For my link archive (as I wish this could be part of a Bookmarklet): the --get-url option of youtube-dl gets you the video URL of a Tweet
# youtube-dl --get-url https://twitter.com/Gert_van_Dijk/status/1548997307017871362 https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1548997270577840133/pu/vid/320x320/C20GFtInFGjBiY9k.mp4?tag=12

A few years back I suddenly had almost all my .nupkg files that Chocolatey uses to track installed software become zero sized.
So I posted a question at [Wayback/Archive] Need help restoring .nupkg files having zero size · Discussion #2765 · chocolatey/choco which got this answer:

[Wayback/Archive] https://plus.google.com/+Chrome/posts/AgtEDd7ngEJ “Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun”
This reminded me so much about the atom spin tables I wrote some Turbo Pascal code for in the late 1980s to help a university professor. Maybe one day, I will find that code back.
(note: I expanded the actual googl link because Google URL Shortener was killed in 2019 with links stopping to work in 2025, see [Wayback/Archive] Google Graveyard – Killed by Google)
The links:

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):
An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the
voidoperator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:javascript:(function(){ //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments })();
It means they now have become these:
javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();
javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();

Last year I posted about Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs.
It depended on HighlanderComments to exist in order for getting its .connectURL which contains the canonical blog post URL (i.e. from https://wiert.me it obtains https://wiert.wordpress.com).
Nowadays HighlanderComments does not always exist, but in that case <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="https://wiert.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd"> does exist.
Its’ href value can be obtained by querying document.querySelector('link[rel="EditURI"]').href and truncate it, so I made some conditional code that first tries the HighlanderComments and defers code obtaining it from the link element I mentioned above.
I also added proper Bookmarklet wrappers so the function results don’t leak to the console or Browser (Firefox really does not like Bookmarklets without this wrapper).
javascript:(function(){
//Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();
Firefox also dislikes pasting code into the development console.
Code:

At the time of writing a lot of this might be more recent, but for quite some time codepoints.net had not been updated with code point information newer Unicode releases.
Basically it was stuck at Unicode version 8.0 with some 120k glyphs. At the time of writing Unicode version 15.0 is in beta and the difference between 15.0 and 8.0 is some 24k glyphs.
So I had a quick twitter chat with the author and jotted down the links in this blog post so I won’t forget them.
There I learned it was open source (I think it is the only Unicode codepoint site that is).
