Wireshark Cheat Sheet – Commands, Captures, Filters, Shortcuts

[Wayback/Archive] Wireshark Cheat Sheet – Commands, Captures, Filters, Shortcuts

It is available both a huge [Wayback/Archive] jpg (2500×2096 pixels), so it already prints well on A5 or A4 sized paper for reference and as a [Wayback/Archive] PDF (so you can print it on even larger paper sizes).

Some Bitly Support links

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/27

Knowing part of URL shortening by browsing through shortened URLs and creating auto-generated ones, I was new to create custom shortened URLs.

So here are some links about using bit.ly:

Excel for MacOS seems to have no post-paste shortcut to modify the paste options

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/24

Excel on Windows has a neat trick where you can press the Ctrl key after a paste operation.

This lets you determine after pasting if you want to change the [Wayback/Archive] Paste options in a similar way “Paste Special” will modify this while pasting as shown for instance at [Archive] What is the Excel keyboard shortcut for ‘paste special’? – Quora (excluded from the WayBack machine)

  1. Copy your source (Ctrl + C)
  2. Press Ctrl + V – Pastes as usual
  3. Press Ctrl – Paste options get displayed
  4. Press ‘P’ for paste special /‘V’ for values/’F’ for formulas etc

and [Wayback/Archive] Shortcut in Word or Excel for Special Paste?

Word 2013:

After having copied something go where you want to paste it (without pasting the format). CTRL+V (it will temporarily paste the format too) then CTRL (push and release the control key) then T (the last T means “keep text only”).

Excel 2013:

After having copied something go where you want to paste it (without pasting the format). CTRL+V (it will temporarily paste the format too) then CTRL (push and release the control key) then V (the last V means “paste Values”).
It’s important that the second CTRL key is released before typing the last letter.
This method requires just 4 keyboard hits, no macros and no use of the mouse in a dialog window.

The cool thing about this feature is that you can visually see the original paste, then determine how you want to modify it.

On MacOS, there is the post-paste glyph you can click, but no keyboard shortcut.

Basically, here are three ways I now work on MacOS while pasting:

  • When I really want to paste all properties on the ckipboard:
    • CommandV: Paste
  • When I want to decide which properties to copy:
    • CtrlCommandV: Paste Special
  • When I want just text:
    • CtrlU, CommandV: Edit cell, Paste

On MacOS, CtrlU is the equivalent of F2 on Windows (similarly, CommandT is the equivalent of F4) and brings the cell into edit mode before pasting. The mouse-equivalent is double clicking the cell before pasting.

I got that CtrlU / F2 trick from [Wayback/Archive] Always Match Destination Formatting | PCMag via [Wayback/Archive] Excel copy-paste: always match destination formatting – Super User.

Ask Delphi

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/21

LOL, Ionica taught me about a [Wayback/Archive] Ask Delphi “oracle”.

So I could not resist:

Ask Delphi:
Is Delphi a programming language?
Delphi speculates:
“It’s expected”

Don’t take the ethics of this “oracle” too seriously, as it is based on AI and we all know how that depends on the data it has been trained with.

Linkjes over wat allemaal te regelen als je laatste ouder is overleden

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/20

Linkjes van met name Belastingdienst en Overheid.

Eerst een paar notities:

  1. pluis het laatste jaar aan afschriften van je ouder af
  2. zeg alles van die afschriften af wat niet meer nodig is
  3. vaak kan uit coulance (zeker als je ouder in het 1e kwartaal is overleden) het hele jaar ongedaan worden gemaakt (bijvoorbeeld lidmaatschap van zorginstelling, kerk, personeelsvereniging, etc)
  4. controleer mogelijke huurcontracten: wat krijg je terug, klopt de ingangsdatum van de verhuurder met wat er op het contract staat
  5. controleer verzekeringen: is er een koophuis met een opstalverzekering, en kan die doorlopen op de “erven van” of niet?
  6. hou rekening dat voor verklaring van erfrecht de gemeente van de laatste woonplaats van je ouder onderzoek doet in basisregistratie personen, en dat dit ruim meer dan een maand kan duren

Dan een paar linkjes:

Reminder to check if Dutch teletext now has RSS or is cached outside nos.nl – (via @Schellevis)

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/18

Reminder to self to check out the results of these two tweets:

A few related links, most via [Wayback/Archive] nos teletext rss – Google Search:

The teletext/teletekst feeds are also not on these URLs:

The feeds site seems to be based on Feedburner which is a product that Google seems to be gradually winding down.

Oh: if you have DVB-C or DVB-T, you can filter out the teletext signal and host it. VLC can do the filtering towards a visual teletext representation:
