Is aanmelden van energieopslag voor particulieren bij energieleveren.nl echt nodig?

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/07

Begin van de zomer waren er een aantal korte artikelen in de tech/energie niche over aanmelden van particulieren bij energieleveren.nl wanneer die thuis een mogelijkheid hebben voor energieopslag vanaf 0,8 kWh.

Ik vraag me af of dat terecht is, want:

  • nergens op energieleveren.nl of in hun FAQ staat iets vermeld over opslag, batterij of accu (wel over opwekken)
  • de gerefereerde Netcode Elektriciteit schrijft alleen over bedrijfsmiddelen (en gaat daarmee over ondernemingen in plaats van particulieren)

De overeenkomst tussen de artikelen was dat ze er allemaal – met uitzondering van Solar Magazine – uitzagen alsof ze eenzelfde oorspronkelijk bericht (wellicht een persbericht?) een kein beetje hadden aangepast en er niet dieper op in gingen.

Voorlopig wacht ik daarom bredere en duidelijker communicatie hierover af, want als de overheid dit wil dan is er betere draagvlakcommunicatie nodig. Daarom een bekende quote van Andrea Walraven-Thissen:

Better, Stronger, Safer jQuerify Bookmarklet | Learning jQuery

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/06

For my link archive, the [Wayback] Better, Stronger, Safer jQuerify Bookmarklet | Learning jQuery

Via: [Wayback/Archive.is] Include jQuery in the JavaScript Console – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive.is] brichins!)

When you do not have jQuery installed, then the Chrome console will give you the error [Wayback/Archive.is] javascript – TypeError: $(...).children is not a function – Stack Overflow which has code to load jQuery in this gist: [Wayback/Archive.is] use jQuery in Chrome javascript console.

If this bookmarklet ever starts to fail, then I need to check out these links:

The content of the JQueryfi bookmarklet is in the below gist:


javascript:(function(){var%20el=document.createElement(%22div%22),b=document.getElementsByTagName(%22body%22)[0],otherlib=!1,msg=%22%22;el.style.position=%22fixed%22,el.style.height=%2232px%22,el.style.width=%22220px%22,el.style.marginLeft=%22-110px%22,el.style.top=%220%22,el.style.left=%2250%25%22,el.style.padding=%225px%2010px%22,el.style.zIndex=1001,el.style.fontSize=%2212px%22,el.style.color=%22#222%22,el.style.backgroundColor=%22#f99%22;function%20showMsg(){var%20txt=document.createTextNode(msg);el.appendChild(txt),b.appendChild(el),window.setTimeout(function(){txt=null,typeof%20jQuery==%22undefined%22?b.removeChild(el):(jQuery(el).fadeOut(%22slow%22,function(){jQuery(this).remove()}),otherlib&&(window.$jq=jQuery.noConflict()))},2500)}if(typeof%20jQuery!=%22undefined%22)return%20msg=%22This%20page%20already%20using%20jQuery%20v%22+jQuery.fn.jquery,showMsg();typeof%20$==%22function%22&&(otherlib=!0);function%20getScript(url,success){var%20script=document.createElement(%22script%22);script.src=url;var%20head=document.getElementsByTagName(%22head%22)[0],done=!1;script.onload=script.onreadystatechange=function(){!done&&(!this.readyState||this.readyState==%22loaded%22||this.readyState==%22complete%22)&&(done=!0,success(),script.onload=script.onreadystatechange=null,head.removeChild(script))},head.appendChild(script)}getScript(%22http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js%22,function(){return%20typeof%20jQuery==%22undefined%22?msg=%22Sorry,%20but%20jQuery%20was%20not%20able%20to%20load%22:(msg=%22This%20page%20is%20now%20jQuerified%20with%20v%22+jQuery.fn.jquery,otherlib&&(msg+=%22%20and%20noConflict().%20Use%20$jq(),%20not%20$().%22)),showMsg()})})();

Some links on Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H mainboards

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/05

The board supports mSATA which is an older standard so it is harder to get media for it. I keep mixing up mSATA and M.2 all the time, so:

The Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H manuals (see below) note “The mSATA connector conforms to SATA 3Gb/s standard and can connect to a single solid-state drive.”

Herhaald appel aan #MeerOverMedisch (hallo @ReneSteenhorst): zorg dat je behalve per columnist de columns van individuele columnisten makkelijk terug kunt vinden. Bijvoorbeeld de geweldige columns van @IvanWolffers.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/05

Ik herhaal mijn appel van een paar weken terug:

[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Tip voor #MeerOverMedisch (ik hoop dat @ReneSteenhorst dit kan laten fiksen): zorg dat je behalve meerovermedisch.nl/columntypes/gastcolumn/ ook per columnist de columns van individuele columnisten makkelijk terug kunt vinden. Bijvoorbeeld de geweldige columns van @IvanWolffers.”

De volledige draad vind je op [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App, waarover hieronder meer.

Last week xs4all internet really has shut down and two long term “buddies” suddenly have a completely different life

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/04

For posterity these two tweets from xs4all unixbeheer dudes:

For me it is a strange feeling, but for Cor, Jan-Pieter and some others that also stayed until the very last it is even stranger: after so many years (or decades) at xs4all their life suddenly is very different.

I wish them well and hopefully be able to meet up every now and then.

Na migratie van XS4ALL naar KPN zijn al je telefoon-doorschakelingen weg: hoe dit te herstellen (spoiler: de on-line aanwijzingen kloppen niet)

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/02

In het kader van “kunnen dingen bij ons nooit eens normaal gaan?” het korte antwoord: nee.

Voorbeeld:

Voor de migratie van XS4ALL naar KPN hadden diverse telefoondoorschakelingen in gebruik (met name vertraagd doorschakelen: individuele nummers in ons huishouden gingen vertraagd door naar de bijbehorende mobiele nummers).

Na de migratie waren die allemaal weg. Het duurde even voor we daarachter waren omdat sinds de corona-periode vrijwel altijd iemand thuis is.

Kort en goed: we kamen er dus achter toen er niemand thuis was en we een opmerking kregen onbereikbaar te zijn (door iemand die ons mobiele nummer niet had).

Herstellen was ingewikkelder dan bedacht, want als je deze voor de hand liggende stappen van XS4ALL en KPN volgt kom je met een kluitje in het riet terecht:

iOS/Android Privacy: InAppBrowser.com – see what JavaScript commands get injected through an in-app browser · Felix Krause

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/08/31

Especially on Archive, but also on Android and other mobile operating systems, mobile apps can have their in-app browsers to circumvent the OS provided wrapper around the system browser.

On iOS, the Safari is the only system browser engine whereas on Android you can have other engines too, so less Android applications have in-app browsers.

Most of those in-app browsers are in social media applications that go to great length to keep their users inside a walled garden.

The site [Wayback/Archive] inAppBrowser.com helps checking how severely information is leaked through the in-app browser as those potentially have a lot of control. TikTok is worst capturing all input including credentials like user names and passwords.

Since about 5 months now, there has been a new Chocolatey package maintainer for OpenVPN

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/08/26

Last winter, I discovered that the OpenVPN version on Chocolatey was really old: it had not been updated since 2019.

Most  Chocolatey maintainers are volunteers and sometimes the burden can become too large. Back then the maintainer was [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | wget, but luckily [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | dgalbraith has stepped in and in March 2022 bumped the version from [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | OpenVPN 2.4.7 to [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | OpenVPN – Open Source SSL VPN Solution 2.5.4 and kept maintaining (currently there is [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | OpenVPN – Open Source SSL VPN Solution 2.5.7).
