(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
The 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:
- 2021 [Wayback/Archive] How machine learning actually works – 9GAG
- 2022[Wayback/Archive] Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic on Twitter: “Nice example of supervised machine learning gone wrong despite no human bias in the training data The problem is bigger in #HR as #AI is often trained with biased data: it’s easier to classify people as “daddy” than “high performers”, “talented”, or “leader” TX @LewisGarrad”
- 2022 [Wayback/Archive] Artur Olesch on Twitter: “#Machinelearning… (author: Whyatt) “
- 2023 [Wayback/Archive] Jilles Groenendijk on Twitter: “…”
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:

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).

GitHub – paolo-rossi/delphi-neon: JSON Serialization library for Delphi
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/30
Like many of the post Delphi 2007 Delphi RTL features, replacements are so much better in functionality and stability.
One of those replacement examples is [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – paolo-rossi/delphi-neon: JSON Serialization library for Delphi
It reminds me of
[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json: Json.NET is a popular high-performance JSON framework for .NET which was way better than the original .NET JSON support. The .NET framework has improved greatly since then. Delphi JSON support hasn’t.

Delphi/C# reencode textfiles: some links as I thought I published sources, but didn’t
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/30
A long time ago (likely around 2009) I remember writing some code to re-encode text files in both Delphi and C#.
Somehow I thought I had published both, but I could only find parts of the C# code back in .NET/C# – converting UTF8 to ASCII (yes, you can loose information with this) using System.Text.Encoding.
So here are some links just in case I ever want to reproduce it in Delphi too (and a reminder to always perform this using TStream derivatives, never use TStrings or derivatives like TStringList for this):
