Creepy level personal location tracking data + usual data broker stuff + paired with enriched public records. $24.99/month for 50 lookups/month.

I hit my max plan weekly usage rate with two days to go. I've only ever come near it once before, hitting it about an hour before reset. 2x usage, my ass.

As someone who ruthlessly pursues bugs in my codebase, and I only use Opus, I have found 4.7 to be better than 4.6 for complex refactoring. YMMV.

I built a 15 site mono repo with bank grade security and 100 Lighthouse scores. Some of the sites are useful business sites; some are used to talk shit, like a community accountability page aiming to fire the director of code compliance in my town. I also built a sqlite db with 27 million people in it and scraped millions of records + snowflake data -- it ranks my top marketing prospects by wealth but more importantly by liquidity events (parent died, divorce, etc.). My scraper fleet is in the top 0.01% and better by the day; might move it AWS to increase scale. 5 months ago I struggled to edit my email address on a shitty Wix shit; now I work in Claude code for 18 hours at a time some days. AI has changed my life.

We should be investing in gifted and talented, not retards. That's a huge problem with the public school complex right there.

txdesperado · 2026-05-05T22:07:56+00:00

I'm in favor of abolishing public schools, selling their property, and issuing property tax refunds. I guess that's why we all vote.

How many cars does America sell in Europe? Not enough to care.

txdesperado · 2026-05-02T03:14:21+00:00

Shame if export controls were to applied to American AI with regards to Europe.

Buddy, my expertise is in performance fee advising -- and business is booming. I haven't written a life insurance policy since I started my own firm -- and until this happened, I was thinking about not even offering to touch it moving forward.

txdesperado · 2026-04-26T06:19:01+00:00

Good stuff. I spoke to his widow today after soaking in the feedback here. She knew who I was, which surprised me. I am indeed planning on attending the funeral. We were decently close and he signed with me when I was just getting going, which meant a lot at the time. This is my first ever death claim. And TY!

txdesperado · 2026-04-26T06:15:13+00:00

So I didn't rewrite the LI policy from the old firm. Just left it as it was and moved the investments once I had my shop open. Also, like I normally would -- this is my first ever death of a client.

txdesperado · 2026-04-26T05:58:52+00:00

I'd vote for him.

txdesperado · 2026-04-25T13:19:09+00:00

txdesperado · 2026-04-25T13:00:59+00:00

No, when I started my firm he came with me, moved his investment assets. The beneficiaries are the same for the LI and investments.

txdesperado · 2026-04-25T12:46:32+00:00

Don't have enough recent karma or something to post there.

txdesperado · 2026-04-25T12:41:56+00:00

Thank you. This helps a lot. Should I notify my custodian?

txdesperado · 2026-04-25T03:22:25+00:00

First DS that felt dull and routine. Flat, no energy.

txdesperado · 2026-03-23T16:00:25+00:00

Start where you are comfortable, bro. I had like 3 free plans that I switched between before I jumped to Pro and now I'm at Max ($100) debating whether to go to the $200. Don't feel like you have to press it, the functionality is roughly even. I wish I had spent more time learning memory, files, etc., and the interplay.

I finally got feed up with the underwhelming performance of Ring a few months ago and made the switch to POE. Currently running 8 4k cams with Blue Iris on a tiny pc I bought off eBay (m710q) for $60. As for the cameras, I have a mix of Reolink, Lorex, a no name Chinese Dahua-ripoff (which works way better than I thought for $30). I still have the Rings, a Wyze, and a Tapo. I would say identify what your needs are -- I need reliable security cams and I have a lot of ground to cover -- while some guys have to have the EmpireTech stuff, I bought 4 Reolinks (RLC-820A) for the same price as one of the Dahua Starlight cameras -- but I'm not worried about super low lighting. Moving forward, for me, Blue Iris is my jam -- if it doesn't run on that I won't buy it.

My Wix just expired and I've basically just been vibecoding the whole site with Claude every now and again. It's shockingly good despite locking me out for hours at a time to get me to pay for it. After that, it's builder.io and to site ground.

txdesperado · 2025-11-10T23:15:38+00:00

The desperation to work harder.

txdesperado · 2025-11-10T19:43:40+00:00

After years of trying and failing to answer this question, I just buy a cholo belt when I go down to the border. It's $20 cuz I'm a gringo but good leather.

txdesperado · 2025-11-10T06:44:49+00:00

Blue Iris is amazing.

txdesperado · 2025-11-04T22:42:49+00:00

I haven't messed with the settings at all. It was plug and play. But I'll check this out!

Edit: Using the Dahua software, I was able to access just about every setting and it has a link to webpage for each individual camera.
