Even een reminder aan mezelf, omwat we aan Remeha Calenta Ace hebben en het niet helemaal duidelijk is of deze bij de vorige bewoners echt goed op het huis is ingeregeld.
Het nadeel van Remeha is dat ze volstrekt chaotisch onduidelijke handleidinge hebben waar het lastig is essentiele instellingen in terug te vinden: er zijn veel te veel instellingen met allemaal onduidelijke nummering waarbij hele reeksen nummers worden overgeslagen.
De Remeha Calenta Ace serie is inmidels zo’n 7 jaar in productie.

Voor mijn link archief: KPN telefooncentrales, waarvan een paar waar familie of ik een aansluiting had:
[Wayback/Archive] Wijkcentrales – VVDSL.robinflikkema.nl
Deze hadden Mojibake met de generic replacement character (“�”):
Let op: de [Wayback/Archive] fourstack KPN UI (toenmalig gebouwd door [Wayback/Archive] FourStack) is sinds 2021 uit de lucht, zie [WaybackSave/ArchiveBad] FPI Fourstack Snelheid DSL – Internet en hosting – GoT , dus de gegevens worden niet meer bijgewerkt.

I wrote about Sequoiaview in depth in SequoiaView Homepage, made some research notes in “cushion treemap” delphi – Google Search and touched it slightly in A choco install list.
I never heard back from my request for Sequoiaview source code, and given ever increasing local storage media sizes, the speed of it now has become an issue, so I started looking to see if more alternatives have appeared and what sets them apart.
TL;DR
- There is the open source WinDirStat that runs as non-admin and is about as slow as Sequoiaview
- There is the closed source but free for personal use WizTree that requires admin elevation and is much faster than Sequoiaview and WinDirStat
Neither of them allow for a view that is cushion treemap only.
The reason that WizTree is fast is that it directly uses the NTFS MFT (Master File Table) to read the information from. This requires elevated permissions.
This is the same mechanism used by the Everything search tool, but unlike Everything, WizTree:

I originally searched for the tables below to see if I could get the visualisations of TeX and LaTeX right for infinite loop in “LaTeX: A Document Preparation System” by Leslie Lamport, printed in 1994..
Didn’t work, neither did using plain html super and subscript. The only thing that worked was using CSS styles (I chose to embed them, as separate CSS files are a huge premium over the WordPress plan), which also preserves actual meaning for screen readers:

Inn de basis een door mijn opa gebouwde opwindbare (3 gewichten) Warmink Wuba triple chime – Westminster, St. Michael, Whittington clock.
Die liep nauwelijks meer, en sloeg zowel geen melodie meer, maar ook geen uursignaal meer.
Hieronder links die me hielpen met uitzoeken wat er van dit merk nog bestond en kennis aanwezig is.

[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “LOL, just saw @isotopp changed…” – Mastodon
LOL, just saw @isotopp changed his name to Köhntopp
Well done, Kris. Well done.

( the history of the iso isotopp handle is so great, that I was glad I captured it from Twitter before that content got deleted; it is now at https://wiert.me/2022/06/09/how-isotopp-became-the-online-handle-of-kristian-kohntopp/ )
This Vercel app cannot be archived in the Wayback Machine properly as it then returns a HTTP 500. The Archive.is save succeeded though: [Wayback/Archive] https://ftfy.vercel.app/?s=ö:

I wish I had bumped into this page a way sooner as it contains most if not all the keyboard symbols I ever looked for: [Wayback/Archive] Unicode: Keyboard Symbols ⌘ ↵ ⌫
The page contains a lot more than just this diagram (which already is a great start):
⎋
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = ⌫ ⎀ ⤒ ⇞
⇥ Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ] \ ⌦ ⤓ ⇟

⇧ Z X C V B N M , . / ⇧ ↑

🌐 ⌃ ⌥ ⌘
Some more symbols are at these pages:

For my link archive (please check the page as by now the table might have changed from what I quote below) [Wayback/Archive] Unicode spaces and the WordPress classic editor might have mangled it.
I like the table as it embeds the spaces between foo and bar so it easy to copy paste them to code or documentation.

A while ago, I found the “creëer” mojibake in a Dutch page on the IKEA site.
They were not alone to make this mistake which is easily explained using [Wayback/Archive] ftfy:
>>> ftfy.fix_and_explain("creëer")
ExplainedText(text='creëer', explanation=[('encode', 'latin-1'), ('decode', 'utf-8')])
(you can run this on-line at [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to Python.org: interactive shell, see my post The things I didn’t notice during cancer survival: ftfy 6.0 and more versions got released during my recovery on how to do this)
So the text is easily fixed:
