The mastodon boop sounds are called boop and were created by Josef Kenny

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/24

You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at

They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year. In 2022 it became clear that using the sound is allowed as long as there is credit:

Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/17

During a Cloudflare outage¹, I learned about [Wayback/Archive] Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs

Decentralized static site hosting on the AT Protocol.

Wisp.place enables you to host static websites directly in your AT Protocol repository. Your Personal Data Server (PDS) holds the cryptographically signed manifest and files as the authoritative source of truth, while hosting services index and serve them with CDN-like performance.

This is the documentation of [Wayback/A] wisp.place by [Wayback/Archive] Ana (@nekomimi.pet) — Bluesky.

python – Some gists on github have very many forks. How can I find the most recently active and/or heavily modified? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/30

Interesting read: there is even an API for it (which you need to be logged on for in order not to get a rate limit): [Wayback/Archive] python – Some gists on github have very many forks. How can I find the most recently active and/or heavily modified? – Stack Overflow

Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Michael Goldshteyn, [Wayback/Archive] rob006, [Wayback/Archive] Chankey Pathak and [Wayback/Archive] ikwyl6 for solving this both for gists and regular github repositories:

rcmcdonald91/pfSense-pkg-WireGuard: This is a port of the original WireGuard UI bits as implemented by Netgate in pfSense 2.5.0 to a package suitable for rapid iteration and more frequent updating on future releases of pfSense.

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/25

This is actually the WireGuard package you can install on pfSense CE 2.5.2 and higher: [Wayback/Archive] rcmcdonald91/pfSense-pkg-WireGuard: This is a port of the original WireGuard UI bits as implemented by Netgate in pfSense 2.5.0 to a package suitable for rapid iteration and more frequent updating on future releases of pfSense.

Note that the source code mentions a lot of web-technologies but that is because the majority of the code is the pfSense plugin. Underneath it pulls the actual build from [Wayback/Archive] git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-freebsd/snapshot which is almost exclusively C code.

Like WireGuardNT on Windows, it uses a high performance kernel mode driver.

Some more links on it:

version control – How can I see the changes in a Git commit? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/16

[Wayback/Archive] version control – How can I see the changes in a Git commit? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] laktak, [Wayback/Archive] Nevik Rehnel, [Wayback/Archive] Juuso Ohtonen and [Wayback/Archive] User c z – Stack Overflow)

This looks like a valid question, but in reality it is not.

The thing is: in git, think of a commit not as a diff but as a snapshot*.

A diff is the difference between two commits.

Since most commits have just a single parent, so that’s why many people call a commit a diff. But that’s not true, especially not for merge commits that have at least two parents.

Anyway, the question, answer and comment from the link above already give some insight (note COMMIT everywhere below has to be replaced with the commit hash):

How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/04

I used [Wayback/Archive] How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub to go

The reason I needed it is that for quite a while now, GitHub has started to display PDF files as preview, and modified the download behaviour to get a blob: link instead of the actual raw file download location.

On the to do list:

  1. figure out the same for raw files in gists
  2. figure out the same for GitLab
  3. convert these into Bookmarklets (fiddle with the bold parts in the above URLs)

Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Lotaristo (Czeslaw Meyer) and [Wayback/Archive] byrneh (Hugh Byrne)

Buddy (software) – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/03

Interesting: Buddy (software) – Wikipedia

Buddy (also known as Buddy.Works) is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery software for Git developers that can be used to buildtest and deploy web sites and applications with code from GitHubBitbucket and GitLab. It employs Docker containers with pre-installed languages and frameworks for builds, alongside DevOps, monitoring and notification actions.

On my list of things to try in case built-in GitGub and GitLab functionality does not suffice my needs any more.

I wonder how well it runs on ARM architecture.

Notes in case I want to create my own homebrew cask for installing software they disabled/removed

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/16

Some notes as it might enable me to install software that homebrew has deprecated or removed (note that local changes by default are ignored as the brew API takces precedence):

Despite the homebrew repository being a high commit-volume one which makes following it from a clone hard, just did already clone it Read the rest of this entry »
