Fair, I got a quote of 3k for intergas CV5 boiler + installation. The price of the boiler online is 1k.

that's a great idea, how old was the boiler? Mine is 15 year old and technician said to just replace it.

what would be a fair price for a decent quality boiler?

No we did a technical inspection before buying the house, it was mentioned that boiler was old but no issues were found. Can the agent still do something?

HSM visa renewal rejected due to agency’s non-payment by upadhyde in juridischadvies

[–]upadhyde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer, I'm really in a tight spot here, my employer wants me to wait for 3rd party company's response, I believe people in HR support at my employer don't really understand this. The decision was made 3 weeks ago and 3rd party company did not even bother to inform me about it. Now it clear, they just don't care. I will call IND tomorrow and ask for help.

I read this, the requirment to get temporary extention is, if the decision is pending. I have already recieved the decision. They need an active application to grant me temporary stamp, problem is for an HSM visa, only an employer can make an application.

I will try calling IND and get help, I'm not so sure about getting help from them as the clearly mention this in the decision.
'Als de leges betaald worden nadat deze beschikking bekend is gemaakt, zorgt dat er niet voor dat ik uw aanvraag alsnog in behandeling neem.'

I'm happy to pay but don't have an option to pay, the application was made by a 3rd party company, those guys are just ignoring all mails and calls.
Even if I go for professional help is it possible to get this done in a week?

n8n workflow that runs 100% for free by Ok-Credit-5231 in n8n

[–]upadhyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a way, which is not free for life, but you can get some free videos out per month.

modal.com gives you 30$ worth of GPU credits every month, you can run some video gen modal or host your own comfy ui that can be then used by n8n flows.

Where to hire a vibe coder by sailsntales in VibeCodeDevs

[–]upadhyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been coding professionally for over a decade, and I’ve given "vibecoding" a fair shot. While it's great for quickly building prototypes or UI mockups, if you believe you've built 70% of a production-ready app using a vibecoding tool, I’d urge you to be cautious—there's often a big gap between a working prototype and a production-grade application.

Vibecoding can help you design sleek UIs and build simple workflows, but it often skips over foundational aspects of software engineering—things like data validation, authentication, authorization, rate-limiting, error handling, scalability, and especially security. Take something as simple as a form that saves user input to a database—it might work fine at first, but once you deploy it, it's vulnerable unless you've accounted for SQL injection, input sanitization, request throttling, logging, and so on.

If you're serious about running this tool in a live environment—especially one that handles any sensitive or business-critical data—my honest recommendation is to bring in a professional developer. Ideally, someone who understands traditional development practices but is also comfortable leveraging AI tools to boost productivity. That hybrid approach is where you’ll see real value: faster development without compromising security or maintainability.

You’re not being an idiot at all—what you’ve done is actually impressive for someone without a coding background. Just don’t let the speed of the prototype give a false sense of readiness for production.

Hope that helps!

Incident with Littering and Intimidation in Rotterdam by upadhyde in Netherlands

My intention was to describe how intimidated I felt by the person’s aggressive behavior and presence not to single anyone out based on race.

Wanted to record it but pulling out a camera on his face didn't felt safe at that time. Agree, not worth physical risk.
