Julia Evans (b0rk on Twitter) motivated many people to post their web browser Javascript debugger tip
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/10
There are quite a lot of cool responses to b0rk asking this a while back: [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “does anyone know of a good demo (blog post / video) of how to use a Javascript debugger in a browser to investigate a bug? I’ve used debuggers in C but never Javascript”
Archived just in case I need to do more web development stuff.

What’s Behind A Webpage? Use DevTools To Find Out
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/29
You don’t have to be a web-developer to peek inside the underpinnings of web-pages. In fact what you see is very interesting, for instance from an OSINT perspective.

Cool nginx playground by b0rk (Julia Evans)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/28
This is a really cool interactive [Wayback/Archive] nginx playground!
It starts with a default nginx configuration which you can edit and spins up a docker container for each run showing the results of that configuration.
How cool is that to learn how nginx works (:
This is how I found out about it:

Belastingaangifte 2023 met Excel gratis downloaden | Computer Idee
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27
Dit jaar was ik er een paar dagen eerder bij dan vorig jaar: meer rust in mijn hoofd na de verhuizing en een betere planning gemaakt rondom de paardrijvakantie van mijn verstandelijk beperkte broer (waar we altijd zorgen daar in de buurt te zijn zodat we indien nodig snel ter plaatse kunnen handelen).
Waarom is deze blog post zo laat?
Het laat heeft er vooral mee te maken dat deze Excel sheet meestal nog een aantal wijzigingen krijgt na de normale deadline van 1 mei. Dus ik begin pas met downloaden de maand voor de echt harde deadline van 1 september.
Waarom dan toch nu de post?
Eigenlijk is dat heel simpel: vooral zodat je kunt zien hoe je aan deze informatie komt ook al wijzigen de locaties: waar vorig jaar het Excel-bestand voor de belastingaangifte nog bij Google stond, staat het deze keer bij WeTransfer.
Dit jaar zijn de linkjes her en der dus behoorlijk anders: meer dan een simpele vervanging van 2022 door 2023 in de start-link van de eerste Google Search onderaan mijn blog-post.
Let ook op (dit vergat ik vorig jaar te vermelden): dit Excel bestand werkt bij mij niet op Office voor MacOS.
Omdat Computer Idee meestal geen jaartallen in de titels van hun artikelen gebruikt, moet je handmatig de zoekresultaten van Google Search door om te zien welke relevant voor aangifte over afgelopen jaar (in dit geval 2023) is/zijn. Vandaar dat ik hieronder op een aantal plekken jaartellen heb toegevoegd:

The mojibake “creëer”
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/22
A while ago, I found the “creëer” mojibake in a Dutch page on the IKEA site.
They were not alone to make this mistake which is easily explained using [Wayback/Archive] ftfy:
>>> ftfy.fix_and_explain("creëer") ExplainedText(text='creëer', explanation=[('encode', 'latin-1'), ('decode', 'utf-8')])
(you can run this on-line at [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to Python.org: interactive shell, see my post The things I didn’t notice during cancer survival: ftfy 6.0 and more versions got released during my recovery on how to do this)
So the text is easily fixed:

Some notes on codepoints.net and beta.codepoints.net
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/07
At the time of writing a lot of this might be more recent, but for quite some time codepoints.net had not been updated with code point information newer Unicode releases.
Basically it was stuck at Unicode version 8.0 with some 120k glyphs. At the time of writing Unicode version 15.0 is in beta and the difference between 15.0 and 8.0 is some 24k glyphs.
So I had a quick twitter chat with the author and jotted down the links in this blog post so I won’t forget them.
There I learned it was open source (I think it is the only Unicode codepoint site that is).
Here it goes:

I love the new title-text for the 2018 “Clippy” picture at [Wayback/Archive] CrazyMyra: “After AI took his job as an online assistant, Mr Clippy was obliged to seek work in other sectors…” – beige.party

Important to defeat Twitter wrongly auto-guessing of URLs (and assuming anything with @ or # is a mention or hashtag) is Nelson’s Weblog: tech / zero-width-space

Quoting in full from [Wayback/Archive] Nelson’s Weblog: tech / zero-width-space to demonstrate a zero-width-space problem with WordPress too.

Reminder to self: write a Bookmarklet that shortens YouTube URLs to the youtu.be ones
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/02
When sharing YouTube videos via the mobile apps, they are shortened using the youtu.be domain.
So this is a reminder to write a Bookmarklet based URL-shortener myself for this and extend it so it also understands the various YouTube URL parameters (like start time).
The transformation is documented:
