The Blast-RADIUS bomb logo reminded me of “Kaputt” in the original Castle Wolfenstein game
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/12
There is a Blast-RADIUS exploit that makes many uses of RADIUS vulnerable as they depend on MD5, and MD5 collisions have been sped up considerably. Basically only RADIUS TLS seems safe now.
The Blast-RADIUS logo on the right reminded me about using grenades in a game 40+ years old, so lets digress: Archive.org is such a great site, with for instance the original Apple ][ Manual of Castle Wolfenstein by MUSE Software (the manual is written in Super-Text which they also sold):
The PDF from [Archive] Instruction Manual: Castle Wolfenstein from Muse Software : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive is at
[Archive.org PDF view/Archive.is] archive.org/download/1982-castle-wolfenstein/1982-castle-wolfenstein.pdf
The trick in that game when entering a room full of SS-officers was to throw a grenade into a chest of grenades in the middle of that room, then quickly leaving the room, waiting a few seconds then re-entering that room.
Not many moves further, you would find the chest with the war plans and find the exit, then finish the game.
Back to Blast RADIUS

Installing WhatsApp Desktop from the Console
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/09
Related to WhatsApp Desktop for Mac or PC cannot only chat but also voice and video call: installing WhatsApp from the command-line.
That was easy to do via winget:
c:\temp>winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp Found WhatsApp [WhatsApp.WhatsApp] Version 2.2222.12 This application is licensed to you by its owner. Microsoft is not responsible for, nor does it grant any licenses to, third-party packages. Downloading https://web.whatsapp.com/desktop/windows/release/x64/WhatsAppSetup.exe ██████████████████████████████ 145 MB / 145 MB Successfully verified installer hash Starting package install... Successfully installed
This was a while ago, so the version number by now is dated, but it is about the command winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] whatsapp desktop microsoft store – Recherche Google
- [Wayback/Archive] WhatsApp Desktop – Microsoft Store Apps which shows one of the IDs at the end of the URL:
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/whatsapp-desktop/9NKSQGP7F2NH - [Wayback/Archive] Download and install WhatsApp with winget which shows the easier to use ID that I used above.

Linkjes rondom Macrogol: die van Ratiopharm verdraag ik het beste.
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/08
Eerst eveven een inleiding: waarom gebruik ik Macrogol en waarom deze post juist nu?
De TL;DR: ik heb ontlastingsklachten na veel ingrepen vanwege uitgezaaide endeldarmkanker. Macrogol helpt de ontlasting beter van consistentie te krijgen.
In 2023 testte ik 4 verschillende fabrikanten vanwege een beleidswijziging van de verzekeraar (wat hen veel geld kostte en mij veel tijd), wat achteraf goed was omdat een maand terug ineens het middel van de fabrikant die mijn lichaam het beste verdraagt niet leverbaar was.
Gelukkig heb ik van eerdere problemen met medcijnlevering (hallo allopurinol en hallo crisis in 2023 [Wayback/Archive] Dit is waarom we in Nederland zoveel medicijnen tekortkomen – EenVandaag!)
Een stukje geschiedenis
Na alle behandelingen van eind 2019 tot en met halverwege 2022 rondom mijn uitgezaaide endeldarmkanker blijf ik met LAR-syndroom, wat kort is voor low anterior resection syndrome. De Low Anterior Resection was bij mij onderdeel was van een Total Mesorectal Excision: een methode waarbij relatief veel omliggend weefsel rond de endeldarm wordt weggenomen om zo de kans op relatief lokale uitzaaiingen te verminderen.
Dit was het alternatief voor een permanent colostoma: een stoma van de dikke darm. Bij dit alternatief hoort een – vooraf door mij geaccepteerd risico – op TME post operatieve klachten. De operatie is een forse ingreep laag in het kleine bekken waar weinig ruimte is en bij vrouwen meer doorheen loopt (vagina en baarmoeder) dan bij mannen (prostaat), naast uiteraard blaas, plasbuis en de endeldarm.
