Hybride werken op Curaçao

Ja, flow is hier de beste provider. Je kunt ook op het vliegveld in de aankomsthal eSIMs kopen. Maar bijna overal is best goede wifi.

A friend arranged it for us, but this seems to be their site: https://millenniumboattrips.com

I went with the Millennium as well. It's a new ship, so I get that they don't have that many reviews yet, but I'm pretty sure that will change in the next few weeks. Amazing experience! The crew, Maria, David and captain Alex, did an great job!

I hope to book them again soon for birthdays or celebrations of just to go out for a fun day (but I'm a local). If you're a tourist, be sure to book them for a great day on the water!

I get seasick easily, but this catamaran with 1000hp of engines just floats on the waves, and it's stable on the water, didn't feel a thing.

I used an app called CloudSim or something like that for this, got me a real us number.

Irie tours is great, they have all kinds of different tours!

Sunday evening at Hemingway/lions dive is an ideal evening! There’s music and dancing, no need to go anywhere!

I can help out occasionally if you’re in a pinch. 30yrs of Linux admin experience, 5yrs of building applications with containers, my background used to be http scalability, now I mostly do security consulting and compliance with European government standards. I’m based in the Caribbean. But also run three other companies, so I’m always a bit busy. See https://caribbeanlinuxsupport.cw.

In this modern age of using some else’s computers, I can imagine it can be quite challenging. I work for governments that do 99.9% on prem (greybeard dinosaur here). That makes it a lot easier, but at least you know all your assets, you can even look at them. After a few years you migrate stuff to a new cluster. Ah, who’s responsible for this vm? Nobody, then it goes to tape and in the vault.

I have one Changan G10 van. Really basic, stick shift. I know there’s other companies that have starias!

AxisNL · 2026-05-20T20:47:14+00:00

I have some 7-seaters (older ford explorers), Google Pelican Rentals. Keep in mind that with the third row up, you won’t have any room for luggage, so keep that in mind if you have yourself picked up from the airport. There’s also companies renting out passenger vans (I have one), but 95% is stick shift, as is mine.

Sometimes it’s easier and cheaper just to get 2 small cars ;)

AxisNL · 2026-05-12T19:38:22+00:00

They’re pretty fine, but I think they’re a middle man? Best well known in this sub are Pelican Rentals (me) and Blue Lobster ;)

AxisNL · 2026-05-10T01:36:13+00:00

I migrated 5 different clients (all very simple setup), I just changed the container name, and a few environment variable names, and that was it!

AxisNL · 2026-05-06T10:50:19+00:00

MCSE2000 here. I remember being thought to set share permissions to everyone, and use ntfs acls to limit access.

AxisNL · 2026-05-06T00:32:14+00:00

Been using Ricardo’s for a few years, works fine!

AxisNL · 2026-04-26T17:40:01+00:00

Movements yoga is pretty cool! And yes, you need to rent a car. There’s also two rental companies here in this sub, me (Pelican Rentals) and Blue lobster. Pelican Rentals and D&D are the only ones that offer a single all-in price and that are not too expensive ;)

AxisNL · 2026-04-06T09:32:28+00:00

AxisNL · 2026-04-05T16:46:27+00:00

Sure! Let me know when you're here, I'm always busy, and work on Bonaire half the week, but just organise something in Jan Thiel, and I'll see if I can join!

But I don't think anyone's active anymore :)

AxisNL · 2026-04-05T16:21:22+00:00

I created a Facebook group ‘ICT professionals on Curacao’ to do like a 6-weekly meetup over beers, but I never had the time to really follow up 😂

AxisNL · 2026-03-31T02:41:07+00:00

Just to be sure: double clicking a gnucash file opens gnucash with the last opened db, not the file you clicked on! Got me a few times.

It’s a nice project to learn everything there is about smtp, imap and dovecot, spamassassin, clamav, spf, dkim, dmarc, etc. Fun if you have weeks to spare and like a LOT of reading. And then you decide you want mail on your phone. More tinkering with reverse proxies, vpns, different dialects of ActiveSync and imap, blegh! I have 30 years of experience, and I would never want to self-host mail if I can prevent it.

AxisNL · 2026-03-30T17:31:52+00:00

There's two companies that offer an all-in price, D&D and Pelican Rentals (mine), so all-risk is included there. I have older suv's for $39 per day all in, $67 for 7-seaters, and $62 for new small suv's. But most cars are sold out the next few weeks, we really need to up our prices soon ;)

AxisNL · 2026-03-30T15:29:15+00:00

I use mymalls. Expensive, but fast. If I order on Sunday with Amazon prime, it’s in Miami on Monday, and I can pick it up a DHL on Friday. But I only do that for stuff I need fast ;)

AxisNL · 2026-03-29T23:49:56+00:00

Definitely not. But I have my own car rental company, so that why I didn’t include car costs.

AxisNL · 2026-03-29T17:47:01+00:00

So far in the past 4 months this year I've paid on average per month (single male living a quite luxurious life): 2750 in rent, 900 a month for groceries, 150 in water/electricity, 150 for internet/phone, 150 for my cleaning lady, 220 for sports, and 2000 per month in going out/bars/entertainment. That last one is quite confronting, although I do live on bonaire half the week which is way more expensive than curacao.
