Converting an inline svg image to file

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/28

Via [Wayback/Archive.is] inline svg to file – Google Search, found first [Wayback/Archive] Convert Inline SVG to File – Eyedeal Graphics

  1. Use your browser’s “View Source” or “Page Source” command to view the page’s HTML code.
  2. Locate and copy all the code between the beginning <svg> and closing </svg> tags.
  3. Paste the copied code, including the <svg> and </svg> tags into your text editor of choice. (Atom, Brackets, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, etc.)
  4. Save the text file as an SVG file. (ex. legacy-xyz-products-logo.svg)
  5. Open the SVG file in your preferred vector editing tool. (Adobe, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Sketch, Inkscape, etc.)

That wasn’t enough, as not all SVG files then render properly, so luckily the next hit was [Wayback/Archive] html – Convert an inline SVG into a SVG file – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Paul LeBeau):

Boy, I wonder what can go wrong with [Wayback/Archive] Yes, I can connect to a DB in CSS

[Wayback/Archive] ~mvforell/toluol – sourcehut git: Rust tool to make DNS queries

From [Archive] Max on Twitter: “@b0rk Shameless plug of an alternative to dig I’ve written: … It’s not complete yet (it can’t do what dig +trace does), but it’s getting there :) I’m also planning to add coloured output to make it more readable. …” / Twitter

In a reaction to [Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “I wish dig‘s output actually looked like this? I feel like there’s no reason (except compatibility or whatever) that it has to be as unreadable of it is …” / Twitter

All the Cyber Ladies: Een podcast voor, door en over vrouwen in cybersecurity. – PodcastFeed

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/20

Een ontzettend belangrijke podcast is [Wayback/Archive] All the Cyber Ladies – PodcastFeed

Een podcast voor, door en over vrouwen in cybersecurity.

Ik mis geregeld de periode van 30-35 jaar terug waarin IT-teams vaak “gewoon” uit 25% vrouwen bestonden. Gemêleerde teams zijn van onschatbare waarde voor goed functionerende IT, niet alleen vanuit oogpunt van #a11y en #inclusie: ook voor information security.

De tijd maakt inmiddels gelukkig een inhaalslag: er komen steeds meer vrouwen in de IT en je merkt gestaag dat teams diverser worden. All the Cyber Ladies draagt eraan bij dat proces binnen information security verder te versnellen.

De podcast is begin juni dit jaar van start gegaan en heeft nu al een trouwe schare volgers die hopelijk verder groeit naarmate Google deze hoger in de zoek-index opneemt.

Uiteraard is er ook een [Wayback/Archive] All the Cyber Ladies – PodcastFeed RSS zodat je die aan je eigen Podcast Player kunt toevoegen (en vaak staat die er al zoals bijvoorbeeld bij [Wayback/Archive] Player.FM: All The Cyber Ladies podcast)

Via [Wayback/Archive] Lucinda on Twitter: “@jpluimers Zeker!! Je kan de podcast in veel andere players vinden. https://t.co/ksUB8Hd7e4” / Twitter.

Removing identifiable metada from PDF files

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/19

I archived a long thread that started with [Archive] 𝚓𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚢﹏𝚜𝚊𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜 on Twitter: “More fun publisher surveillance: Elsevier embeds a hash in the PDF metadata that is unique for each time a PDF is downloaded, this is a diff between metadata from two of the same paper. Combined with access timestamps, they can uniquely identify the source of any shared PDFs. ” / Twitter at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @json_dirs on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App.

TL;DR: publishers put hashes in PDF metadata to track back redistribution; they hardly use smarter watermarking as those are difficult to automatically parse; the hashes can be easily removed.
