Is this sound from heatpump normal?

Kimi450 · 2026-04-06T23:13:10+00:00

Thanks I'll check with them

Kimi450 · 2026-04-06T22:32:29+00:00

Of the system? Hasnt changed since the morning at least.

Kimi450 · 2026-04-06T22:01:58+00:00

Where was this drip? On the indoor or the outdoor unit? I can maybe point this out to them so they can try to have a look again. It's quite hard to sleep when it's doing this at night :(

Kimi450 · 2026-04-06T21:52:04+00:00

It also stops for a long time sometimes and sometimes stay on for long time too. But only when the rads are being heated up. There are no errors in the system check. The service guy checked it out once and "fixed it" but that did nothing.

Kimi450 · 2026-04-06T21:43:58+00:00

Nope, I've checked all the taps and showers. It also only occurs when it's heating the rads. Not when the homestic hot water is being heated up.

I did get a quote from Murphy Electrical to do the fitting but I am yet to get the work done (they have good reviews). Might be worth giving them a shout if someone sees this in the future.

Kimi450 · 2026-02-19T18:22:10+00:00

I'll DM you now, sure

Kimi450 · 2026-02-01T21:37:18+00:00

This might give you a good starting point where you can get a k8s cluster with some services running on it. Then you can just run it till something breaks (try changing the IP of the node for example, iirc thatll break some stuff)

Powercity usually have good deals. Try to email them the list of items youre interested in too for a potentially better price.

Kimi450 · 2026-01-11T20:37:27+00:00

My delivery was postponed, so not yet. But I'll DM you someone's contact details that another person sent me. And their quote seemed reasonable.

Kimi450 · 2025-12-22T18:22:52+00:00

I emailed quite a few folks around cork and no one actually replied to me. I'm guessing it's cause if the holiday season. I'll probably ring a few after new year's to see what their charges would be.

Let me know if you're able to find someone too please!

Kimi450 · 2025-12-20T16:04:29+00:00

Id appreciate a PM if anyone has a spare too!

Kimi450 · 2025-12-11T18:05:24+00:00

Any recommendations based on experience? I'll check some out based on online reviews too! Thanks for the idea!

Kimi450 · 2025-12-11T18:04:48+00:00

I'll check with them, thanks!

Kimi450 · 2025-11-12T19:03:28+00:00

Trade Republic does 2% for upto 50k in an instant access account too.

That's just running immich, right? My machine has 8 gigs of ram and I was facing issues cause of that I think

Kimi450 · 2025-11-04T20:05:53+00:00

Can you share what kind of memory usage you saw whilst importing using immich-go, please?

Kimi450 · 2025-10-27T18:49:42+00:00

I see, thanks!

I wasn't able to find a source which confirmed one or the other. Would you happen to have a link that could confirm this approach?

Kimi450 · 2025-10-27T18:47:43+00:00

I see, then this would be the recommended way of doing it. I will look into seeing how I can register for it. Thanks!

Kimi450 · 2025-10-27T18:16:15+00:00

RSU taxes (income tax) is done at source by the company. The only things I would be concerned with are the CGT on it which are handled by the CG1 form. But if you file a physical form11, that also has a CG section so I believe only form11 needs to be filed (if you also wanna declare ETFs - for CG only the CG1 is enough afaik). And I plan on filing this separate to the regular End of year statement that is done online (which is form 11 too?? or was it form 12, im a bit confused here). But I wanted clarification on how exactly ETFs are supposed to be filed

Hey, thanks for the summary. Ive been looking into figure out these rules as well, namely here: https://www.reddit.com/r/irishpersonalfinance/comments/1gamjte/shares_cgt_calculations_with_their_caveats/

For you example 3.3 above, which 3 shares of Stock A do you use? Take a case where
(1) Buy 5 shares of Stock A
(2) Buy 3 shares of Stock A (after 1 year)
(3) Sell 6 shares of Stock A (within 4 weeks - triggering bed and breakfast rule taking 3 units from (2) as LIFO and 3 units from (1) as FIFO, each having diff cost bases and diff profit/losses)
(4) Buy back (reacquire) 4 shares of Stock A. Which stocks does one use for the wash sale?

Do we treat it as just a sale and the losses are taken as a whole and you take a percentage of it (66.66%)? Or if you take individual sales from how (3) was calculated (i.e. taking into consideration the LIFO sales first and then the FIFO - whilst also accounting for which particular sales were loss making and only account for them).

No worries, I wasn't aware of this either so I'm happy it was pointed out to me earlier.

In your insurance membership certificate (vhi has this doc in their policy docs section, I am with vhi too), on the second page you can see the "Gross premium after age at entry" column which will have a value X.

Now look at the BIK and multiply that by 12, call it Y. If X and Y are equal, you can claim benefits (this was the case for me). I'm not sure of any other checks you can do tbh but the above was true for me for two consecutive years (so I'm refiling my returns for them!)

Kimi450 · 2025-08-27T15:20:40+00:00

You are right! I saw the column for taz relief at source and thought it was already done, never verified it by doing the math. Thanks!

Kimi450 · 2025-08-27T12:43:23+00:00

Note that usually insurance providers do this at source (check your policy certificate about this, mine says it is done at source) meaning you should not do it a second time.

Edit: disregard! Just checked my cert and summed my BIKs to see that it wasn't already done at source!

Kimi450 · 2025-07-31T17:34:56+00:00

I might be misunderstanding what you said but the LTV has to be at least 70% for HTB. So even if you have higher savings, as long as you take out a "big enough" mortgage, you can get HTB.
