Ah, thanks to the investigative nature of a friend, I now know that hurricanes Humberto and Imelda had a thing going on dancing together over the Atlantic which resulted in the birth of Amy. Check.

Altijd handig wanneer er geen beschrijvende titels in web-pagina’s zijn, of jaartallen bij planningen.
Daarom deze toevoeging: [Wayback/Archive] de BouwApp gaat over de A44
Onderliggend wegennet bij Lisserwegviaduct A44 gestremd vanaf 14 oktober 2025
Dit duurt tot ongeveer april 2026 volgens [Wayback/Archive] Vervanging eerste A44-viaduct start in oktober 2025

[Wayback/Archive] Fraudehelpdesk ontvangt groot aantal meldingen over fraudetelefoontjes – Security.NL
Ik had zelf al gemerkt dat de hoeveelheid SPAM calls enorm was toegenomen: 2025 first quarter (our winter): a set back in energy, slowly getting back, taking preventions to keep this from happening again
Kennelijk ben ik niet alleen hierin.

Just found out about the liquidation of [Wayback/Archive] ISOSTEEL Deutschland GmbH, Wiesbaden.
Their availability of spare caps were the reason for getting their thermos flasks and caps in the first place. As a bonus, their flashs had a wide opening as well. Much wider than the 25+ year old HEMA thermos flasks I used before (one of which the cap had died, the other one lost its vacuum):
The Isosteel caps are slowly dying, which means I need to find an alternative brand that provides spare parts and has a large flask opening, and kept liquid hot for 24 hours or cold for 48 hours. Just see their prior products at [Wayback/Archive] “ISOSTEEL – Isoliergefäße aus Edelstahl”.
Liquidation:

Some notes (mainly links) on the Oracle Cloud Free Tier as at the time of writing it is the only provider with a “free forever” tier.
In the past for FOSS, there was [Wayback/Archive] Fosshost on Twitter: “@d_feldman Check out fosshost.org for an alternative to Oracle Cloud for ARM/AArch64. We are free, open source and you will never get bill shock. Open source projects must apply only.”, but at the end of 2022 they started to wind down their services as per [Wayback/Archive] Fosshost to Sunset Tenant Services
Fosshost to Sunset Tenant Services
At this time, Fosshost is deeply sorry to announce we are no longer able to continue offering our services.
Because of this, we strongly recommend all Fosshost tenants to backup their data immediately, and migrate elsewhere as soon as possible.
Oh before you begin: if you need a reverse DNS record then be sure to request that as soon as your free tier starts: at that time you have USD 300 credits for running paid services which includes the support to request reverse DNS records.
Anyway, many links on the Oracle OCI Cloud Free Tier (especially the ARM deal is great: lots of RAM as compared to the x86 VMs):

Even een reminder aan mezelf, omwat we aan Remeha Calenta Ace hebben en het niet helemaal duidelijk is of deze bij de vorige bewoners echt goed op het huis is ingeregeld.
Het nadeel van Remeha is dat ze volstrekt chaotisch onduidelijke handleidinge hebben waar het lastig is essentiele instellingen in terug te vinden: er zijn veel te veel instellingen met allemaal onduidelijke nummering waarbij hele reeksen nummers worden overgeslagen.
De Remeha Calenta Ace serie is inmidels zo’n 7 jaar in productie.

Dit Ziggo formulier is vaak veel makkelijker dan mailen/bellen met de afdeling schuldbeheer: [Wayback/Archive] Formulier voor bewindvoerders | Ziggo.
Dat is bij Ziggo veel beter geregeld dan bijvoorbeeld bij KPN.
