Schiphol: automatisch klachten melden bij BAS (Bewoners Aanspreekpunt Schiphol) en handmatig bij Vliegherrie.nl (onafhankelijk) via Over mijn dak

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/31

[Wayback/Archive] Over mijn dak | Wat je allemaal over je heen krijgt

Wij controleren elke dag de vluchten van de dag ervoor aan de hand van jouw instellingen. Wanneer jouw grenswaarden zijn overschreden sturen wij je een e-mail met vluchtinformatie en optioneel sturen wij een klacht namens jou naar bezoekbas.nl (BAS) gebaseerd op deze informatie. Wanneer jouw klacht naar BAS is verstuurd krijg je nog een e-mail. Wij sturen maximaal 1 klacht per dag, deze klacht kan meerdere hinderperiodes bevatten voor die dag.

Onze data wordt verzameld aan de hand van ADS-B transponders in vliegtuigen, ongeveer 80% van alle vliegtuigen zijn hiermee uitgerust.

I missed that the `choco list –localonly` had become default in 2015…

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/28

and when upgrading to Chocolatey to version 2, I got this error:

Invalid argument --localonly. This argument has been removed from the list command and cannot be used.

The upgrade broke a small batch file choco-list-installed.bat that I run on a lot of systems including both old and new chocolatey installations some dating back to before 2015 having this simple content:

Jesse J. Anderson on Twitter: “People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter…: things I don’t want to forget.”

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/27

Thread to remember that started with [Archive] Jesse J. Anderson • ADHD Creative on Twitter: “People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter. My desk is in a permanent state of chaos. Piles of books, papers, index cards, and random other things I don’t want to forget.” / Twitter

I bumped into it via [Archive] Ilse on Twitter: “Ja! Als ik het niet zie, denk ik er niet aan.” / Twitter (thanks!).

I saved the thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jessejanderson on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App and I am quoting it in full as it is so much me, highlighting it the most important bits for me:

People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter.

My desk is in a permanent state of chaos.

Piles of books, papers, index cards, and random other things I don’t want to forget.
Other ADHDers might keep a clean desk, but use their car as an extra closet and storage facility.

Why is this so common for people with ADHD?

It’s actually a form of self-preservation.
We often forget things we can’t see.

Instinctively, we know this.

When things are truly put away—hidden in the depths of a box or drawer—we know they disappear from our brains entirely.
This is why planners rarely work for people with ADHD.

The second we close the cover, we forget everything inside.

Without a routine in place, we might never remember to open it again.
When I was younger, sometimes my mom would be so fed up with my room she would clean it herself.

I _hated_ when she did this!

“How will I ever find anything?!”
When things are “a mess”, they are out in the open and I can use them as a physical memory palace—the visual of their environmental placement reminds me where things are.

It may look like a mess, but I can find exactly what I’m looking for.
This extends beyond just knick-knacks on a desk.

Sometimes a work responsibility will fall out of your brain.

You were doing it consistently and one day—for some unknown reason—you forgot to do it.

It’s no longer part of your environment, your routine.
When this happens, you know you’ll _never_ remember this thing again until something specifically reminds you.

As if it’s fallen into one of those boxes or drawers you never remember to open.
This can happen with people too.

If you haven’t seen someone recently, you might forget they exist entirely.

This can add a lot of stress to personal and family relationships.

People are offended and fail to understand.

5 days after the exploit publication of snowcra5h/CVE-2023-38408: Remote Code Execution in OpenSSH’s forwarded ssh-agent

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/26

TL;DR is at the bottom (;

5 days ago this exploit development got published: [Wayback/Archive] snowcra5h/CVE-2023-38408: CVE-2023-38408 Remote Code Execution in OpenSSH’s forwarded ssh-agent.

It is about [Wayback/Archive] NVD – CVE-2023-38408 which there at NIST isn’t rated (yet?), neither at [Wayback/Archive] CVE-2023-38408 : The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remot.

However at [Wayback/Archive] CVE-2023-38408- Red Hat Customer Portal it scores 7.3 and [Wayback/Archive] CVE-2023-38408 | SUSE it did get a rating of 7.5, so since I mainly use OpenSuSE I wondered what to do as the CVE is formulated densely at [Wayback/Archive] www.qualys.com/2023/07/19/cve-2023-38408/rce-openssh-forwarded-ssh-agent.txt: it mentions Alice, but no Bob or Mallory (see Alice and Bob – Wikipedia).

Luckily, others readly already did the fine reading and emphasised the important bits, especially at [Wayback/Archive] RCE Vulnerability in OpenSSH’s SSH-Agent Forwarding: CVE-2023-38408 (note that instead of Alex, they actually mean Alice)

“A system administrator (Alice) runs SSH-agent on her local workstation, connects to a remote server with ssh, and enables SSH-agent forwarding with the -A or ForwardAgent option, thus making her SSH-agent (which is running on her local workstation) reachable from the remote server.”

According to researchers from Qualys, a remote attacker who has control of the host, which Alex has connected to, can load (dlopen()) and immediately unload (dlclose()) any shared library in /usr/lib* on Alice’s workstation (via her forwarded SSH-agent if it is compiled with ENABLE_PKCS11, which is the default).

The vulnerability lies in how SSH-agent handles forwarded shared libraries. When SSH-agent is compiled with ENABLE_PKCS11 (the default configuration), it forwards shared libraries from the user’s local workstation to the remote server. These libraries are loaded (dlopen()) and immediately unloaded (dlclose()) on the user’s workstation. The problem arises because certain shared libraries have side effects when loaded and unloaded, which can be exploited by an attacker who gains access to the remote server where SSH-agent is forwarded to.

Load jQuery Only If Not Present

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/26

Since I will likely need this one day:

Searching for the above, I ended up in some kind of YouTube vortex or time sink. This happens a lot when learning new stuff, so lets dump a bit more of what I learned along the way.

Watch your `$`

For checking for the availability of version of jQuery, lots of links I found use $(). or $. constructs which depend on the context of $ being the global alias for the jQuery. When mixing libraries, this global symbol (yes, unlike many languages $ and _ are valid and heavily symbols in JavaScript) can be used by any of these libraries and if you are not absolutely sure about your context, using them is a plain risk: [Wayback/Archive] Global Variables Are Bad.

Adding to the confusion, there are both the jQuery() and jQuery, which seem to be distinctly different. To add to the confusion, there is also jquery.

Since JavaScript is weakly typed, any typos are for you (in the sense of “you, the developer”) to figure out.

Some links from the vortex are below.

Confirmation of my fear of a using global names

[Wayback/Archive] Why does JQuery have dollar signs everywhere? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Sachin Kainth for asking, and [Wayback/Archive] User T.J. Crowder for answering)
$ is just a shortcut for jQuery. The idea is that everything is done with the one global symbol (since the global namespaces is ridiculously crowded), jQuery, but you can use $ (because it’s shorter) if you like:
```
// These are the same barring your using noConflict (more below)
var divs = $("div");       // Find all divs
var divs = jQuery("div");  // Also find all divs, because
console.log($ === jQuery); // "true"
```
If you don’t want to use the alias, you don’t have to. And if you want $ to not be an alias for jQuery, you can use noConflict and the library will restore $ to whatever it was before jQuery took it over. (Useful if you also use Prototype or MooTools.)
[Wayback/Archive] What does the dot after dollar sign mean in jQuery when declaring variables? – Stack Overflow
Q

I see variables declared as:
```
$.root = $("body");
```
and
```
$root = $("body");
```
What is the difference between the two?

A (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Sampson)
Functions in JavaScript are objects. And like most objects in JavaScript, you can arbitrarily add properties to them. The $ function is just that, a function. So if you want to pop a property onto it and reference a jQuery collection, or reference, you can.

By adding the collection as a property on the $ function, it is one less variable in the current scope. You can examine the keys of the jQuery function before and after if you’d like to see how it affects the function’s topography and (enumerable) property list:
```
Object.keys($);
// ["fn", "extend", "expando"..."parseHTML", "offset", "noConflict"]

$.root = $("body");
// [<body>]

Object.keys($);
// ["fn", "extend", "expando"..."parseHTML", "offset", "noConflict", "root"]
```

jQuery documentation

[Wayback/Archive] jQuery() | jQuery API Documentation – returning an empty set

Returning an Empty Set

Calling the jQuery() method with no arguments returns an empty jQuery set (with a .length property of 0). Similarly, if an argument of null, undefined, an empty array ([]), or an empty string ("") is passed, the set contains no elements.

[Wayback/Archive] .jquery | jQuery API Documentation

The .jquery property is assigned to the jQuery prototype, commonly referred to by its alias $.fn. It is a string containing the version number of jQuery, such as “1.5.0” or “1.4.4”.

Examples:

Determine if an object is a jQuery object

var a = { what: "A regular JS object" },

b = $( "body" );

if ( a.jquery ) { // Falsy, since it's undefined

alert( "a is a jQuery object!" );

}

if ( b.jquery ) { // Truthy, since it's a string

alert( "b is a jQuery object!" );

}

Get the current version of jQuery running on the page

1

alert( "You are running jQuery version: " + $.fn.jquery );

[Wayback/Archive] Types | jQuery API Documentation: Prototype

Prototype

All objects have a prototype property. Whenever the interpreter looks for a property, it also checks in the object’s prototype if the property is not found on the object itself. jQuery uses the prototype extensively to add methods to jQuery instances. Internally, jQuery makes jQuery.fn an alias of jQuery.prototype so you can use either one (though plugin developers have standardized on fn).

var form = $("#myform");

// jQuery.fn === jQuery.prototype

jQuery.fn.clearForm = function() {

return this.find( ":input" ).each(function() {

this.value = "";

}).end();

};

// works for all instances of jQuery objects, because

// the new method was added to the prototype

console.log( form.clearForm ); // function

form.clearForm();

[Wayback/Archive] jQuery.fn.extend() | jQuery API Documentation

The jQuery.fn.extend() method extends the jQuery prototype ($.fn) object to provide new methods that can be chained to the jQuery() function.

This seems to be a construction that lots of people use to shoehorn truckloads of functionality into an almost global context. Doing that requires careful naming of each method, which the example does not make clear.

A really important jQuery documentation problem is the lack of a separate documentation entry stating jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype which is in the source code (more recent versions have it on different lines):
- [Wayback/Archive] jquery/core.js at 1.7.1 · jquery/jquery – line 76
```
jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {

    // The current version of jQuery being used
    jquery: version,
```
- [Wayback/Archive] jquery/core.js at 1.7.1 · jquery/jquery – line 192
  
  // The current version of jQuery being used
  jquery: "@VERSION",
[Wayback/Archive] jQuery.noConflict() | jQuery API Documentation

Many JavaScript libraries use $ as a function or variable name, just as jQuery does. In jQuery’s case, $ is just an alias for jQuery, so all functionality is available without using $. If you need to use another JavaScript library alongside jQuery, return control of $ back to the other library with a call to $.noConflict(). Old references of $ are saved during jQuery initialization; noConflict() simply restores them.

If for some reason two versions of jQuery are loaded (which is not recommended), calling $.noConflict( true ) from the second version will return the globally scoped jQuery variables to those of the first version.

…

If necessary, you can free up the jQuery name as well by passing true as an argument to the method. This is rarely necessary, and if you must do this (for example, if you need to use multiple versions of the jQuery library on the same page), you need to consider that most plug-ins rely on the presence of the jQuery variable and may not operate correctly in this situation.
[Wayback/Archive] jQuery – MDN Web Docs Glossary: Definitions of Web-related terms | MDN

jQuery is a JavaScript Library that focuses on simplifying DOM manipulation, AJAX calls, and Event handling.

jQuery uses a format, $(selector).action() to assign an element(s) to an event. To explain it in detail, $(selector) will call jQuery to select selector element(s), and assign it to an event API called .action().

Before writing this post, I had no idea what jQuery was and why it had the word Query in the name (I wrongly associated it with a server-side JavaScript SQL library).

JavaScript documentation

[Wayback/Archive] Object prototypes – Learn web development | MDN

Prototypes are the mechanism by which JavaScript objects inherit features from one another.

…

Every object in JavaScript has a built-in property, which is called its prototype. The prototype is itself an object, so the prototype will have its own prototype, making what’s called a prototype chain. The chain ends when we reach a prototype that has null for its own prototype.

…

Prototypes are a powerful and very flexible feature of JavaScript, making it possible to reuse code and combine objects.

In particular they support a version of inheritance. Inheritance is a feature of object-oriented programming languages that lets programmers express the idea that some objects in a system are more specialized versions of other objects.
[Wayback/Archive] Object – JavaScript | MDN

Nearly all objects in JavaScript are instances of Object; a typical object inherits properties (including methods) from Object.prototype, although these properties may be shadowed (a.k.a. overridden). However, an Object may be deliberately created for which this is not true (e.g. by [Wayback/Archive] Object.create(null)), or it may be altered so that this is no longer true (e.g. with [Wayback/Archive] Object.setPrototypeOf).

Changes to the Object prototype object are seen by all objects through prototype chaining, unless the properties and methods subject to those changes are overridden further along the prototype chain. This provides a very powerful although potentially dangerous mechanism to override or extend object behavior.
[Wayback/Archive] javascript – How does the “this” keyword work? – Stack Overflow has a few very precise and elaborate answers. Too much to quote here so I just thank these people:
- [Wayback/Archive] Maxim Gershkovich for asking
- [Wayback/Archive] Sebastian Simon for answering
- [Wayback/Archive] Mahesha999 for answering

Note `$` is used to prefix variables too

[Wayback/Archive] jquery – Why use $ (dollar sign) in the name of javascript variables? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Simon and [Wayback/Archive] Konerak):

The $ in the variable name is only part of the name, but the convention is to use it to start variable names when the variable represents a jQuery object.
var $myHeaderDiv = $('#header');
var myHeaderDiv = document.getElementById('header');
Now later in your code, you know the $myHeaderDiv is already a jQuery object, so you can call jQuery functions:
$myHeaderDiv.fade();
To get from the DOM-variable to the jQuery variable:
var $myHeaderDiv = jQuery(myHeaderDiv); //assign to another variable
jQuery(myHeaderDiv).fade(); //use directly

//or, as the $ is aliased to the jQuery object if you don't specify otherwise:
var $myHeaderDiv = jQuery(myHeaderDiv); //assign
$(myHeaderDiv).fade(); //use
To get from the jQuery variable to the DOM-variable.
var myHeaderDiv = $myHeaderDiv.get(0);

[Wayback/Archive] How to check what version of jQuery is loaded? – Stack Overflow – Comment by [Wayback/Archive] Uzbekjon:

There are 2 ways to check currently loaded jquery version: jQuery.fn.jquery and jQuery().jquery (shorthands: $.fn.jquery $().jquery). I wrote about it in details with links to jquery source code if you’d like to dig deeper
- [Wayback/Archive] jQuery Howto: How to check jQuery version?
```
jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {         // The current version of jQuery being used         jquery: version,
```
[Wayback/Archive] How to check what version of jQuery is loaded? – Stack Overflow – Comment:

Don’t use jQuery().jquery. It creates a jQuery object for nothing, just use what the answer says.

– user9016207

Via [Wayback/Archive] jquery fn – Google Search:

[Wayback/Archive] javascript – What does jQuery.fn mean? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] ajsie and [Wayback/Archive] Andy E)
jQuery.fn is defined shorthand for jQuery.prototype. From the source code:
```
jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {
    // ...
}
```
That means jQuery.fn.jquery is an alias for jQuery.prototype.jquery, which returns the current jQuery version. Again from the source code:
```
// The current version of jQuery being used
jquery: "@VERSION",
```
- [Wayback/Archive] jquery/core.js at 1.7.1 · jquery/jquery – line 76
```
jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {
```
- [Wayback/Archive] jquery/core.js at 1.7.1 · jquery/jquery – line 192
  
  // The current version of jQuery being used
  jquery: "@VERSION",
[Wayback/Archive] javascript – Get jQuery version from inspecting the jQuery object – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Jeff and [Wayback/Archive] Devy):

for the cases where your page is loading with other javascript libraries like mootools that are conflicting with the $ symbol, you can use jQuery instead.

For instance, jQuery.fn.jquery or jQuery().jquery would work just fine:

Online GIF rotator (uses image URL; also rotates JPEG images and caches the results online)

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/25

The [Wayback/Archive] Online GIF rotator does not justify the tool enough as it:

also rotates JPEG images
can rotate an image from an existing URL
presents the rotated images as a URL (probably temporarily, as I doubt it stores them permanently because of space issues and possible abuse)

I used it at C13/C14 wiring diagram live/neutral/earth, which originally [Wayback/Archive] had the image from IEC 60320 – Wikipedia: C13/C14_coupler: File:IEC60320 C13.jpg – Wikipedia in original upright position:

The online image editor with this image is at [Wayback/Archive] Online GIF rotator with C13 female cable end that has holes.

The rotated image is now at [Wayback/Archive] ezgif-7-8f95ded85c.jpg (340×600) – hopefully the last link now fails (:

New in box: Super Serial Card – Apple Computer

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/24

Still need to test this out, but I got a new in box “Super Serial Card – Apple Computer”

Details: Apple II serial cards – Wikipedia

Apple Computer’s Super Serial Card, sometimes abbreviated as “SSC”, is the most well known communication card made for the Apple II. Apple called it “Super” because it was able to function as both of Apple’s previous cards, the Apple II Communications Card for modem use and the Apple II Serial Interface Card for printer use. A jumper block was used to configure the card for each of the two modes. The card has a maximum speed of 19,200 bit/s and is compatible with both ROM revisions of the Apple II Serial Interface Card. Reliable communications at 9600 bit/s and higher required disabling of interrupts. The card can actually run at 115,200 bit/s as well, using undocumented register settings; but speeds between 19,200 and 115,200 are not possible using this technique.
