Normal sunglasses it sees trough, but if you somehow block it, you can't enable some features anymore (pilot assist). That was different in the early sw versions, where blocking it would simply do nothing, so I had a 3D printed thing t

My experience with my Volvo EX30 has been the complete opposite. Although the false positives have gone down with software updates, it's still wrong so often I turn it off every time it bothers me. Due to some other regulation, this se

Communal bins mean everyone pays for everyone's garbage and/or lack of sorting. Here the rate per kg is different depending on which bin it is, so you're "rewarded" for sorting properly.

My local garbage org has a site where you can download an ical for your location or put in an address and get it for the entire year. So nice, until it's the third week of January and I remember that I need to manually import a new yea

GDPR could have been great, if it was actually enforced in the way it was intended. Cookie banners and dark patterns are not actually allowed, but without enforcement, it's basically meaningless. IMO the biggest issue is that the membe

Almost all EU credit cards are automatic debit at the end of the month, i.e. carrying over balance is not even possible. You will simply be over-drafted on the linked debit account and charged a fee + steep interest if you spend more then y

A bit off topic, but changing your name when getting married is so strange to me. It is not at all common where I live (Belgium), in fact I don't think I personally know a single person who did.

After having some persistent issues with my previous pi-hole setup, running as an add-on on my Home Assistant rPi 5, I moved to AdGuard Home on dedicated hardware. I run it on a rPi Zero 2W (15$), with the Waveshare Ethernet / USB HUB

It takes out so much frustration too. No more nitpicking about style/... in merge requests, the pre-commit hook will fix it and CI will catch it if you don't. The more of this you can automate, the more you get to spend on "r

For me it's only ever an issue if I stop renewing a domain, which triggers issues somewhere next renewal and now nginx doesn't reload. Other than that, I've never had to babysit certbot. It's just a systemd timer job.

CCS is great in Europe. You can plug in your normal 3 phase 400V EVSE and charge at 22kW at home, and twice a year when you need it, you can uncover the little extra flap for 350kW DC charging for on route to your holiday. USB-C suffers fro

The same thing existed for micro USB before but Apple could not agree to that or a new standard, so the EU said "USB-C". The law provides for upgrades and mandates compliance with the spec, including PD. If the spec upgrades, the

Yes and no. No on the distribution network (aka up to the transformer in the street usually, but for sure not on the xxx kV lines) because there the lines are balanced. In your house, you do, because the voltage between 2 phases is 400V, bu

3 Phase is (normally, in Europe) 3x400V+N. Single phase is 230V. AC chargers here (Belgium) are usually 11kW or 22kW capable (at least nominally). This is 16 or 32A. A normal household socket ciruict is 20A here, so this is not very abnorma

Notes from Belgium: - A full time working week is 38h by law. If you do work 40h, you get that time (so 12 days/year) back to compensate. There are talks about a 34h workweek, but that seems unlikely in the near future IMO. We tend to

I would say: stick to straight command sequences with variables, avoid if/for/while/functions etc. Subshells and pipes only for trivial things. Setting something like a 30 char limit will inevitably lead to code-golfing to fi

We've been experimenting with Dagger here, as part of the alternative to writing glscpc actually, but I'm not convinced it's ready to replace Gitlab CI. Dagger has one very big downside IMO: It does not have native integratio

Generalizing this is non-trivial (I tried initially) but I'm sure others can build in the same principles. I think this comes close for Dockerfiles: https://hadolint.github.io/hadolint/ Just have to write a pre-co
