I’m not alone in feeling hated by printers and multifunctionals.
I had already seen this 2019 comic [Archive.is] System32Comics on Twitter: “Printers nowadays… “ quite a while ago:
- User: Hey printer, can you please print this document?
- Printer: Low on Cyan
- User: Don’t worry, it’s just a black and white text
- Printer: No fuck you, low on Cyan
Printers and the drivers shipped by manufacturers hate me so much, that I now have the habit of using older printers which are better supported out-of-the-box by modern operating systems, hence this tweet:
[Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “I try to avoid using the software provided by the printer manufacturer. Usually stock PCL or PostScript drivers work fine.… “
Thanks to [Archive.is] Matt Schultz 😷 on Twitter: “Seems about right… … “, I found out that early 2021 Stevie Martin came along with this hilarious video [Archive.is] “when you’re trying to print something”:
And of course the System32Comics version was commented immediately: [Archive.is] Mr. Dubi and Dr. Kan on Twitter: “… “ (:
But also a few other nice comments were made that I had not known of before:
Me: I want to scan something
Printer: Can’t, i’m out of Magenta ink
Me: But i only need a scan… and i’m pretty sure i’ve never used any shade of red on my printed documents :/
Printer: I’m out of Magenta… Also my fixed IP address is 169.25.41.1/24 right?
Me: *cry internally*
“Hey printer/scanner scan this pager for me.
Nah, no ink.
But it’s just scanning a do…
I SAID LOW ON INK!!
I just to install the drivers.”
I got at that thread because of [Archive.is] Troy Hunt on Twitter: “No? Yes? The UX in this @Epson printer is undoubtedly one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Just insane. (Near new ET-16600 FWIW.)… :

[Archive1/Archive2] BlackRoomSec had a great Twitter thread on death cyber plan.
Everyone, including me, should work on such plan. Their motivation to publish it started with another thread: [Archive] BlackRoomSec on Twitter: “I just unlocked a pc of a deceased person for his daughter using clues he left in a password book and a sticker on the laptop. This is better than the time I guessed Esco’s pin. PLEASE make a death cyber plan. She was hysterical crying in my arms. Happy to help but this guts me😟”.
The actual thread then started with [Archive] BlackRoomSec on Twitter: “Mine starts with a stop sign that says DO NOT SHUT OFF MY PHONE 2nd page there is a box where my Yubikey is taped and the logo which is used throughout. 3rd is a picture of my cell lock pattern drawn out.”.
The full thread is at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @blackroomsec on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App and I got OK to quote it: [Archive] BlackRoomSec on Twitter: “@jpluimers Yes🙂” / Twitter
So here is the full quote:

[Wayback/Archive] Over mijn dak | Wat je allemaal over je heen krijgt
Wij controleren elke dag de vluchten van de dag ervoor aan de hand van jouw instellingen. Wanneer jouw grenswaarden zijn overschreden sturen wij je een e-mail met vluchtinformatie en optioneel sturen wij een klacht namens jou naar bezoekbas.nl (BAS) gebaseerd op deze informatie. Wanneer jouw klacht naar BAS is verstuurd krijg je nog een e-mail. Wij sturen maximaal 1 klacht per dag, deze klacht kan meerdere hinderperiodes bevatten voor die dag.
Onze data wordt verzameld aan de hand van ADS-B transponders in vliegtuigen, ongeveer 80% van alle vliegtuigen zijn hiermee uitgerust.
[Wayback/Archive] Meld vliegherrie! | Eindelijk openheid over vliegtuigoverlast
De site is een aanvulling op de reguliere sites voor klachten over vliegverkeer die worden beheerd door de luchtvaartindustrie zelf of door overheidsorganen die weinig prioriteit geven aan de meldingen.
Automatisch instellen voor zowel BAS als vliegherrie.nl gaat als volgt:
https://meldingen-bezoekbas.nl/?p=login&id=######&code=################################” (de waarde van id bestaat uit 7 cijfers, en die van code uit 32 karakters)https://vliegherrie.nl/user/reset/#####/##########/#####################-##-########“daarmee vertrouw je “Over mijn dak” je BAS wachtwoord toe: hou dat in je achterhoofd of je dat een fijn idee vindt
gebruik hier een ander wachtwoord dan dat in A. of B.!
Wanneer er nu meer dan 4 vliegtuigen in 60 minuten lager dan 800 meter over komen krijg je een e-mail dat er bij zowel BAS als vliegherrie.nl een melding voor je aangemaakt is. Dit kun je op deze links conroleren:
De informatie over een bestaand account heb ik van [Wayback/Archive] Over mijn dak | Account activeren voor nieuwe website Bewonders Aanspreekpunt Schiphol.
Gerelateerd: Schiphol automatisch melden klachten ging helaas niet door.

Thread to remember that started with [Archive] Jesse J. Anderson • ADHD Creative on Twitter: “People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter. My desk is in a permanent state of chaos. Piles of books, papers, index cards, and random other things I don’t want to forget.” / Twitter
I bumped into it via [Archive] Ilse on Twitter: “Ja! Als ik het niet zie, denk ik er niet aan.” / Twitter (thanks!).
I saved the thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jessejanderson on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App and I am quoting it in full as it is so much me, highlighting it the most important bits for me:
People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter.
My desk is in a permanent state of chaos.
Piles of books, papers, index cards, and random other things I don’t want to forget.
Other ADHDers might keep a clean desk, but use their car as an extra closet and storage facility.Why is this so common for people with ADHD?
It’s actually a form of self-preservation.
We often forget things we can’t see.Instinctively, we know this.
When things are truly put away—hidden in the depths of a box or drawer—we know they disappear from our brains entirely.
This is why planners rarely work for people with ADHD.The second we close the cover, we forget everything inside.
Without a routine in place, we might never remember to open it again.
When I was younger, sometimes my mom would be so fed up with my room she would clean it herself.I _hated_ when she did this!
“How will I ever find anything?!”
When things are “a mess”, they are out in the open and I can use them as a physical memory palace—the visual of their environmental placement reminds me where things are.It may look like a mess, but I can find exactly what I’m looking for.
This extends beyond just knick-knacks on a desk.Sometimes a work responsibility will fall out of your brain.
You were doing it consistently and one day—for some unknown reason—you forgot to do it.
It’s no longer part of your environment, your routine.
When this happens, you know you’ll _never_ remember this thing again until something specifically reminds you.As if it’s fallen into one of those boxes or drawers you never remember to open.
This can happen with people too.If you haven’t seen someone recently, you might forget they exist entirely.
This can add a lot of stress to personal and family relationships.
People are offended and fail to understand.

Related to my earlier post Finding a new energy supplier as the old one terminated our contract without notifying us:
The reason is that Liander confirmed to us that the energy contract on our address had been changed to be on someone else’s name, but refused to tell us any of this:
We followed up via our legal insurance to get this solved, after instructed by them to file reports through the above channels.

Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).
The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

Met name met een onzichtbare handicapt, maar ook met een zichtbare handicap, kan het handig zijn om een pasje te overhandigen of een lan yard te dragen als je hulp of noden hebt.
Ze zijn een beetje vergelijkbaar met (meest voor vrouwen) aan de bar vragen om een “Angel shot” of “is Angela er ook” om je uit noodsituaties te helpen.
