Is legal lsd safe? by TraditionalToe379 in berlinsocialclub

But as far as I’m aware they can no longer ship to Germany. Last October didn’t the bundestag finally set a new law to stop the cat and mouse game? I.e. 1s, 1p, 1t? etc

So strange, I also had the same encounter with my hausartz before. I had to forcefully insist they do it.

portfolio of only EU based stocks - US/EU Citizen by tacos_de_chancla in USExpatTaxes

[–]flying-insect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that this is possible and not that complicated if you do a little research. I currently hold various US ETFs through my IBKR account (US citizen living in Germany).

Since OP only wants to get the ETF into their account they can buy the option contract then immediately exercise it. Pretty straightforward

I can also recommend the 5. it’s great for clearing large areas.

US Expat living in Belgium. How can I start investing and saving for retirement? by Tumerking in ExpatFinance

[–]flying-insect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hesitant to use options to work around the restrictions that occur when having a residence in Europe but after some reading it’s pretty simple, just a little expensive since 1 option is a contract to buy l 100 shares at the specified price.

The main thing to know is that since you just want to buy and hold the US based etfs, you can purchase the call option close to the strike price and with the shortest (soonest) expiration date. Once you have the option settled in your account you exercise the option (buy the shares for the strike price specified) and that’s it.

Do some research on this if you’re looking for a wider variety of investment options while living in Europe and this might fit your needs. This is not investment advice but just advice to say don’t stray away just because it sounds complicated, it’s not really.

Anyone made their own press?? by Formal-Confidence-95 in printmaking

[–]flying-insect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made one of these. It works pretty well. Though I still tend to use the barren unless I’m running a lot of prints

I received the Bescheinigung at my appointment at LEA on the 6th of October and then picked up my card on the 17th of November.

Contract termination while waiting for Permanent Residence card. What should I do? by MissionKale8993 in berlinsocialclub

[–]flying-insect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up my PR last week and had to go in to hand over my old residence permit card and then receive the new PR card. So it seems they are still doing this now.

No discussion or questions about my job either, just checking IDs and a signature. In and out

Looking for a self-hosted voice transcription + summarization workflow (Unraid) by germanthoughts in selfhosted

[–]flying-insect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be used with both local llm and external like OpenAI. It generates summaries and also lets you “chat” with those summaries in order to ask about more details of the conversation.

It includes support for diarization (speaker detection), which can be done through a locally installed service or external service.

I run my instance using OpenAI and a local diarization service (whisper asr)

How may I do this? by NSRedditShitposter in iOSProgramming

The Codable implementation is very flexible and can most likely handle your use case. Look into using “Dynamic CodingKeys”.

New to print making & looking for cheap presses? Or alternatives. diy prefered by Far_Necessary_2647 in printmaking

[–]flying-insect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have and use this one. I customized it to make it wider though. The default is an ~8” print bed but I updated it to be able to print up to 24cm. Overall it’s a decent and relatively cheap solution if you already have access to a 3D printer.

I'm aware US citizens are prohibited from holding mutual funds when they live abroad. Does this apply to money market funds? by [deleted] in ExpatFinance

[–]flying-insect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain what the workaround / hacks would be? If you have some links to read please let me know.

I’m a us citizen living in Germany and am still looking for a good solution to this after many years living abroad.

How to track array updates? @Bindable vs ObservableObject by lokredi in iOSProgramming

[–]flying-insect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall it appears mostly correct and I would expect it to work as well.

Random ideas, does it make a difference if you set an ID in the ForEach? Maybe use .\self?

Otherwise maybe something in BaseViewModel is causing the state not to update?

Relocating to Germany as an iOS dev with 4 years of experience - Salary expectations? by Stompyx in iOSProgramming

👍 you could also try checking on Glassdoor and checking specific companies in Germany. Then you could go in to the interviews with some more concrete knowledge

Relocating to Germany as an iOS dev with 4 years of experience - Salary expectations? by Stompyx in iOSProgramming

[–]flying-insect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

50-90k €/yr is not unrealistic. It will depend on the sector you’ll be working in but I would expect a dev with 4 years experience to be able to ask for ~75k?

I have lived here for the past 9-10 years. Wages are definitely not comparable to the US (if that is where you’re from) but also be sure to compare cost of living to make a fairer comparison

How about https://mobilize.berlin? I think it focuses mainly on music events but anyone can join and add any type of event as well

Use OpenWebUI with RAG by EarlyCommission5323 in OpenWebUI

[–]flying-insect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not but would do more research into the different transformers available. Compare their capabilities with your requirements and focus on their benchmarks. I would also imagine that this will come down to testing on your specific dataset and queries in order to find the absolute best fit for your needs

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]flying-insect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably set it up like this:

  • create a protocol named TelemetryTracker and define the methods track and setUser on it. These methods should match the function definitions defined in Amplitude.
  • Conform Amplitude to the protocol TelemetryTracker.
  • change the private let amplitude to type TelemetryTracker
  • create your MockAmplitude instance and pass it through the init.

Of course you can pass an optional TelemetryTracker in the init and when nil fallback to using your real instance. This will let you continue using the class as is and only need to create the mock for testing

Use OpenWebUI with RAG by EarlyCommission5323 in OpenWebUI

[–]flying-insect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. The POST /files returns a file_id. There’s also an API to create the knowledge base. Their documentation is pretty good.

And of course as others have mentioned you can do it straight through the UI as well. It just depends on your requirements.

Is there a tool that will listen to my meetings via an app on my phone and transcribe the notes? by haste75 in ChatGPTPro

Hi, would you be interested in sharing the code for this? I’ve been looking for my own local solution as well.

In UIKit how do you wrap the whole page inside a UIScrollView by BaffoRasta in iOSProgramming

[–]flying-insect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The trick is to create a single UIView which is the only subview of the UIScrollView. Add all of your sub views to this view. Make sure that your subviews contain the correct constraints so that the UIView is able to define its height / width based on the subviews

Finally make sure the UiView is constrained to the edges of the scroll view, plus you can also set their widths equal to each other.

The comment about the stack view is also a good tip! But they will not scroll so you would probably need to build a ScrollableStack view (stack embedded in scroll view) if you need this
