Need to check if “PrivacyNator” is already out: a local TensorFlowJS app that blurs your screen when you are not behind it

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/16

Interesting app that hopefully does get published: “PrivacyNator”.

So I need to check if anything new has turned up on [Wayback] “PrivacyNator” – Google Search.

The horrors of HTML email where there CSS

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/16

[Archive.is] Kat Maddox on Twitter: “Who’s the CEO of emails I need to talk to him… “:

This is why dreamweaver still exists.

[Archive.is] Kat Maddox on Twitter: “You don’t need a time machine to go back to the past. You just need to try to write HTML in emails. If I have to nest one more table, I’ll have gone back far enough to be able to warn people about the dot com bubble. Fuck it. I’m writing this newsletter in markdown”

Markdown with an HTML generator actually is quite a good way to get HTML emails going.

Another route is [Wayback] Foundation for Emails | A Responsive Email Framework from ZURB.

Oh remember this: [Archive.is] StuAngel on Twitter: “rule of thumb “the mail clients are about 5 years behind in HTML support” – that was like 10 years ago and they have never gotten any better… https://t.co/lVAW5YCubm”

unix/linux: using paste to turn separate lines into a comma separated list

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/16

Never to old to learn new things: I was totally unaware of the GNU paste tool that is available on virtually all unix/Linux/BSD core installs.

Thanks [WayBack] zeppelin for answering this question at [WayBack] linux – Turning separate lines into a comma separated list with quoted entries – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange:

You can add quotes with sed and then merge lines with paste, like that:

sed 's/^\|$/"/g'|paste -sd, -

If you are running a GNU coreutils based system (i.e. Linux), you can omit the trailing '-'.

If you input data has DOS-style line endings (as @phk suggested), you can modify the command as follows:

sed 's/\r//;s/^\|$/"/g'|paste -sd, -

Now I can get a comma separated list of for instance ssh available mac algorithms:

# ssh -Q mac | paste -sd, -
hmac-sha1,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-md5,hmac-md5-96,umac-64@openssh.com,umac-128@openssh.com,hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha1-96-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,hmac-md5-etm@openssh.com,hmac-md5-96-etm@openssh.com,umac-64-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com

Robotkots.nl: Deny-list and settings Dutch CoronaCheck Covid-19 QR code status app (by Joost Schellevis: @Schellevis)

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/15

Covid-19 QR codes blocked by the Dutch app are at [Wayback/Archive] Robotkots.nl (because QR codes are like robot vomit: [Archive] Alexander Klöpping on Twitter: “QR-codes zien eruit als robotkots. Dat is gewoon een feit.”)

This site used to be [Wayback] ctb.schellevis.net but has been redirected to Robotkots.nl for about a week.

Older versions of this site referred to the tests and vaccins by their code names, but now it uses more readable names, so I made a translation table:

[W/A] links Code name -> “Readable” name
[Wayback/Archive] LP217198-3 -> antigeen
[Wayback/Archive] LP6464-4 -> PCR
[Wayback/Archive] EU/1/20/1528 -> Comirnaty (BioNTech/Pfizer)
[Wayback/Archive] EU/1/20/1507 -> Spikevax (Moderna)
[Wayback/Archive] Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca)
[Wayback/Archive] EU/1/20/1525 -> Janssen
[Wayback/Archive] Covishield (Indiase versie Vaxzevria)
[Wayback/Archive] BBIBP-CorV -> BIBP (Sinopharm)
[Wayback/Archive] CoronaVac -> CoronaVac
[Wayback/Archive] Covaxin -> Covaxin

Most of the things you eat or use have to do with corn

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/15

Most important parts of the below Twitter thread:

  • Corn is not a _food_.
  • Corn is a _platform_.

Follow the thread using this tweet:

[WayBack/Archive.is] SwiftOnSecurity on Twitter: “You are slowly realizing it has literally been years, maybe decades, since you ate any meal made without corn.” (2020 capture of the thread)

Diagnose de Wild gemist? Start met kijken op NPO Start

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/12

Het verhaal van Ruud lijkt veel op dat van mij. De reden van de spoedoperatie was anders, en hij is inmiddels alweer – op een andere manier dan vroeger – aan het werk . Al duurt het iets langer, dat laatste gaat mij ook lukken.

Zelf werk ik ook aan een verhaal met de werktitel “You got one partial life left: let’s talk about poo and pee”, misschien zelfs wel in de vorm van een speech voor op conferenties en workshops. Want hoe eerder je erbij bent, hoe hoger de kans op beter worden.

Ruud’s verhaal is er al, en daar ben ik blij om.

Kijken dus: [Wayback/Archive] Diagnose de Wild gemist? Start met kijken op NPO Start

Begin dit jaar krijgt Ruud de Wild te horen dat hij darmkanker heeft. ‘Als ik hier goed uitkom, dan ben ik verplicht om dit verhaal te vertellen’. Dat nam Ruud zich voor toen hij de diagnose kreeg.

Some links on Wireguard as DHCP clients were not supported back then yet

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/12

Wireguard seems more light-weignt and secure than OpenVPN and IPsec. So I’m anxious to know how it is supposed to work for road warriors that often depend on receiving DHCP addresses into the network of the VPN server.

Some links that hopefully get me started to install a Wireguard VPN server and provide services to road warrior clients.

First the Twitter thread that got me investigating:

Then some links I found:

Google has stopped (Dutch: Google is gestopt) on older Anrdoid devices

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/12

I got the Dutch message “Google is gestopt” on an older Android device which translates to the below English error message “Google has stopped”.

Below is the solution based on [WayBack] Google is stopped – OnePlus Community

  1. Go to “Settings”
  2. In “Settings” go to “Apps”
  3. In the application list, browse to “Google”
  4. Uninstall all updates (sometimes this is under the hamburger or 3-dot icon)
  5. Confirm
  6. Start the Google Play Store
  7. Update the “Google” application
