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 void operator 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:
-
Archive.is: navigate canonical URL
javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();
-
Archive.is: prompt canonical URL
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).
Here it goes:

I love the new title-text for the 2018 “Clippy” picture at [Wayback/Archive] CrazyMyra: “After AI took his job as an online assistant, Mr Clippy was obliged to seek work in other sectors…” – beige.party

A few years ago I asked for some help figuring out what to whitelist so that winget can update its sources and install packages.
This is how I found out.

Earlier this week there were only three sponsors for [Wayback/Archive] sebres (Sergey G. Brester) · GitHub.
You might think “Why is this important?”.
Sergey is the single maintainer of fail2ban, the open source project that protects countless (likely a majority) of public facing servers facing on the Internet.
Please don’t let fail2ban become another XZ Utils and support Sergey: we don’t want the project to become unmaintained, or worse: being backdoored like XZ was.
[Wayback/Archive] Sponsor @sebres on GitHub Sponsors · GitHub
The fail2ban repository is at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – fail2ban/fail2ban: Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
Via [Wayback/Archive] dee 🏳️⚧️: “fail2ban has one core maintain…” – Grafana Social
fail2ban has one core maintainer github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban and he has only 3 Github sponsors github.com/sebres
WTF
I can’t even comprehend how many servers are protected by fail2ban, how many compromises are avoided, how many people who run hobby things all the way up to major sites that get to sleep soundly every night… because of this single project.
Related: XZ 5.6.x are backdoored and present in many systems: downgrade to 5.4.x or earlier now; consider libarchive compromised until proven otherwise

The feature reminds me on how archive.today saves content.
Both the zhot and tweetzhot repositories are on my list of tools to try. They might make writing blog posts easier.
They are both based on [Wayback/Archive] puppeteer/puppeteer: Headless Chrome Node.js API
…
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the
DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs
headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.
…
It demonstrates headless browser usage and can for instance:
- Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
- Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (i.e. “SSR” (Server-Side Rendering)).
- Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.
- Create an up-to-date, automated testing environment. Run your tests directly in the latest version of Chrome using the latest JavaScript and browser features.
- Capture a timeline trace of your site to help diagnose performance issues.
- Test Chrome Extensions.
Note any headless browser will have some trouble rendering single-page applications.

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] s3-ocr: Extract text from PDF files stored in an S3 bucket
One reason is archival of books. Even (or maybe especially) in IT, books already have historic meaning especially in narrower fields where they often are not available in the Internet Archive or have been scanned by Google Books.
