Koushik Dutta (Koush) – Google+Hackintosh Guide: GA-X99P-SLI | Intel 6950X | GTX 980ti

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/05

If I ever want to create a GPU grade or server grade Mac system: [WayBack] Hackintosh Guide: GA-X99P-SLI | Intel 6950X | GTX 980ti New Hackintosh is complete. If you want to recreate my setup, here’s the guide I wrote up.… – Koushik Dutta (Koush) – Google+

It’s nicely wrapped up: koush/EFI-X99: Hackintosh Guide: Gigabyte X99P-SLI, Intel 6950X, GeForce GTX 980ti

(Apple still sells Mac OS X Server, but no server grade hardware any more)

Note there are others having an X99 hackintosh.

#Tech45 – Nederlandstalige tech-podcast

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/05

Al een jaar of wat volg ik de Nederlandstalige #Tech45 podcast van tech45.eu:

Tech45 is een wekelijkse technologiepodcast. In minstens 45 minuten loodst een panel je door het interessantste technieuws van de voorbije week.

Ze hebben altijd een leuke titel zoals bijvoorbeeld de eerste van 2016: [WayBack] Tech45 #322: Ik heb eigenlijk alleen maar slechte voornemens

Wees niet verbaast als het ineens 60 of 80 minuten duurt en vol humor zit. Meestal luister ik ook na afloop en soms meerdere episodes achter elkaar.

Misschien is de nieuwe layout al af, zo niet dan staat het experiment op [WayBack] http://43.tech45.eu/

»Smart car = vulnerable car Smart watch = vulnerable watch Smart home =…

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/02

I wonder what has become of Hypponen’s law:

Whenever an appliance is described as being “smart”, it’s vulnerable.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/01

For my link archive: [WayBack] Zorgkantoor Zorg en Zekerheid: Zorgbeschrijvingen en zorgovereenkomsten

Note: the meta description in the page HTML mentions AWBZ but should mention WLZ:

<meta name=”description” content=”Website van de Zorgkantoren Zuid-Holland Noord &amp; Amstelland en de Meerlanden, met informatie over de AWBZ, het zorgaanbod in de regio, zorgverstrekking en eigen bijdrage, het persoons gebonden budget etc. Het zorgkantoor is verantwoordelijk voor de uitvoering van AWBZ-zorg in de regio.” />

Some links on getting a Remeha Avanta 35c connected to LoT

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/01

I like LAN of Things over Internet of Things, so I want to connect my Remeha Avanta 35c heater to something that has ethernet.

For Windows, there is Remeha ReCom software:

It connects via an (expensive) “USB” cable which basically is a USB to serial TTL converter:

Note that Avanta/Calenta/Tzerra heaters are all very similar, especially on the communication side.

For their differences, see [WayBack] Veelgestelde vragen – Remeha

YouTube videos in Markdown – via Markdown Cheatsheet · adam-p

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/28

Clever, as I didn’t know you could directly refer to the YouTube preview image using the “/0.jpg” trick:

Youtube videos

They can’t be added directly but you can add an image with a link to the video like this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE
" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE/0.jpg" 
alt="IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE" width="240" height="180" border="10" /></a>

Or, in pure Markdown, but losing the image sizing and border:

[![IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE](http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE)

Source: [WayBack] Markdown Cheatsheet · adam-p/markdown-here Wiki · GitHub

Gif using gifs.com

If you allow using resources outside of YouTube, then you can use gifs.com to render the video into a gif image and use that image in the above construct.

I tried that with a few seconds from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHOpw55TI-U which resulted in https://gifs.com/gif/liquid-prompt-Lg1kPp and the gif file https://j.gifs.com/Lg1kPp.gif
