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.

Hopelijk lukt dit iemand van de grond te krijgen, maar het zal wel stranden in regelgeving (net als GPT-NL wat tegen licentieproblemen aan loopt¹ en GEITje – wat vanwege licentieproblemen uit de lucht gehaald is ²) [Wayback/Archive] Mailen en communiceren zonder Musk en Trump: Cloud Kootwijk – Bert Hubert’s writings.
Via onder meer:
Mailen en communiceren zonder Musk en Trump: Cloud Kootwijk – @bert_hubert
“Nu in 2025 heeft Europa, Nederland en specifiek de Nederlandse overheid, besloten om al z’n communicatie en bestandsverwerking via Amerikaanse servers te laten lopen, gepaaid door slappe en ongeloofwaardige beloftes dat het wel goedkomt. Dat de Amerikaanse computers in de EU zouden staan doet namelijk niets voor de beschikbaarheid en vertrouwelijkheid.”
Prima stuk van @bert_hubert ” Maar het is een ONUITSTAANBARE gedachte dat onze overheid, politie, defensie, ziekenhuizen en zorg binnenkort totaal niet meer met elkaar kunnen communiceren zonder Amerikaans goedvinden! Of zonder dat ze meelezen in onze (belasting)bestanden en berichten, overigens.”

I’m anxious to see how some 2.5 years after the introduction, Stable Diffusion has evolved.
By then, you could run it either on-line at for instance [Wayback/Archive] Stable Diffusion – a Hugging Face Space by stabilityai:
Stable Diffusion DemoStable Diffusion is a state of the art text-to-image model that generates images from text.
or run it yourself if your GPU was powerful enough by using the base repository [Wayback/Archive] CompVis/stable-diffusion or one of the many forks: [Wayback/Archive] Forks · CompVis/stable-diffusion (back then some 1.4k!)
The original announcement was [Wayback/Archive] Stable Diffusion Public Release — Stability.Ai.

[WaybackSave/Archive] Jürgen Schmidhuber on X: “DeepSeek [1] uses elements of the 2015 reinforcement learning prompt engineer [2] and its 2018 refinement [3] which collapses the RL machine and world model of [2] into a single net through the neural net distillation procedure of 1991 [4]: a distilled chain of thought system. …”

[Wayback/Archive] dodyg/practical-aspnetcore: Practical samples of ASP.NET Core 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 projects you can use. Readme contains explanations on all projects.
By the time you read this, all examples should have been rewritten to use minimal API footprint so it easier to get just the essentials from each example.
Via [Wayback/Archive] dodyg on Twitter: “I just realized this repo has about around 1500 samples in total because for each version of ASP.NET Core the samples get modified in some ways beyond project increment, e.g for .NET 6, all samples gets rewritten to use minimal API.”

Over the years, WordPress started to beautify more and more text thereby malforming many (read thousands) of my older blog posts.
An example is this:
--jeroen
is now rendered as
–jeroen
The two hypen-minus signs or -- have become a en-dash or –, not even an em-dash or — that is is double the width of an en-dash.
So after figuring out the cause, I asked if one could change it for a WordPress.com blog backed by a premium account: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Hi @wordpressdotcom, how do I globally disable wptexturize for a paid wiert.wordpress.com blog (it has Premium subscription)? Over the years, it has malformed more and more of my text which I don’t want (as it is way too much work to re-visit thousands of blog posts).”
Unbelievably, the answer is no!
So WordPress.com mandatorily changes the display of all your old Premium blog posts and the only solution they offer is to upgrade for another USD ~17 per month to disable it.

Retro computing is wildly popular, and with the rise of low cost single-board computers (SBCs for short), both Apple //e and ][+ emulators plus extension cards have proliferated, based on Raspberry Pi (or even their RP2040 microcontroller based Pico), ESP32 or predecessor ESP8266 microcontrollers and others.
Some links for my archive:

Wow, 60 years after her birth, the original ELIZA Chatbot got resurrected after a re-discovered paper version ¹ of the SLIP and MAD based source code was found in the Joseph Weizenbaum archives: [Wayback/Archive] ELIZAGEN – ELIZA Reanimated
Back in 1965, ELIZA ran on top of CTSS on an IBM 7094. Nowadays, few of that hardware is still running, but luckily there are emulators.
Back in the days, a large percentage people chatting with ELIZA thought she was a real person. With the dwindling language proficiency, the rise in believe in alternative facts, and THE RISE OF USE IN ALL CAPS, likely that percentage has increased.
Steps to get started with ELIZA are at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – rupertl/eliza-ctss: The original ELIZA on an emulated CTSS environment, which carefully got assembled over the course of the last 2 months.
If you want to know about the process, be sure to read the

I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed a while ago. The highlights:
@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy.@example.com@web.brid.gy.@ap.brid.gy.example.com.web.brid.gy.Source is written in Python and HTML. It is available from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy-fed: 🌉 A bridge between decentralized social network protocols.
The blog post re-introducing it: [Wayback/Archive] Re-introducing Bridgy Fed | snarfed.org.
There is docs too: [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed: docs
Bridgy Fed is a kind of a spin-off from the longer existing [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy which has documentation at [Wayback/Archive] About – Bridgy and source code at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy: 📣 Connects your web site to social media. Likes, retweets, mentions, cross-posting, and more….
Via [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy) — Bluesky who’s primary social media presence is at [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica@mathstodon.xyz) – Mathstodon.
I created my [Wayback/Archive] wiert.me profile – Bridgy Fed which resulted in these two entities (that by the time you read this should have some updates):
