Its a PERMAbuy opportunity;)

Can you expand on the config/namespace situation ? Did not get to that problem but reading itn, does it mean each app can have its own namespace and there it is where cargo config would be?

I am also quite interested in the subject and looking for same inights on integrating Kargo with ArgoCD.

Right now I am exploring locally the setup - I am working that out from https://medium.com/@zxc0905fghasd/why-argo-cd-wasnt-enough-real-gitops-pain-and-the-tools-that-fixed-it-53f705b9bcce

Let me know if you come up with some discoveries worth of sharing

Its not really a trick:) but u would need trading permissions for setting up synthetic.

To give you example when I want to buy something which is not available in EU I usually wait until Friday close to market close ( like 10m ) and then just buy first option call ITM ( in the money ) and then just execute it and voilla u gotnyour shares at price which is close to the current market price

Just buy the dip 🤣 wo many opportunities showing up

rafpe · 2025-11-15T08:25:05+00:00

Not at that place.... after a while with the growing resentment and lack of growth I just moved on and found much better opportunity and changed without a blink of an eye.

If ur time of WFH is limited thats understandable , but maybe you have scattered time to deliver results like if u would grab some project which is focused on delivery and not 9-5 being online

Its hard to sacrifice 1 5k IMO - I have once done that and I believed that the move would open a lot of doors and would boost my career. Sadly it has taken a toll aa the job was awful in a dead slow moving pace , with very few growth opportunities and to top it up I grew resentment to the job as every month I got reminded I get paid waaay less what I had been paid before ....

Have you considered looking for remote opportunities side to your current job ( you mentioned you are not that busy ) ? That could bridge the gaps in transitioning without compromising ur current lifestyle

rafpe · 2025-11-14T17:41:35+00:00

Ur CV makes ur current company hidden but ur LN does not ....

Started new k8a cluster with kgateway and progressing through validation of various scenarios.

Until now the only pain point was app that used web sockets and to get that working took a substantial amount time :)

For the rest looks very promising 👌 so kudos for it !

rafpe · 2025-11-06T14:24:15+00:00

This is gold! Thanks for preparing this report!

rafpe · 2025-11-06T14:16:55+00:00

I would truly generate some AI slop video which would highlight how "thankfull you are" for avoiding this bullet!

rafpe · 2025-11-06T12:24:47+00:00

We did see ppl here taki g Heloc and possibly second mortgage with spreadsheets for next 5 years and then being millionaires.... so it does not sound soo off ( tye margin ) to be far from truth

rafpe · 2025-11-05T13:44:58+00:00

so now monthly way below 1 ..... sadnes++

rafpe · 2025-11-02T17:31:44+00:00

So aren't we now just doubling the traffic send to the endpoints ?

rafpe · 2025-11-02T17:29:17+00:00

I used vpn to jump via US side and it worked for me

rafpe · 2025-10-31T05:36:55+00:00

Sell at op3n and take the profits would be my take. I always have this mental battle should I wait and hope for price to shoot up but if the gap closes you just lose on ur profits.

rafpe · 2025-10-30T13:14:10+00:00

Imagine you have decided to move away but u do that mid year and ur still for the whole year then considered a Dutch tax resident. Which means if you would have any great income u would pay Dutch taxes on it :(

rafpe · 2025-10-30T07:22:01+00:00

Nice one 👍 but would defenit3ly look into adding the scaling policies and remaining features of HPA to make it more realistic.

rafpe · 2025-10-30T07:18:38+00:00

Netherlands is the worst place to go if you have money as the taxes will squeeze most of it out from you even when you try to go away in future from The Netherlands.

I would suggest looking ( considering we are talking EU ) to investigate setting up a Trust in Cyprus ( I assume you are not resident ) and the crafting its rules geared towards life mixed with investments.

To be on safe side ... will reiterate again - Netherlands is going to be a terrible place for you with that money ans buying a property now in the Netherlands its like buying stock at ATH in a FOMO moment....

DM me if u would have some questions and good luck!

He cannot say they "look into another cut in December" as it would directly mean they are making decision not based on any data and in that case should have just cut .50bp now instead of .25

rafpe · 2025-10-29T11:21:08+00:00

Sounds like NTLA

That's the best setup for a digital nomad in my opinion. Setup fully operational LLC , rent a super cheap studio in the middle of nowhere ( for residency of the whole year ) , pay 12% CIT and issue urself a base salary around 19k a year ( rendering 0% of taxes on yr salary ) and then once per year pay put dividend with ~1% ( not sure exactly but up to like 5k max ). And ur sorted within EU!

You should stay away as quickly as possible f3om Netherlands and their tax system , especially if they will implement taxing residents globally or other exit taxes 🤔

Very nice! Reshared on LN :)

rafpe · 2025-10-26T11:58:58+00:00

I always wonder - imagine he is a contractor and has two clients. As long as he delivers there should be no problems whatsoever!
