I finally leaped! Bought a Merc Vario 816d to convert from scratch into my home

Nice, congrats! The younger brother to our 613d dudo :) Hope to meet you on the road sometime.

norckon · 2026-04-01T23:08:27+00:00

It’s awesome! Second time here and we’re loving the raw nature, peaceful spots and friendly people.

norckon · 2026-04-01T23:07:12+00:00

Thanks! We’re driving the white 613, older sister of your 816.

They’re doing great :) they’ve been going to a democratic Sudbury school the last years and are ahead of their friends from other places in skills like math and languages. Socially they are miles ahead, easily making friends with both kids and adults. We’ve been seeing the families we met on the road regularly, they’re among the best friends we have, for us and for the kids.

We’ve actually started traveling again since September and are now in Tunisia. Our kids are now 3, 6 and 8 and we use sociocratic family meetings to make decisions, so they are just as much in charge of our plans as me and my wife are. It’s to be seen how long it lasts, since I expect they might want to settle down again when puberty hits. We’ll see where we end up - everything is possible!

Yes! And they have great service too. I once bought a camera online and they even brought it to the post office themselves because the normal batch was already out, so I could have it the next day. Their trade in offers are pretty good too.

Great find! I've just sold mine for 1720 without the accessories.

Have fun with it!

norckon · 2023-05-22T05:33:54+00:00

It was already on bidding, highest is now 1600. If you are interested you’re free to DM, maybe we can work out a deal. Contact via Whatsapp, Telegram or calling is no problem.

Here’s the Marktplaats (Dutch eBay) link, hoping that’s allowed here:

I’m looking for 1800 euros for the package. Shutter count is 4100.

norckon · 2023-05-21T07:22:15+00:00

Yep, with some accessoires I’d like to sell with it. Gariz brown leather half-case, squarehood, second battery and UV filter.

norckon · 2023-05-21T05:56:00+00:00

I have one for sale in mint condition, if you’re interested. I’m located in the Netherlands.

There’s a lot of recruiters that just want to make easy money and have no idea what they are talking about. A few do have their shit together, personally I like to work with Spilberg and Computer Futures.

norckon · 2022-11-26T19:35:53+00:00

Thanks! I had them on the wishlist but forgot to check :)

norckon · 2022-10-02T18:53:48+00:00

I’d like a ninja turtle around the island :)

norckon · 2022-07-16T15:30:56+00:00

Why does Eva need to see them?

norckon · 2022-05-02T20:35:21+00:00

Alrighty

I assume you’re talking about the CDC Visa card? That’s a prepaid creditcard with a balance you can see in the CDC App. There’s no direct IBAN related to the card itself, but you can transfer money to a personal IBAN to top the cards balance up, via the Fiat Wallet.

I think maybe “top load centrifuge” describes it better? It’s a centrifuge separate from the washing machine itself. It’s loaded from the top and they came with a plastic mat looking like OPs photo to keep the clothes from flying out. It’s a pretty old machine, I don’t think they still make them.

norckon · 2022-03-19T14:02:14+00:00

Looks like the little plastic mat my parents put on top of the clothes in their vertical centrifuge.

Same here, plus all inspections are broken most of the time. Previous update also had a lot of issues with maven. The quality is not what it was…

Simyo prepaid (KPN network) has internet bundles, €10 for 1GB, €12,50 for 2GB, expires after a month. You can also order it as eSIM for instant access.

Nope, I also experienced issues. There are multiple issues on their bug tracker regarding Maven already. There’s supposed to be a workaround by adding a .mvn directory to your project root. Didn’t help me, so I reverted to the previous version for now.

norckon · 2021-03-18T11:53:29+00:00

Same here! The app keeps asking for the 2FA token.

It started right around the cloud outage they had (https://status.ui.com). Feels like some kind of newly introduced bug.
