Based on [WayBack] command line – How to access a usb flash drive from the terminal? – Ask Ubuntu
Figure out the device:
lsblksudo blkidsudo fdisk -l
Mount the device (assuming it is /dev/sdb1):

When Ctrl-Click in a Windows VMware Fusion VM does right-click, when you thought you turned that off
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/10
A while ago, I was surprised that in a Windows VM running under VMware Fusion, the Ctrl-Click performed a right click, despite me having changed the configuration:
I was wrong, as I had forgotten I assigned the “Windows 8 Profile” tot hat VM (as it was running Windows 8.1), which had the Secondary Button still mapped to the Control+Primary Button:

Unlike OS X, most other operating systems require the use of multibutton mice. Most Mac users know you can ctrl-click to simulate a right click, and you can do that in Fusion as well. But what if you actually want to ctrl-click in the guest – say, to select multiple items in Explorer? In Fusion’s […]

Top Open Source Licenses | Black Duck Software
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/10
About a year and a half ago, I came across the pie chart far below.
Luckily, the WayBack machine keeps historic copies of that page, so I could deduct the below table over time indicating the historic popularity of each license.
- 20171001 – Top Open Source Licenses | Black Duck Software
- 20170824 – Top Open Source Licenses | Black Duck Software
- 20161006 – Top Open Source Licenses | Black Duck Software
- 20160510 – Top Open Source Licenses | Black Duck Software
My deduction so far:
- The top 5 has the same ranking, but different percentages
- The rise of the MIT license popularity comes almost entirely out of the other top 5 entries
- Below the top 5, it’s about percentage points that differ
I wonder how this evolves further over time.
Oh: and I need to improve my graphing skills to show this table in a nice graph better than the one on the right which has rank over time for reach license from 2016 until 2017.
This is the data extracted from the historic WayBack links:

vmware Fusion/Workstation/ – How can you boot from CD? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/10
Basically the boot delay during startup is so short that usually you cannot even choose the boot device.
Solution: edit the .vmx configuration file for the Virtual Machine, then change this value:
bios.bootDelay = "15000"

VMFS metadata files
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/09
For my own ference:
disk space under VMFS-3 is organized according to four resource types. They are : blocks, sub-blocks, pointer blocks, and file descriptors. Resources are grouped into clusters, which form cluster groups. Every resource type is administered by one or a number of system files. Lets have a look at what those abbreviated file names stand for:
- fbb.sf = file block bitmap.sf
- fdc.sf = file descriptor cluster.sf
- pbc.sf = pointer block cluster.sf
- sbc.sf = sub-block cluster.sf
- vh.sf = volume header.sfs
- dd.sf = scsi device description.sf
The VMFS-5 uses one more system file:
- pb2.sf = pointer block 2.sf
