I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Beyond the Cloud: Brooklyn Zelenka on Local-First Software | gotopia.tech
It is a great session with guidance how to kind of go “back to the future” by amending cloud based applications to run locally by means of caching and syncing data. No small feat, but very convenient for end-users to have their – recently regarded as old-fashioned – local running applications back.
There is a – member’s only – video of it as well at [Wayback/Archive] Beyond the Cloud: The Local-First Software Revolution • Brooklyn Zelenka & Julian Wood • GOTO 2025 – YouTube

Some notes on running Windows 11 on virtualised hardware and some on TPM
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/16
Not all virtualised hardware (older hardware usually has died by now) conforms to the Windows 11 minimum specifications.
So here are some links that should be of help to still get Windows 11 running on those:
- [Wayback/Archive] How to Install Windows 11 Without a Microsoft Account | Tom’s Hardware
- [Wayback/Archive] How to Bypass Windows 11’s TPM, CPU and RAM Requirements | Tom’s Hardware
Note that Microsoft also has also created an official registry hack to bypass TPM 2.0 and CPU requirements for an in-place upgrade. However, this method still requires at least TPM 1.2 so, if you have no TPM at all, it’s worthless.
If you insist on running older hardware that has a TPM header on the mainboard:

[Wayback/Archive] What Every Programmer Should Know about How CPUs Work • Matt Godbolt • GOTO 2024 – YouTube
Main takeaways for me:
- CPU pipelines have grown a lot longer than I was aware off
- there are many more internal registers than I was anticipating
- clever ways to convert if statements to non-jumps

“The Pocket Guide to Debugging” zine and Debugging Puzzels by b0rk (Julia Evans)
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/10
I forgot scheduling this post, but it is still very relevant: about the debugging related materials by b0rk (Julia Evans) as they are not limited to just “The Pocket Guide to Debugging”.
It is excellent material to learn at home, work or be used during education.
Before the Elmo* takeover, she mainly used Twitter to post beta material and later the final versions. Easiest queries to find back the Tweets are:
- [Wayback/Archive] from:@b0rk debugging zine – Twitter Search
- [Wayback/Archive] from:@b0rk debugging stragegy – Twitter Search / Twitter
Here are some of links found via the above lists of tweets:
