dtcwee: The Value of Nothing

I'm travelling from Tokyo to Singapore and I don't want to lug a laptop with me. I want a full desktop through my Android phone. So I'm going to: Provision a Debian Linux VM  - (Google Cloud Compute Engine VM Instance) Install Remote Desktop  - (Chrome Remote Desktop on PC and Android) Move the VM from Tokyo to Singapore References The article ' Launch Ubuntu Desktop on Google Cloud ' was very helpful, as was this  old article from Google . However their descriptions of the Google Cloud interface are slightly out of date. Furthermore, Debian (without sound support) was easier to set up, with fewer issues, and is cheaper than Ubuntu Pro (i.e. free). Wanna do this with me? Let's go! UPDATE: It cost about AUD$9 to faff about setting up (2 days) and use the VM in Singapore (1 full day), or it would have, had I not been using Free Trial credits. Free compute!

Global passive investment funds have a large allocation to local shares. Why? It's 2025 and I'm spamming the proceeds of my house sale into the market. Yeah, I've decided to walk the minimalism talk ("the value of nothing") and become homeless. No wussing out on investing into Trump-world 2.0. It's time in the market, babes. My vehicle of choice are ASX-listed, all-in-one, diversified ETFs (DHHF, IGRO, VDHG). However, despite Australia having 2% of global market capitalisation they have around a 35% home bias towards Australian shares. Furthermore, my superannuation fund has a 45% allocation to Australia. Why? What's with this group-think? And is this going to cause regrets later? via GIPHY
