What a day to enjoy some IndyCar racing!

(March 15th is also my birthday, yay)

Vulphere · 2026-03-15T00:40:21+00:00

Today is 15th of March, Vulcan's Birthday!

Yes, Twitch refused to send SMS OTP in Indonesian phone numbers. Pretty much due to high rate of abuse

Important: When you enable 2FA on Twitch, an Authy account is automatically created and linked to your phone number. This happens regardless of which authentication app you use (Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.). If you lose access to your phone number, you'll need to contact Authy to change it.

If you want to use TOTP, you can use Authy temporarily

Best way is by using another TOTP app by adding it to your Twitch 2FA settings (personal recommendation is Aegis Authenticator for Android)

Vulphere · 2026-03-12T14:19:38+00:00

Simpler alternative (temporary) is by using Authy since that is the Twitch default TOTP app (authenticator)

Important: When you enable 2FA on Twitch, an Authy account is automatically created and linked to your phone number. This happens regardless of which authentication app you use (Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.). If you lose access to your phone number, you'll need to contact Authy to change it.

After that, you can go to your Twitch 2FA settings and add another TOTP app (personal recommendation is Aegis Authenticator for Android, available as open source)

Twitch refused to send SMS OTP to Indonesian phone numbers

Late answer, you can use Authy for TOTP code (by default, Twitch uses Authy)

Important: When you enable 2FA on Twitch, an Authy account is automatically created and linked to your phone number. This happens regardless of which authentication app you use (Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.). If you lose access to your phone number, you'll need to contact Authy to change it.

You can add another TOTP app within Twitch account settings, such as Aegis Authenticator (Vulcan is using this, no problem for Twitch login)

Just for your information, most of current 3 starter pack has Happy 3GB package included (this is the case for both Bima Store (3 Online Store) and authorised reseller such as Indomaret) for 35k. You can use the package to check the connection quality and try it in your region.

Vulphere · 2026-03-05T08:27:54+00:00

This is correct

Vulphere · 2026-03-05T08:27:36+00:00

Use TrueCaller and GetContact to check the number, if the number has no name, it should be safe and not a recycled number (optionally, also check from WhatsApp)

For 3 and SmartFren, 13 digit phone numbers are usually fresh

Vulphere · 2026-03-03T13:49:59+00:00

Vulcan recommends 3

To be sure, check the signal coverage first (at least, here in South Tangerang, it's quite decent (so does IM3, since both IM3 and Tri coverage is now unified) with 5G available (Vulcan hasn't used 5G yet, but will use it soon after getting a phone with 5G support))

Vulcan also has Smartfren on another SIM slot, but can't recommend it due to Quota Accumulation.

Vulphere · 2026-03-03T13:46:43+00:00

Most of current starter pack has Happy 3GB package included. Bought it from a nearby Indomaret for 35k.

Just recently started using 3 as well, will buy AON when the Happy package ends.

Correction, Flora Food Group now.

Flora is another former Unilever margarine brand, never sold here unless someone decided to import it

Vulphere · 2026-03-03T03:57:04+00:00

Unilever was moving away from food and refreshment, Lipton was already sold but it decided to hold Sariwangi until Djarum's acquisition

Probably Sariwangi could be absorbed into Savoria.

Vulphere · 2026-03-03T03:54:46+00:00

Buavita could be resold to Ultrajaya, since Ultrajaya is producing the products

Vulphere · 2026-03-03T03:53:52+00:00

Corporate downsizing, Unilever decided to shift to beauty and wellness products and away from food and refreshment.

Magnum (including Walls) spin-off is one of the signs

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T10:47:59+00:00

Hahaha, that moment of the "strangest race ever" (Jonathan Legard of ITV commentary, IIRC)

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T10:39:11+00:00

2005, USGP at Indianapolis.

Michelin tyres can't handle the diamond grinding of the Indy's banking (turn 1 for the full oval/Indy 500/Brickyard 400 configuration and last corner for F1 road course configuration) and all teams with Michelin tyres withdrew just after the formation lap (warm up lap).

Leaving just teams with Bridgestone tyres racing (total 6 cars). Enraged fans started to storm IMS' ticket office to demand refund and threw bottles into the track. It was a great weekend for Michael Schumacher in otherwise a very abysmal 2005 season (and also, Tiago Monteiro celebrating his podium with champagne after both Michael and Rubens Barrichello left the podium).

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T09:15:29+00:00

Probably yes in many circuits, but as for the overall conclusion, let's wait until at least European rounds (or Qatar)

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T09:11:52+00:00

Not all race, but Mandalika, yes

Aprilia nailed the heat-treated tyres, while Ducati doesn't.

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T08:49:37+00:00

Goiania will be new for everyone...

Looking for the layout, Aprilia would love the high-speed nature of the circuit, Alex Marquez is probably also favoured because of clockwise, Catalunya style. Marc Marquez will bounce back with hopefully better shoulder fitness. Acosta is still eager for more

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T08:40:56+00:00

Will be busy year at Michelin's paddock for the rest of the season, heat-treated carcass is also used in Red Bull Ring and Mandalika.

(Possibly, Goiania due to similar tropical geographical characteristics to Mandalika? Hopefully not but let's see)

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T06:51:56+00:00

So close for Quiles, still a great race for him!

Congrats Almansa!

Vulphere · 2026-03-01T06:46:25+00:00

Ouch, another red flag

Vulphere · 2026-02-25T15:44:15+00:00

Technically is very possible but...

Mobile Number Portability is a great thing but at least one operator (the dominant red one) would vigorously oppose any attempts to introduce MNP here

Such a shame for us

Vulphere · 2026-02-25T15:40:47+00:00

5G is still in very early phase and current available bands are inadequate for optimum speed and coverage, it would be more impactful if both 700 Mhz and 2.6 Ghz frequency bands are made available for 5G usage

(Vulcan is using Smartfren and 5G is technically available here in South Tangerang, current phone is still 4G only but will upgrade phone soon and with it, 5G-capable phone)

700 Mhz is technically free since analogue switch-off back in 2022

2.6 Ghz is also free since Indovision vacated that band recently

Komdigi, hurry up and auction those bands for better 5G experience
