Solution: Chrome blocks localhost

 At last I've found a solution to the annoying blocking of my localhost. Just add this in the browser:

 chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost

This will open the settings, where you can allow to open socalled "insecure" websites. 

HTTPS://

Sometimes the browser will add a https to the URI. Just remove the s.

Wiseflow - how to attach assignments to a flow

 First make sure that the exam questions are updated. Click on Flowversions (the blue button top right):

• Click on the flow version button
• Update
• Then copy the flow id.

In the flow attach the assignment to the flow:

• Under assignment (= "Opgave") paste the id from the previous section.
• Now save it.

Then the version of the exam questions is assigned to the flow.

Activate the exam

Again this is not staightforward. One might (as I did) think that you should activate the flow where it is edited. But of course that is not the case. Do thus:

• > Administrator
• Click the "activate" button

[Solution] Wiseflow - Cannot Publish

 Just use the old author tool!

The new one is buggy - you cannot publish assignments!

(this is written november 2022, I hope that the problem is solved when you read these lines ...)

[SOLVED] BeoSound2 - cannot connect to Spotify

 After working for a month the connection to Spotify is not working. The only error message is:

"Playing Mozart from Spotify. [10 sek break] Oops something went wrong"

So far I have tried:

1. Restart device
2. Delete and recreate the link to Spotify in Google Home
3. Shut down Spotify on all devices

The error could be related to:

• Spotify's API
• Google Home don't like Spotify any more for some reason
• Google Home needs reinstall
• BeoSound2 may have an error in the update

Errors like this is not ok after only one month. As a user you cannot know where the error is. The Bang and Olufsen app is not helpfull here. 

Strangely enough the YouTube music service works. However, I really don't like this alternative - too many agressive ads on YouTube Music.

Solution

The problem solved itself. Probably after a restart, I guess. However, later I discovered that you can ask google:

"OK Google play Spotify"

And then Spotify will play whatever it's doing on other devices on the BeoSound2!

BOSS GT-100: Plug the guitar directly in return

 After a lot of experiments my favorite is very simple: bypass the preamp totally. The signal chain is:

1. Guitar
2. Boss GT-100 (whatever settings you like there)
3. Return (in my case an Orange 35-RT)

Be somewhat cautious - it will be loud.

[SOLUTION] YouTube: Cannot save channel info edits

Problem: When I try to change the graphic, description or add links the save button is greyed out.

Solution: Open the channel in a private window in Chrome. Restart Firefox. Now you can save the stuff again.

- This error is most annoying, and a great problem for the millions of YouTubers trying to edit their channels. Probably it is a internal storage error of some kind. @YouTube: please fix this

Libre Office Impress on the Path to Suck

Normally I'd prefer Impress over anything from Microsoft, but here and now the program just sucks:

• The slide pane is buggy. Sometimes it works, somtimes not - that's annoying.
• You cannot insert a YouTube or online video, c'mon please!

My user experience is a constant struggle with panes, hidden menus and what not. 

Dia - how to delete something on MacOS

 Press FN + Delete (backspace)

For some reason you can't just press delete. But on a Mac it's more intuitive and artistic. Hence you have to guess this combination of keys. (Sarcasm warning)

Dia and the Flowchart

 The symbols we need are found in the UML symbol collection.

[SOLVED] Dia Diagram Editon Cannot Launch in MacOS

Run Dia from the terminal
Run it via this command in the terminal:

# DISPLAY=:0 /Applications/Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dia

Launch via alias

Since it is often used, try to create an alias for the terminal:

# alias dia='DISPLAY=:0 /Applications/Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dia'

In order to run dia, simply write this in the terminal

# dia

Unfortunately you'll have to run Dia from the terminal every time. Methinks this is a serious bug - since most users want something that will run out of the box. 

Make the alias permanent

In the termina edit the file .zshrc (og alternatively .bash-profile):

# nano .zshrc

Finally add these lines somewhere convenient in the file:

# Dia launch from the terminal

alias dia='DISPLAY=:0 /Applications/Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dia'

MacOs: internal links in PDF documents cannot open in a browser

For some reason I often have problems when trying to open urls from a PDF on MacOS. If you know the cure here, please let me know in the comments below. 

Don't know why, but so far I've tried to:

• Use Acrobat Reader
• Use Safari 
• Use Chrome
• Change security settings
• Open the links from a browser
• Download the PDF, and open from a PDF-reader (sometimes that's the cure, but alas only sometimes)

In some documents the links work. In other documents they don't. Somehow I suspect that the problem may be PDF's created on a Windows system. My most esteemed collegues have Windows computers, where the links seem to work fine.
