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.

A ton of keyboard conversions via GitHub – trekawek/mac-plus-ps2: Arduino project that allows to connect a PS2 keyboard to Macintosh Plus

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/12

This is for earliest compact Apple Macintosh systems predating the introduction ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) on Macintosh SE and Apple Macintosh II (and Apple IIgs which technically is not a Macintosh):

Before continuing to an even more impressive keyboard and mouse interfacing project below (basically many kinds of modern keyboard, mice and gamepads to many retro computers) that I found thanks to doing some more research after finding the above one, lets summarise where the above one is still useful for:

Memory Bandwidth Per Core and Per Socket for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/12

I wonder if this has changed over the last few years since this got published early 2023: [Wayback/Archive] Memory Bandwidth Per Core and Per Socket for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC

While we are looking at bandwidth per core, the performance per core has increased by 2.5-3x over the past decade.

Wat notities over het CDN wat de NPO gebruikt voor podcasts

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/11

Nog. niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?

Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.

Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.

Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.

De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
  3. ³

Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:

Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:

When you get an error 103 establishing an SFTP

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/10

A while ago I got an error 103 using both Beyond Compare. That did not whos the connection log or error reason, but WinSCP did: it mentioned unexpected output during the logon.

I got reminded that I had already solved this error before via [Wayback/Archive] SSH login works but SFTP login doesn’t – Server Fault (thanks [Wayback/Archive] qreon and [Wayback/Archive] Paulus):

How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/09

Since a few years, YouTube puts annoyingly overlays on top of like the last 5 to 10 seconds of videos often covering valuable content.

Lately – while preparing for concerts – I have watched a lot of score music videos where the end really is very important to me (see the example below), for instance when rehearsing [Wayback/Archive] La Alhambra – Llano – YouTube until the final end.

The solution came from [Wayback/Archive] How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 Secure Wi-Fi Router On The Go – AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router | IPv6 | USB 2.0 | MU-MIMO | 128MB RAM | Repeater Bridge | Access Point-M Mode: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/09

For my link archive a router I bought a few years back: [Wayback/Archive] GL-SFT1200 Secure Wi-Fi Router On The Go – AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router | IPv6 | USB 2.0 | MU-MIMO | 128MB RAM | Repeater Bridge | Access Point-M Mode: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

  • It is USB-C powered (the power brick delivers 3A at 5V, but in reality it uses far less).
  • Mode and reset buttons are behind the antenna (see picture below).
  • It is specced as AC1200, but that’s just theoretical a number.
  • It came with EU and UK plug.

I needed it because from prior experience, I knew GL.iNEt can support a special Wireless Repeater mode where it still functions as a router (hiding the LAN/WLAN behind NAT)

connection method

Two physical drawbacks likely due to the portable nature:

  1. the plastic RJ45 ports are slightly too wide which means that these keep falling out [Wayback/Archive] Inline® Dust cover, for RJ45 socket, color: green, 100pcs. Pack: Amazon.de: Electronics & Photo
  2. no holes in the base to hang it to a wall

One firmware drawback: it shipped with v3.212 for which I could not find release notes. Luckily the firmware v3.215 I upgraded to had: [Wayback/Archive] Firmware v3.215 is released – Technical Support – GL.iNet.

Links to product and manuals (the paper manual are just two thin sheets, but the on-line documentation is OK; I was surprised WireGuard and Tor were supported!):

I learned there is another way to instantly turn Google Search into using Comic Sans

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/08

Recently learned that [Wayback/Archive] geocities – Google Search works just like [Wayback/Archive] comic sans – Google Search (:

Via [Wayback/Archive] if you search up old web hosting site geocities, everything turns into comic sans (you can also search up “comic sans”) : google
