Pengecekan BI Checking atau SLIK Secara Mandiri Melalui iDebku OJK

Sampai saat ini, saya memang belum pernah secara spesifik melakukan pengecekan informasi keuangan pribadi saya yang dapat dilihat spesifik melalui dokumen SLIK (Sistem Layanan Informasi Keuangan).

Selama ini, pengecekan memang dilakukan oleh atau pihak yang memerlukan. Terakhir kali seingat saya saat saya melakukan pengajuan kredit pemilikan rumah. Karena memang dari catatan pribadi memang status kredit (credit scoring) memang ‘harusnya' status lancar.

Supaya tidak bingung, Sistem Layanan Informasi Keuangan (SLIK), Informasi Debitur (iDeb), credit scoring, atau BI Checking ini sebenarnya istilah yang sama. Jadi ini merupakan informasi/dokumen untuk melihat bagaimana performa status laporan informasi keuangan kita, ketika kita memiliki pinjaman atau tanggung jawab pengembalian atas kredit/pinjaman kita.

Pinjaman ini bisa dari mana saja, mulai dari bank (misal KPR, , atau produk pinjaman lain), dan juga dari lembaga lain termasuk e-wallet dengan fitur paylater-nya.

Untuk melakukannya, sekarang seharusnya lebih mudah karena Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) sudah memiliki aplikasi khusus untuk ini. Namanya iDebku.

Kalau dari panduan tata cara, seharusnya ini prosesnya cukup mudah. Kurang lebih proses sebagai berikut:

  1. Masuk ke iDebku di https://idebku.ojk.go.id/
  2. Lakukan proses pendaftaran
  3. Buat permohonan
  4. Lihat hasil permohonan iDeb

Saya sendiri saat ini belum mencobanya, tapi jika ini berfungsi sesuai yang diharapkan, tentu ini bisa sangat bermanfaat.

Sirup Obat yang Tidak Menggunakan Propilen Glikol, Polietilen Glikol, Sorbitol, dan/atau Gliserin/Gliserol

by cottonbro

Jadi lebih berhati-hati saja saat ini, karena selain kabar mengenai maraknya kasus gagal ginjal akut pada anak, kebetulan anak saya juga sedang “mendapat kesempatan” sakit dalam tiga minggu terakhir.

Mulai dari demam, kemudian sedikit batuk, dan terakhir diare. Ketika sudah sembuh, dan masuk sekolah, baru saja masuk sekolah satu hari, sekolah harus diliburkan dulu karena ada anak dari kelas sebelah yang kena .

Dan, setelah masuk lagi, kena demam yang cukup serius. Bedanya, demam kali ini ketika pemberitaan dan penarikan obat sirop sudah gencar dilakukan. Sempat dibawa ke IGD dan mendapatkan perawatan serta obat penurun panas dari dubur. Sekarang tinggal batuk saja, yang agak berdahak.

Karena yang menjadi acuan aman atau tidaknya obat adalah dari BPOM, jadi salah satu yang sering dilihat adalah daftar obat terbaru yang masuk dalam kategori “aman” dan “tidak aman”.

Untuk catatan pribadi saja, daftar ditulis di sini.

Tak Ada Lagi Istilah ODP, PDP, dan OTG

Kementerian melalui Menteri Kesehatan Terawan mengubah penggunaan istilah yang sudah cukup akrab di telinga masyarakat seperti ODP (Orang Dalam Pemantauan), PDP (Pasien Dalam Pengawasan), dan OTG (Orang Tanpa Gejala) dengan beberapa definisi baru. Beberapa hari lalu, pemerintah juga ‘merasa' bahwa istilah ‘new normal' bukanlah sebuah pilihan yang tepat.

Pengubahan ini tertuang dalam Keputusan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor HK.01.07/Menkes/413/2020 tentang Pedoman Pencegahan dan Pengendalian Coronavirus Disease 2019 (). 

Perubahan istilah menjadi:

  1. ODP berubah istilah menjadi kontak erat
  2. PDP menjadi kasus suspek,
  3. OTG menjadi kasus konfirmasi tanpa gejala (asimptomatik)

Perubahan istilah ini kalau secara rasa — menurut saya pribadi — terkesan menjadi ‘tidak semenakutkan sebelumnya'. Entahlah. Istilah ‘kontak erat' mungkin terasa lebih lembut dibandingkan ‘Orang Dalam Pemantauan', begitu juga ‘suspek' yang terasa lebih tidak semenakutkan ‘Pasien Dalam Pengawasan'.

Lion Air Group akan Terbang Lagi untuk Rute Domestik 10 Juni 2020

Group dengan maskapai Lion Air (kode penerbangan JT), Wings Air (kode penerbangan IW), (kode penerbangan ID) akan kembali beroperasi pada 10 Juni 2020. Sebelumnya, mereka mengumumkan penghentian sementara operasional penerbangan domestik dan internasional mulai 5 Juni 2020.

Keputusan Lion Air Group dengan pertimbangan atas evaluasi setiap pelaksanaan operasional penerbangan sebelumnya, bahwa banyak calon penumpang yang tidak dapat melaksanakan perjalanan udara disebabkan kurang memenuhi kelengkapan dokumen-dokumen sebagaimana persyaratan dan ketentuan yang telah ditetapkan selama masa kewaspadaan pandemi Virus Disease 2019 ().

Keterangan pers Lion Air terkait penghentian sementara operasional penerbangan domestik dan internasional mulai 5 Juni 2020.

Pembukaan kembali operasional pada 10 Juni 2020 tersebut didasarkan kepada pertimbangan bahwa “calon penumpang udara sudah semakin memahami serta akan dapat memenuhi persyaratan-persyaratan yang dibutuhkan untuk melakukan perjalanan pesawat udara yang ditetapkan selama masa waspada pandemi Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19)”.

Keputusan ini juga merujuk kepada telah diterbitkannya Surat Edaran No. 7 Tahun 2020 dari Gugus Tugas Percepatan Penanganan Covid-19 tentang Kriteria Persyaratan Perjalanan Orang Dalam Masa Adaptasi Kebiasaan Baru Menuju Masyarakat Produktif dan Aman Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Selain prosedur keselamatan dan pribadi, ada beberapa poin yang perlu diperhatikan dalam penerbangan. Walaupun ini merujuk kepada rilis yang dikeluarkan oleh Lion Air, tapi saya rasa maskapai lain — dan moda masal lain seperti atau kapal kurang lebih akan sama, yaitu:

  1. Jika tes kesehatan yang digunakan Rapid Testmaka masa berlaku adalah 3 hari, atau jika tes kesehatan yang digunakan Reverse Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), maka masa berlaku ialah 7 hari, atau
  2. Apabila kedua metode tes di atas tidak tersedia di daerah asal, maka calon penumpang harus mendapatkan surat keterangan bebas gejala seperti influensa (influenza-like illness) dari dokter rumah sakit/ Puskesmas.Untuk itu calon penumpang Lion Air Group harus mencermati masa berlaku dari dokumen kesehatan yang digunakan.

Walaupun saya belum berencana untuk melaksanakan perjalanan ke luar kota lagi dalam waktu dekat, sepertinya hal tersebut perlu saya catat dulu sebagai rujukan. Yang pasti, memang tidak akan sesederhana dan sefleksibel sebelum era Covid-19.

Dan, tentu saja meluangkan waktu lebih lama untuk tiba di , karena adanya prosedur-prosedur baru yang mengakibatkan proses persiapan pemberangkatan penumpang menjadi lebih lama.

Stay safe, everyone!

