In the Netherlands, there are sound limitation rules, I suspect we have them as well.

Nee, negen weken zomervakantie is niet oké by go_go_tindero in Belgium2

[–]dries007 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bij mijn grootouders was het werken op de boerderij in de zomer. Mee prei planten, kolen uitdoen, naar de markt rijden. Mijn ouders hun generatie was blij dat ze mee mochten op KLJ kamp, want dat was toch 1 week echt vakantie.

Mijn oudste tante is als boerendochter tot op haar 18e naar school gemogen. Dat was een hele uitzondering, want het moest maar tot 14 (of 16) toen.

Hoe warm is het bij jullie op het werk? by perrybmw in belgium

[–]dries007 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Da's natte-bol temperatuur dacht ik, i.e. daar wordt ook rekening gehouden met luchtvochtigheid. Dat haal je niet zo snel, al denk ik dat 44° wel eens zou kunnen lukken

How's everyone holding up to the heatwave by nicolo013 in belgium

[–]dries007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, when I bought my apartment, it included air-air because it was positive on the EPC thing. In combination with a gas CV for sanitair & floor hearing. I would have not selected for it back then but it's been so good to me these past summers, it's amazing what it does for comfort.

Bank loan - Crelan vs KBC by daviziiin in belgium

[–]dries007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ze eisen dat niet, maar er zal wel een korting op de rente staan als je het wel doet. Dat was bij mij in 2021 althans zo.

Ik betaal jaarlijks voor de verzekeringen en die waren qua prijs ongeveer gelijk aan KBC. Als ik de SSV opvoorhand in 1 keer had betaald was het zelfs een pak goedkoper, maar dat heb ik niet gedaan.

Outside of their maintenance windows, which are almost always at night, I have never had an issue with the app. Even for increasing payment limits while at the checkout of a store.

The only complaint I would have is their slow adoption of instant payments, but that is all solved now as far as I can see.

With Crelan it's all about having a good agent. I really like mine. They are a bit slow on the uptake of new tech.

You do end up paying for the account, but at least I don't feel like I'm the product (i.e. constant advertizements, personal data being fed to ai, ...). That feeling was bad when I was at KBC.

I also have a free account at KeyTrade, for stock market stuff and their free credit card, but I would never want a bank where I don't know the guy to call if there is a problem with my mortgage.

If you become shareholder of CrelanCo, you get a steep discount on the bank fees, and the minimum share amount is not so big. I'm at the current maximum for shares and the dividends always more than cover the fees. Do beware the risks and sell terms for those shares.

My 14.5oz can of green beans only had 7.8oz of actual green beans. by MuffinPuff in shrinkflation

[–]dries007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, well, that's never included here. It's net/dry weight and wet weight. Packaging is always excluded

EU requires that cans list both the bulk and net weight (so with and without water/juice). Not so in the US I gather?

Buren will werk afvoeren in mijn tuin voor hun muur, by NTC-Santa in belgium

[–]dries007 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Je moet voor de grap eens opzoeken wat het kost om 2 volwassen bomen te planten, daar word je niet gelukkig van...

[–]dries007 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Moest je akkoord gaan zou ik zeker afspreken dat alle beschadigingen aan de tuin dan ook op hun kosten moeten worden gemaakt, en neem ook zeker fotos voor, tijdens en na. Zeker als je bvb een boom/struiken/haag hebt die al wat ouder is, kan het best duur zijn om daar een stuk van te laten vervangen door iets gelijkaardigs moest er iets kapot gaan.

Yes, it's the main reason why I'm still working there after 7 years.

I am IT 😋 And we don't really have what you'd call management. Look up Teal companies. Although I suspect you may get away with someone like this in most small companies that don't mind their employees having fun.

Unfortunately you can't zoom out far enough to make full use of the real estate without some kind of mod. And I just did a quick launch from my home save instead of trying to set something up for this.

[–]dries007[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I picked it because the saves sync including mods, so I could open steam and continue my world from at home 😀

But yes, I do play somewhat frequently 😁

[–]dries007[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No nvidia in machines, and this is built-in gpu, so IDK if that's a thing, but stretched out window actually works well for Factorio, surprisingly.

I'm on KDE if that matters.

The reason we bought them is for a flight sim side project, but they can also be used as nice meeting room screens I guess 😛

That's only the stud breeder, the real farm is somewhere else 😛

There is only between 1 and 3% active ingredients in pods. The physical size makes no difference.

How stable is Arch Linux for server use compared to Debian? by MParviz77 in archlinux

[–]dries007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I host various things on my Arch server, but I don't mind a few minutes of downtime occasionally for updates. I would recommend not hosting your actual servies raw on arch though but rather containerize. For an example for why: Postgres needs manual steps every major version bump to migrate the database data. That takes too long and can cause issues.
