From Meh to WOW – With 1 “Tiny” Hack! – YouTube – where the comments mention better ways than this convoluted solution
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/03
[Wayback/Archive] From Meh to WOW – With 1 “Tiny” Hack! – YouTube shows an interesting but convoluted solution to solve temperature drift on a cheap Tuya WT410-BH-3A-W thermostat (there are similar models, see below) based on the replacement sensor [Wayback/Archive] WSEN-TIDS Temperature Sensor IC & EV-Kits | Sensors | Würth Elektronik Product Catalog.
Luckily the commenters stepped in and suggest better and easier ways.
On the other hand, the solution is nice to know as it allows plugging in a remote thermostat that sits in a better place to read the temperature while the control bits stay in a place where it is easier to manually adjust.

woo-besluit-broncode-digid-app/NFCService.cs at master · MinBZK/woo-besluit-broncode-digid-app
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/03
This method sparked a lot of discussion on social media:
private static string GetPercentageRounds(double percentage)
It is part of [Wayback/Archive] woo-besluit-broncode-digid-app/NFCService.cs at master · MinBZK/woo-besluit-broncode-digid-app which was published after a request according to the Dutch Open Government Act (WOO: Wet Open Overheid).
Even though it services the iOS app, it is written in C# not Swift despite it being client-side code, but that’s not why it sparked a lot of discussion costing more man-hours than the code is worth.
This is the code:

Naming Files and Directories the Right Way – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/29
I totally agree with the first comment of [Wayback/Archive] Naming Files and Directories the Right Way – YouTube as it holds not just for file management, but for naming anything including software development:

JavaScript unit testing in the browser without Node.js: Getting Started | QUnit
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/29
A cool way to unit-test JavaScript code on the browser side is [Wayback/Archive] Getting Started | QUnit:
To get started with QUnit in the browser, create a simple HTML file called
test.htmland include the following markup:<!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Test Suite</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.css"> <body> <div id="qunit"></div> <div id="qunit-fixture"></div> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.js"></script> </body>That’s all the markup you need to start writing tests. Note that this loads the library from the jQuery CDN.
I was so glad to find QUnit via the below links as I unconsciously wanted such a thing for a very very long time.
You can either run it locally or remotely or from the jQuery CDN as both it
- is a Node.js module so the source files are all available on the jQuery CDN
- it does not require the Node.js to load so it can run from any location you want (that CDN, locally or another on-line location)

Some links for JavaScript tokenizers and syntax highlighters
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/28
In yesterday’s post Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link with the “redirected from” instead of “saved from” I mentioned js-tokenizer for syntax highlighting. When writing that, I didn’t have time to dig deeper, but saved the links for later investigation.
Since I won’t have time to finish writing a complete article on this anytime soon, I decided to just publish the list:

vmstan/gravity-sync: 💫 The easy way to synchronize the DNS configuration of two Pi-hole 5.x instances.
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/28
Interesting: [Wayback/Archive] vmstan/gravity-sync: 💫 The easy way to synchronize the DNS configuration of two Pi-hole 5.x instances.
Reasoning: [Wayback/Archive] Frequent Questions: Why two Pi-hole? · vmstan/gravity-sync Wiki
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] Can PiHole work fine for more than 100k clients? : pihole
- [Wayback/Archive] Gravity Sync, an easy way to keep multiple Pi-hole In-sync – General / Customizing Pi-hole – Pi-hole Userspace
What is better than a Pi-hole blocking ads via DNS on your network? That’s right, Two Pi-hole! But if you have more than one Pi-hole (PH) in your network you’ll want a simple way to keep the list configurations identical between the two. I’ve recently been toiling away at a script to do exactly this, and what started as a few lines lines of bash was shared with some friends, and has grown into what I now call Gravity Sync — which I’d now like to share with you all for your feedback.

Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link with the “redirected from” instead of “saved from”
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/27
This is a follow-up on Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link which can be accessed from multiple URLs, some through redirection:
- https://wiert.wordpress.com/?p=101586
- https://wiert.me/2023/08/15/bookmarklet-for-archive-is-to-navivate-to-the-canonical-link/
You can see the difference in these archived links (the navivate was a typo that I only spotted after the original blog post got published):
I wanted a Bookmarklet to find the last link; the one in the referenced blog post didn’t.

NEW Universal USB Type C Mod to Restore your older devices! – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/22
Nice videos about USB-C receptacles replacement that might fit old mini-USB and sometimes micro-USB ones.
Before applying, check out the tables in USB hardware: Compatibilities – Wikipedia and the table I copied from USB hardware: connector dimensions – Wikipedia to ensure there is enough space to fit the USB-C receptacle in:
