De overhead van PGB in zowel WMO als WLZ door het wantrouwen van de overheid in de burger is enorm. Zo groot zelfs dat het waarschijnlijk de hoeveelheid fraude overstijgt.
Bovendien kan het overgrote deel van de groep die zorg op maat nodig heeft deze niet via natura-zorg in WMO of WLZ krijgen, en al helemaal niet digivaardig genoeg om de PGB bureaucratie aan te kunnen.

Kristian Kohntöpp publishes great DevOps related threads on Twitter. [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @isotopp “I am Kris, and I am 53 now. I learned programming on a Commodore 64 in 1983. My first real programming language (because C64 isn’t one) was 6502 assembler, forwards and backwards. “ is his response, about a year and a half ago, to a request by Julia Evans (@b0rk) that I also saved: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @b0rk on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App.
Her request: [Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “if you’ve been working in computing for > 15 years — are there fundamentals that you learned “on the job” 15 years ago that you think most people aren’t learning on the job today? (I’m thinking about how for example nobody has ever paid me to write C code)” / Twitter followed by [Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “I’m especially interested in topics that are still relevant today (like C programming) but are just harder to pick up at work now than they used to be” / Twitter.
The start of his thread is [Archive] Kris on Twitter: “@b0rk I am Kris, and I am 53 now. I learned programming on a Commodore 64 in 1983. My first real programming language (because C64 isn’t one) was 6502 assembler, forwards and backwards.” / Twitter.
Kristian’s story is very similar to mine, though I sooner stepped up the structured programming language ladder as at high school, I had access to an Apple //e with a Z80 card (yes, the SoftCard), so could run CP/M with Turbo Pascal 1.0 (later 2.0 and 3.0) which I partly described in The calculators that got me into programming (via: calculators : Algorithms for the masses – julian m bucknall), followed by early access at the close by university to PC’s running on 8086 and up. The computer science lab, now called Snellius, but back then known as CRI for Centraal RekenInstituut – is now had an educational deal with IBM, which means they switched from the PC/XT to the PC/AT with a 80286 processor as soon as the latter came out).

A while ago when applying KB5008212* through Windows Update, I got errors. It was odd, as until now, all other upgrades had worked fine.
Often Windows update errors are because of lack of disk space (I try maintain 10 gigabytes or more free space on virtual machines, but that sometimes fails because some software – despite user files being on a different drive – sometimes insists on filling the system drive).
This time, Windows Update would show 0x80073701, of course right after reaching 100%, but actually it was a 0x800f081f in disguise.
My usual modus operandi didn’t solve it (with a retry after every step):
CleanMgr.exe (Disk cleanup)SFC /ScanNow (System File Checker)DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (Deployment Image Servicing and Management)All failed, but in the last step, DISM would consistently show error 0x800f081f.
Even a local DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\Windows\WinSxS /LimitAccess would fail.
Each DISM run will actually log in two log files, and this is the trick to figure out what the next step would be.
Examples from my case:

[Wayback/Archive] mess with dns: a cool site at messwithdns.net that allows you directly mess around with subdomains of messwithdns.com (yup: these are on different top level domains by intent, see [Wayback/Archive] mess with dns: about/FAQ).
Her blog post [Wayback/Archive] New tool: Mess with DNS! has a cool insightful explanation with lots of gifs showing what is going on. The below gif is just one of them:
In addition, it has a cool [Wayback/Archive] mess with dns: DNS dictionary explaining common DNS related terms.
The backend is written in Go, and has a snapshot of the initial source code on github at [Wayback/Archive] jvns/mess-with-dns-backend (mainly so you can file issues or submit ideas).
Oh, and this is a cool video that shows you how DNS works assuming the protocol is phone based: [Archive] Max Meier👨🏻💻🛡⚔️ on Twitter: “DNS Server …” / Twitter.

PolyShell is a script that’s simultaneously valid in Bash, Windows Batch, and PowerShell (i.e. a polyglot).
[Wayback/Archive] llamasoft/polyshell: A Bash/Batch/PowerShell polyglot!
Need to check this out, as often I have scripts that have to go from one language to the other or vice versa.
Maybe it enables one language to bootstrap functionality in the other?
The above polyglot started with a quest to see if I can could include some PowerShell statements in a batch file with two goals:
cmd.exe command prompt, then have it start PowerShell with the same command-line argumentsThe reasoning is simple:
cmd.exe or PowerShell are runningLots of users still live in the cmd.exe world, but PowerShell scripts are way more powerful, and since PowerShell is integrated in Windows since version 7, so having a batch file bootstrap PowerShell still makes sense.
Since my guess was about quoting parameters the right way, my initial search for the link below was [Wayback/Archive] powershell execute statement from batch file quoting – Google Search.
I have dug not yet into this, so there are still…
These should give me a good idea how to implement a polyglot batch file/PowerShell script.
dosps2.cmd:@findstr/v "^@f.*&" "%~f0"|powershell -&goto:eof
Write-Output "Hello World"
Write-Output "Hello some@com & again"
@f and including an & and passes everything else to PowerShell.C:\tmp>dosps2
Hello World
Hello some@com & againbut the second answer got me in the below polyglot search query
@@:: This prolog allows a PowerShell script to be embedded in a .CMD file.
@@:: Any non-PowerShell content must be preceeded by "@@"
@@setlocal
@@set POWERSHELL_BAT_ARGS=%*
@@if defined POWERSHELL_BAT_ARGS set POWERSHELL_BAT_ARGS=%POWERSHELL_BAT_ARGS:"=\"%
@@PowerShell -Command Invoke-Expression $('$args=@(^&{$args} %POWERSHELL_BAT_ARGS%);'+[String]::Join([char]10,$((Get-Content '%~f0') -notmatch '^^@@'))) & goto :EOF
@PowerShell -Command Invoke-Expression $('$args=@(^&{$args} %*);'+[String]::Join([char]10,(Get-Content '%~f0') -notmatch '^^@PowerShell.*EOF$')) & goto :EOF
…
There are quite a few quirks that were leveraged or had to be worked around:
- All three languages have different escape characters:
- Bash: backslash (
\)- Batch: caret (
^)- PowerShell: backtick (
`)- Escape characters work inside Bash and PowerShell strings, but not batch strings.
- Redirects (i.e.
<and>) have special meaning in all three languages unless quoted.- Redirects don’t have to be at the end of a command.
- This is valid Bash/Batch/PowerShell:
echo >output.txt "Hello World"- Batch is the only language without multi-line strings or comments.
- Batch treats
>as a redirect even when it directly touches a string, but PowerShell doesn’t.- Batch script
GOTOstatements only work when run as a script, not when run interactively.- PowerShell’s multi-line comment (
<#) must be immediately preceded by whitespace.- Bash’s here documents may begin anywhere so long as it’s unquoted and not a comment.
…
It also pointed me to the above repository on GitHub, so lets include it here as well:
cmd.exe prompt, and it hides that prompt after finishing. Need to figure out why, and if it can be prevented or undone.hideWindow $script:cmdPid # Prevent user from closing command prompt
Powerglot encodes several kind of scripts using polyglots, for example, offensive powershell scripts. It is not needed a loader to run the payload.
It basically is a Python script that allows you to generate a polyglot from multiple separate scripts.

Yup, web browser bookmarklets, though hardly published about any more, I still like them (and wrote about them before). With a little bit, usually unreadable, JavaScript, they can add magical functionality to your browser.
So here are some links on Twitter related bookmarklets:
javascript:location.href='http://twitter.com/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+'&text='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)
which I reworked into:
javascript:window.open('http://twitter.com/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+'&text='+encodeURIComponent(document.title))
This is the right one:
javascript:(function(){n=getSelection().anchorNode;if(!n){t=document.title;}else{t=n.nodeType===3?n.data:n.innerText;}t='“'+t.trim()+'”\n\n';window.open(`https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=${encodeURIComponent(t)}${document.location.href}`)})();
which I reworked using «» quotes into:
javascript:(function(){n=getSelection().anchorNode;if(!n){t=document.title;}else{t=n.nodeType===3?n.data:n.innerText;}t='«'+t.trim()+'»\n\n';window.open(`https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=${document.location.href}&text=${encodeURIComponent(t)}`)})();
javascript:q = "" + (window.getSelection ? window.getSelection() : document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text); if (!q) q = prompt("Please enter a Twitter handle", ""); if (q!=null) location="http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:https://twitter.com/" + escape(q).replace(/ /g, "+"); void 0
javascript:q = "" + (window.getSelection ? window.getSelection() : document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text); if (!q) q = prompt("Please enter a Twitter handle", ""); if (q!=null) location="https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://twitter.com/" + escape(q).replace(/ /g, "+"); void 0
javascript:q = "" + (window.getSelection ? window.getSelection() : document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text); if (!q) q = prompt("Please enter a Twitter handle", ""); if (q!=null) location="https://archive.md/https://twitter.com/" + escape(q).replace(/ /g, "+"); void 0
javascript:var u = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + window.location.pathname; var l = document.getElementsByTagName("link"); for (var i = 0; i < l.length; i ++) { if (l[i].getAttribute('rel') === 'canonical') {u = l[i].getAttribute('href')}}; window.open('https://twitter.com/search?q=' + encodeURIComponent(u) + '&src=paulmwatson');
All via [Wayback/Archive] twitter bookmarklet – Google Search.

I need to try [Wayback/Archive] Live Share – Visual Studio Marketplace and get a feel for how it is to live share code: is it a way of working that fits me well?
This installs Live Share for Visual Studio Code:
code --install-extension MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare code --install-extension MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-pack
The second extension is for [Wayback/Archive] Live Share Extension Pack – Visual Studio Marketplace, which got released about a year after the first one.
Live Share was introduced in 2017, a period when most of my work was outside the Visual Studio realm, Visual Studio Code was just starting to gain momentum over Atom (which was mul multi-platform editor of choice back then; I wrote about it in a few blog posts), and my then main development environment did not allow live sharing at all. so I missed all this (:
For my reading list:
Uses search queries:
The first query was my initial goal to accomplish, but I rather have the markdown files available off-line, so these did not help:
