I would just do the one big transaction. I’ve done it in the past (after selling a house, after getting disability lump sum payment, etc), never had an issue.
If you’ve got a reasonable explanation for where the money came from / where it went, you should be fine.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto MST3K@lemmy.world•Greydon Clark on Final JusticeEnglish2·20 days agoGlad to see he has a sense of humor about his movies being riffed. Rifftrax has done a handful of his movies and they’re all good.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?English4·23 days agoJust Peertube. I’ve been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don’t think I’m going to sign up for another one.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto LocalLLaMA@sh.itjust.works•[April 2025] Which model are you using?English8·26 days agoI mainly use Llama-3-8B abliterated for everyday questions, and DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite for programming/Linux stuff.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Hardware@lemmy.ml•Intel sells 51% of Altera FPGA business to Silver Lake for $4.46 billionEnglish3·28 days agoIt’s been pretty lackluster so far. Embedded(includes FPGA) is one of AMD’s lowest performing divisions, along with gaming. They’ve used Xilinx circuitry in Ryzen AI CPUs (XDNA), but those have been slow to catch on.
There’s a lot of copium in the AMD_Stock sub about how Lisa is playing the long game and Xilinx will pay off over time, but for now, it’s a drag on revenue, operating margins and return on equity.
We paid $40B+ for a company that brought in less than 1.5B last year. - AMD bagholder, avg price $140😐
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Collect your own data for fediverseEnglish1·28 days agoAs long as I can disable it or opt out of it, I don’t mind. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t want videos recommended to me.
With Youtube, it’s not a big deal because I never log in there, I browse in private mode and set firefox to delete cookies. So when I go to Youtube, I just get a blank page with no recommendations.
But with Peertube, I need to login to get full functionality (federated search, etc). So I would need an option to turn off video recommendations or whatever.
As a computer guy, I can appreciate that working with data is cool - there’s a lot of neat stuff you can determine from it. As a user, it creeps me out. If I went my favorite restaurant, and the waitress recommended something based on the last 5 times I ate there, I would stop going to that restaurant.
As a Rifftrax fan, I never knew about Soultaker. But after seeing San Franpsycho, I’m open to seeing any Joe Estevez movie riffed.
Thought you’d never ask. https://youtu.be/i-jdhorGtQI?t=17
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy vote aggregation ideaEnglish72·1 month agoMy pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.
Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.
This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.
The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Sandwich-Posting@sh.itjust.works•Turkey on white with pickle and tomatoEnglish2·1 month agoI was lucky to be able to care for my parents in their final days. I’m not a great cook, but I did my best. Sandwich day was usually grilled turkey & cheese or plain turkey, cheese, tomato, lettuce, etc. Always a diagonal cut. Plus a bowl of chicken noodle soup with saltine crackers. Good memories.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Sandwich-Posting@sh.itjust.works•Turkey on white with pickle and tomatoEnglish2·1 month agoVery well executed. It’s a bit more meat than I like, but the diagonal cut is a nice touch.

OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•this user has a lot of questions, very reluctant to use LemmyEnglish61·2 months agoMost of the people who want to sign up for Lemmy are already here. They are technically oriented and don’t mind dealing with the quirks of Federated platforms.
The commenter’s concerns are valid. For a “normie” who’s only used traditional social media, the Fediverse seems like a train wreck. I enjoy the Fediverse because I like figuring out new things and learning new stuff. Normies don’t have time for that.
tl/dr: The average person will be very reluctant to use Lemmy.

My apologies to anyone if I left out your favorite show.
OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.deOPto Nostalgia@lemmy.ca•Alright, show. You've got 60 seconds to make your pitch. Go.English3·2 months agoYeah, I realized Knight Rider is in the wrong place. I don’t think I can change the pic once its posted.
Edit: nevermind, it let me change it.
I didn’t think about that. It probably is localized.
I like to make fun of my home state. It’s a pretty conservative place so the idea of a woman with a penis offends them.
