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:

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.”
