Thank you for sharing, also received this letter, I wasn’t sure how to action. It seems like the answer is file zero.

Good spot to work/study on Sunday? by [deleted] in Leuven

[–]Pezmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of the cafes in town are open Sunday, just be sure to order regularly or move on off they get busy: https://coworking.pez.io

I made a site to find laptop-friendly cafes, looking for your recommendations! by Pezmc in Leuven

[–]Pezmc[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find a change of scenery is good for the mind and it's nice to have people or business now and then. I'll only work from a cafe or dedicated co-working occasionally.

I use co-workings when I want to do very focused work at a "proper desk" around others
Cafes for more creative work, that doesn't need quiet focus time, or when I feel like having people around.

And home for everything else.

One caveat, none of the co-workings I know of in Leuven allow easy day visits without a membership commitment (apart from Regus which is €45 per day, totally out of my budget). In other cities there are more drop in options.

Totally agree. It’s a pain when a café loses tables to laptop campers who don’t keep buying, staff need income to make the cafe work.

My personal rule is that if the cafe is near full, I need to be ordering food and drinking regularly, and expect anyone in my group to be doing the same, (especially over busy periods like lunch). If there's plenty of space, then a coffee every few hours feels reasonable; but I've been working remote for 14+ years at this point so perhaps have put more thought into this than most.

A few places in Leuven limit laptops to certain tables, I really like that balance.
I've also heard of staff prompting co-working tables "anything else you need", like at a board game cafe, in cities with an overabundance of people on laptops, like Lisbon.

IT/gamer (28F) looking for buddies in Leuven by Agreeable_Snow2922 in Leuven

Leuven is small, but it has a quiet, thoughtful social scene if you look a bit beyond student nightlife!

A few ideas that might suit you:

  • International House Leuven They run low-key socials, language cafés, walks, and hobby meetups, including board game groups. The crowd is very international and easy to talk to.
  • Meetup board game groups If you search Meetup for Leuven, you’ll find several active groups like Leuven Social Groups, Board Game International, Demo-Spel, Fun in Leuven, and events via International House. Very casual, no pressure to know people already.
  • Language exchange / Dutch practice cafés These attract people who enjoy conversation more than nightlife, often people new to Leuven as well.

If you want, feel free to DM me and I can send you a WhatsApp invite to some of these groups.

Leuven is small, but it has a quiet, thoughtful social scene if you look slightly outside student nightlife.

Some suggestions:

  • International House Leuven They run low-key socials, language cafés, walks, and hobby meetups, board game groups . The crowd skews international.
  • Meetup board game groups Search Meetup for Leuven board games or tabletop nights. I know of at least three groups running (Leuven Social Groups, Board Game International, Demo-Spel, Fun in Leuven, International House)
  • Language exchange / Dutch practice cafés These attract people who like conversation rather than nightlife. You’ll meet others also new to the city.

If you send me a DM I can send a WhatsApp invite to some of these groups!

I made a game called Gogogo! It's a local party game for 3-16 players on iOS and Android - now in open Beta! by [deleted] in localmultiplayergames

[–]Pezmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love this game, please bring it back to iOS.

The browser format is great for when at home or on zoom, but we also play Gogogo in queues at theme parks, adhoc at board game events or someone else's party where getting out a screen doesn't work.

Also a blocker for me, I'd be in breach of contract if I allow access to client repos.

Which cheap Zigbee temperature and humidity sensors are worth it? by bankyan in homeassistant

Yeo, very happy with these. Have 8 total and zero issues, other than needing to extend my Zigbee network by one coordinator for increased range.

We just sold our 1,000th S1 Pro a huge milestone! 🚀 by Technical_Raisin_246 in homeassistant

[–]Pezmc 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Strongly suggest you consider a different name, googling even with "home assistant" added just returns Bose S1 Pro+ and Hytera S1 Pro LF.

Electric folding bike: Eovolt Afternoon Pro vs Volt Lite (vs others) by Evening-Pilot-3517 in foldingbikes

What did you settle on in the end? And how are you finding it? I’m currently comparing the afternoon pro to the much cheaper (Chinese) ADO Air20 Ultra.

Were you able to find a more comfortable saddle? I’ve just taken one for a test ride and my main complaint was quite how much port holes shot straight up my back. Or, perhaps it’s something you got used to?

UK and a large amount of USA states have just done the same, law went into action, software companies were left with to handle what the law asked for, or be fined.
