Burninator Sec: Twitter Removed the Blocked Account Export – Let’s Put it Back!
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/18
Hoping I can still use the Twitter API to perform thousands of requests: [Wayback/Archive] Burninator Sec: Twitter Removed the Blocked Account Export – Let’s Put it Back!
I dug around in the Data Archive and eventually found block.js, which is a JSON object of all the blocked accounts in their ideas. From there you can write a quick Python script to use the Twitter API to resolve all of those IDs to usernames.

Figuring out the threads for processes ran by python
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/17
A while ago I wrote about Figuring out the open network connections for processes ran by python, which explained the TL;DR:
pidof python | tr " " "\n" | xargs -r -n 1 lsof -i -a -e /run/user/1001/gvfs -p
Now I needed thread information as well, so below two examples using ps and pstree. I won’t explain the pidof and xargs stuff here as that was already covered in the above blog-post and I found out that ps already has a built-in way to filter on process name.
The ps solution uses the H, -L or -T argument to show the threads:

Youtube – Extract Meta Data – Amnesty International
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/16
Cool that Amnesty International can do a YouTube [Wayback/Archive] Extract Meta Data (Amnesty International).

I wonder if I can write a Bookmarklet for this (it will likely require an HTTP POST request).

Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/15
This is a follow-up to Bookmarklets for Archive.is and the WayBack Machine to go to the original page.
Archive.is has two kinds of URLs:
- The encoded version is the short form without any meta-information,
- for example archive.is/jnp53
- The canonical version is a long form and has metadata about Archive date and time, and the Archived URL,
- for example 2022.02.22-215053/https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/
- and archive.today/20220222215053/https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/ (which redirects to the non-functioning https://archive.li/20220222215053/https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/)
- and https://archive.is/20220222215053/https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/
You get the first URL both after archiving and when browsing from an archived page to another archived page (if it is not archived you will go the unarchived full page URL).

Gradual Hedy programming language supports many numerals: easier for people not using English or not using Latin based alphabets
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/10
Yesterday, I wrote about Learn to program the gradual way: Welcome to Hedy! and today is the next installment: about numerals.
[Archive] /Fay-lee-nuh/ (@Felienne) | Twitter kind of by surprise discovered that the ten numerical digits of the decimal numeral system used in virtually all programming languages are not the original Arabic forms.
Supporting other forms of decimal numerals will help learning to program when your background is non-English or even using ten systems outside the Arabic numeral realm so common in Latin alphabets. And they are a fun learning exercise for every body too!
Some of the related Tweets on this:
- [Archive] /Fay-lee-nuh/ on Twitter: “You know those things 0 to 9 that we call Arabic numerals?! The actual Arabic language uses different ones* But of course, we support that now too!!! * Fun fact I did not know until embarrassingly recently…”
- [Archive] Hedy on Twitter: “Turns out different languages not only have different words and letters but also…. numbers!! So to make sure Hedy works really well for all languages we need to do a “bit” of work! …”
- [Archive] Hedy on Twitter: “Can’t believe how little I knew about other languages and cultures before all this!”
- [Archive] Hedy on Twitter: “Tadaaaaaa! …”
- [Archive] Hedy on Twitter: “Turns out different languages not only have different words and letters but also…. numbers!! So to make sure Hedy works really well for all languages we need to do a “bit” of work! …”
- [Archive] Peter Bindels 💉💉💉⏳ on Twitter: “@Felienne Unicode actually has like 62 different numbering systems that use some form of a 0-9 symbol. And about 5 that use a non-0-9 system of counting.” (spoiler: Felienne knows)
- [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@dascandy42 @Felienne Looking for numer and number in … shows a few categories that I think are now missing from .. (which is already a huge leap forward)” / Twitter (this blog post has some notes so I might be able to create a pull request later)

Learn to program the gradual way: Welcome to Hedy!
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/09
Cool way to learn programming in a gradual way which works adults just as well as for kids: [Wayback/Archive] Felienne/hedy
Hedy is a gradual programming language to teach children programming. Gradual languages use different language levels, where each level adds new concepts and syntactic complexity. At the end of the Hedy level sequence, kids master a subset of syntactically valid Python.

Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/08
Via Jan Gentleman, I learned
- about the Ctrl+⇧ Shift+⊞ Win+B shortcut on Windows 10 and 11 that restarts starts video driver
- that documentation is in [Wayback/Archive] Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors as
Action 1: Try a Windows Key sequence to wake the screen.
If you’re using a device with a keyboard connected to it, select Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B. If you’re in tablet mode, press the volume-up and volume-down buttons simultaneously three times within two seconds. If Windows is responsive, a short beep will sound and the screen will blink or dim while Windows attempts to refresh the screen.

WIN+CTRL+Shift+B: Tells the computer you’re experiencing a black screen and tries to fix it” / Twitter - [Archive] Jen Gentleman 🌺 on Twitter: “@ThomasBurkhartB It’s in the black screen documentation: https://…” / Twitter
Later I found out it also is in Table of keyboard shortcuts – Wikipedia: General shortcuts
Restart Video Driver Windows 10: Ctrl+⇧ Shift+⊞ Win+B[2][3]
Also I learned how people order the modifier keys is varying.

I missed that this has become way easier: Searching code – GitHub Docs
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/02
For my link archive, the table of contents of [Wayback/Archive/Archive] Searching code – GitHub Docs:
Limitations apply:
Due to the complexity of searching code, there are some restrictions on how searches are performed:
- You must be signed into a user account on GitHub to search for code across all public repositories.
- Code in forks is only searchable if the fork has more stars than the parent repository. Forks with fewer stars than the parent repository are not indexed for code search. To include forks with more stars than their parent in the search results, you will need to add
fork:trueorfork:onlyto your query. For more information, see “Searching in forks.”- Only the default branch is indexed for code search.
- Only files smaller than 384 KB are searchable.
- Only repositories with fewer than 500,000 files are searchable.
- Only repositories that have had activity or have been returned in search results in the last year are searchable.
- Except with
filenamesearches, you must always include at least one search term when searching source code. For example, searching forlanguage:javascriptis not valid, whileamazing language:javascriptis.- At most, search results can show two fragments from the same file, but there may be more results within the file.
- You can’t use the following wildcard characters as part of your search query:
. , : ; / \ ` ' " = * ! ? # $ & + ^ | ~ < > ( ) { } [ ] @. The search will simply ignore these symbols.
There is a truckload of languages supported, though the yaml format of the list is not really human readable: [Wayback/Archive] linguist/languages.yml at master · github/linguist
I’ll try this and see if it works better than Google Search.
Via:
- [Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “this is a cool idea and I should remember to do it more”
- [Archive] Reilly Wood on Twitter: “@b0rk Finding obscure code examples is super easy now! GitHub search can quickly find working code using virtually any API/package/protocol – I use it for that multiple times/week”
- [Archive] Reilly Wood on Twitter: “@jfarmer @b0rk Usually start with known identifiers (function names, package names, whatever) and then use filename/extension/language filters to whittle down the results”
