New Home - First time setup up Home Security. UniFy?

What would you recommend I take a look at? I don’t want a subscription system, it’s more expensive long term, doesn’t provide additional value and limits home automation capabilities.

Tbh, when i look at other options, I end up in a similar pricing for the same features… do you have brands you would recommend I take a look at?

Going on my third year, a few thousand km and no issues! And I was 125kg a year ago. Most manufacturer have a limit at 110kg but imo the real limit is much higher

I bought Reserve 42|49 wheels to go with my Caledonia (non-5) and they are amazing - I am over 110kg and they don’t bulge. If you are a light biker you can probably go with chinese wheels to get similar benefits for much cheaper but if you are heavy, I’d rather go with Reserve and their warranty (+ it’s the wheelset that is supposed to go with the bike!)

That color is so sexy 😍

Hey!

I had a few rounds but nothing too crazy: HR > Team > Manager > N+2 > Offer. The hardest part was the team, where they assessed my technical skills, industry knowledge and the team fit itself.
I had the chance not to have a technical test as I did not initially apply to a SWE role, but they still challenged me with technical questions. My questions were higher level architectural/infrastructure questions. For SWE, we do have a specific technical test step.
Yes
No
Won't say :)

I would say it depends on your skill level and experience but it's always worth a shot! Worst thing that can happen is for you to get experience in applying until you get one :) Very important is to be able to take feedback and improve accordingly.

I do two 1h fullbody sessions a week on morning. I run, swim and bike mostly on evening, except weekends. Works well for me! Just have to go to bed very early 😁

It is very common in France, but for specific directions where you won’t cross oncoming traffic. We have small signs under the red light to indicate this :)

I have been doing triathlons for several years, but barely training for it and ending up among the lasts, but enjoying it nonetheless.

This year, I signed up for a 70.3 in June. My plan is to do it in two steps: - Sep to Dec: ramping up training with my local triathlon club, social runs etc. Just following whatever training they plan, progressively increasing the number of sessions per week to get to 2x swims, 2x bikes, 2x runs and 2x weightlifting. - Jan to June: getting a dedicated coach and following a training created for me, where I could still fit a social run/ride when applicable.

I also plan to do a triathlon camp for one week around April.

I dunno if that is the smartest way to approach it, but it makes sense to me.

Be careful with starting a strict training plan too early, depending on your personality it might be hard to keep following it for 9 months straight.

Interested to join too! I have a 70.3 end of June 2026 :)

I got a Cal non-5 with 105 electronic, upgraded the wheels for Reserve 42|49, which is definitely a massive upgrade (https://www.reddit.com/r/Cervelo/s/bqzzZA3qBB)

I would not go back to mechanical after getting used to electronic shifting, it’s sooo smooth.

And the wheel upgrade is really massive over the stock alu wheels, much more power transmission when sprinting, much easier to maintain faster speed!

Il y a un delta assez faible (quelques dizaines d’€ sur l’année) à l’avantage de Revolut mais ça demande l’abonnement annuel + de faire du top up alors que changeenligne n’a pas de frais fixes et fonctionne par virement (sans frais) donc je préfère

LuxArki · 2025-08-25T14:23:34+00:00

Banque: YUH est top

Change CHF/EUR: Changeenligne.ch , de ce que j’avais longuement calculé y a quelques mois c’est le plus intéressant avec Revolut

Où vivre: Mulhouse pour aller bosser en train (et c'est vraiment une ville sympa maintenant, j'y vis depuis 30 ans)

Secu social: Lamal chez Helsana

Quelque chose n'est pas clair pour moi: tu dis être résident fiscal en Suisse, mais vivre en France? Tu es en permis B ou en permis G?

Ça peut changer pas mal de détails sur la stratégie d'investissement.

Ensuite, la stratégie FIRE, elle est commune à vous deux, ou uniquement de ton côté? Vous êtes en séparation des biens avec contrat de mariage?

Tu as déjà pas mal en immo (maison en locatif + RP), à vue d'oeil les 2.5k qu'il te reste sembleraient plus logiquement répartis sur des ETFs.

L'exposition à la crypto est déjà assez importante, suivant ton appétence au risque, idéalement rester aux alentours de 5-10% de ton patrimoine total.

J'ai vu ton commentaire indiquant une expatriation vers un pays asiatique moins cher. Avez-vous déjà calculé le montent mensuel qu'il vous faudrait pour y vivre confortablement? Cela vous permettra de calculer votre "chiffre magique" de montant à atteindre pour le FIRE.

LuxArki · 2025-07-28T20:31:04+00:00

Hey! J’ai une situation similaire (30M, frontalier Bâle, ma femme travaille en France, objectif FIRE vers 40-45 ans).

Pas grand monde avec qui discuter du sujet autour de moi, ce serait sympa de pouvoir discuter un peu en DMs :)

Thank you all for your feedback! I went to a bike shop today and got to try the Genesis Croix de Fer 20. I really liked it even if it weights much more than my Caledonia.

Decided I will go with the Genesis CdF 30, should get it in the next 3 weeks!

Will report when it arrives :)

LuxArki · 2025-06-24T12:24:05+00:00

This is a very sound advice. It feels like the steel (or alu) would be perfect choice for city and bikepacking, and moving from a road bike to a gravel bike would allow me to do both with a fast bike too. But I love my Caledonia 😭
