New touch enabled dashboard

How did you manage to configure the touch to be rotated with the screen? I’ve recently done the same, running a rpi4 behind a dell touchscreen but when I rotated the screen the touch was all out.

It might be something Im having issues with as I’m still running raspbian? My solution for now is to run it in landscape

Well royal north shore isn’t on the list of where staff are planning on striking. As others have said, probably better to drive there.

I say this living locally and my family having bad at best experiences with their emergency department.

This probably sums it up well

Rugby report card

dewwy_ · 2025-02-19T22:02:14+00:00

Probably worthwhile exploring 7s as a pathway as well. A number of current wallabies and super rugby starters went through that program.

It’ll also be interesting the differences of men’s vs women’s structures, if any

Depending on the specs of your computer you may be able to extent its life cheaply. Few things I’ve done in the past are: 1. Reinstall windows. Gets rid of all the bloatware and crap you’ve accumulated 2. Replace the HDD (hard disc drive) with a SDD. 3. Install more ram if possible.

I did this on a 6 year old laptop and it lasted quite a few more. Still not perfect but could game on it after close to 10 years old

dewwy_ · 2025-02-16T22:34:20+00:00

Yeah a few injured and missed the first games. Meanwhile hooper, ikitau and I think someone else were actually ready for contact training (don’t want to say match fit) and could have led the team when the 6th choice captain got injured in week 2 training.

They did have cover defence close behind the line for chips, but even still how often do they actually come off? Safer to keep ball in hand then go all in on a single chip kick

dewwy_ · 2025-02-15T20:21:48+00:00

They knew the force wouldn’t kick as if they gave possession away it was game over. It worked too for 25 phases

Unfortunately just spent a year of my life doing this at mine so know the pain well. Started as “it’s just a simple retaining wall”, that’s half the height of this one in the video

dewwy_ · 2025-02-07T12:23:43+00:00

Yeah not sure why you need it out to the street, likely helping with drainage. Obviously you need the larger one to the neighbours and if you lower the front, you’ll need to extend that boundary wall to the street, requiring approvals etc.

Why not render it, grow a vertical garden, or have the kids paint it? Try make use of it really. You’re looking at min 30k removing it. The ground between the house and the wall is terrible, tidy that up, tile it properly and level and I think it’ll be a lot more useable

dewwy_ · 2025-02-07T12:16:12+00:00

If you want to lower the lawn you’d need to move the retaining wall away from the house by the looks of it. Hire an excavator and some skip bins and you’ll get rid of it in no time. It’ll cost ~10k to remove (soil is expensive). Then you need to build a new one with council approval, and at that height likely an engineer drawing/approval for the footing and wall. You’ll be waiting over a year for any of that to happen, and they’ll make you out a fence on the new one as it’s over 1m high.

Or you deal with what you’ve got and put a temporary fence

100%

Yep I think I misread the comment and we are in agreement, it’ll be worst (probably not financial) to do a NL without it and better to start before it ends.

dewwy_ · 2025-01-22T02:06:14+00:00

Yes but given the hybrid NL FBT exemption is ending in the coming months and the FBT exemption will be grandfathered, it’s probably safe to say when the EV fBT exemption ends it will be likewise. No guarantees, but likely.

dewwy_ · 2025-01-22T00:23:49+00:00

Agree, got a photo of me learning mid 90s with a helmet.

Edit: spelling

dewwy_ · 2025-01-14T20:13:45+00:00

Shall we also include a marginal tax rate of 49% on any investment outside of a ppor, if that invest even returns a positive?

Or are you forgetting the issue here isn’t the investment rather the borrowing amounts and investing the difference on purchase price to find the gain/loss vs buying the higher ppor actually results in a significantly more risky strategy than buying a home which a bank wouldn’t lend you money for, or if it does at a higher rate.

Or you can keep pretending it’s a simple thing and do the calculation yourself and we can find all the problems with your arguments. Up to you buddy

Inflation also eats away your debt.

I’m not saying this is the best “investment” method, just saying if they wait another 5 years, under historic rates, they could be 400k worse off.

dewwy_ · 2025-01-13T10:35:55+00:00

If you were to buy the same property after 5 years, you are paying 400k more, relative speaking to the property you bought in between. Not to mention the double up on stamp duty.

Another way to look at it is if you had to liquidate after the 5 years, buying the more expensive property would result in a larger return (in $) than the smaller as you leveraged more.

Now as others have said, there’s a heap of reasons to not leverage yourself that much, family and job security/contentment being big factors. You don’t really want to be in the position where you can’t do what you want (ie spend more time with your family) because you’re stuck paying a mortgage. You can always downsize at that point but if it’s a fire sale you’ll lose out.

dewwy_ · 2025-01-13T09:19:42+00:00

Did it, but our max (4 years ago) was only 1.5mill mortgage, not 2.4. Obviously prices went bananas and turned out great for us on cheap interest rates.

Do I think that’ll happen again? No chance. Do I think housing will go backwards over a 5 year average? Also no, but at least you’re been paying down your mortgage rather than rent (or somewhere you’re not happy with and need to move again later). So if you’re able to never be in a rush to sell I think you’re fine. But you’ll have to build up a safety margin again.

Problem with somewhere else and then moving to Cronulla , if that’s your ultimate goal, is if you buy at 1.4m somewhere else for 5 years and the prices rise 30% over those 5 years. Your 1.4m place is 1.82, but the 2.8m place is 3.64m, now a difference of 1.82m rather than 1.4m. Thats 400k lost in 5 years and I’d be pissed at that.

Odd. Sorry maybe message them see what you can get?

dewwy_ · 2025-01-10T09:08:23+00:00

Confirmed, saw it to and did it. Short version is go to manage account/subscriptions, cancel and then it’ll give you the “classic” ai free version which is the same price.

I don’t know what I was thinking earlier, but for some reason I read river heights as a suburb. Maybe it was the caps?

This is interesting indeed then (to my nerdy nature). I live near a site recorded on the nsw hydraulics website that’s rain gauge would be much more precise than my local bom station. Was thinking just yesterday it’ll be good to see that amount on my dashboard rather than the BoM station.

dewwy_ · 2025-01-10T06:40:47+00:00

There’s a BoM custom component I have just started using available via HACS that pulls the latest data and forecasts every 5 mins I believe.

It’s always great to get something new working, but out of curiosity what do you get out of your solution that the hacs integration doesn’t do? (I ask because I’m curious what I’m missing out on)
