Studenten van de Universiteit van Eindhoven hebben een stopcontact ontwikkeld dat bestuurd kan worden met een app en op basis van beweging en tijdschema’s apparaten aan- en uit kan zetten. De Aucasi Socket verschijnt aanstaande zondag op Kickstarter.

SysInternals sdelete: zero wipe free space is called -z instead of -c
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/20
In the 2009 past, sdelete used the -c parameter to zero wipe clean a hard drive and -z would clean it with a random pattern.
That has changed. Somewhere along the lines, -c and -z has swapped meaning which I didn’t notice.
This resulted in many of my virtual machines image backups were a lot larger than they needed to be.
The reason is that now:
-cdoes a clean free space with a random DoD conformant pattern (which does not compress well)-zwrites zeros in the free space
Incidently, -c is a lot slower than -z as well.
TL;DR: use this command
sdelete -z C:
Where C: is the drive to zero clean the free space.

Batch files to show the User/System environment variables stored in registry – via: Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/20
I wrote two tiny batch files that would dump the environment variables from the registry.
Various reasons:
- Environment variables can be stored in two contexts: System and User (SET will show them all at once and for instance combine PATH up to 1920 characters).
- Environment variables can be set to auto-expand or not, which you cannot see from a SET command (REG_EXPAND_SZ versus REG_SZ).
show-user-environment-variables.bat:
reg query "HKCU\Environment"
show-system-environment-variables.bat:
reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment"
Filtered results:
