For my link archive: networking – Whitelist Windows Update Servers – Super User
Because there are brain dead routers that do not allow for wildcards, or whitelisting only a certain protocol for a URL, call windowsupdate.microsoft.com a URL, but then also accept http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

Everyone falls for social engineering. A while ago I got too and my home page got changed into [WayBack] Try locking your PC next time after being lured away from my machine without locking it.

PS: there are many YouTube versions (as long as 24 hours) of this as well, see [Wayback/Archive] Gandalf Sax | Know Your Meme (via [Wayback/Archive] On this day 11 years ago, the first known video of Gandalf smiling and nodding along with the Epic Sax Guy music on loop was posted to YouTube. : KnowYourMeme).

For my link list, especially because how it categorises the various kinds of messages: [WayBack] Getting Started with Azure Event Grid Scenarios | Serverless360 Blog:
- messaging, which conveys an intent
- eventing, which conveys a fact
- series events, which represent a stream of events belonging together (like telemetry, logging, or streaming data)
- discrete events, which are independent, and report some type of state change
If you use Azure, these solutions then apply to the categories:
- messaging: Azure Event Bus
- series events: Azure Event Hub
- discrete events: Azure Event Grid

For running Visual Studio Code from the terminal, you need to do a few extra steps as from Running Visual Studio Code on macOS: Get Visual Studio Code up and running on Mac (macOS):
Launching from the Command Line
You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing ‘code’ after adding it to the path:
- Launch VS Code.
- Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and type ‘shell command’ to find the Shell Command: Install ‘code’ command in PATH command.
- Restart the terminal for the new
$PATHvalue to take effect. You’ll be able to type ‘code .’ in any folder to start editing files in that folder.Note: If you still have the old
codealias in your.bash_profile(or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install ‘code’ command in PATH command.To manually add VS Code to your path:
cat << EOF >> ~/.bash_profile # Add Visual Studio Code (code) export PATH="\$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin" EOF
This is what the code command is and does:
$ which code
/usr/local/bin/code
$ ls -alh `which code`
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jeroenp admin 68B Apr 16 13:24 /usr/local/bin/code -> /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code
$ cat `which code`
#!/usr/bin/env bash

function realpath() { /usr/bin/python -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0"; }
CONTENTS="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")")")")"
ELECTRON="$CONTENTS/MacOS/Electron"
CLI="$CONTENTS/Resources/app/out/cli.js"

exit $?

Finding the github commit search page was not obvious to me as the main page only allows searching for repositories, and commit pages insides repositories do not have a search box:
Luckily there are two search pages that can search issues:
You can get to both by stumbling on [WayBack] About searching on GitHub – User Documentation, then clicking “Search using a visual interface”
The first search page has built-in help which I have included below, though not explaining how to search for commits which are in [WayBack] Searching commits – User Documentation, and certainly does not tell you need to add type=commitsto the search box.

I love the “bigclive” YouToube channel: it is full of neat ideas, and wise tips on disassembled electrical gadgets. Most of his videos involve soldering or/and making schematics of the things he tears apart or builds.
This one is on Using LEDS as mains indicator lights on 120V and 230V (live demos):
Modern LEDs are bright enough at low current to use as directly mains powered indicators with minimal circuitry. The slight downside is that with a simple resistor circuit the vast majority of the power gets wasted as heat. But the current is so low anyway that it doesn’t really matter. Here are some simple ways to drive LEDs from 110V to 240V with minimal circuitry. I tend to recommend running resistors at around half their rating at worst as it means they will last a long time and not discolour too much with age.
His [WayBack] bigclive.com web-site is very small and shows some of his projects.
You can follow him on either youTube or on the the BigCliveDotCom reddit channel.
