A few years back I suddenly had almost all my .nupkg files that Chocolatey uses to track installed software become zero sized.
So I posted a question at [Wayback/Archive] Need help restoring .nupkg files having zero size · Discussion #2765 · chocolatey/choco which got this answer:

[Wayback/Archive] https://plus.google.com/+Chrome/posts/AgtEDd7ngEJ “Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun”
This reminded me so much about the atom spin tables I wrote some Turbo Pascal code for in the late 1980s to help a university professor. Maybe one day, I will find that code back.
(note: I expanded the actual googl link because Google URL Shortener was killed in 2019 with links stopping to work in 2025, see [Wayback/Archive] Google Graveyard – Killed by Google)
The links:

A while ago there was this interesting question [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “do you draw diagrams on paper when debugging? what do they look like? I’d love to see examples if anyone is willing to share” that sparked quite a few diagrams I am still learning from.
Some thumbnails are below, but be sure to read them in the responses to the above tweet in full.

A friend of mine needed to figure out SQL Server deadlocks a while ago.
I hadn’t been doing stuff like this for quite some time, but remembered that unlike old SQL Server days, it had become relatively easy.
These links show you how:

You don’t have to be a web-developer to peek inside the underpinnings of web-pages. In fact what you see is very interesting, for instance from an OSINT perspective.

This is a really cool interactive [Wayback/Archive] nginx playground!
It starts with a default nginx configuration which you can edit and spins up a docker container for each run showing the results of that configuration.
How cool is that to learn how nginx works (:
This is how I found out about it:

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):
An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the
voidoperator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:javascript:(function(){ //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments })();
It means they now have become these:
javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();
javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();

Dit jaar was ik er een paar dagen eerder bij dan vorig jaar: meer rust in mijn hoofd na de verhuizing en een betere planning gemaakt rondom de paardrijvakantie van mijn verstandelijk beperkte broer (waar we altijd zorgen daar in de buurt te zijn zodat we indien nodig snel ter plaatse kunnen handelen).
Het laat heeft er vooral mee te maken dat deze Excel sheet meestal nog een aantal wijzigingen krijgt na de normale deadline van 1 mei. Dus ik begin pas met downloaden de maand voor de echt harde deadline van 1 september.
Eigenlijk is dat heel simpel: vooral zodat je kunt zien hoe je aan deze informatie komt ook al wijzigen de locaties: waar vorig jaar het Excel-bestand voor de belastingaangifte nog bij Google stond, staat het deze keer bij WeTransfer.
Dit jaar zijn de linkjes her en der dus behoorlijk anders: meer dan een simpele vervanging van 2022 door 2023 in de start-link van de eerste Google Search onderaan mijn blog-post.
Let ook op (dit vergat ik vorig jaar te vermelden): dit Excel bestand werkt bij mij niet op Office voor MacOS.
Omdat Computer Idee meestal geen jaartallen in de titels van hun artikelen gebruikt, moet je handmatig de zoekresultaten van Google Search door om te zien welke relevant voor aangifte over afgelopen jaar (in dit geval 2023) is/zijn. Vandaar dat ik hieronder op een aantal plekken jaartellen heb toegevoegd:
