Any YouTube ID is a YouTube ID which means you can use any shorts ID and music ID to watch as a YouTube URL (adding functionality shorts and music URLs lack)
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/24
YouTube has diversified its content separating out YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.
The main YouTube viewing experience has a few advantages over the other two experiences:
- content can be monetised
- content can arranged into lists (including Watch Later)
- auto-play can be turned off
All below links have the same ID, but the ones with checkmarks can use all the above features whereas the ones with crosses cannot.

XKCD to ExplainXKCD Bookmarklet
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/21
Sometimes the XKCD episodes are hard to get, so I wanted a Bookmarklet to navigate to [Wayback/Archive] explain xkcd.
Here is the regular expression to change the domain name part if it matches: [Wayback/Archive] regex101: build, test, and debug regex: VI34VW with this generated sed code:

A truckload of links which I need for some Bookmarklets work
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/31
A while ago, browser tabs were overflowing again so I first mad the list of links with quotes below, then discovered there is a template for many browser tabs open at [Wayback/Archive] To many browser tabs open Meme Generator – Imgflip
One of the reasons is that the WordPress “Press This” bookmarklet is very slow and also flaky at escaping HTML (for instance the below html – Why shouldn’t &apos; be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow sometimes becomes html – Why shouldn’t <code>'</code> be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow in [Wayback/Archive] Press This – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org especially when running it from Archive Today archived pages).
So here we go: Read the rest of this entry »

Markdown has been the Internet’s lingua franca for documentation. Microsoft finally the documentation format with markitdown: Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown.
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/17
Finally an easier way to convert Office documents (and other formats) to markdown: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – microsoft/markitdown: Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown. (after Google added a Markdown export feature to Google Docs about half a year ago, and basic Markdown formatting about 2 years ago – see below):
There are quite a few dependencies in [Wayback/Archive] markitdown/pyproject.toml at main · microsoft/markitdown · GitHub, so be prepared for that.
Supported formats (added links for clarity):
The MarkItDown library is a utility tool for converting various files to Markdown (e.g., for indexing, text analysis, etc.)It presently supports:
Google was first though:
- [Wayback/Archive] Google Workspace Updates: Compose with Markdown in Google Docs on web
- [Wayback/Archive] Google Workspace Updates: Import and export Markdown in Google Docs
There is speculation on why Microsoft introduced it just now ranging from “they need it for AI training” to “just late to the game”. I’m with the latter. Apple is even later, so if you want to convert Apple Notes to markdown, then you can use [Wayback/Archive] Import from Apple Notes – Obsidian Help.

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ” by tzwickl · Pull Request #768 · sivel/speedtest-cli
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/22
Somehow this post missed the schedule and for a long time I forgot to properly checked for “missed schedule” posts.
Back in 2021, suddenly systems with speedtest-cli threw a [Wayback/Archive] ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ” by tzwickl · Pull Request #768 · sivel/speedtest-cli after accessing the speedtest.net servers.
Around 7-8 April, 2021 the speedtest.net/speedtest-config.php XML configuration suddenly had changed the value for the XPath expression /settings/server-config/@ignoreids from being a list of integers into empty, see the archived files below.

Bookmarklet idea: find Wikipedia entry for currently selected text, then (when editing in WordPress) make the selected text link to it
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/05
Two stage bookmarklet idea (so if will be easier to create this in an agile fashion):
- create a bookmarklet that looks up the currently selected text in Wikipedia (or another source)
- modify the current selection to link to that Wikipedia entry (convenient when editing blog posts)
Hopefully these links will help me getting started:
