Lokasi dan Harga Pemeriksaan/Tes Swab Antigen di Yogyakarta (Desember 2020)

Dengan adanya kebijakan bagi mereka yang melakukan perjalanan dari/ke beberapa daerah seperti Jakarta, Bali, dan Yogyakarta mengenai persyaratan untuk melakukan swab antigen, otomatis pemeriksaan harus upgrade dari yang biasanya rapid test juga sudah cukup.

Kebijakan ini sebenarnya berlaku secara nasional mulai 18 Desember 2020 sampai dengan 8 Januari 2021. Beberapa minggu lalu, saya melihat belum terlalu banyak tempat yang melayani pemeriksaan swab antigen. Namun, beberapa hari terakhir ini, keadaan sudah cukup berubah. Banyak rumah sakit dan laboratorium di Yogyakarta yang akhirnya menyediakan layanan pemeriksaan swab antigen ini.

Berikut beberapa informasi terkait lokasi dan biaya pemeriksaan swab antigen di Yogyakarta.

Perhatian!

Pengalaman Dua Tahun Menggunakan Ponsel Oppo F7

Tak terasa, bulan ini sudah dua tahun saya menggunakan Oppo F7 (warna merah) sebagai ponsel utama saya. Dulu, ponsel ini saya beli untuk menggantikan iPhone 6 saya yang hilang dalam sebuah perjalanan ke Tangerang. Secara umum, saat ini kondisi ponsel masih sangat baik, dan performa juga saya cukup puas.

Saya sendiri belum ada rencana untuk berganti ponsel. Pertama karena memang Oppo F7 saya ini juga masih berfungsi dengan baik, kedua karena membeli ponsel baru — secara dana — juga bukan menjadi prioritas.

Tapi, kalau ada yang memberikan saya ponsel baru untuk saya pakai, tentu saya tidak akan menolaknya. OPPO Reno4 sepertinya menarik, kalau ada yang memberikan dengan cuma-cuma, tentu saja. Kali saja Oppo Indonesia tiba-tiba terinspirasi untuk mengirimkan satu untuk saya setelah rilis di Agustus 2020 ini. Haha, tak apalah sedikit berkhayal walaupun sangat tidak masuk akal.

Sistem Operasi

Walaupun tidak selalu segera mendapatkan perbaruan/dukungan sistem operasi terbaru (Android) OPPO yang terbaru yaitu ColorOS, tapi Oppo F7 ini tidak mengecewakan juga. Misalnya, saat ini ponsel saya ditenagai dengan ColorOS 6.0.1 dan Android versi 9. Walaupun, perbaruan untuk ColorOS 7 dengan dukungan Android 10 untuk Oppo F7 sudah tersedia. Namun, sepertinya masih menunggu giliran mendapatkan upgrade.

Walaupun ColorOS 7 menawarkan beberapa perbaruan yang menarik, tapi untuk keperluan sehari-hari, sepertinya saya juga tidak ada keluhan dengan ColorOS 6 ini.

Yang pasti, selama dua tahun menggunakan ponsel ini, saya cukup puas saja. Untuk menunjang kegiatan bekerja, it works great.

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 internet provider. Using Google’s DNS (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 OpenVPN 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 Ubuntu 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.

Menggunakan dan Meng-Upgrade Akun Ovo Menjadi Ovo Premier

Sekitar satu bulan terakhir ini, saya cukup sering menggunakan OVO sebagai salah satu metode pembayaran. Dan, lebih digunakan lagi karena saya lebih sering menggunakan Grab daripada Go-Jek terutama untuk layanan transportasi.

Namun, baru minggu lalu saya melakukan upgrade akun OVO saya dari OVO Club menjadi Ovo Premier. Saya melakukannya di outlet OVO yang berada di salah satu pusat perbelanjaan di Jogjakarta. Prosesnya sendiri cukup mudah yaitu menyiapkan kartu identitas saja. Yang mungkin agak sedikit menjadi pertanyaan, saat itu agen yang melayani saya “meminjam” ponsel saya untuk masuk dalam akun agen tersebut melalui peramban. Saya sendiri tidak terlalu keberatan sebenarnya, karena memang cuma mengakses peramban saja.

Salah satu alasan saya upgrade sebenarnya untuk mendapatkan fitur transfer antara akun OVO, dan kebetulan istri saya juga punya akun OVO. Dibandingkan dengan akun Ovo Club yang memiliki batas dana/saldo dalam OVO Cash sebesar Rp2.000.000, akun Ovo Premier dapat menyimpan dana/saldo dalam OVO Cash sampai sebesar Rp10.000.000. Ya, walaupun seingat saya saldo terbesar yang pernah ada dalam OVO Cash saya sekitar Rp500.000. Saldo OVO Cash saya paling sering juga saya top-up dari kartu debit.

Mengenai keuntungan dari cashback, saya sendiri jarang menggunakannya. Paling sering, selain untuk pembayaran Grab, saya gunakan untuk pembayaran ketika berbelanja di Hypermart. Sayangnya, dua kali pembelanjaan terakhir di Hypermart gagal menggunakan OVO karena adanya kesalahan teknis. Rata-rata sih seingat saya karena faktor sinyal saja.

Oh ya, saat saya selesai melakukan proses upgrade di outlet, ternyata status akun saya tidak secara otomatis berubah. Informasi yang saya dapatkan, saya harus menunggu sekitar dua jam. Setelah sekitar dua jam saya coba keluar dari aplikasi dan masuk lagi, ternyata akun saya masih belum berubah status. Baru keesokan harinya, saya mendapati kalau akun saya sudah berubah. Fitur yang saya coba kali pertama adalah transfer dana ke istri saya.

Dan, berhasil.

How-To: Calling Siri on Mac Using Custom Keyboard Shortcut or Dictation

What Siri can do

I tried using Siri on Mac after my upgrade to macOS Sierra, and it works as expected, even I’m still using some basic commands. It’s just like they way I talk to Siri on my iPhone and iPad. Asking Siri is simple, just hit the Siri button on the menu bar, and send your command.

But, can we call Siri from a keyboard shortcut or even dictation? Yes, we can.

Upgrading to macOS Sierra

macOS Sierra

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

Preparation

On my Mac, I installed all upgraded applications. Some applications already released the update to make them work with macOS Sierra. About my Mac, it’s 15″ MacBook Pro (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 download button, this was my setup:

Moving to Google Apps for Work

Google Apps for Work

It’s been two for around two months since my small office moved the email service to Google Apps for Work. So far, it’s been a great experience and I think it was the right decision to make.

Why Moving?

Before moving to Google Apps for Work, we manage the email servers on our own. Meaning, we needed to do the setup, maintenance, including backup. There are less than twenty email accounts to manage under two main domains. The email was hosted on a cloud-based server — we used DigitalOcean. Everything was running almost without any issues.

We depend on emails on day-to-day operation. At the same time, we need to have (almost) zero maintenance and increase our productivity. Our small team needs to share lots of things like documents, spreadsheets, and agendas. The thing is that we need to use our personal Google account to share documents. The other things is on the storage. I have more than 6 GB of email (for work). So, moving to Google Apps for Work is an anticipation. Here are some main reasons on the migration:

  1. Zero maintenance. By outsourcing the email service to Google, we at least only need to keep the domain active.
  2. Integration with other Google services like Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, and more. The integration also includes the seamless collaboratoin between coworkers.
  3. Flexible storage. By default, I have 30 GB of storage for my Gmail, Google Drive, and photos. If later I need to upgrade, the price is pretty reasonable. 100 GB for IDR 27,000 (per account) is a good deal.
  4. Simple setup and management. Setting up each service provided by Google Apps for Work is very easy.

Migration Process

The migration process was pretty easy. Since there were only around 12 email accounts, so moving them individually did not take too much time. My coworkers moved all the email account by themselves. The only challenge is not to have the downtime. There is a simple guide to work on this area. During the registration process, I only need to use a primary domain — and setup the secondary domain as domain alias later on.

For the cost efficiency, I worked on the settings on email routing. For example, if there is an email address that was only accessed by specific people in the organisation, I created some routing rules. By this, I can minimise the number of accounts.

After all emails (including attachments) had been migrated to Google Apps, we kept the “old” servers online for few days just to make sure that no data left behind. I was not sure how long the whole processes was completed, but it was around one week.

Google Offers Free 2GB Extra for Google Drive

Screen Shot 2015-02-10 at 11.43.52 PM

Google offers 2GB of storage for Google Drive for those who completes Google’s security checkup process. This offer ends on February 17, 2015. It’s also to celebrate Safer Internet Day. Right now, I have 15 GB of storage for my Google Drive and use around 5 GB of it). There are still plenty of room for my storage, but 2 GB of free upgrade is too good to be skipped.

The security checkup is a simple and straight forward. It’s to make sure that your Google account is safe by doing some checking on these areas:

  • Recovery information. Make sure you to have an active phone number and alternative email for account recovery.
  • Recent activities. Review the recent login activities using Google account.
  • Account permission. Check the services, or apps you give permission to use or connect to Google account.
  • App password. You can use specific password for logins. So, using Google, you don’t always supply your primary password. If you’re not sure or find the applications you don’t recognize, remove them.
  • 2-step verification. I use this security method. Just make sure to have backup phone number there, including the backup codes.

Even this offer does not apply to Google Apps for Work and Google Apps for Education, but it’s recommended that Google account owners should review the security checkup. After completing the security review checkup, the additional storage will be automatically added at the end of February 2015.

Solution: WhatsApp crashes on iOS 8 Beta

WhatsApp Logo
Last week, I finally decided to upgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS 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 bugs and errors. I’m excited about the upcoming iOS 8 features, 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 release.
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 database file. So, I followed the instructions and had everything solved. I want to reproduce the solution based on my experience.
I need to download 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 iCloud 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.

WordPress 3.7 with Background Updates

WordPress is actively being developed by great developers. I always tried to keep my WordPress installation updated by running update process — which is very easy. But, right now, I want to write down about the latest release. Not that every update provides an improvement, new features, or bug fixes, but this version 3.7 (codename: Basie) has few good things offered.
The first useful feature is the background updates. It means that you do not need to worry about having an outdated installation when a new release is available. So, if your self-hosted WordPress-powered blog is not yet upgraded to 3.7, it’s a perfect time.
WordPress 3.7 Updates
Having an automatic upgrade is good, it’s a worry-free situation. Of course, there might be some bugs or features that you will not be familiar with. But for me, having everything updated is a good thing. If you’re using some plugins, they might not compatible with the latest updates. Not always, but it might happen. Since I don’t have critical plugins installed, having some broken plugins should not be an issue. I just simply disabled them.

How to turn off automatic updates?

You can, but you have to maintain your updates. Or, if you don’t care about this updates (or worse, you don’t care about your blog), you can just ignore it. The easiest solution to disable the core updates is by modifying your wp-config.php file. It’s located at the main root directory. Add these following lines:

# Disables all core updates:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
# Enables all core updates, including minor and major:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );
# Enables core updates for minor releases (default):
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', 'minor' );

If you want to for some details, go to Make WordPress Core website.
Some others features introduced in this updates includes the password strength checker. Do you always have a not-easy-to-guess password? The other one is about a better search. Since I’m maintaining some WordPress-powered sites, I think I will update them all right now.

Flickr — Yahoo-owned photo-sharing service — offers 3 months free account for its users. Currently, Flickr has two types of accounts: free and Pro ($24.95/year).

Now, it had been extended until June 16th, 2014.

WordPress 3.3: It looks great!

WordPress team just announced that the new version of WordPress is available. It’s WordPress 3.3 “Sonny”. Matt posted some notes about this release. I have WordPress for multi-site installation, and since the previous upgrade went smoothly — except some minor issues — I had no reasons not to upgrade. It was easy, just took few seconds.
I like the way WordPress greets me with useful information. You will get information about new features. You know what your WordPress installation can do. Nice.

I need some more steps to upgrade since my blog is a network-blog. It took only few extra clicks. When I go to post creation page, I got a tiny  tooltip telling an information about what I can get from this installation. The media uploader is improved now. It’s drag-and-drop now. If you have problem, you can still use the basic uploader. And, it also supports additional files (.rar and .7z).

This release is also great for those who wants to start blogging using WordPress because “Help” provides more details about the current page — yes, it’s depending on the context.

If you want to read all details about this WordPress 3.3, go to WordPress Codex. For me, these are some to highlight:

  • Drag-and-Drop Media Uploader
  • Post-update About screen — After upgrading, you know what the new features are.
  • When inserting a Gallery to be ordered by Date/Time use the post_date field for ordering rather than ID

Solved: Nokia N9 can't connect to Twitter

After I had my Nokia N9 early this month, I setup my Twitter account first — after some basic phone settings, of course. Everything worked. The application is probably not the best, but it works.
Is it problem-free app? I thought so, until I got a problem: I can’t connect to Twitter using this app. I was not sure when the problem occurred for the first time. I did played with my phone (installing apps, downloading musics, adjusting settings, and including working from the command line). When an update was available, I also upgraded.
Added later: I was not sure what caused this problem. When I signed-in for the first time, everything worked without any issues. I deleted my Twitter account from the app, and tried to add it again. I forgot when I did this for sure, before or after installing the firmware update. It  was optional, but I decided to upgrade.
2011-11-13 01-49-48At first, I was not sure about the problem. Is it my phone, or the internet connection I was using. I switched to some different connections, but it didn’t solve my problem. When I tapped the “Sign In” button, it said: “Can’t connect to Twitter”.
So, I searched for a solution. And, I got one. It’s probably something too technical, but the instruction is easy to understand. According to the forum thread, here are some steps to fix the problem — I’m using Software Version: PR1.1 (20.2011.40-2_PR_005):

  • Activate “Developer mode” by going to: Settings > Security > Developer mode. It’s OFF by default. Turn it ON.
  • After having it activated, you will find a “Terminal” app button under application menu.
  • Open it and you need to execute these commands (one command per line):
    • gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
    • gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
    • gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso

You may close your Terminal.
Those commands will wipe your active connection settings (bluetooth and internet data). But, it’s not a problem as I can add/manage connection settings easily. Problem fixed. Great.
