Quite proud with the results of our attempt at limiting water usage. It was already quite low, but we were able to drop it another ~20m3.

In NL average water usage for 4 people is ~191m3 according to https://www.waternet.nl/en/service-and-contact/tap-water/average-water-use/

Ours is ~95m3

Hope to see you there!

Yes, it's 14th of Feb again. Time to put #freesoftware #opensource #openstandards #opencontent @creativecommons @fsfe in the spotlight. The things we as humans can do if we just share & combine our capabilities...

Mhh, it still occasionally fails to power on. Wake-on-lan to the rescue 😉

If you have an issue with an Intel NUC of not powering on AND you have checked the obvious culprits (see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005845/intel-nuc.html), try contact cleaner (e.g. https://www.conrad.nl/p/kontakt-chemie-kontakt-61-70509-ah-smeer-en-beschermingsolie-200-ml-884057) on the physical power switch on the board. This fixed my 'bricked' Intel NUC.

January 2021....means #jamuary2021 One musical sketch a day for the month of January once initiated by @CUCKOOMUSIC It will be hard, but I'll try to make to the end..

My sketches can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL4CiarXlTw&list=PL7etFOajnbltCrloVBByQZpODzLJ6KTmi

Just released my tiny #WordPress plugin to disable #Gutenberg core block patterns. Useful for letting users select their theme while preventing them to use the default core block patterns.

Questions:

- One can buy the "This Is Not a Drill: An Extinction Rebellion Handbook", but afaict it is not available @XRebellionUK's website as a download?

- Why are designs from @XRebellionUK not available under a @creativecommons indicating allowed &prohibited use?

If you're going to watch (or have watched it already) Netflix's "The Social Dilemma" read this piece https://conversationalist.org/2020/03/05/the-prodigal-techbro/ by @mariafarrell It puts in words the nagging feeling this docu gave me. Via @aral (thanks).

Check https://banabila.bandcamp.com/album/to-yemen-with-love-2 It's a great compilation of electronic, ambient & 'world' (for lack of a better term) music curated by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Banabila. Bonus: your purchase will support 2 organisations trying to make things less bad for people in Yemen. #musica

Great, Murphy's Law: pandemic and our @PhilipsNL television of 3yrs breaks down. Apparently not within warranty...I guess the next tv (or any applicance) will not be a Philips one. #FirstWorldProblems

Interesting blend of #blackmetal, #noir #Jazz in White Ward. Recommended!

Update: The Spanish label, agreed this was not their work and I got my dispute solved. Hoorah!

Funny, or actually not 😞. I got a copyright claim on one of my tracks called "Let's Dance" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WObmxe8U56w made during #jamuary2020. By a Spanish(?) label representing 'Autumn Comets' for a piece of footage which according to #Prelinger Archive is in the #publicdomain. So I have opened a dispute. Apparently Google's automagical algorithm cannot read nor understand a video's description. This will be interesting. #copyright #creativecommons

Each time I use my #ansible books I have to change stuff because the syntax has changed. Once again I wonder about the benefits of Ansible for a self-employed geek like myself...
