RBAC: root based access control
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/01
From a while ago, but a good day to share this:
Although for some scenarios, having two roles “all access” and “no access” is quite sufficient.

Via Chris Oldwood on Twitter: the real meaning of various C++ character types wchart_t, char, tchar and varchar
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/02/21
A while ago there was this great thread of various C++ character types:
- [Wayback/Archive] Chris Oldwood on Twitter: “The difference between
charandwchar_tin C++ is thatcharis for narrow characters andwchar_tis for wide characters. So you’d store letters like i, l, and t in acharbut M and W in awchar_t…” - [Wayback/Archive] Alan Stokes on Twitter: “@chrisoldwood
tcharis for really tiny characters, like ‘.‘.” - [Wayback/Archive] Chris Marrin on Twitter: “@chrisoldwood That all makes sense, but what do you do with this? “
And since most above talk about character width:
- [Wayback/Archive] Rob King on Twitter: “@chrisoldwood And the part of the operating system that handles the spacing between letters is the kern-el.”

PRANK: Windows XP Updates
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/01/25
This one is cool: [Wayback/Archive] PRANK: Windows XP Updates.
Note that unlike the screenshot below, the actual prank does count the percentage. The actual page does.
You can start this one and various other OSes plus Windows versions and other pranks via [Wayback/Archive] FakeUpdate.net – Windows Update Prank by fediaFedia (at the time of writing Windows 98 install, Windows Vista update, Windows 8 update, Windows 7 update, Mac OS boot, Windows 10 install, Windows 10 update, steam and “fake ransomware”).
It is a cool and relatively harmless way of teaching people to use their lock screen when away from their machine (Windows: Win+L, Mac OS: Ctrl+Shift+Power).

Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” / Twitter
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/08
The response to [Wayback/Archive] Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” were so great!
Just a few that I liked very much:
- It’s a recursive acronym for “Jira isn’t really agile”
- Just Issues Rarely Addressed
- jumbled information, reported arbitrarily
- Jumping
Into
Real
Agony- Just Individual Redtape Actions

Learned a while ago from @Caramelia79 at Twitter: “AEG Methode.”
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/28
Too bad that [Wayback/Archive] Cara (@Caramelia79) / Twitter deleted their tweet before it got archived, so this lone tweet does not really make sense now:
[Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@Caramelia79 @unimanatee Heute neu gelernt: AEG Methode.” / Twitter
The joke however was this:
AEG Methode:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht
It is also known as “AEG-Prinzip” and refers back to the AEG brand that was (still is?) big in Germany for household appliances and industrial products.
The not so cool thing is that by now it seams to mean:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht nicht
as about a year ago some AEG microwave appliance models show errors F606 and F254 after a firmware update: they now think they are steam ovens but cannot find the correct steam hardware:
