As an alt-text advocate, I appreciate [Wayback/Archive] Thomas 🔭✨: “The same people who say it’s t…” – Hachyderm.io
The same people who say it’s too hard to write alt text are now suddenly “prompt engineers” who literally write alt text to generate images.

In case you missed it, this is indeed a thing: Prompt engineer – Wikipedia.

In a game of Walls and Ladders (similar to Arms Race), the Ladders usually win, see the references at the end of the post.
The actual “game” in this case is more and more sites trying to build walls prevent pasting credential related information like user IDs (often e-mail addresses) or passwords often citing “more safety” or “less security risks”, and users get taller ladders wanting to do just that because of their own security concerns:
[Wayback/Archive] Stef 🎈 on Twitter: “Dear mobile/web-apps, please never never disable copy and paste “due to security reasons”. -everybody with a password manager.”
The walls will always loose so it is better to invest the money for the walls into other security measures.
Given that most of the risks are web-sites getting that information exfiltrated, I wish they put more energy into bolting down that side of the security risk side than the hampering legitimate users entering that information in the first place.
Since so many of these sites have leaked my information in the past, any email address I use for activating an account is like 50 characters long. Something I am not going to type once (because of typing mistakes) and definitely not twice (to confirm I did not make typing mistakes).

A while after writing notes on updating DNS info with bind DNS, b0rk (Julia Evans) posted about her DNS zine which got a reply about her DNS lookup tool. Below is part of that thread.
The reason I post is that – unlike the Google DNS ToolBox – you can bookmark her DNS tool link including the actual search part, which makes it far easier to do systems administration.
Examples:
example.org – all recordsexample.org – SOAwiert.me – all recordswiert.me – SOAThere is a trace tool too:
tracetrace – example.orgtrace – wiert.meThe thread:

I like the featured snipped [WayBack] css color names – Google Search
It points to [WayBack] Quackit: CSS Color Codes which has the below nice table (a few duplicates could be stripped, but the ordering and layout is great!)
Since then, I also found these very interesting pages on web colors that are also useful in any software development environment:

Sometimes one bumps into a Google Chrome extension that is both useful from a practical perspective as insightful on learning from how it is done.
This is one: [Wayback/Archive] iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome: Bypass Paywalls web browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
It supports many sites (including more than a dozen Dutch ones) for which it is not easy to justify creating separate accounts for them (just the risk of them leaked into Have I been Pwned? is large, despite GDPR) and staying logged on for each of them. I have dozens of listings of my email addresses at haveibeenpwned.com, so I am a lot more careful making accounts than in the past despite assigning unique email addresses for each account (which is part of the burden).

I was a long term user of “The Great Suspender”. It was a cool little Chrome Extension that would auto-suspend Chrome tabs that had not been used for a while and resume them when the tab did get accessed again thereby greatly reducing the horrible Chrome CPU and memory footprints.
During my year+ long treatment against metastasised rectum cancer I had suspended or hibernated most of my physical and virtual machines. So there was not just the surprised during the recovery of those that The Great Suspender had been kicked of the Chrome extensions, but also the problem of getting all the suspended tabs back of machines that eventually would be awoken out of sleep: I keep tabs open on stuff that I was working on or investigating for future blog posts, so these somehow could be important.
For now, I am not using anything as a replacement just to experience how well Chrome has evolved to suspend inactive tabs itself.
Now Chrome seems to do this well, as this post is based on an old VM that I have now unsuspended which had [Wayback/Archive] “the great suspender” “malware” – Google Search and the below links open in a mid-February 2021 state but not all archived in the Wayback Machine or Archive.is (some I did archived in February-May 2021).
The links are about why it got removed, how to recover lost suspended tabs and a possible alternative in case current Chrome suspend behaviour is not good enough.

The basic options for logging an HTML Element using JavaScript are for instance described in [Wayback/Archive] google chrome – How can I log an HTML element as a JavaScript object? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Ben Flynn for asking and [Wayback/Archive] Mathias Bynens for answering)):
Useconsole.dir:var element = document.documentElement; // or any other element console.log(element); // logs the expandable <html>…</html> console.dir(element); // logs the element’s properties and values
Both log all html or all properties even though often these are enough (most via [Wayback/Archive] Element – Web APIs | MDN):

I wish I had known this ages ago: [Wayback/Archive] javascript – Chrome debugging – break on next click event – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] D.R. for asking and [Wayback/Archive] Konrad Dzwinel for answering):
What you are looking for are [Wayback/Archive] ‘Event Listener Breakpoints‘ on the
Sourcestab. These breakpoints are triggered whenever any event listener, that listens for chosen event, is fired. You will find them in the Sources tab. In your case, expand ‘Mouse’ category and choose ‘Click’.

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.
