413 Request Entity Too Large

Since I started pushing kernel and modules through Puppet (as raw files, instead of .deb packages) I randomly got these errors:

[...]

The error seems quite easy to solve by modifying nginx’ config to allow bigger body sizes.

10 Reasons To Quit Your Job Right Now!

In 2009 I asked about 10 Fortune 500 CEOs, “did you just use this crisis as an excuse to fire all the people you were afraid to fire before.” Only one said “of course” instantly. The others had to drink more. But then it was admitted: you’re all dead weight and there’s no loyalty.

Eurostar cheatness

Did a comparison with a browser set to UK and one to Belgium on eurostar.com.

If you live in Belgium, you get free NMBS tickets (from and to Brussels South).

However, when you choose UK, you get an option to either choose Brussels South or "Any Belgian Station":

If we compare the prices for 2nd of June (Friday) we see a £6 difference between Brussels and "Any Belgian City".
