Some Dutch legal on your security camera’s that cover areas outside your own property

Some Dutch legal on your security camera’s that cover areas outside your own property: [WayBack] Politie pakt jongens op dankzij beelden slimme deurbel – Beeld en geluid – Nieuws – Tweakers.
Most important one (from the Dutch office that monitors GDPR compliance) in [WayBack] Cameratoezicht in en rond woningen | Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens:
In en rond woningen kunnen camera’s opgehangen worden om eigendommen te beveiligen en bewoners te beschermen. Zowel organisaties, zoals woningbouwverenigingen, als particuliere bewoners kunnen besluiten camera’s te plaatsen. Dit is niet verboden, maar er zijn wel voorwaarden aan verbonden.
Cameratoezicht door personen valt in principe niet onder de Algemene verordening gegevensbescherming (AVG). De Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens houdt hier dus ook geen toezicht op.
Wie een camera ophangt, moet ervoor zorgen dat de camera zo min mogelijk gericht is op de openbare weg of op eigendommen van anderen.
Is een camera wel (deels) gericht op een (deel) van de openbare weg? Of filmt iemand bijvoorbeeld de tuin van de buurman? Dan is de AVG wél van toepassing en houdt de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens dus ook toezicht.

DICTATOR Adjunct 2500 mechanische deursluiter inbouw
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/15
Had to replace the door closing coil spring as the chain broke; found it at [WayBack] DICTATOR – mechanische deursluiters voor het zelfsluitend maken van deuren. Inbouw of opbouw op de deur:
Adjunct 2500 & 2550
Adjunct 2500 / 2550 ketting inbouwdeursluiters
De Adjunct 2500 en de Adjunct 2550 zijn mechanisch werkende ketting-inbouwdeursluiters. Deze sluiten, praktisch onzichtbaar, uw deuren. De deursluiter bestaat uit een in de deur gestoken buis met veer, trekstang en ketting. De constructie wordt d.m.v. een op de buis geschroefd bevestigingsplaatje bevestigd. De sluitkracht wordt overgebracht door de ketting, die over een gehard stalen prop loopt en ingehaakt wordt in de sleutelgatvormige opening van een kozijnplaatje. Voor zwaardere deuren is de Adjunct 2550 met een diameter van 22 leverbaar, met een dubbele veersterkte t.o.v. de Adjunct 2500
Belangrijkste voordelen Adjunct 2500 / 2550 ketting inbouwdeursluiters
- Nagenoeg onzichtbaar door montage in de deur.
- Mechanisch werkend, dus onderhoudsvrij.
- Toepasbaar voor alle binnendeuren, zowel stompe als opdek.
- In combinatie met een DICTATOR deuropvanger een goed en prijsgunstig
alternatief voor een deurdranger.

The Charlie Calvert “Here’s to Good Friends and New Adventures” article
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/14
Since this contains a list of contains from back then (20+ years ago!), I save it for future reference: [WayBack] Here’s to Good Friends and New Adventures
I would like to make a very short list of the other people at Borland who I have had the privilage of working with very closely. These people are Jason Sprenger, Xavier Pacheco, Steve Teixeira, John Kaster, Lar Mader and Rich Jones. Each of these people I worked with every day over a period of years, and they never showed me anything but the very best and most admirable human traits. I hope I am so lucky as to work with such fine people again in my life.
As for all the others, there is no way even to begin to thank them. A few of these people are Karen Giles, Lino Tadros, Steve Trefethen, Christine Ellis, Paolo Ciccone, Yolanda Davis, Blake Stone, Bruneau Babet, Dave Marancik, Anders Ohlsson, Dave Powell, Claudio Briceno, Joe Manzone, Terri Bartos, Dave Wilhelm, Andrea Ginsberg, Jason Vokes, Ludo Neveu, Martin Pamdeth, Martin Raim, Ernesto Franchini, Edwin Desouza, Zack Urlocker, Rosemary Abell, Robert Warren, Scott Bussinger, Richard Morris, Paul Beach, Jeremy McGee, Nimish Vora, Michael Swindell, Lorie Hull, Kendyll Upstrom, Kari Gallant, Allen Bauer, Josh Dahlby, Jose Rubens, John Thomas, John Williams, J.D. Hildebrand, Hizo Jozsef, Goran Kallmark, Ben Riga, George Cross, Gary Benner, Fred Felman, Erik Jakowitz, Danny Thorpe, Craig Farrell, Claudia Currie, Bill Weber, Lance Devon, Robert West, Amber Hein, Richard Kubat, Jeff Peters, Ellie Peters, Krystyna Niedzwiedzka, Kathy Berkland, Kelly Welty, Tom Lam, Nester Miranda (and Carlos!), Dana Kaufman, Pawal Ksiezyk, Jim Wright, Lori and Ellen from travel, Sergey Orlik and many others who I just don’t happen to recall right now, or who I liked very much but only met a few times.
I’m also indebted to Ray Kanopka, Mark Miller, Dick Malley, Dan Horn, Taco Oosterkamp, Bob Swart, Ann Lynnworth, Marco Cantu, Jeroen Pluimers, and many more who worked in the Borland community and brought me great joy. It’s amazing to consider how many talented and remarkable people have been drawn to this company.

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/13
[WayBack] Raspberry Pi Turn Tv On/Off CEC – Tim Leland (with some quote fixes) via [Archive.is] Brad Fitzpatrick on Twitter: “lol tear (from )… “:
Install
cec-utilsOnce everything is installed you should be able to control the tv using the command below:
- Turn tv on:
echo 'on 0' | cec-client -s -d 1- Turn tv off:

echo 'as' | cec-client -s -d 1- Tv status:
echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1Troubleshooting Tips:
- Make sure your tv supports cec and that it is enabled. Tv manufactures call CEC by different names so you may have to do some research depending on your brand.

Some links on xargs simulation in PowerShell
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/13
On nx, I’m used to xargs which allows to convert from a pipe of output into arguments passed to a command. This is useful, as many commands only accept arguments as parameters.
In PowerShell, you can usually avoid an xargs equivalent because commandlet output is a stream of objects that you can post-process using . I for instance used that in PowerShell: recovering from corrupt empty *.nupkg files after a disk was accidentally full during update.
Here are some xargs equivalency examples:
