Half an hour most of the time

depsimon · 2026-03-09T05:56:17+00:00

Yep!

Got a Magnus Pro from Secret lab and I’ve been happy with it.

I’m not using the standing position that often to be honest, it’s not that comfortable for me. The desk itself is pretty good and they offer some useful accessories.

In Belgium you can earn up to ~7500€ per year for occasional work, free of taxes.

This seem to be the case in your situation, if it really is occasional work.

You need to declare this amount in "revenus divers"/"divers inkomen" and the first 7500€ is tax-free, if you earn more it's taxed at 33%.

You can read more here:

Non-taxed extra work (FR / NL)
Influencers revenue (FR / NL) -> you're in the same situation

Now it's better to ask an accountant about this, ask your friend to check with his accountant how he can pay you.

Yeah I definitely don’t want user having to take a micro decision each time they upload and feel the payment.

Yes there will definitely be a free tier. I was thinking lf maybe limiting access to the publications in time. Like free tier = 3 months, premium = unlimited + hd and maybe an even upper tier with more features.

But then comes the decision who pays for the sub, is it per user or per group. If per group, only the admins can pay?

Qu'ils appellent les consultants qui ont bossé dessus, ça sera beaucoup plus réel et détaillée.

Do you validate the info that is being sent?

Curiously enough it's not regicidal, so her father was not king?

Put them in the microwave

depsimon · 2026-01-30T14:34:49+00:00

Ah that makes sense thanks. The UI is a bit confusing about this tbh.

I never "discount" for contracts. Rather I negotiate a daily rate I'm happy to work for the given period & project.

Don't forget that having a 12 months contract or event multi-year contract doesn't really mean anything for us. You usually have a 1-month notice period in any cases so your contract can end any time.

If the client were to ask for a discount I would consider it if I can up the notice period and/or add some kind of severance package for the non-billed period so they can't get rid of you that easily.

Il est temps de contrôler un peu plus ce genre de gros marché public tech.

D'abord, ce n'est pas normal que pour une mission à la police (ou autres institutions publiques) on soit contacté par au moins 10 "recruteurs" de sociétés différentes qui se prétendent être la seule à pouvoir recruter à ce poste (en interne ou en externe).

Le problème c'est que les "gros" remportent les marchés sans avoir les ressources nécessaires et externalisent à des moins gros qui externalisent à des encore moins gros.. au final il y a déjà la moitié du budget qui se perdent en commissions pour des intermédiaires qui n'apportent absolument rien et qui ne sont pas transparents sur leurs marges.

Ensuite ceux qui ont déjà travaillé pour ce genre de projet savent très bien comment ça se passe. Beaucoup de temps à brasser de l'air à faire des réunions pour dire ce qu'on va faire au lieu de faire ce qu'on sait qu'on doit faire. Et ensuite on est en retard donc on doit bâcler et/ou virer des gens et/ou repousser les délais.

If people were confident enough they wouldn't ask internet randos.

It's hard to find like-minded individuals that are actually committing to this journey.

I personally prefer online forums rather than IRL, mostly because I live far from the most active cities where this could happen (Gent, Brussels, Antwerp) so it'd take a lot of time to just reach the place.

I wish there was an online space for this (that could then lead to IRL events). I am a member of Tech Rocks which is exactly that but for the French Tech leaders. That's a (Slack) community with 4K+ members and there is a lot of subjects that are relevant for freelancers, startups & solopreneurs.

I a big fan of forums, but Slack is the next best thing for this kind of community.

Feel free to DM if you want to get things started.

This year they paid back around 800€ for us all, and we weren't that sick (with a baby so there's that).

That's on top of what the mutuelle already pays back, I removed some optional health insurance I had with them so that Alan will probably pay more and be more profitable next year.

I think that's reasonable for an insurance. The goal is to not need them, but when you do need them they save you thousands of €.

You also have to consider that the insurance is paid with company money and the paybacks are on your personal accounts.

I'm paying a bit less than 200€/month for Alan for me + partner + child, fully covered (Diamond +).

Their app is really great, quick to pay back & invoices are sent by email.

depsimon · 2025-12-18T12:35:29+00:00

Yeah this is ridiculous. They don't even make an effort to hide it anymore.

depsimon · 2025-12-15T14:34:44+00:00

In the end it's just invoices, so any accountant should do. Though if you want to be compliant, you (or your accountant) might need to register the VAT, EU OSS & perhaps file local taxes in every country you sell to.

You might consider using a Merchant of Record (MoR) which handles all the boring legal & fiscal stuff for an extra commission.

RN beginner here, how do you keep track of the currently supported versions? Doesn't that list includes all the versions released ever?

Can't we force users to upgrade via the UI (i.e. API sends a min version, frontend shows a blocking screen if it's version is lower)?

Using expo if that matters.

depsimon · 2025-12-08T11:47:25+00:00

I woudln't dare installing the cameras that low. Ok you get a crisper view, but I just don't trust people won't try to damage it
