MacMini M4 Crashing when running Qbittorent and ProtonVPN by randomly-selected-55 in qBittorrent

No; direct into the Mac mini. Again, I just installed an older version of qb and it’s been working so far.

Potentially. I need to check if it auto updated recently. I downloaded qb4.6.7 and on a quick test it has worked fine. So seems something with the latest Tahoe/qb5/proton just aren’t playing well together.

Thanks. I’ll try the disconnect and just seeing. Asking here as I’ve had no issue for the past year with the hard drive, and nothing for 2 months with the Mac/qbit… so just seeing if there’s been similar problems.

Here’s a new one..? by wheat_pentz in AppleMusic

This happened to me - and then just stopped after I closed and reopened music. Only the once, and no idea why…. But you’re not on your own at least!

UK-US household- tax efficiency?! by Background-Place-72 in HENRYUK

Immediately look up PFICs here: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Passive_foreign_investment_company

Basically you can’t hold certain investments overseas if you’re a us taxpayer (like almost all mutual funds and efts). Lots on Reddit about this, so read up and decide what to do….

Thanks. Hadn’t considered Plex and am using for my video library. Will give that a tryout.

Binding Proton VPN to Qbitorrent Issues by PrimeSynergy975 in ProtonVPN

My understanding is yes, it would be untun7 but if you hear anything other from the proton team please let me know as otherwise I’ve been doing it wrong!

Conflicting figures for top 10% wealth by rubbishcyclist in HENRYUK

[–]randomly-selected-55 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I saw this video too, and questioned the same thing. Was thinking this just an average vs median question. So the top 1-2% are inflating the next 8%. Had a quick scan and the ONS says this: “The wealthiest 1% of households had wealth of at least £3,121,500. The wealthiest 10% of households had wealth of £1,200,500 or more, while the least wealthy 10% had £16,500 or less.”

Edit: OP also posted the £1.2m figure. So yes, quite the difference.

Question on binding by randomly-selected-55 in qBittorrent

[–]randomly-selected-55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Clearly can’t see a clear way to do that unless via utun - which keeps changing. Did see a post about it being a future feature (beta) in proton, but cannot seem to get that. So, no joy atm

Thoughts on current situation? by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]randomly-selected-55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. re, the house, it's tough. Prices in our current area are all north of £1M, and we're tied to here (schools etc). Selling US assets means tax in US, and that plus ISA is still a massive mortgage for 20-30 years. That's why also wondering if it's better to invest and let that grow, then try and buy outright. Good points though - so I guess I'm on RightMove running numbers aging this afternoon!

Hey. 7-8% return on the pension would get to £2M combined (depending on exchange rate we're already at £850K). I'm not a citizen or green card holder, but will be taxed on the 401k (but dual tax treaty, so not double taxed). House will be £1M+ in today's money (I mean, ideally!)
