| schestowitz[TR2] | "Home leave is regulated by the CODEX in Art 60 ServRegs, with the reimbursement of costs done according to Art 77(3) and Art 80(1)(c) ServRegs. In principle, this means that the actual costs for the journey should be reimbursed: | Mar 11 02:10 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Travel expenses, actually incurred for the outward and return journey between the place of employment and his home, for such leave shall be reimbursed to the employee concerned” | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The implementation of these reimbursements are regulated by Circ. 22, Rule 10: | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | For pragmatic reasons, the administration proposes a lump-sum approach in Rule 10(c)(i). | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | However, it is also possible to request reimbursement of the actual expenses incurred, in line with Rule 10(c)(ii). Such a request should be made before the home leave (except in cases of force majeure). | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It makes sense to request reimbursement of the actual expenses one incurs to travel to & from their place of home leave (with their family), if these exceed the lump-sum calculation. | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | When requesting home leave, the administration will provide you with a calculation for your expenses. If the calculation comprises a total sum of travel expenses that is lower than the actual expenses you incurred for the travel, we encourage you to request the reimbursement of your actual costs – and to do so before the actual journey. (Bear in mind you’ll of course need the invoices/tickets/proof of payment to establish your | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | actual travel costs towards the administration)" | Mar 11 02:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | " This newsletter is about the important subject of invalidity, at the example of a recent judgment of the Court of Justice which confirms that the term invalidity in the context of the entitlement of staff to an invalidity allowance can only be interpreted as an incapacity to fulfil the duties within the own institution. If found invalid there, the staff member cannot be referred to the general labour market with the argument that | Mar 11 02:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he/she would be “not invalid” outside the institution. In other words, an invalidity allowance has to be granted independent of the capacity of the staff member to perform work on the general labour market." | Mar 11 02:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>In today’s other blog post, I mentioned how we’ve been getting a huge number of bug reports since the Mega-Release. If you’re not in software engineering, this probably seems like a bad thing. “Oh no, why so many bugs? Didn’t you test your software properly!?” </p> | Mar 11 06:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> Since most people are not involved in software engineering, this perspective is common and understandable. So I’d like to shed a light on the assumptions behind it, and talk about the challenges involved in improving software quality, which is a passion of mine. </p> | Mar 11 06:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Mar 11 06:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>We recommend that if you want to experiment with different distros for your Pi, don't use the official Raspberry Pi Imager program to write your SD card. With the Pi OS, the Imager helpfully tries to put some settings into the Pi OS for you, such as a username, default Wi-Fi network and password, and so on. The problem is that it doesn't notice if the OS it's writing is not the Pi OS, and tries to | Mar 11 06:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | modify these settings anyway, even when we asked it not to. When the target's not the Pi distro, this caused problems. </p> | Mar 11 06:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> Although it is admittedly one of our go-to examples of application bloat, Balena Etcher is simple, free, works well, and it offers versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux – albeit all x86. (Which is why it's a nearly 100 MB download. It's a JavaScript app so it needs a whole web browser as its runtime, meaning that the package bundles what's effectively a copy of Chromium.) </p> | Mar 11 06:29 |
