Yup, I have been in the Ring ecosystem since way before Amazon took them over, and it is kind of hard to part from the useful cameras, so here is for my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Latest Products/Feature Request Board topics – Ring Community
Via two suggestions I did:

While moving from ancient hardware to more modern hardware, somehow Visual Studio Code had updated itself to a version that didn’t support the underlying operating system any more. Bummer!
Normally I would get the list of extensions through this command (which is listed in many places, like in my blog post How can you export the Visual Studio Code extension list? (via: Stack Overflow), but also for instance answered in the below question by [WaybackSave/Archive] Benny Ng):
code --list-extensions
That obviously would not work, but thanks to [Wayback/Archive] How can you export the Visual Studio Code extension list? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Andrew and [Wayback/Archive] MarkP) I now could do this:
ls -alh ~/.vscode/extensions
(That directory obviously is also in various forms of official documentation like in the the Your Extensions Folder section of [Wayback/Archive] Publishing Extensions | Visual Studio Code Extension API.
A comment to the above question pointed me to an interesting way to automate extension installs on various machines: pack the installed extension list into its own .vsix file:

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive.is] Converting Phono Inputs to Line-Level
It shows for some receiver models how to have the Phono input signals bypass the preamplifier (preamp) so they effectively become Line level inputs and there is no need for an extra devices that undoes RIAA equalisation.
If that fails, then you need something like the [Wayback/Archive.is] Line level to phono input converter diagram:
Or get you a [Wayback/Archive.is] iRIAA2 – Inverse RIAA Filter – Hagerman Audio Labs

I wrote a two earlier blog posts around puns in programming book indices before:
In the last one, I promised to list more occurrences which I now finally had time for to do.
But let me first elaborate more on the observation that modern computer books (like for instance on C# and Delphi beyond version 1) lack these kinds of index pun.
On the Delphi side, the index entry joke for recursion got removed no later than Delphi 3 (I am still looking for a Delphi 2 version of the Object Pascal Language Guide, see further below) even before the book being fully redone electronically and the index pages generation being automated in
I think I even understand why that is: the process of creating of indices. By the start of this century, more and more indices were automatically being generated and for the last 2 decades or so, all of them are. Back in the days however, indices were mostly done by hand. Nowadays, with everything automated, it is actually pretty tricky in most environments to add such an “infinite loop” index entry like in the Turbo Pascal book, as it would require two things at once:
