Having cancer is not a fight or a battle, it is about having luck or misfortune

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/10

It has been a while after my last post about me having cancer. No, I am not giving up. But I am having the regular fear of the upcoming checks: did the metastases return, or do I have the luck to outlive some 30% of my peer group.

The last metastases surgery has been slightly more than a year ago. A year from now, that percentage hopefully will be 50% and slowly increase over time until about 90% in some 9 years from now.

At year’s end, I will know for sure.

Below are some links on, mostly Dutch but with English abstract, articles about the mental side of having cancer, or having survived it for now.

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/19

[Wayback/Archive] I can control all your computers – YouTube was the first playful title now known as I tested EVERY single IP KVM – YouTube.

The video is a cool compilation of all the recent (last decade) IP KVM products Jeff has tested so far, which of course started with the Pi-KVM that opened the market from old and expensive IP KVM products.

GitHub – omegat-org/git-svn-sync: Continuously sync a svn to git, in the cloud.

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/18

Interesting: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – omegat-org/git-svn-sync: Continuously sync a svn to git, in the cloud.

It lives in the Amazon cloud, but should be adaptable to other cloud providers.

Query: [Wayback/Archive] service to sync between sourceforge svn and github git at DuckDuckGo

Finally! A Home Upgrade That Makes Sense (E-Ink Display) – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/17

Interesting, especially for my mentally retarded brother, as it uses a large E-ink display.

For him, it would require some batteries as well.

I learned from this that HomeAssistant has goodl Google integration. Great!

Some notes on Delphi Debugger Visualizers

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/16

Ever since Chris Hesik spoke on “RAD Studio 2010 what’s new in the IDE debugger”, wanted to write a blog post about it.

Still haven’t found time to do that in depth, but it’s important to at least jot a few notes, so let’s start with the 20111020 conference session notes.

Some links on Twitter automation through Selenium web-browser automation

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/16

A few years ago, Twitter basically killed API access by making it cost prohibitive for anything but very large organisations.

Here are some links I archived back then that might be able to replace some automation behaviour by using Selenium to drive a web browser.

Lees deze, juist ook als je dit nog nooit aan de hand gehad hebt:

Het sluit enorm goed aan op mijn eigen ervaringen als partner/naaste van, patiënt, overlevende en ondersteuner van andere mensen met (al dan niet terminale) kanker.

Monitor Brandstofprijzen ACM: lichte daling brandstofprijzen gehele keten, diesel weer goedkoper dan benzine | ACM

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/15

[Wayback/Archive] Monitor Brandstofprijzen ACM: lichte daling brandstofprijzen gehele keten, diesel weer goedkoper dan benzine | ACM

Via: [Wayback/Archive] Autoriteit Consument & Markt: “⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehe…” – social.overheid.nl (Mastodon)

⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehele brandstofketen zijn licht gedaald ten opzichte van een maand. Diesel is aan de pomp weer goedkoper dan benzine. Het beeld dat gemiddelde winstmarges niet bij tankstations, maar bovenin in de keten zijn gestegen blijft onveranderd. Dat blijkt uit onze Monitor Brandstofprijzen.
