(over het jaar 2025) Hoe kun je gratis belasting-aangifteprogramma in Excel downloaden? | GratisSoftware.nl

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/03

Helaas is het meeste op de pagina [Wayback/Archive] Hoe kun je gratis belasting-aangifteprogramma in Excel downloaden? | GratisSoftware.nl automatisch gegenereerd.

Het belangrijkste stukje is de download link die in een aantal stappen naar de echte download gat: WeTransfer, helaas geen KPN File Transfer of een andere die qua privacy minder omstreden is, zie mijn eerdere blog-post Bye bye WeTransfer, hello Wormhole – Simple, private file sharing.

De quick-link is een nummertje hoger dan die van vorig jaar in Belastingaangifte 2024 met Excel gratis downloaden | Computer Idee.

Let op: het werkt eigenlijk alleen goed in Microsoft Excel op Windows. Dus de gegenereerde content over andere omgevingen mag je geloven, maar dan zit je zelf ook op de blaren.

Couldn’t find earlier Whyatt comics than the copy at “How machine learning actually works – 9GAG”

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/03

How machine learning actually worksThe original by [Wayback/Archive] Tim Whyatt must be older than the one on the right published on 9GAG, but I couldn’t find it, so the below inks will have to do as the 2022/2023 I found on Twitter (with the picture further below) seemed to be more original:

It’s fitting to see the Machine Learning mocking a few years before ChatGPT and other Large Language Models based Machine Learning web sites.

By now I really wonder how much they have involved as back then they were in a state of pity. There were many examples like for instance [Wayback/Archive] Microsoft Kills Bing AI’s ChatGPT-Powered Alter Ego Sydney.

Common Conditional Access Misconfigurations and Bypasses in Azure – TrustedSec

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/02

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Common Conditional Access Misconfigurations and Bypasses in Azure – TrustedSec

Via [Wayback/Archive] Stephan Berger on Twitter: “”Blocking Linux operating systems used to not be available in Conditional Access. It’s worth a review however because there have been times when I have gained unintended access simply by using a Linux operating system such as Ubuntu to log in.” [1] Yep, a customer told me… “

TTN Coverage

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/01

Reminder to self: check if [Wayback/Archive] TTN Coverage survived, I didn’t use it that often, but it was very useful to figure out where LoRaWAN nodes of The Things Network are located.

Thread:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] TTN Mapper – time to shut down? – Page 1 – TTN Network and Services – The Things Network
  2. [Wayback/Archive] TTN Mapper – time to shut down? – Page 2 – TTN Network and Services – The Things Network

Hoe is het nu met BBB en kerrolain? (wegens “Hoe een reclametypetje het weleens tot premier zou kunnen schoppen”)

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/01

Weliswaar werd [Wayback/Archive] Hoe een reclametypetje het weleens tot premier zou kunnen schoppen gepubliceerd op 1 april, maar de strekking klopte: gewiekste marketing gefinancierd door de agri-reuzen maakten BBB en kerrolain binnen enkele jaren groot.

Hoe zou het nu met ze zijn? Net zo uitgedoofd als vergelijkbare partijen met veel onderliggend extreem-rechts gedachtengoed (zoals bijvoorbeeld bleek tijdens de 4-mei affaire).