OpenVPN Setup on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I could not remember exactly when I setup OpenVPN for the first time. As far as I remember, it was not an easy task. But, I need to have it installed, and I found it easier. Probably, because it's easier to setup on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

I need to have it setup because I have some sites blocked by my provider. Using 's (8.8.8.8) or even ClouFlare's 1.1.1.1. did not help either. Changing the DNS made my internet connection do not work.

So, I need to set up somewhere. I was thinking of having it setup on my own cloud server at Linode. Lucky that there is a straight-forward tutorial on how to setup OpenVPN on 18.04 LTS. I will write it down also here for my personal documentation.

Installation

First, update the system by running apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. For me this is optional.

Thank You, Flickr! Hello Google Photos!

When Flickr was acquired by Smugmug, I was happy. Rather than comparing between the two , they finally under one team, even Flickr and are still two separated services. I believe that Smugmug will work hard and listen to Flickr community to bring Flickr back with better .

But, I decided to leave Flickr for Google Photos. Thank you, Flickr!

Flickr and I

Before era, or mobile-first becomes so popular, Flickr was on the top if it's referring to photos/. Especially when there was Yahoo behind it.

I created my personal Flickr back in 2004 — it's 15 years ago — and I started uploading and sharing photos. When I was having close discussion with Public Communication Center of Ministry of Health and they asked me what kind of platform to choose to share photos, I recommended Flickr. The best part is they're still using it until now!

Thomas Arie presenting flickr #ytownhall
Me sharing about Flickr during Yahoo Community Townhall in May 2011 in Jakarta. I even still have the presentation slides with me. Thank you, Della and Gage!

Dear Flickr,

Probably, it's just me. But, I wish you offer better experiences in — in my opinion — some of the key features.

First, help me to organise my thousand of photos. For me, it's not that easy to put multiple photos into multiple albums. I am not sure about how you handle exactly-the-same photos, or…. duplicate photos. As far as I remember, it will be treated as different photos.

I wish you can also help me to organise my uploaded photos… automagically. There are lots of faces in my photos. Help me to organise them by faces so that I can easily and quickly find photos of my wife, my sister, and also my friends.

I know that sometimes it's not about you. But, I feel that it's slow to send my photos to you. I know, it's also because you can also secure my photos in their original sizes.

I will stop talking now. I don't hate you at all. I need something that works for me better now.

Upgrading to macOS Sierra

macOS Sierra

I love keeping everything updated on my , from the operating system, and also the applications. I just updated to macOS Sierra — the latest operating system by . I upgraded from OS X El Capitan. This post is posted after the .

Preparation

On my Mac, I installed all upgraded applications. Some applications already released the update to make them work with . About my Mac, it's 15″ (Retina, Mid 2012) with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 of memory.

It's highly recommended to backup everything. The simplest way is probably using Time Machine. But, I decided not to backup using Time Machine. I copied the important files to my external drive. It takes time, but having everything backed up is a good scenario.
Before hitting the button, this was my setup:

Solution: WhatsApp crashes on iOS 8 Beta

WhatsApp Logo
Last week, I finally decided to my 5 to 8 Beta 4. When the iOS Beta 1 was available, I took the risk to have it installed. But, it was too disappointing for too many and errors. I'm excited about the upcoming iOS 8 , and I want to try some of the features. There is a discussion thread at MacRumors Forum which lists the application compatibility on iOS 8. Anyway, I have lots of apps installed right now. If you're not sure about having the iOS Beta, you can wait for the official .
I have some applications that are not running well, and one of them was WhatsApp. It keeps crashing. I can accept the fact that some other applications are broken or crashed. But, WhatsApp is an app that I use on daily basis. After searching for solutions, there are two popular ways to fix this issue:

I chose the second option, because it's pretty straight forward. Big thanks to Ritvij Pathak's The Tech Portal. So, what was the problem? Quoting from the site:

The main reason for the crashes is typographic ligature. For those of you who didn't get what it is, don't fret, we didn't either. Turns out it has something to do with two letters being read as one syllable. Ex: letter combos like ff, fi, ffi, fii, will make WhatsApp crash.

What I found was that WhatsApp crashed when I typed some words or there are some words that are already in the . So, I followed the instructions and had everything solved. I want to reproduce the solution based on my experience.
I need to two applications: iExplorer and Navicat for SQLite. Both are paid applications but the trial version are available. After I had it installed, these are steps I did. Anyway, WhatsApp setting should be turned off.
Open iExplorer — your iPhone should be connected, of course — and navigate to Apps > WhatsApp > Documents. Export the ChatStorage.sqlite file by right-clicking on the file and choose the export destination of your choice. You will need this file later. Having the backup for this file is advisable. So, after exporting this file, duplicating this file won't hurt.
iex-1972401972491724
Open Navicat for SQLite and import the ChatStorage.sqlite from the previous step. Navigate to Query and add a new query. Paste the query below, and Run it.

update ZWAMESSAGE
set ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'ff', 'f f')
where ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%ff%';
update ZWAMESSAGE
set ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'fi', 'f i')
where ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%fi%';
update ZWAMESSAGE
set ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'fl', 'f l')
where ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%fl%';
CREATE TRIGGER insert_Ff AFTER INSERT ON ZWAMESSAGE
BEGIN
  UPDATE ZWAMESSAGE
  SET ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'ff', 'f f')
  WHERE ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%ff%';
END;
CREATE TRIGGER insert_Fi AFTER INSERT ON ZWAMESSAGE
BEGIN
  UPDATE ZWAMESSAGE
  SET ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'fi', 'f i')
  WHERE ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%fi%';
END;
CREATE TRIGGER insert_Fl AFTER INSERT ON ZWAMESSAGE
BEGIN
  UPDATE ZWAMESSAGE
  SET ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'fl', 'f l')
  WHERE ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%fl%';
END;

Your ChatStorage.sqlite has been updated. The next thing you need to do is bring the file back to the iPhone using iExplorer. Move it to the same place and if you're asked to replace the file, just replace the file.
My previous errors with WhatsApp was fixed immediately. But, it seems that the errors still occur under different situation. The most common problem is that WhatsApp still keep crashing when I type some words in the window. For now, the temporary solution works, and let's wait the official update from WhatsApp team. I'm sure they will fix it once iOS 8 is available.

Dots
This game is called “Dots“. It's very basic. No complicated how-to's, tutorials, levels, or scores. I need to connect two or more dots (in same color). I can do it horizontally  or vertically. But not diagonally. And, that's it. It's about connecting.
This simple game is developed by Betaworks, available for free.
Anyway, according to the statistics, this simple game has been downloaded more than 1 million times in one week, and 25 million has been played.

LESS Compiler

In my previous post, I mentioned about using Bootstrap for my works. One advantage of using is that we can easily work with its .less files. But, instead of using less.js, I prefer using to generate the real static stylesheet . For now, I'm using LESS.app on my MacBook. The CodeKit looks interesting, anyway.

It's easy. Basically, I just need to include my custom .less file, and @import it from bootstrap.less file, so my bootstrap.less file looks like this:

// Components: Misc
@import "thumbnails.less";
@import "media.less";
@import "labels-badges.less";
//@import "progress-bars.less";
//@import "accordion.less";
//@import "carousel.less";
@import "hero-unit.less";
// My custom CSS
@import "custom.less";

I commented some lines there because I don't need them. It will generate smaller stylesheet file. If you Bootstrap, you should find many .less files under less directory. Some files are needed for certain components. Using LESS.app is so easy because:

  • I can set the output . My file will call a specific stylesheet file. I have it replaced automatically with a new compiled file.
  • After saving my custom.less — I use Coda, anyway — LESS.app will compile it automatically. So, actually I don't need to look at the LESS.app.
  • LESS.app can minify the output.

Nice. What is your favorite compiler?
