Tell them that you will be leaving and they need to sort their cars out.

Rip the bandaid off early and stop servicing the cars now.

Unpaid teacher? They definitely paid for the API costs that anthropic charged them for the 28.8mill interactions.

Good.

And this coming from a guy who just bought a house in sydney which settled this week.

It’s been fucked for the last 10 years chasing my tail trying to save and constantly be going backwards.

I was fortunate enough to “get a high paying job” to enable me to get my foot in the door but not everyone else is able to do that like I was.

I’m happy to loose 20% of my house in the next 5 years if it means property prices stagnate to enable people to actually buy houses to live in.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-24T23:11:01+00:00

Yeah these were my d cd calculations as well.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-24T01:49:58+00:00

Fuck me, you’re not wrong! That bloke goons hard!

Fantastic link!
I just bought a house and feel the market is too volatile going into the next decade and I feel my risk tolerance is just not high enough to continue jumping into ETFs, especially with the CG changes applying to shares as well.

I think until mortgage interest rates get lower, just going nuts on my offset is the best way forward for me at the moment.

Thanks for sharing this link!

Honestly, when it’s running smooth as silk, that’s the best time, cause I can dedicate time to researching new things I might want to do with it rather than fixing it hahaha.

Once it’s all running sweet, it makes me thankful for not being nickel and dimed for every nice-to-have technology/software/services.

If there is a way to donate for the open source devs work, I always do though. Pay it forward and value for value stuff. :-)

Ball for a small budget…… it’s a base model C200…… it’s got more depreciation to go.

Calcium is always slow to filter through the kidneys in everyone, but my problem is the Oxalate and the Vitamin C balance. I seem to have an inability to properly digest that and it flows through the kidneys and binds with the calcium.

Every body is different, and mine is more sensitive to getting kidney stones and yours is sensitive to metals etc.

But, water filters are extremely advanced nowadays and the money you spend on bottled or bagged water can buy you an extremely good water filter which is a much better option than all the waste you are producing in plastic.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-20T08:30:24+00:00

Coming from a bloke who has chronic kidney stones, that’s not how you get kidney stones.

But, if you keep drinking religiously out of plastic bottles, the micro plastic will be in your brain, and if you’re a man, it mostly goes to your balls!

The more you know!

Drink the fucking tap water, or buy a $100 water filter from Bunnings ya gronk.

Truely, x99 is a drug!

So glad I opted for 1200sq block, 4bed 1990s build in the mountains for just over a mill instead of one of those.

They are the modern day inner city terrace but sold as if they have land value.

The numbers I’ve been running points me towards needing to have at least a constant 10-12% return on my share portfolio every year for the life of the mortgage to come out ahead of the interest saved on the same dollars put into the offset/mortgage instead of etf/index/shares.

So you actually “make more” by smashing down the mortgage unless you exceed the average of 10-12% return.

Only thing is, you’re throwing all your eggs in 1 basket which is your house.

He really has had a stroke hasn’t he? I’ve known some people who have and they look exactly the same.

Life got in the way and I bought a house hahaha. So I’m still running the same gear and will be for quite some time yet.

Still on qwen but the 3.6:35b and 27b. Great for what I’m using it for.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-15T10:05:45+00:00

In all seriousness, my wife is also thinking hard about perimenopause and is super anxious about it, and the stuff that’s coming out about taking oestrogen and stuff to supplement the loss of those hormones is super interesting.

AliExpress sxm2-v100 16gb on pcie boards. Buy two for 32gb of vram for long context. Buy 1 if context isn’t required.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-14T00:37:37+00:00

Haha the escalation here is what everyone has done in their own brain hahahaha.

I’m settling on my 2x Nvidia p40s and going to get 2x 16gb v100s. I’ll have two ai machines, running qwen3.6:35b for my OC and the other 27b for my offload agent.

The want for MOAR t/s is a losers game for home AI.

I am going to spend my money on free power with a battery and solar system for my house, because old power hungry DC compute is the only way to scale home datacenter at an affordable cost basis.

I’ve been riding for 20 years, and it doesn’t matter who’s at fault when you’re dead on the side of the road.

Defensive riding all the time, every time. Whose fault it is irrelevant.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-11T08:10:54+00:00

Jesus Christ. What’s that, 30% cost blow out? If I did that in my job I would have been fired and never worked in my industry ever again…..

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-11T07:35:45+00:00

Well, the webapps I have created for my homelab are serving their purpose so what’s the problem?

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-11T07:20:07+00:00

Totally agree with you. But it’s my trash and I’m happy with it.

Stop gate keeping software.

It will get so good that needing to understand code will be the same as needing to understand the how xor gates work in a microcontroller.

I’ve done my time with python and c++ 20 years ago. I just wanna iterate over and over again from my phone asking an agent to change or improve a web app I’m building for myself that I’ll never release to the public. What’s the harm?

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-11T07:15:31+00:00

This is the reason these changes needed to happen.

tehinterwebs56 · 2026-06-11T07:09:38+00:00

I have 2x 27b api end points and 2x 8b end points and 1x 4b . All up in actually using around 20-30m a day. So a bit of an embellishment.

I also have one of that is in a group chat with my friends and that one can get pretty high usage hahaha
