[Wayback/Archive] Show HN: Live-updating version of the ‘What a week, huh?’ meme | Hacker News
As a fun evening project, I made a live-updating version of the ‘What a week, huh?’ meme (based on a panel from The Adventures of Tintin comics [1]).
There’s a page for every timeframe:

It was easy to edit the HTML to change the message and CSS for the text dimensions, see the image on the right.
MacOS users will likely recognise the font as it is the Marker Felt font which is included by default on MacOS.
And it would be cool to alter the speech bubbles to be more like the ones Hergé used, see this comment:

Every now and then, documentation in source code requires an ASCII table. Sometimes table cells are spanning multiple rows or/and column.
TL;DR: The tools I tried did not support that, so manual labour is still needed.

Forgot to schedule this one when I saw it two weeks ago: [Wayback/Archive] Sweep the Strait.
Apart from demonstrating that Trump never had a plan, does not and will not have a plan, it is cool to see Minesweeper developed in JavaScript, HTML and CSS mapped with some geodata onto a real map of the Strait of Hormuz.
Cool idea!
It has a function Windows 3.x UI with functional menu (Game -> New Game; Help -> How to Play)
At first, I thought the original developer is this:
However, in fact the developer is:

For Some links on getting the most recent defragmentation time of a Windows volume I needed to copy back and forth some XML code back and forth between my ARM MacBook Pro to a remote Windows machine accessing via the Microsoft Windows App (the app formerly known as Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac).
The problem with that is the copying would lose line breaks, which for XML meaning is no problem, but for human understandability while editing the XML in the Event View query dialog was.
So I decided to go to the “Code” view in my Classic WordPress editor (did I ever tell you much I dislike – especially the accessibility of – the not so new but still haughty named Gutenberg editor?), copied the HTML encoded form and wanted to convert it to unencoded XML text.
Well, here I got to naming confusion land, on which I will talk further below, but first two of the potential solutions:

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Enabling TRIM on an external SSD on a Raspberry Pi | Jeff Geerling
Printing to large format paper or displaying it on large screens introduces a lot of whitespace resulting in the listings having horizontal scrollbars. That was easier to circumvent in CSS than I initially thought, so I wrote [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App:

This was the easiest tool to remove HTML from select tags while keeping line breaks: [Wayback/Archive] Online HTML Stripper. Remove HTML and formatting from text.
Especially the client-side on-line tools I tried failed that option:
This just does not work at all for me: [Wayback/Archive] HTML Cleaner (cannot paste HTML text: needs to paste formatted text which does not work with select elements).
Could I have done this on a command-line? Of course, but I don’t need it often enough to warrant investigating and remembering how to do that in an efficient manner.
Queries:

From 12ft – Wikipedia:
On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.
It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):

Note that for removing the bullet-type, it does not matter if it is an ordered or unordered list.
Via [Wayback/Archive] html list type none – Google Search.

Nog niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?
Edit 20260313: redirect toegevoegd voor SEO, en sectie over redirect-checker.
Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.
Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.
Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.
De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
- …
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
- …
- ³
Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:
Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:
