Most of what I share is in text or picture form but every once in a blue moon I need to share small binaries publicly in a way mere mortals can use.
Since neither GitHub gists nor GitLab snippets support other binary files than images*, and most Pastebin sites are text-only I queried [Wayback/Archive] binary pastebin – Google Search which got me to [Wayback/Archive] Binary pastebin | boltblog.
That in turn pointed to [Wayback/Archive] Pastebin (paste.c-net.org) which has a full page of help, including this important bit:

As a keyboard person, I prefer to live on the CLI (command-line interface), so when possible I prefer command-line tools over GUI tools (especially since command-line tool are way easier to script).
In the past on non-Windows systems I used gist (see below), but that is not available on Windows unless you have a Ruby environment.
Some notes on Windows to install and authenticate GitHub CLI (gh) and GitLab CLI (glab), both of which I previously mentioned in Tribal Knowledge? Getting the public keys from github and gitlab users from their username.
For me, installing is easiest through Chocolatey (version numbers from the time of writing; the non-archived URLs point to the most current version available):
This was my install script:

The manual process of getting back to the earliest commit of a GitHub repository is easy for small repositories, but for a large one it is very tedious.
TL;DR: there are various ways, but the easiest was the INIT Bookmarklet below.
Note: 2 weeks before the scheduled post made it to the front of the queue, I got a report¹ that it started to fail. Here it still works.
It’s hard to debug because of the functional programming approach taken.

A few years back, a few interesting files turned up that are directly served from the testla.com web-site right in the middle when Musk used their software engineers to asses twitter.com code quality:
Some do not exist (of which some any more):

I wonder how long this can be hosted on GitHub. Will start using it, just to learn more about the GitHub computing infrastructure.

The people knowing about the really early Pascal history are a dying breed. So before I pass away (see the posts on my rectum cancer), let me post a few more links here that based on yesterday’s Trip down memory lane: book on p-Code based UCSD Pascal which I ended with:
I learned a few more things from [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? (Page 2)
Here we go:

Last week I wrote on File scoped namespaces – C# 10.0 draft specifications | Microsoft Learn, promising to write more on p-Code and UCSD Pascal. That’s now (:
I started with [Wayback/Archive] “java byte code” “ucsd” “p-code” – Google Search as I was looking for really old material on this (Java 1.0 versions became available in the 1994-1995 time frame, and a lot of material back then either did not make it to the World Wide Web (which slowly gained popularity around that time, see History of the World Wide Web) or has vanished due to link rot.
The cool thing is that many “new” people are not even aware of p-Code, as the 2019 thread [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? shows.
I learned a thing or two from it as well, for instance that there has been a “recent” book on UCSD Pascal:

Empirically, these are show the same behaviour where “command 2″and “command 3″are documented, but still present a lot as the only solution in blog posts and help sites:
git config commands
command 1: list |
command 2: --list |
command 3: -l |
what config is shown |
git config list --local |
git config --list --local |
git config -l --local |
--local config for current repository |
git config list --global |
git config --list --global |
git config -l --global |
--global config for the current user |
git config list --system |
git config --list --system |
git config -l --system |
--system config for all users |
git config list |
git config --list |
git config -l |
all 3 levels of config combined, for convenience
without telling which configuration setting is on which level |
Based on [Wayback/Archive] git config: list all variables and their default values – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Matteo Meil): Read the rest of this entry »

Learned a while ago: if you have the username from a GitHub or GitLab user, you can download interesting that sometimes can make life easier (but not necessarily more secure):
github.com/username.keys gives you their public SSH keysgitlab.com/username.keys gives you their public SSH keysgithub.com/username.png gives you their profile image
And that there are tools like gh, glab and age that can make direct use of them.
I love Twitter, so thanks for these for teaching me these little tricks:
