Met alle onderwijs op afstand op het moment, heb ik geprobeerd mijn bijdrage te leveren in het verbeteren van het contact tussen leerkrachten en leerlingen. Alhoewel Microsoft Teams voor veel scholen een voor de hand liggende keuze lijkt, vond het personeel het installeren en gebruiken van teams niet laagdrempelig genoeg. Het team wil graag direct […]
People who have known me for longer then ten years may remember me wearing a pirate bay t-shirt. Pirating movies has since become mostly irrelevant for me when it comes to getting access to content. Al lot of paid services have popped up providing different types of ways to access vast commercial libraries. So nowadays […]
So now the I registered for the Objective by the sea conference in June, there are a couple of preparations to take care off. Objective by the sea is a MacOS security conference by Patrick Wardle. I’ve been a supporter of his work via Patreon for quite some time, but I have never ran any […]

Last weekend I wiped my Macbook Pro 15″ late 2013 and installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it. The install was painless, but there were some tiny bits and pieces missing as to hardware settings and drivers. I was able to fix most issues searching the web, but I thought I summarize it here for future reference […]
Today I tried to connect my laptop running Ubuntu 18.04 to the govroam wifi network (equivalent to the eduroam thing I guess?). The default settings supplied by Ubuntu did not work and I could not find any official documentation specific for Ubuntu. These are the settings that worked for me : Security : WPA & […]
My Mac Pro from before 2010 was happily running MacOS Mavericks I think. There were some minor annoyances, but mostly it was working pretty swell. And a couple of years ago the machine dropped from the supported hardware list of newer MacOS releases like Sierra and High Sierra. So no more official software upgrades then. […]
Door een collega op mijn nieuwe klus ben ik begonnen om Intellij te gebruiken. Het heeft een paar maanden geduurd om alle hoeken en gaten te vinden en er overduidelijk sneller mee te gaan, maar dat punt is bereikt. Op de klus gebruik ik de community edition voor puppet werk, maar ik ben er wel […]
