It’s almost
Goal of the current post amend the above posts with information so I can later write a bookmarklet or web-page with JavaScript that – from a x.com or twitter.com – tweet URL can get the JSON, then the images and/or videos in all sizes, then generate a web-page from it for Wayback Machine archival.

I unconsciously wanted a tool like this for a long time, and was glad I finally searched for it:
A keyboard logging and presentation utility for presentations, screencasts, and to help you become a better keyboard user.
[Wayback/Archive] Code52/carnac: A utility to give some insight into how you use your keyboard
The first time I saw something similar was in the Delphi days where it was part of a plugin for CodeRush in Delphi (think Delphi 5-6 era), the famous developer productivity tool by Mark Miller that later got rewritten for Visual Studio and became part of DevExpress.
So I searched for [Wayback/Archive] windows show keystrokes – Google Search which found [Wayback/Archive] How to show keystrokes on Windows 10 which in turn mentioned a fork of Carnac.

Every now and then you bump into an interesting post on a workflow you already have but did not know the name for.
This time it is [Wayback/Archive] Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method which has this nice definition:
A Zettelkasten is a personal tool for thinking and writing. It has hypertextual features to make a web of thought possible. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection.
I thought a bit about it and it feels quite a bit like this blog: the ~5k draft posts at the time of writing are similar to a Zettelkasten: short notes with title and links either internally or externally.
These drafts are private, but the actual blog posts are either public (already published: some 8k at the time of writing) or queued for publication (some 2 years at the time of writing).

[Wayback/Archive] macos – How can I update everything installed through Homebrew after OSX upgrade? – Ask Different
A
Use the command brew upgrade in the terminal to update all of the packages.
C
brew upgrade --cask not updated my excited packages like Flutter. using brew upgrade --g will be preferred as mentioned in Manpage : –g, –greedy: Also include outdated casks with auto_updates true or version :latest. –greedy-latest: Also include outdated casks including those with version :latest. –greedy-auto-updates: Also include outdated casks including those with auto_updates true.
C
Casks are not upgraded because of their internal auto-update capabilities and the conflict in these two auto-update mechanisms. See more details on docs.brew.sh/…
So if you want to upgrade casks as well, then run this (but read the warnings below first):

For my reading list (will likely be extended in the future) as covariance and especially contravariance often give me headaches (even after all these years of C#):

A lot of forum software (not just on retro computing or history) embed image smileys in their messages translated from text-smileys.
It seems they missed that a lot of them have made their way into Unicode, making it not just easier to display but also a lot easier for visually impaired.
So, please software developers, use the Unicode characters whenever possible.
Here is a good start

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Payload Box.
It has lots of examples on payloads for various kinds of injections that are excellent teaching material.
Covered are Cross Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection, Server Side Template Injection, RFI/LFI, Command Injection, CSV Injection, Directory, Open Redirect and XML External Entity (XXE) Injection.
Got there when inspired by:
