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:

I always forget nomenclature, so in my mind the terms for the two consoles in the Chrome web development tools (official nomenclature: Chrome DevTools) are these:
I did know that you can close the secondary console by pressing the cross on its top-right corner.
I did not know how to reopen, apart from it occasionally reopening by itself.
So I did digging, found the official nomenclature, and more importantly that the Esc key toggles the secondary console.
Official nomenclature in the same order are above from [Wayback/Archive] Console features reference | Chrome DevTools | Chrome for Developers:

This was the easiest tool to remove HTML from select tags while keeping line breaks: [Wayback/Archive] Online HTML Stripper. Remove HTML and formatting from text.
Especially the client-side on-line tools I tried failed that option:
This just does not work at all for me: [Wayback/Archive] HTML Cleaner (cannot paste HTML text: needs to paste formatted text which does not work with select elements).
Could I have done this on a command-line? Of course, but I don’t need it often enough to warrant investigating and remembering how to do that in an efficient manner.

A while ago I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Quick Accent steals the WordPress classic editor space after a hyphen-minus sign or asterisk · Issue #24623 · microsoft/PowerToys.
In the WordPress Classic Editor, the * or - combinations quickly generate an empty bulleted list:
When enabling the PowerToys Quick Accent (formerly [Wayback/Archive] PowerAccent) with their default settings this fails (but it does work in the WordPress Gutenberg editor, Word and some other tools I tested).
The easiest way to work around this is to switch from the default “Activation Keys” setting “Left, Right or Space” to “Left/Right Arrow”.
Hopefully besides the workaround there will also be a full fix.

A cool way to unit-test JavaScript code on the browser side is [Wayback/Archive] Getting Started | QUnit:
To get started with QUnit in the browser, create a simple HTML file called
test.htmland include the following markup:<!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Test Suite</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.css"> <body> <div id="qunit"></div> <div id="qunit-fixture"></div> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.js"></script> </body>That’s all the markup you need to start writing tests. Note that this loads the library from the jQuery CDN.
I was so glad to find QUnit via the below links as I unconsciously wanted such a thing for a very very long time.
You can either run it locally or remotely or from the jQuery CDN as both it

This is a follow-up on Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link which can be accessed from multiple URLs, some through redirection:
You can see the difference in these archived links (the navivate was a typo that I only spotted after the original blog post got published):
I wanted a Bookmarklet to find the last link; the one in the referenced blog post didn’t.

SVG can be beautifully crafted XML representing vector graphics with full support for CSS while also supporting raster graphics. [Wayback/Archive] A Friendly Introduction to SVG • Josh W. Comeau explains how you can do that.
Note that in practice most tools generate horrible SVG and CSS.

From 12ft – Wikipedia:
On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.
It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):

Note that for removing the bullet-type, it does not matter if it is an ordered or unordered list.
list-style-type – CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN
noneNo item marker is shown.
Adding the “list-style: none” CSS class to the unordered list (<ul>) or ordered list (<ol>) tag removes any bullet or number.<ul style="list-style: none;"> <li>List item with no bullet</li> <li>Second item</li> </ul>
