Since a couple of weeks I have 3 Pekin Bantam hens in my garden. Although it is not a big deal opening and closing the chicken coop door daily, it still is a fun little project to automate this. For example the coop automatically opens at sunrise and closes at […]
For some reason Ubiquiti / UniFi doesn’t really love IPv6 after all those years. It took quite some time before the UniFi Controller itself supported IPv6. Beta IPv6 implementation started almost a year ago with the release of UniFi 5.7.7. But this doesn’t include the devices. Or at least not […]
A free tip for people with a (to new?) Intel I219V (Or Intel I219-V for search results 🙂 Recently I begun with the upgrade of my VMWare server, running on an Intel i3-6100 6th gen. My current motherboard’s chipset was only able to handle 6th and 7th gen and I […]
The problem… While traveling around and visiting some nice remote campgrounds it sometimes occurs that there is only WiFI at the central building, or it is limited to 1 device only. And if you don’t have much mobile data… Problem! In rare occasions it also happens that cellphone reception is […]

No, my Sophos is still not working with XS4ALL’s IPv6 implementation. I doubt that it will ever work. So for the time being I have powered up my [OpenWRT](http://rutten.me/projecten/openwrt-en-xs4all-kpn) router again, which now handles the internet connection. I have connected the WAN port of the Sophos SG125W to a LAN […]
I have received a new toy to play with, a Sophos SG125W firewall. And despite being a high-end and expensive networking device, I can’t get my internet connection (XS4ALL) working with IPv6. XS4ALL is using a VLAN, VLAN 6, for internet access. And they are using PPPoE. Which was also a […]
About 2.5 years ago I bought myself a new toy, the YouLess energy monitor. As the name suggests, it is an energy monitor. The YouLess monitors the total power consumption of my complete house, but it doesn’t monitor it per device. The device is not cheap, it’s rather quite expensive. […]
