For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] s3-ocr: Extract text from PDF files stored in an S3 bucket
One reason is archival of books. Even (or maybe especially) in IT, books already have historic meaning especially in narrower fields where they often are not available in the Internet Archive or have been scanned by Google Books.

For my link archive (Swiss pCloud is GDPR conformant, has European servers in Luxembourg, supports Windows/MacOS/Linux/Android/iOS and various browser extensions).
Before the lists of links: note that cloud storage is not a back-up (despite many of them trying to lure you into thinking they are), so note two things:

I will need this one day as keeping resources up for sandbox or test accounts can cost a lot when things do not happen according to plan:
Both have been written in golang.
Warning: these can be abused, wreak havoc when accidentally used in production, or not even delete all (it’s software; there might be bugs).

Still working on handling open Chrome tabs after having moved in the period that GitLab had quite a few issues causing my PagerDuty alerts to go wild.
Today PagerDuty gave me 7 calls in 4 hours again (see [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “@gitlab Since 20240312T1727Z I get PagerDuty alerts from HetrixTools for some pages hosted on GitLab. It would be nice if someone could have a look at gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/17717“).
In adddition I need to check if anything made it to the GitLab issue list from the 20230827 connectivity issues I mentioned at [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “Is it @gitlab hosting having transcontinental issues, or are other continental connections affected as well? These are from two different *.gitlab.io pages as measured via @HetrixTools . No issues are listed at status.gitlab.com“.
Back then, this was the most important one: [Wayback/Archive] GitLab System Status: GitLab.com availability issues – October 30, 2023 15:39 UTC
Likely because of this, wiert.me.gitlab.io had been down for a while as well on 20231031 (see [Wayback/Archive] wiert.me.gitlab.io (Recent History) – HetrixTools down from 2023-10-30T15:24Z until 2023-10-30T16:14Z for 3 + 3 + 11 + 27 = 44 minutes.)
Back then, the hardest part was to quickly find out if there was indeed an issue being investigated at all.
The GitLab status multi-media account on Twitter just points to the status page, which makes it hard to find the underlying issue.
I didn’t archive that one in time, but when I got the alerts it didn’t show anything and when it was resolved it was already beyond the cut-off timestamp to mark it as “same day” and the graph didn’t show much down-time [Wayback/Archive] GitLab System Status graph didn’t show much down-time:

[Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “I’ve always heard that you can’t create CNAME records at the root of the domain. But apparently you can? It seems to work fine as far as I can tell but I’m curious about the possible consequences. (yes, I registered cnameroot.com just to make this tweet) “

I had speedtest-cli running on MacOS and various Linux machines, but not yet on Windows (see for instance my post Ubuntu: Fixing the myserious “Failed to stop apt-daily.timer: Connection timed out”).
[Wayback/Archive] Install and Test Internet Speed with Speedtest CLI Command Line – NEXTOFWINDOWS.COM reminded me there is a Speedtest CLI for Windows download at at [Wayback/Archive] Speedtest CLI: Internet speed test for the command line, but I am a an automation/scripting/devops person, so luckily there are also [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | Speedtest by Ookla (don’t get [Wayback/Archive] Ookla.Speedtest download, as that is the GUI version).
Both the Chocolatey and winget packages are named the same, so that is quite confusing. This is how I have set them apart:

Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).
The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

Some links on the unexpected turn of events after [Archive] Jeff Geerling (@geerlingguy) / Twitter posted
First his site got more traffic because of the post, then within an hour traffic exploded because of a DDoS overflowing both his Raspberry Pi cluster and his mobile data capacity.
Jeff will likely do blog posts on these and update the underlying GitHub repository at [Wayback/Archive] geerlingguy/turing-pi-2-cluster: Turing Pi 2 Cluster , but until then (since his Tweets were not threaded), this is what happened on 20220209 as it taught me a few bits:
