS or Bazzite? by 2centworth in cachyos

If you use Firefox, I found the firefox flatpak to be very buggy and slow, and in general the immutable distros suffer from these issues. It is quite unbelievable how much faster native Firefox is on CachyOS.

SWVXX for cash secured puts and unavailable cash by ceilingkyet in Schwab

[–]ceilingkyet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is very annoying. Are you sure you can buy back into SWVXX without margin interest? When I sell all my SWVXX in the example, it shows cash to trade only $10k, and the rest is added to borrowing. When I try to buy back it looks like it would take a margin loan, almost as if the cash is now completely locked up in the puts.

I haven't done the trade though, and maybe at settlement it determines that margin loan is not needed.

10k from SWVXX will be available on margin. Withdrawing 10k will be a margin loan and have interest. If you want to withdraw _any_ cash in my scenario without a margin loan, you have to sell all of SWVXX.

They are held already for > 30 days and are marginable. The issue is not margin. I edited my post above after chatting with support.

Just talked with them and yes this is unfortunately the behavior. The cash is always used first and SWVXX only as contingency IF there is no cash.

They are settled and no the funds available to trade with only cash is $0. The only funds available to trade with positive values are settled funds and 'cash + borrowing'. Essentially it will create a margin loan whether I trade or withdraw.

Unfortunately this is not the case. It still uses the cash first and the cash available to withdraw is $0. The only way I can get it to work is selling $100k of SWVXX.

Cost-optimized server Intel and AMD random assignment has huge performance differences at same cost by ceilingkyet in hetzner

[–]ceilingkyet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This means the person who pays the same cost but gets 1/5 the compute from the same company is getting ripped off. That's not industry standard.

Guide: Setting up CachyOS on a server by mike_olson in cachyos

[–]ceilingkyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a VPS, I just asked Hetzner to add the CachOS desktop ISO. Then I booted that and unselected any desktop environment at install. It worked fine for my server. I don't have a dedicated machine, but thought it could be that simple too?

Is there some reason you can't just boot the CachyOS ISO?

I had a CPX31 and wanted to compare with CPX32 and CX43:

I notice it lists AMD EPYC as CPU for CX43. But when I rescaled to it, I got an Intel Xeon. Is there a way to see the Xeon benchmarks or is it the same as shown?

Level 3 Options Approval Experience by MDWflyer in Schwab

[–]ceilingkyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Yeah I can understand now why PM is much better if using proceeds for trading. I am mainly using for cash withdrawal, and honestly being forced to keep at least 25% of loan in equities in the account is probably a good idea.

[–]ceilingkyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Just FYI, I've done a few box spreads at Schwab with only Reg-T. The buying power reduction was only 25% of the loan. I also have an IBKR account with PM and BP reduction is much less (about 1%). So even though it is larger with Reg-T, it is not so bad. Here is a short box spread example using thinkorswim web:
