It was about 2 years ago that Jilles reminded me I had a flight case with gadgets too.
Back when I assembled it in 2018, I had big plans for showing private “cloud” container experimentation and gadget stuff at conferences. Then 2019 kicked in with rectum cancer.
So it was good that he helped me motivating to get it working again, especially as the time around assembling it so much fun and working on it brought back those days.
Here are the pictures:

A few years back I suddenly had almost all my .nupkg files that Chocolatey uses to track installed software become zero sized.
So I posted a question at [Wayback/Archive] Need help restoring .nupkg files having zero size · Discussion #2765 · chocolatey/choco which got this answer:

This reminded me so much about the atom spin tables I wrote some Turbo Pascal code for in the late 1980s to help a university professor. Maybe one day, I will find that code back.
(note: I expanded the actual googl link because Google URL Shortener was killed in 2019 with links stopping to work in 2025, see [Wayback/Archive] Google Graveyard – Killed by Google)

[Wayback/Archive] Tekenencefalitis (TBE) | RIVM
Er is een vaccin dat voor 95% bescherming geeft. Mensen die lange tijd verblijven in gebieden waar tekenencefalitis veel voorkomt, kunnen zich laten vaccineren. Dit wordt bijvoorbeeld aangeraden voor verblijf in delen van Midden- en Oost-Europa. Op de website van de Landelijke Coördinatie Reizigersadvisering staat vermeld in welke landen/gebieden vaccinatie geadviseerd wordt. Vooralsnog is er geen reden om in Nederland te vaccineren.Ook het zo snel mogelijk verwijderen van een teek verkleint de kans op infectie, hoewel het virus al snel na de beet wordt overgebracht. Een snelle verwijdering kan deze ziekte dus niet altijd voorkomen, maar verkleint ook de kans op andere ziekten die door teken overgebracht kunnen worden, zoals de ziekte van Lyme. Tekenbeten kunnen voorkomen worden door beschermende kleding te dragen en de onbedekte huid in te smeren met een middel dat DEET (diethyltoluamide) diethyltoluamide bevat. Deze maatregelen geven geen 100% bescherming, waardoor tekenbeetcontrole altijd nodig is na verblijf in het groen. Het is belangrijk om een teek zo snel mogelijk te verwijderen. Op de pagina Verwijderen van een teek lees je hoe je dit het best kunt doen.

Two years back there was the below quoted interesting German twitter thread.
Hopefully by now more bi-facial installations are used as they are just as efficient but take up less ground space.
There are now two maximum peaks in the morning and evening, which makes them relatively more productive outside the summer periods thereby more evenly spreading energy production over the year.
I think that last bit is especially important.

Earlier this week NSA posted something I didn’t expect them to get done this soon, not even after all the public pressure about it mid last month (see for instance [Wayback/Archive] Admiral Grace Hopper’s landmark lecture is found, but the NSA won’t release it • MuckRock):
The were published as 2 YouTube videos(embedded videos below the blog post signature):
More historic lectures at NSA: [Wayback/Archive] National Security Agency/Central Security Service > Helpful Links > NSA FOIA > Declassification & Transparency Initiatives > Historical Releases
Grace Hopper explaining the length of a nanosecond is mentioned in my blog post One second code: Do YOU know how much your computer can do in a second?.
