[Wayback/Archive] Danielle Braun dr. on Twitter: “En en in plaats van of of.”
The image is by @thepresentpsychologist on Instagram (figured that out via Google Lens finding [Wayback/Archive] Psychological Safety Newsletter #39: Diversity and Ethical Behaviour | Psychological Safety), but and it took some effort to find the original post back as Instagram does not allow anonymous browsing.

Edit: I scheduled this post a long time ago, but it likely won’t work any more because of Space Karen demolsing Twitter. So for now, view this post as a how historically we had nice things on Twitter.
When writing this, the fork [Wayback/Archive] woluxwolu/twint works and the original [Wayback/Archive] twintproject/twint: An advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn’t use Twitter’s API, allowing you to scrape a user’s followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations. does not.
See these tweets in Dutch (Google Translate on them works well):

[Wayback/Archive] corbosman on Twitter: “I created a container in my private kubernetes cluster that checks if my ziggo ip address changes and if so, notifies me and makes some DNS changes through the API of my DNS provider. Last night Ziggo changed my IP and it worked flawlessly. Win!” / Twitter

Need to try this out: [Wayback/Archive] Code from https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/1279123542144094208 and https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/1279123544052563968 (find tweets you retweeted by someone else)

[Wayback/Archive] Delete (very) old tweets obtained from a twitter archive comments:
# Largely copied from http://www.mathewinkson.com/2015/03/delete-old-tweets-selectively-using-python-and-tweepy # However, Mathew's script cannot delete tweets older than something like a year (these tweets are not available from the twitter API) # This script is a complement on first use, to delete old tweets. It uses your twitter archive to find tweets' ids to delete # How to use it : # - download and extract your twitter archive (tweet.js will contain all your tweets with dates and ids) # - put this script in the extracted directory # - complete the secrets to access twitter's API on your behalf and, possibly, modify days_to_keep # - delete the few junk characters at the beginning of tweet.js, until the first '[' (it crashed my json parser) # - review the script !!!! It has not been thoroughly tested, it may have some unexpected behaviors... # - run this script # - forget this script, you can now use Mathew's script for your future deletions # # License : Unlicense http://unlicense.org/
It is by [Wayback/Archive] Anil (@TheOtherAnil), who also wrote [Wayback/Archive] @captions_please (mentioned in my earlier post Two more Twitter bots that help with inclusion and accessibility (a11y): @get_altText and @captions_please), see:
[Wayback/Archive] Anil on Twitter: “@captions_please @jazzthefraz ah sorry the bot didn’t run earlier because of a bug. Should be fixed now.”

I have had these two batch files on my system forever:
sha1.bat::: https://superuser.com/questions/245775/is-there-a-built-in-checksum-utility-on-windows-7 :: https://www.mcbsys.com/blog/2017/03/use-certutil-to-get-file-hash/ :: Windows 7 has case sensitive Hash algorithms: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512 certUtil -hashfile %* SHA1
sha256.bat::: https://superuser.com/questions/245775/is-there-a-built-in-checksum-utility-on-windows-7 :: https://www.mcbsys.com/blog/2017/03/use-certutil-to-get-file-hash/ :: Windows 7 has case sensitive Hash algorithms: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512 certUtil -hashfile %* SHA256
But I forgot to blog about [Wayback/Archive] Use Certutil to Get File Hash | MCB Systems mentioning:
on Windows 7, the hash algorithms are case-sensitive. Be sure to type, for example, “MD5”, not “md5”. On Windows 8.1 and 10, case doesn’t matter
I did mention the first link in “error: invalid object 100644” “git svn”, though only in a by-line. So thanks [Wayback/Archive] user64996 for asking and:
CertUtil is a pre-installed Windows utility, that can be used to generate hash checksums:certUtil -hashfile pathToFileToCheck [HashAlgorithm]HashAlgorithm choices: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512So for example, the following generates an MD5 checksum for the fileC:\TEMP\MyDataFile.img:CertUtil -hashfile C:\TEMP\MyDataFile.img MD5Original solution by Laisvis Lingvevicius
To check if the hash is correct, you can use this Powershell one-liner:if ( $($(CertUtil -hashfile C:\TEMP\MyDataFile.img MD5)[1] -replace " ","") -eq "your_hash" ) { echo "ok" }
powershell get-filehash -algorithm md5 <file_to_check>

Last year, I answered [Wayback/Archive] javascript – Bookmarklet to append a string to a URL – Stack Overflow (asked by [Wayback/Archive] Karlo Guidoni Martins, thanks!).
It is about not being able to run bookmarklets on pages hosted by for instance:
gist.githubusercontent.comraw.githubusercontent.comGitHub is an exception, as RAW files from these services do work fine:
At first sight, when running a Bookmarklet on those RAW GitHub served pages, you do not see an error: it just looks like the Bookmarklet does not work at all. The last part is right, but in the Chrome console you can actually see the error.
That error lead me to my answer:

I already knew about jq and jo (output: the echo for JSON), but not yet about jc for JSON.
Like jq is for querying (the sed for JSON), jc tries to be the universal parser of common command-line tools into JSON:
[Wayback/Archive] kellyjonbrazil/jc: CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools and file-types to JSON or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: ““Jc” verwandelt den Output von üblichen Linux Kommandozeilen Tools in JSON. “Jc” kann auch als Import in Python Programmen verwendet werden und mit subprocess kombiniert werden. Danke, @janwalzer und @the_mutax für den Tip. “
A few weeks later though, Kris discovered that command-line tools aren’t that portable in their output format: [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: “As much as I love the idea of @kellyjonbrazil’s jc, this is not a winnable game. sigh Probably still better than a self-cooked parser, but the slightest bit of extra makes it catch fire in multiple possible ways …”

Be careful phrasing reg.exe commands.
Sometimes it gives you the error ERROR: Invalid key name.
The reason is that the reg.exe is really sensitive on the order of the command-line: the first argument must be a full key, optionally prepended by a computername.
Any other optional command-line option (like /f to force execution without asking) needs to go after that.
