I'm more shocked to learn that MV has opened for 25 years already... Now I feel old...

Chat for one year. Got meet up IRL before?

Kubuntu on my main while I set up my Proxmox VE home lab. Plasma is superbly customisable, but there's something about Gnome that's so pleasing to the eyes that makes me look up ways to make Gnome work for me.

I have decided that xRDP is how I want to access my VMs (the only protocol that I'm able to reliably get multi display to work without additional configurations), so that's my bare minimum requirement for now. The test Debian VM I had straight up would not install the xRDP Easy Install script.

Switched to Linux (on my spare laptop) because that's what the programming tutorial I was following at that time recommended (though I've had experience with Ubuntu on and off before this). Such a delightful experience setting up programming stuff on Linux compared to Windows (I know WSL exists, but I like to keep my environments separate). Now my Linux spare laptop is my main PC, while I've barely turned on my "main" Windows laptop lately. Helps that my entertainment is mainly YouTube and not much gaming, though I played a few steam games on it before with a few quirks.

Yep, the currently available PRS funds are in general not great investments for the price you pay (in TER), by virtue of them being mostly Malaysia-centric stock pickings. They are basically Malaysia-themed mutual funds. I've not studied every PRS fund, but most of them do not beat their declared benchmark (most benchmark to FTSE-Bursa Emas Index), or they put a very low bar for themselves (an index comprising a combination of 12-month FD board rate and KLSE) despite being an equities fund.

I've been max-ing out my PRS allocation for the past 3 years. The moment the tax relief for this ends in 2025, I will not be putting a single sen in it anymore.

On Versa PRS, I'm more concerned about the longevity of the platform. At the end of the day Versa is owned by Affin Hwang Asset Management (AHAM), so if Versa does not survive the robo-advisor war and is forced to close down, you most likely only need to relearn where to access it (most likely through AHAM's present own fund investing portal).

The typical place ppl do their PRS shenanigans is on FundSuperMart (FSM).

You're chasing for Versa's 12% p.a. promotion on Versa Save? It's basically RM100 for your troubles (12% for December on RM10,000). RM100 is 3.33% of the RM3000 PRS allocation, or 2 years' worth of management fee. Better than nothing lah I guess.

Having just finished the latest Kluar Sekejap episode with Tun M, I must say, that guy sucks.

Someone probably feels the same about a hobby you're obsessed about. Just the nature of hobbies.

"Ceased operations" was a demonstration how little journalists/reporters know about the subject they are reporting on. In the world of chemical factories, "shutdown" does not mean "cease operations".

PASPay Technology has since updated the app’s website with a pop-up notice which said that users can obtain MyOnePAS from both Google Play Store and Apple App Store by the end of November 2023.

lol I've been observing how the various news outlets report this item. Almost all of them demonstrated that they do not understand what's going on. A "shutdown" is basically when a plant stops operations to perform periodic maintenance or upgrading works. Using the word "temporary" is just a cover-ass phrase to say "I think they are going to end businesses (because that's what I think that word means, and also that will bring in the clicks), but their press release says it's not long term...? Let's be safe and cover both cases." Shutdowns are by its very own nature, temporary. It's like saying "permanent death". Inb4 "transitory inflation".

Paling funny is one headline that reads along the lines of "Lynas shuts all operations in Malaysia...". I kek.

Yesterday kutuk why 5G, today stimmix with Hotlink 5G. Though annoyingly it keeps switching between 4G and 5G when I'm sitting still, and office smack on the center of KL.

Usually clothing stores have an altering counter for you to bring your pants to do final adjustment after payment.

What's the impact of me using monyet.cc as my home instance to browse other federated instances? I understand that hosting an instance requires quite a bit of resources, just not sure where that resource is being consumed from (home or destination instance).
