Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/19
[Wayback/Archive] I can control all your computers – YouTube was the first playful title now known as I tested EVERY single IP KVM – YouTube.
The video is a cool compilation of all the recent (last decade) IP KVM products Jeff has tested so far, which of course started with the Pi-KVM that opened the market from old and expensive IP KVM products.

GitHub – omegat-org/git-svn-sync: Continuously sync a svn to git, in the cloud.
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/18
Interesting: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – omegat-org/git-svn-sync: Continuously sync a svn to git, in the cloud.
It lives in the Amazon cloud, but should be adaptable to other cloud providers.
Query: [Wayback/Archive] service to sync between sourceforge svn and github git at DuckDuckGo

Finally! A Home Upgrade That Makes Sense (E-Ink Display) – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/17
Interesting, especially for my mentally retarded brother, as it uses a large E-ink display.
For him, it would require some batteries as well.
I learned from this that HomeAssistant has goodl Google integration. Great!

Some notes on Delphi Debugger Visualizers
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/16
Ever since Chris Hesik spoke on “RAD Studio 2010 what’s new in the IDE debugger”, wanted to write a blog post about it.
Still haven’t found time to do that in depth, but it’s important to at least jot a few notes, so let’s start with the 20111020 conference session notes.

Some links on Twitter automation through Selenium web-browser automation
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/16
A few years ago, Twitter basically killed API access by making it cost prohibitive for anything but very large organisations.

Hoe omgaan met iemand die ernstig ziek is en (misschien) niet meer beter wordt
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/15
Lees deze, juist ook als je dit nog nooit aan de hand gehad hebt:
- [Wayback/Archive] Hoe steun je iemand met kanker | 15 tips | Els van Dongen
- [Wayback/Archive] Hoe omgaan met iemand die niet meer beter wordt | Kanker.nl
- [WaybackSave/Archive] Wat zal ik zeggen, hoe kan ik helpen? › Ziekenhuis Nij Smellinghe
Het sluit enorm goed aan op mijn eigen ervaringen als partner/naaste van, patiënt, overlevende en ondersteuner van andere mensen met (al dan niet terminale) kanker.
