Wat is de maximale huurverhoging voor een vrijesectorwoning in 2026? | Rijksoverheid.nl
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/30
Edit 20260601: Tagged “missed schedule” vanwege de WordPress.com missed schedule bug die sinds 2012 niet is opgelost (kennelijk kan WordPress wel iets met AI, maar een lijst met meer dan 100 geagendeerde blogposts is “too big” voor ze)
Origineel:
Voor in het huurdossier: [Wayback/Archive] Wat is de maximale huurverhoging voor een vrijesectorwoning in 2026? | Rijksoverheid.nl
In 2026 is de jaarlijkse huurverhoging voor vrijesectorwoningen maximaal 4,4%. Dit geldt ook voor ligplaatsen voor woonboten. De huurverhoging moet wel als afspraak in uw huurcontract staan.

Your presenter might not be dead, and a stupid USB cable with large plug needed to “Charge the Logitech Spotlight presentation remote”
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/29
A follow-up on my previous post on Logitech presenters: Logitech remotes for presenting
Did my Logitech Spotlight die, or did the charging cable die?
I had not presented for a couple of years because of my cancer. So I tried to recharged my hardly used Logitech Spotlight presenter. No light would turn on. I thought it was the USB cable being broken.

Some tools for conference organisers
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/21
Just in case I ever get involved in organising a conference:
- [Wayback/Archive] frab | conference management system
- [Wayback/Archive] cbeyls/fosdem-companion-android: FOSDEM Companion for Android
- [Wayback/Archive] rkallensee/fosdem-android: This is a native Android app which helps you to manage the FOSDEM conference schedule on your phone. Note: this is a fork of the app of orrc (https://github.com/orrc/fosdem-android) which is in turn a fork of the “official” app hosted on Sourceforge (https://github.com/orrc/fosdem-android).

Ein Blick zurück – das beste Auto der 70er Jahre – YouTube – W116 450SEL 6.9 aus der Schweiz
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/15
As a memory to our almost identical Swiss W116 450SEL 6.9 a video in Swiss German about it: [Wayback/Archive] Ein Blick zurück – das beste Auto der 70er Jahre – YouTube.
This one with fabric, white headlights and ABS, ours with leather, yellow headlights plus headlight wipers, and no ABS (it took around chassis numbers ending around 750 until ABS was available: ours was slightly earlier)

Ventoy: an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/01
When undergoing cancer treatment, I missed the launch of [Wayback/Archive] Ventoy:
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.
You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
Source code: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ventoy/Ventoy: A new bootable USB solution. (2020 new, that is, but for me it was actually new)
Wikipedia: Ventoy – Wikipedia
Note there is also [Wayback/Archive] iVentoy, which is a PXE boot tool, but only partially open source and if used commercially you need a license. See:
