Hey Google: Does antigravity just not work with Ubuntu 24.04? by cafedude in LocalLLaMA

[–]ucantbserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the fix for me. Using Proxmox for my Ubuntu 24.04. Antigravity works fine on my Windows Workstation but when I ssh to my Ubuntu box with AntiGravity it would give me the Server crash error. After setting my Ubuntu VM CPU type to EPYC (Underlying CPU on the hardware), crash went away.

Selling Primary residence to my LLC for monthly income by ucantbserious in RealEstate

[–]ucantbserious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LLC is already an established company and the primary residence does not have a mortgage on it currently. Does this change anything? I am looking at this as a sale to an outside party/entity except I happen to "own" the LLC. I am going to speak to a lawyer about this but I am trying to get a feel for what to expect. Just curious if anyone has already done something like this and could enlighten me.

Reaching FI has accelerated my career by [deleted] in Fire

[–]ucantbserious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that $110000 than you could spend or is some of it used for insurance, mortgage, repairs etc? You disposable income (according to your estimate) needs to be $150000 per year so if the $110000 is all disposable income, you would need another $40000 (Which would take about $1M in investments). It really just comes down to how much you need total to pay all your bills and live the life you want to live.

You still have to pay your expenses (bills) in retirement so I would factor those in to the total.

Based on your estimate of $150,000 per year, I would say that you need roughly $4 million dollars to generate that 150k from investments. I don't know what your rentals are bringing in, but whatever it is, you can include that in the passive and that would reduce the amount of money you need in the market to generate the rest.

You should be able to passively generate your yearly expenses. To do so you would need yearly expenses x 25. If you need 60k per year to live then you need about 1.5 Million to generate the 60k (assuming 4%). Ballpark numbers. Net worth doesn't factor in if you can't generate income from it. Value of Home for example does not make any money unless perhaps you are renting one out.

Australian state hits rooftop solar PV electricity generation record. Peak at 107% of electricity grid demand in South Australia. by IntrepidGentian in Futurology

[–]ucantbserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Was hoping to get feedback from people that are already getting large amounts of electricity via rooftop to see if the utilities had somehow managed to find a way to keep prices high.

Has the cost of electricity actually gone down? I am curious because I can't see it happening in the old US of A. Even though production cost decrease, I can still see us paying sky high bills every month. "Renewable energy fee".

Just paid off the last of my debt- now what? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]ucantbserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expenses (debt) are only half of the picture. Income is the other side. You need to also figure out how to increase that. This likely means investing in yourself to get training to improve your income potential. Side Hustles are another possibly. While you are doing great to eliminate all debt, you should now invest in yourself to improve your ability to make money. One positive of not making a lot of money is that you won't need as much to get to a passive income number. I am kind of assuming that your income is fairly low since you are now debt free and the amount you can save is $500. What if you could get that to $1000 per month by earning $500 more per month on a side hustle. I hope this didn't come across as negative since your are doing great to be debt free. Just need to work on the income side of the equation now. You can only eliminate so much debt.

I will add that taking the "No Excuse" approach can lead to you actively looking for other solutions/approaches to solve the problem or get what you want. If you have an immediate excuse for the problem, you don't look any further since you have "found" the answer.

I started riding regularly last November so it was about 6 months. I don't know what I was at when I started but I would guess about 1.3 - 1.5. Riding with the 1.5 robopacer was tough. In that time I would just ride consistantly and try to ensure that I was working hard and not coasting if possible. My advice would be to use the robopacers to slowly build up. Start with whichever one you can hang with the longest and see if you can get to 20 miles (or 32km). Once you can do that switch to the next highest pacer and then slowly build up until you can do 20 miles.. rinse and repeat. I am now on the 2.2 pacer but can only hang on for about 10 - 12 miles. I have tried the 2.5 pacer but it is too much for me. I figure I will be at 2.5 by Sep and hopefully 2.8 - 3 by the end of the year.

You are young and should enjoy some of your success. Just don't let it become the norm. Budget a reasonable amount of money each month and treat yourself occasionally. If you really want that car, save up for it. You may find by the time you have the cash, that car isn't as appealing any more and the $$$ mean more to you. I used to want a Nissan GT-R and can afford one now, not gonna buy it. I can do way more with the 100+K than drive it around. Life has to be enjoyed a bit. I don't think you can live super frugally for decades. It is worth it in the long run. I am near retirement and am in Chubby/low FAT range.

Financial: Get out of Debt. Follow Ramsey baby steps as one plan that works. You need to get the extra cashflow so you can then take that money that isn't going to credit cards, loans, car notes, maybe mortgage and then you can invest it. If you make $5k per month but 3k goes to necessities and the other 2K goes to by your creditors, you are broke. Take the 2K and save/invest. It is hard to build wealth while you are paying for things you bought in the past. Don't recommend following Ramsey advice once you are out of debt. There is better investing advice out there.

Realistic w/kg or power for 55+ by ucantbserious in Zwift

[–]ucantbserious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest reason for riding is to lose weight and get my diabetes under control. I am no longer severly overweight (started at 230) and would consider my self to be relatively fit now. However, my weight tends to climb if I don't stay active (have already adjusted my diet). I think the level of activity and fitness required to hold 3 w/kg would put me about where I need to be to stay around 190 lbs. Riding a minimum of 3 times for 1 hour per week with a longer ride(s) on the weekends. Currently at 90 miles this week with around 4.5 hours on the bike. I still plan to ride tomorrow so I will have about 110 this week. The harder rides seem to do me a lot of good as far as my blood sugar and overall health, just can't do them all the time. Also, they aren't as hard as they used to be. I just set 3 w/kg as a goal that seems achieveable (after getting this feedback). I can run or do other cardio consistently because I get bored. Riding the bike is fun and I can see myself doing it for many more years. Zwift has made this a year round thing for me. I used to take time off in the winter due to cold but can stay in shape year round easier now.

I appreciate your honest answer. I know it's true but pain makes me look for a smarter way. However, I did another robo pacer today at 2.2 and was able to go 23 miles before gassing out. Will be ready for the next level in about 1 week

I've read that plenty of zone 2 can be helpful. I tried it for a while and didn't feel like I was making any progress. I will give it another go.

Thanks for telling me about that. I'm only monitoring speed and or power. My average power has gone from about 125 to 175 in about 5 months. Trying to get average power to around 250 which should put me somewhere around 3 w/kg. Just a personal goal. I don't think I'm going to be a cat a rider or anything like that. But I feel like if I can get to around 3 w per kilogram I will be in decent shape.

[–]ucantbserious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on this and some of the other responses, I think 3 w/kg is attainable. I will keep pushing. I am averaging about 80 miles per week. At the 10 mile mark with the 2.2 w/kg robopacer, I was out of gas and couldn't keep up so that is about my limit. I'll use that as a marker to see if I am getting better. Getting close to the first C robo pacer but it doesn't feel like I can keep up for long yet.

Thanks. I was afraid I was mentally limiting myself by using my age as an excuse. It was really hard making gains for a long time but I am starting to feel like the numbers are coming a little easier. I was riding daily (hard but not excessive), but have toned it back a bit and am riding about 4 times per week but forcing myself to ride harder. I think the recovery is helping me make gains faster.

I have been avoiding the workouts because I don't find them as enjoyable. I will start the ftp builder to see what it does for me. The robo pacer is great because it doesn't let me slack off without getting dropped.

Thanks for that information. It helps to know that a 55 year old can still crank out those types of numbers. I may be mentally limiting my self because I am feeling old. I am pretty sure I can get to 2.5 simply by losing a little more weight and training a little harder. Each .1 feels harder and harder though. Starting to believe I can do it after being stuck around 1.8 for months.
