I hardly do web development, so every once in a while I encounter something that I forgot about.
In this case it was embedding images with base64 encoding in the HTML of a web page.
The GitHub unicorn page reminded me of that, so I saved it in a gist and a JSFiddle:
You can view the rendered HTML here:

Interesting, as this seems to handle all actions client-side: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue
Hosting is at two sites:
The code is a tiny HTML wrapper around about 1000 lines of JavaScript (plus a few hundred lines of minified [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm: FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly JavaScript code). Impressive!

[Wayback/Archive] Show HN: Live-updating version of the ‘What a week, huh?’ meme | Hacker News
As a fun evening project, I made a live-updating version of the ‘What a week, huh?’ meme (based on a panel from The Adventures of Tintin comics [1]).
There’s a page for every timeframe:
Current time is determined by a Cloudflare Worker using the request IP (not logged or stored). No JavaScript is sent to the browser.

It was easy to edit the HTML to change the message and CSS for the text dimensions, see the image on the right.
MacOS users will likely recognise the font as it is the Marker Felt font which is included by default on MacOS.
And it would be cool to alter the speech bubbles to be more like the ones Hergé used, see this comment:

Forgot to schedule this one when I saw it two weeks ago: [Wayback/Archive] Sweep the Strait.
Apart from demonstrating that Trump never had a plan, does not and will not have a plan, it is cool to see Minesweeper developed in JavaScript, HTML and CSS mapped with some geodata onto a real map of the Strait of Hormuz.
Cool idea!
It has a function Windows 3.x UI with functional menu (Game -> New Game; Help -> How to Play)
At first, I thought the original developer is this:
However, in fact the developer is:

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Enabling TRIM on an external SSD on a Raspberry Pi | Jeff Geerling
Printing to large format paper or displaying it on large screens introduces a lot of whitespace resulting in the listings having horizontal scrollbars. That was easier to circumvent in CSS than I initially thought, so I wrote [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App:

Note that for removing the bullet-type, it does not matter if it is an ordered or unordered list.

Nog niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?

Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.
Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.
Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.
De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
- …
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
- …
- ³
Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:
Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:

Since a few years, YouTube puts annoyingly overlays on top of like the last 5 to 10 seconds of videos often covering valuable content.
Lately – while preparing for concerts – I have watched a lot of score music videos where the end really is very important to me (see the example below), for instance when rehearsing [Wayback/Archive] La Alhambra – Llano – YouTube until the final end.
The solution came from [Wayback/Archive] How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

While doing some ASCII art blog-post drafts cleanup, I bumped into the (now deleted) [Wayback/Archive] Best 404 page ever? : r/ProgrammerHumor which pointed to the (also now deleted).
I got there via my (not deleted!) blog post Why I like PlantUML.
So I dug up the old archived copy of that PlantUML 404-page and made gist out of it.
I soon realised this was all encoded stuff, seemingly a mix of a ROT13 variation and some other shifting around.
Luckily the original page mentioned in the Reddit post was way easier, so I put that in a gist too.
Bot are below the blog-signature. Enjoy!
Oh, and the full text of course above the signature:
