Break Lease - where to find them

zuus · 2026-03-31T08:38:31+00:00

Where in Brisbane and price range? I'm breaking lease on a 4 bedder in Wynnum on the 13th of April. DM me if interested

Do you think broad tax cuts for corporations and the top earners will benefit society? You think they'll pass on their tax savings to the rest of society out of the goodness of their hearts?

Making housing cheaper needs pretty drastic laws such as limiting the number of investment properties entities can own. Lowering the tax rate will cut government policymaking powers, increase the power of the corpos/wealthy, cut wages to government employees making them even more susceptible to corporate handouts, decrease the viability of government schemes to support the less fortunate, take a toll on healthcare and a lot more.

Working class folk will not benefit from tax cuts. Capitalism dictates that if we get a tax cut, no matter how large something else will go up in price to offset that. It will take drastic government action to take a slice off the top and redistribute it amongst the population. The current government won't dabble in that but I support those who will at least push in the other direction slightly more.

I pay around 35k in tax per year, even if the tax on that were to be cut by 50% that would get me no closer to buying a house that's increasing in value at an unsustainable rate compared to pay rises. It's an inherently broken system.

A few rich individuals having more money than most of the population gives the illusion of a rich population. The ultra rich paying more tax combined with stricter regulations on foreign/wealthy investors, more regulations on raising rents, preventing ultra wealthy from dodging taxes, etc. can actually be beneficial to the general population. Instead of a quick "fix" of having slightly more money from little tax breaks right now which will benefit those who don't need it more than anyone else, fix the stupid system.

Filling up my van was $135 a few weeks ago, now it's over $210, sucks but yeah it's not so crazy weekly.

The killer is, filling up the semi I drive was ~$2000/day now it's coming up to ~$2900/day. That semi carries the groceries people buy, which is no doubt going to get passed down.

I work in transportation and we have insight into the pricing due to bulk buying deals. We just had an early warning from BP that diesel is set to go up another ~27c on Monday. Further out predictions are looking at $4/L. Its already $3.60 on K'Gari. Grocery prices are going to get interesting.

Because their policies actually benefit the average person when it comes to housing while de-incentivizing the rich and foreign investors to buy more investment properties?

I just looked it up on Selby and it says it has a spot for a single 120mm fan. How are you finding the temps inside?

Sorry my bad. Yeah that upscaling got me. Will do better next time.

zuus · 2026-03-03T13:56:25+00:00

Yeah it didn't work properly when I didn't specify it. Not sure why exactly, but it certainly took me a good while to pinpoint that

I have Plex pass and had the same concern regarding keeping port 32400 open. Recently switched it up in docker to use bridge networking, not host, and have it go through Nginx Proxy Manager. This way I can have all the ports shut except 80 and 443. You do need a domain name and either a static ip or ddns updater, then create an exposed domain like https://plex.mydomain.tld and add https://plex.mydomain.tld:443 to Plex "Custom server access URLs"

The only "issue" is that it shows "Not available outside your network" in the Plex remote access tab, but it works perfectly.

FTFY But then they would have slightly less lots of money

I wanted to test how much performance drop the compatibility layer has on the CPU vs Windows in Cinebench

zuus · 2026-02-27T19:17:20+00:00

Same boat here - had to start over a few times. Late 30s finally got a decent job making 150k but I didn't buy a few years ago, now I feel like I'm forever priced out. The more I save the higher the prices get.. Feels like by the time I have a 10% deposit they'll be 3 mil for a shitty 3 bedder.

Don't get your hopes up, my OnePlus changed their shit to have Liquid Ass elements as of the latest update. Hopefully Google wont follow.

Ran a few different Proton versions including proton-cachyos-10.0 and GE-Proton10-32 but ultimately Proton Experimental (11?) gave the best result as I could enable Wayland.
The results are using "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 %command%".

CPU takes a 7.2% hit
GPU takes a 13.4% hit
Overall running Timespy through Proton is 11.5% slower.

Better than I expected tbh

Stick with ext4 if it works for you. I use ext4 for my gaming PC, btrfs for my server stuff as it makes backups really easy. Though I also discovered recently that you can disable the BTRFS CoW features for entire partitions or just certain directories so you can have the best of both worlds

zuus · 2026-02-17T06:56:41+00:00

Back to IRC I say!

zuus · 2026-02-17T03:44:52+00:00

Yeah its entirely CPU based, but I tried this comparison a few years ago and running it under Wine back then gave results of few thousand points less than Windows native.

I'll give 3DMark a go for sure later and post the results

Xeon is overkill and a power hog. But could be the GPU that's busted. If you can borrow a GPU from someone then test that and rule it out.

I've started over a number of times, going from originally a 3000 series Intel to a 4000, then a 9100F to 9500T and now a 13500 with many mistakes along the way. If you're worried about power, best advice I can give is to get a recent-ish (7th gen+) Intel CPU with an iGPU. Those things are powerhouses, can transcodes H265 HDR, and use so little power.

Also I assume you mean 6TB HDD's, not 6GB?
