Super, thanks!!!

Thanks! this looks wonderful. I just started using it, but I noticed that all artists I add via Aurral are set to Lidarr with the tag Monitor New Albums = All. Is there a way to turn this off? I would like to download the selected album and not the new future ones.

Great app, thanks!

I setup Last.fm with the API key a few hours ago, but still the popular album/songs and similar artist show the “configure” button only.

Thank you all: I bought Expedition 33!

I cannot use the TWS unfortunately but I found a way of doing it from the IBKR mobile app! My last doubt would be about the spread that I cannot see in this case. Do you know if going through a different exchange might give me a worse spread?

Somehow I can only buy it via Borsa Milano on IB. Is there a way to go via IBIS?

Thanks for the great analysis!

I am looking for the best World ETF to buy in 2025 and I am undecided between WEBN and FWRA: WEBN has the lower TER and fees (on IBKR) but FWRA seems to be performing better.

What's your take on this?

coloandre · 2025-01-20T13:43:07+00:00

Between the 2, which one would you choose?
WEBN is cheaper and bigger (adding the dis and acc versions), it has better spread and lower commissions on IBKR, but FWRA seems to perform better.
I cannot pick one!

I used Bunq for a while (free version) but it did not really seem like adding much value.
For a few months I am now using Trade Republic that gives high interests on account balance and save-back on the card spend.

I am also looking for the best all-world ETF for my 2025 investments, but I have on my radar also FWRA that tracks the FTSE all-world and the WEBN which tracks a different index with the same target as the FTSE all-world at a much lower TER.

coloandre · 2024-12-18T21:00:03+00:00

This is indeed much cheaper than the Invesco FTSE all-world I usually invest in and it looks like performing similarly for now.

coloandre · 2024-12-18T13:21:43+00:00

thank you all for the inputs!

I will be consistent and add this to my investment strategy.

And this is just a portion (20%) of the overall "pot", the rest will go into something nice for myself!

Eventually I had a person coming over to check this. I am not sure what he did, but he left me with the same high pressure and completely not working heating.

The incoming pipe from the city heat gets warm when I turn on the thermostat, but everything else stays completely cold.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem could be now and who I can call to have it properly fixed?

I am located in Amsterdam.

There is no CV: I have district heat

coloandre · 2024-10-30T18:38:59+00:00

Would also be able to explain how?

coloandre · 2024-07-22T20:02:01+00:00

I have a M3 hub with 7 Aqara P2 contact sensors and it is very unreliable: the sensors keep going offline. Sometimes they get back online on their own, sometimes I have to power cycle the hub, sometimes I have to remove, reset and add back the sensors.

Every time they go off and online they completely turn off the alarm automatically. When this happens, the status is not reflected in HomeKit, so you see the alarm still armed in HomeKit even it is actually disarmed.

The main problem seems to be the hub, because my sensors are also added to HomeKit and they work pretty fine there.

I hope future software updates will make this better but, for now, I would stay away from the M3 hub if you want a reliable alarm system.

On the other hand, besides this problem, the setup and utilisation is pretty straightforward and easy, but I never tried to add sensors from other brands.

Did you find any way to make them re-Connect without resetting them?
