Getting a local VM disk to OVH (or most any VM hoster) is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (dd, gzip ssh, gunzip, dd)

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/29

This is why I love nx:

Actually, saving the OVH image first is another 1, 2, 3, 4 (ssh, dd, gzip, dd).

Speed wasn’t bad BTW: [Wayback/Archive] Jilles🏳️‍🌈 on Twitter: “Done 167772160+0 records in 167772160+0 records out 85899345920 bytes (86 GB, 80 GiB) copied, 2481.09 s, 34.6 MB/s [root@arch ~]#” / Twitter

The JavaScript bookmarklets that saved me a lot of time documenting the Embarcadero docwiki outage

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/28

Winter 2022, the Embarcadero docwiki (their most active site which contains all documentation for all their products) was down. Twice. First for a week, then parts of it for almost a week, then only parts of the Alexandria got up in a stable way.

Back then I published The Delphi documentation site docwiki.embarcadero.com has been down/up oscillating for 4 days is now down for almost a day.. The product and library documentation for the most recent version got back up in a week, but the Code Examples and older product versions took much longers.

Usually once learns way more about a system when it is failing then when it is working. That was the case this system as well.

Documenting the failing system took considerable time, but would have taken way more if not for these two JavaScript browser bookmarklets:

Javascript – Copy string to clipboard as text/html – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/27

For my link archive is the below answer that should help me a lot with unfinished bits from Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs.

Goal of that post was to have some grounding and eventually find a means to build an HTML page in a new tab using a bookmarklet that I then later could post to my blog.

Assembling to HTML and putting it on the clipboard might be a lot easier and better fitting in my workflow.

So, via [Wayback/Archive] javascript copy html to clipboard – Google Search, for my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Javascript – Copy string to clipboard as text/html – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Loilo for answering and [Wayback/Archive] kofifus for asking):

Below is a function that will do exactly that. I tested it with your required browsers, it works in all of them. However, IE 11 will ask for confirmation on that action.

Explanation how this works can be found below, you may interactively test the function out in this jsFiddle.
