- Comment on Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state 5 weeks ago:
This has been my experience as well. I’m saving several thousands of dollars a year after about 5 years. I probably couldn’t afford to rent my own home. If I stick with my mortgage for the full 30 years I can only imagine how ridiculously cheap my “rent” will be… Not to mention that rent money is going into my own equity instead of a landlord’s
I imagine if I were planning on moving within 5 years of purchase renting would be a better deal.
But seriously, in another 5 years I expect I could rent my property and pay my mortgage in full, while taking some profit to help pay another mortgage…
You know - be the thing I despise

The side of the moon not facing earth is what I meant. Not actually sure if thats a correct phrase at all TBH. °far side* is probably a better phrase.

Whitey on the moon is certainly a vivid slap to the face, but it isn’t the real cause of sister Nell’s rat bite (Google Gil Scott Heron whitey on the moon if you dont get the reference. It’s seriously awesome and on point and should be required listening in high school)
The most recent big kicks to the teeth were the 2trillion in tax breaks handed to corporations a few years back and the flood of Insurance company money into politics. Insurance corporations have ruined healthcare and made medical debt a leading cause of homelessness. Political donations have made sure the government doesnt do anything about it.
The 2 trillion in corporate tax breaks have obliterated funding to public health, rehab and job placement services as well as eliminating millions of jobs in the public services sector. These spur economic growth
Moon shit is arguably what made microchips, solar panels and thousands of other inventions that seriously funded a great deal of economic growth, getting thousands out of poverty, while simutaneously maintaining our leading military edge and bankrupting Russia’s warchest without murdering millions of people.
We should focus our opposition on corporate tax breaks and political bribes, not on the miniscule programs that actually do create some jobs… Also, China is making moves to occupy the moon, including the dak side of it. The moon is the ultimate high ground

I think were maybe just too busy to be involved enough in the irc-ish corners of the web to see it.
I bet there’s more than ever of it out there… You an I are just now into a perspectosphere of higher profitability, but lower keepin it surreality… If that makes sense
Which is kinda how it ahould be… The youth with their lack of responsibility own the edge of culture which they will eventually sort out to the worthwhile and the forgettable as their kids overtake the edge.
Zombocom is certainly in the worthwhile bucket. It encapsulates and distills so much into such a simple, light-weight package

I was self hosting gitea. It’s great for small projects and all for well over a year…
But then my filesystem got corrupt and I really learned to appreciate not having to deal with physical infrastructure.
I have things backed up and all, but I’m short on time and it’s taken a week for me to find time to pull out the drive, pop it into another machine fsck it, pop it back into the server, see that even though the filesystem is repaired and mountable on my desktop, my Raspi cant boot at all. Kernel panics when trying to mount rootfs :( Then pull the drive back out and reburn a new image, copy home folders, yada yada
It’s a good thing my work doesnt depend on it.
