Temperature controlled fans usable for DIGITUS Professional Network Wall Housing – Soho Wall Cabinet: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/26

TL;DR: avoid Digitus AC fans, but use DC case fans with built-in/external temperature controller plus 12V or USB-step-up power supply and optionally fan grilles/meshes.

A while ago, I bought a 7U shallow 19-inch rack cabinet to house some of our network equipment for the offices and other rooms at the top floor: [Wayback/Archive] DIGITUS Professional Network Wall Housing – Soho Wall Cabinet: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

Since it was to be mounted in the boiler room, which is on the top floor under a flat roof, it would get warm so I wanted fans installed in it under or over the air vents in the housing (the cabinet is delivered as flat-pack with parts pictured below and requires about half an hour assembly time):

Currently, the Wayback Machine is having issues from The Netherlands, but hopefully their archivals appear to be complete when the Wayback Machine gets fully up again.

Dashboard: Invoices – Proton Account

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/15

For the yearly administration shizzle, the direct link to Dashboard: Invoices – Proton Account (account.proton.me/u/dashboard#invoices) where sometimes you have to visit one of your product first.

The reason is that at the time of writing, this was documented to be in a different place, as per [Wayback/Archive] How to download, customize, or pay invoices | Proton

Log in to your Proton Account at account.proton.me on a computer, click Settings → All settings → Dashboard, and scroll down to Invoices.

You start at [Wayback/Archive] account.proton.me/login and end up at account.proton.me/apps and that is where you cannot choose settings. You can however go to individual products and via that to the above invoices link. That’s cumbersome, it is way easier to just follow that invoices link, but in case you want to go via the products, these are the steps to follow:

Tabel met apotheekvergoedingen per verzekeraar

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/15

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.
