Even een reminder aan mezelf, omwat we aan Remeha Calenta Ace hebben en het niet helemaal duidelijk is of deze bij de vorige bewoners echt goed op het huis is ingeregeld.
Het nadeel van Remeha is dat ze volstrekt chaotisch onduidelijke handleidinge hebben waar het lastig is essentiele instellingen in terug te vinden: er zijn veel te veel instellingen met allemaal onduidelijke nummering waarbij hele reeksen nummers worden overgeslagen.
De Remeha Calenta Ace serie is inmidels zo’n 7 jaar in productie.

I hope someone has also archived all these in the Internet Archive as this is a great collection of historic material: [WaybackSave/Archive] GitHub – gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines: Apple Human Interface Guidelines, et al.
If you have more of them: add them via a pull-request.

A client that went belly up in the early 1990s had all these and similar books. In retrospect, I though have found a way to obtain them but back then I didn’t value the uniqueness of them enough and didn’t have the storage space for it (I lived in a 30m² apartment).

Perl isn’t my strength, so I was glad to find the below links that inspired me to add this bash function to my profile decoding Quote-Printable email data (for instance used by sendmail and postfix to store SMTP message files):
# https://superuser.com/questions/1452249/fix-revert-wrong-encoding-of-file
function sendmail-decode-quoted-printable-from-stdin() {
perl -0777 -ne 'use MIME::QuotedPrint; print decode_qp($_)'
}

This was a cool post: [Wayback/Archive] 433 MHz is not dead! Using an ESP32 board with LoRa module to talk to 433 MHz sensors – CNX Software
433MHz LoRa Transceiver-based ESP32 board work with regular 433 MHz sensors found on the market. This gives end users a simple off-the-shelf solution for receiving these signals without having to use a soldering iron and making a circuit.
…
This opens many doors regarding 433 MHz sensor readings with one device, including weather stations, doors, PIR, TPMS, temperature, and BBQ sensors.
Recommended reading!

NewsGuard August 2025 One Year Progress Report: Percentage of Responses Containing False Information
This is what I have been warning for since 2020: AI LLM will end up in a downward quality spiral.
My reasoning back then, and still now is that they:
- cannot distinguish LLM generated training data from human data making the LLM worse over time
- don’t perform human curation thereby not solving the worsening
I’m not surprised by the [Wayback/Archive] August 2025 — AI False Claim Monitor – NewsGuard summary:
AI False Information Rate Nearly Doubles in One Year

I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Beyond the Cloud: Brooklyn Zelenka on Local-First Software | gotopia.tech
It is a great session with guidance how to kind of go “back to the future” by amending cloud based applications to run locally by means of caching and syncing data. No small feat, but very convenient for end-users to have their – recently regarded as old-fashioned – local running applications back.
There is a – member’s only – video of it as well at [Wayback/Archive] Beyond the Cloud: The Local-First Software Revolution • Brooklyn Zelenka & Julian Wood • GOTO 2025 – YouTube

Voor mijn link archief: KPN telefooncentrales, waarvan een paar waar familie of ik een aansluiting had:
[Wayback/Archive] Wijkcentrales – VVDSL.robinflikkema.nl
Deze hadden Mojibake met de generic replacement character (“�”):

Some notes as it might enable me to install software that homebrew has deprecated or removed (note that local changes by default are ignored as the brew API takces precedence):
