Lars Boelen op Twitter: hoe koel je je woning ‘s nachts voor als voorbereiding van een hittegolf – laat je huis als schoorsteen werken en voer de warme lucht af

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/06/02

Een paar jaar terug kwam dit interessante bericht langs van [Wayback/Archive] Lars Boelen 🍃 on Twitter: “Dat kan! En wel door je woning ‘s nacht voor te koelen. Dat doe je door ‘s nachts beneden een raam of deur inbraakveilig open te zetten (dat zal soms wat creativiteit vragen) en zo hoog mogelijk in huis een raam. Het huis gaat daardoor als schoorsteen werken”

Barcodes van statiegeldflessen

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/29

Het overkomt te vaak dat barcodes beschadigd of overplakt zijn (hallo Too Good to Go, hallo “samen minder verspillen” van Jumbo en vergelijkbare acties)

Daarom wat barcodes van producten die je er overheen kunt plakken:

10-inch racks have apparently been a thing for the last few years. Some links.

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/13

When at look at a local Amazon site, they have plenty of stuff: [Wayback/Archive] Amazon.de : 10 inch rack

2023 example via [Wayback/Archive] Ikea Eket DIY 10″ Rack (UK) [build showcase] · Issue #22 · geerlingguy/mini-rack · GitHub:

Via [WaybackSave/Archive] Jeff Geerling on X: “Everyone in #Homelab knows about the DIY 19″ IKEA LACK rack… but did you know IKEA makes the perfect mini rack furniture, too? Presenting stirkage’s Eket rack! …”

[Wayback/Archive] Tweet JSON (image on the right).

That tweet and [WaybackSave/Archive] Jeff Geerling on X: “Indeed… there’s gotta be some nerd at @IKEA who’s ensuring certain furniture fits standard sized rackmount gear, right?” (image below via [Wayback/Archive] Tweet JSON) have some interesting replies, making the list of usable IKEA products at least this:

You can buy some of them at [Wayback/Archive] Amazon.com: LovelyWings, for instance the brown version of the [Wayback/Archive] Amazon.com: Perpetual Motion Machine – Infinitive Marble Machine – William Le’s Perpetual Motion Simulator : Handmade Products.

Epic Games v. Apple: Apple has never lost this hard before – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/09

For my link archive: finally Apple had to broadly accept apps to allow other forms of purchases than through Apple itself.

[Wayback/Archive] Apple has never lost this hard before – YouTube

focussing around this quote from the court order (full PDF below):

Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court’s Injunction. It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers which would, by design and in effect, maintain a valued revenue stream; a revenue stream previously found to be anticompetitive. That it thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. As always, the cover- up made it worse. For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple.

BMW E61 Trunk Leak – Sunroof Drain Failure – 2004-2010 5 Series Wagon

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/21

Try first to remove any debris from the drains from the panoramic sunroof/moonroof side or remove the valve with grommet at the lowest end. Some YouTube video’s explain how to do that.

It looks like a sunroof often has front drain holes clogged and a panoramaroof often the back drain holes; where it leaks depends how your car is tilted while parked.

You might want to move the electronics that are in the well under the spare wheel to the left hand side of the trunk.

Furthermore, the electric cabling on the E61 that runs underneath the hinges of the trunk and trunk window mechanisms tend to break over time causing all kinds of electrical issues.

A list related to those first:
