Interesting project at [Wayback] Open Source Insights
Open Source Insights is an experimental project by Google.
Hopefully by now it is supporting more than just npm/golang/maven and by the time it sunsets, other projects take over.
The introduction was some 9 months ago: [Wayback] Introducing the Open Source Insights Project | Google Open Source Blog

TL;DR:
- Windows has
CON: which is an equivalent for /dev/tty
- Windows has no equivalent for
/dev/stdout (the standard output stream)
- There is a C#
PipeServer.cs proof-of-concept that allows to simulate /dev/stdout through a temporary named pipe
- Windows pipe names start with
\\.\pipe\ for names on the local machine
- The above for
/dev/stdout on Windows also holds for /dev/stdin (the standard input stream)
All via [Wayback] pipe – Windows how to redirect file parameter to stdout? (Windows equivalent of /dev/stdout) – Super User.

[Wayback] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “”Too special” password character password woos at @HORNBACH_NL : [ Het wachtwoord moet minstens acht tekens lang zijn, en minstens een getal en een letter (a-zA-Z) bevatten. De volgende speciale tekens zijn toegestaan: !”#$%&'()*+,.:;?@_|} ] 1/”
I wonder what kind of parser they use, as these printable special ASCII characters are forbidden:
- \-/[\]^`{~
- space (0x20)
- tab (0x9)
- line feed (0xa)
- carriage return (0xb
- vertical tab (0xb)
- form feed (0xc)
Seems no JSON or SQL to me: there I would expect other limitations.
What would break if you use them in other fields or pass them in an HTML POST-request?
I mean: these passwords should be salted and hashed immediately when the HTML-POST request is received, so certainly they would not be stored somewhere or passed many layers into code, right?
Oh, in order to activate an account there, you need to accept some 40+ A4 sized pages of legal stuff. Brave Dutch judge that will put these all in favour of Hornbach.

Ongeveer 9 maanden na dit ongeval in 2019 kreeg ik diagnose endeldarmkanker die later ook nog bleek uitgezaaid. De behandelingen duurden ruim een jaar en daar ben ik nog steeds van aan het herstellen.
Langzaam krijg ik meer energie en uithoudingsvermogen en ben ik ook de kladversies van wat er in mijn blog archief staat bij te werken. Tijd dus om deze te publiceren.

I started my post ESXi: editing /etc/vmware/hostd/vmInventory.xml to fix the datastore UUID for unavailable VMs with
In case I ever need this on ESXi: Insights into the VMware inventory files (vmAutoStart.xml and vmInventory.xml on ESXi; inventory.vmls on VMware Workstation/Player)
Since almost all of my blog is about things I bumped into in real life, this post was a preparation because I kind of expected this to indeed happen, and it did.
Below are the screenshots and steps I took. Of course it is an N=1 experience, so your situation might differ, but I tried to be thorough and not miss any steps.

Sometimes it is easier to have current and public CA signed TLS certificates for internal servers than to setup and maintain an internal CA and register it on all affected browsers (including mobile phones).
One of my reasons to investigate this is that Chrome refuses to save credentials on servers that have no verifiable TLS certificate, see my post Some links on Chrome not prompting to save passwords (when Firefox and Safari do) about a week ago.
Below are some links for my link archive that hopefully will allow me to do this with Let’s Encrypt (msot via [Wayback/Archive] letsencrypt for internal servers – Google Search):

Some time into the waiting for a new ABS/DSC computer to arrive for my E46, I heard beeping while driving slowly (it would start when standing still and disappear when driving around 20 km/h).
This was odd, as I didn’t touch anything besides the steering wheel or the gas and break pedals.
Nothing in the instrument cluster changed either, so that put me in the wrong direction.
When the ABS/DSC computer is broken, the cluster looks like this:

Decades I thought it was easy:

Dutch |
German |
Period |
| Morning |
Morgen/Ochtend |
Morgen |
06:00-12:00 |
| Afternoon |
Middag |
Mittag |
12:00-18:00 |
| Evening |
Avond |
Abend |
18:00-00:00 |
| Night |
Nacht |
Nacht |
00:00-06:00 |
Well, at least in Germany they add more periods during the day (give or take a few hours):
And in English, the starting and ending times are way more flexible than in the tables above:
