Het is weer midden december, dus tijd om na te denken over je zorgverzekering.
Zoals elk jaar maakte de KNMP een tabel van wat welke zorgmiddelen door de diverse verzekeraarsgroepen van zorgverzekeringen vergoed wordt.
Nieuw dit jaar is een kolom over het preferentiebeleid. Voor diverse verzekeraarsgroepen gaan geprefereerde medicijnen niet meer af van het eigen risico: het voorkomt niet alleen verrassingen aan de balie, maar zorgt er ook voor dat je beter de kosten vooraf kunt voorspellen.
Dat een verzekeraar een zorgmiddel niet via de apotheek vergoedt, betekent niet dat het zonder vergoeding is: zo moet ik mijn incontinentiemateriaal bij Medireva bestellen en dan wordt het toch direct aan Medireva vergoed.

Most of my Fritz!Boxes are configured as switches, have a unique and strong password, are hung up in hard to reach spaces, do not have phone handsets attached or Fritz app connected. Which means that every time you want to do something sensitive operations (like backing up your data or generating support information from a URL like 192.168.178.1/support.lua) you get a nag screen, so this escape is golden to remove that nag-screen:

This is for earliest compact Apple Macintosh systems predating the introduction ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) on Macintosh SE and Apple Macintosh II (and Apple IIgs which technically is not a Macintosh):
[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – trekawek/mac-plus-ps2: Arduino project that allows to connect a PS2 keyboard to Macintosh Plus
Before continuing to an even more impressive keyboard and mouse interfacing project below (basically many kinds of modern keyboard, mice and gamepads to many retro computers) that I found thanks to doing some more research after finding the above one, lets summarise where the above one is still useful for:

I wonder if this has changed over the last few years since this got published early 2023: [Wayback/Archive] Memory Bandwidth Per Core and Per Socket for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC
While we are looking at bandwidth per core, the performance per core has increased by 2.5-3x over the past decade.

Nog niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?

Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.
Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.
Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.
De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
- …
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
- …
- ³
Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:
Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:

A cool LED display that is programmable through Python (see [Wayback/Archive] Action led paneel – Boekenwuurm’s blog) made me realise how big Action has grown:
About EUR 20 or CHF 24 in the order of the below query:
There is also a square one, but that one does not remember it’s content during a power off/on cycle.
The above blog mentions this library which sees regular updates: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – lucagoc/pypixelcolor: A Python library to control iPixel Color devices.

Despite UML (Unified Modelling Language) not having a specific diagram mode for computer networks, PlantUML does support a computer network diagram mode.
Here are some links that got me going to design a site to site VPN situation that I will document in more detail later on this blog.

The below blog post sparked my thought into finally having words for what bothered me for such a long time using LLM for coding:
When using LLM for coding, you basically unlearn to solve simple problems. That practically also removes your ability to solve the difficult problems that LLM cannot help solving.

Because the day we stop struggling with hard problems is the day we stop being programmers, and become something else entirely.

A while ago I got an error 103 using both Beyond Compare. That did not whos the connection log or error reason, but WinSCP did: it mentioned unexpected output during the logon.
I got reminded that I had already solved this error before via [Wayback/Archive] SSH login works but SFTP login doesn’t – Server Fault (thanks [Wayback/Archive] qreon and [Wayback/Archive] Paulus):
