Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24
Very cool web site that I only discovered last year, with the clever name: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Drop a font!
Fonts aren’t uploaded,
they stay on your computer
Back then I used it to investigate some properties of SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) fonts as sometimes editing a PDF is easier than manually entering/transcribing it in MuseScore.
Of course you can use local font tools, but this is far easier for occasional use.
The beta can do even more at the risk of bumping into bugs: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Note the colour matching of the text around the circle with the fondue background image.
Oh: it is open source too, written mainly in JavaScript, CSS and a tiny bits of HTML and Python, based on Vue.js and npm, and available as parts in the repositories of [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue · GitHub:

Today, very briefly, Tweakers.net leaked the WHY2025 badge: a Konsool/Tanmatsu remix with two ESP32s, a LORA module, screen, keyboard and sensors

The leak was short enough for Google to index the imagery and this text:
WHY2025 nam het zekere voor het onzekere door een ESP32-controller, een lora-chip en een kraakhelder scherm in zijn badge te verwerken. Tweakers …
Edit 20250727: two days later the page got reinstated without in their “Gathering of Tweakers” portion of the site a clarification why it was taken off-line for two days. It is still at the same URL, so I re-archived it: [Wayback/ArchiveBad] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule (need to re-archive in Archive.is as their IP got blocked)
The page now is a nice 404: [Wayback/Archive] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule
Not sure why the page got retracted, as the specs got released on LinkedIn a month ago at [Wayback/Archive] 🚀 Officially public launched: the WHY2025 Badge! | Jelmer Lopes Terto:

Overlay of commands / shortcuts / keys pressed – Screencast Mode · Issue #981 · microsoft/PowerToys · GitHub
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/23
This is a reminder to check if this below late 2019 proposal inspired by Visual Studio Code Screencast mode¹ already made it: [Wayback/Archive] Overlay of commands / shortcuts / keys pressed – Screencast Mode · Issue #981 · microsoft/PowerToys · GitHub which mentions some tools that can already do this
Here is a list of FOSS apps that currently do this (sorted by stars):
- github.com/Code52/carnac – Unmaintained, does not work on most applications
- github.com/Phaiax/Key-n-Stroke
- github.com/marius-sucan/KeyPress-OSD – Commercial version available
- https://github.com/Jagailo/YetAnotherKeyDisplayer
- mulaRahul/keyviz – Quite new and looks good
To add to this list (unsorted):
- github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys – Blender addon
- github.com/AxDSan/KeyPose – free alternative to MousePosé for Windows
- github.com/keycastr/keycastr – macOS only
In the meantime, I am using Key-n-Stroke as it is the only still supported one I found that is easily turned off/on when typing sensitive content like passwords:

The CAT files that prove Windows driver files are signed: some links on decoding them
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/23
Maybe in the future I have enough energy to play around more with the Windows .CAT files that are catalog files with digital signatures for Windows driver files (.sys) that can be installed via Windows information files (.inf).
Some links for that:

Windows Data Types (BaseTsd.h) – Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/22
A while ago, I had to figure out the field sizes for some Windows API functions. In the distance past, the base data types used to be defined in windows.h, but over the decades that file has been split into various other files as there are far more than just the BOOL, int, UINT, DWORD, HWND, LPARAM and WPARAM data types. Currently the data types are defined in [Wayback/Wayback] Windows Data Types (BaseTsd.h) – Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn.
Note that C++ allows to specify bit field sizes for fields in struct composite data types, so under some circumstances, fields my have a different number of bits than you might expect from their data type.
