Cool. [WayBack] Black Thread Design | Convert 3D models to GLTF:
GLTF is the up and coming superstar of 3D model formats – you can even display it on the Facebook news feed. Use this tool to convert from various formats to GLTF using the three.js exporter
All Java Script based: [WayBack] three.js / examples.

How to pin either a Shortcut or a Batch file to the new Windows 7, 8 and 10 Taskbar and start menu? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/29
This nailed it: way easier than all the alternatives involving VB scripts, registry keys and Group Policy Editors.
- Create a shortcut to your batch file.
- Get into shortcut property and change target to something like:
cmd.exe /C "path-to-your-batch".- Simply drag your new shortcut to the taskbar
Source: [WayBack] How to pin either a Shortcut or a Batch file to the new Windows 7, 8 and 10 Taskbar and start menu? – Super User
The trick is step 2. After that you can modify back your shortcut to just the batch file.

Migrating to python 3: adding parenthesis to print calls and getting rid of printf style formatting
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/28
There is still so much Python 2.x stuff on the web, and I’m slowly moving what I have to Python 3.
These links are good starts for print calls and string formatting:
- [WayBack] What does “SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to ‘print'” mean in Python? – Stack Overflow
- [WayBack] python – what does print(s%%s) mean here? – Stack Overflow

Passing parameters to a Bash function – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/20
Since I tend to forget this:
- you can declare bash functions with parenthesis
- you pass parameters to functions space delimited (often people quote each parameter)
- within functions you can refer to parameters by number just like the parameters passed to a shell script
More info at:
- [WayBack] Passing parameters to a Bash function – Stack Overflow
- [WayBack] Complex Functions and Function Complexities
I think for functions, you can apply what is linked from Some useful links on bash parameters: $1, $*, $@, quotes, etc., so a loop over all parameters in a function is the same as in a script, see [WayBack] shell – how to loop through arguments in a bash script – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange from Gilles:
There’s a special syntax for this:
for i do echo "$i" doneMore generally, the list of parameters of the current script or function is available through the special variable
$@.for i in "$@"; do echo "$i" doneNote that you need the double quotes around
$@, otherwise the parameters undergo wildcard expansion and field splitting."$@"is magic: despite the double quotes, it expands into as many fields as there are parameters.print_arguments () { for i in "$@"; do echo "$i"; done } print_arguments 'hello world' '*' 'special !\characters' # prints 3 lines print_arguments '' # prints one empty line print_arguments # prints nothing

Common SMTP message size limits
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/08
After a 2018 discussion with a “zorgkantoor” (Dutch for office that arranges for special long term health care needs, successor of AWBZ) about their very low (10 megabyte) SMTP message size limit – even though they expect scanned PDF documents.
Their web-care team posed this limit as normal, so I made a list of limits in their peer group, common world-wide and well-ranked Dutch internet providers.
My plan is to check the progression of these limits over time.
Note these are the bruto message sizes including encoded attachments. Since encoding in [WayBack] MIME Base64 – Wikipedia has a overhead of at least 37% (encoded size is at least 1.37 the original size), the unencoded maximum size is less than 73% of what is listed below.
