3D printer: Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “If you want to spend a month building it and then the rest of your life telling everyone about it, get a Voron. If you want something quick to assemble and practical, get an Ender 3 S1. If you want the nice coffee-sippingest model that looks good in orange, get a Prusa.”

I wonder if this still holds: [Wayback/Archive] Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “@NetworkChuck @joeltelling @Barnacules If you want to spend a month building it and then the rest of your life telling everyone about it, get a Voron.

Found out that a few years back the Unifi Network Controller got replaced with Unifi Network Application
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/08/14
My Unifi Cloud Key (the original one) had been broken for some years (not just the Micro-SD card: even with a fresh new card it would not boot), but I didn’t bother as my WiFi network was configured well enough.
But then I had to do some configurations and found out newer Cloud Key iterations have their issues well: batteries dying, hard-disks failing, you name it.
[Wayback/Archive] Unifi Network Controller replaced with Network Application ? | Ubiquiti Community
UI Marketing department decided to change the name. However, depending on the version you are on now, the new versions make a lot of changes to the UI as well as the operation of the APs.
Then I discovered you do not need to run it on either hardware or docker container (the latter I know because of [Wayback/Archive] Die wunderbare Welt von Isotopp), you can now also run it on various other host operating systems:

Some links on the Archive Today controversy and steps I need to take on this blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/08/11
In nerd space, there is a big Archive Today controversy which comes down to these two things:
- They used their captcha mechanism to have their end-users DDoS a party that they had a dispute with
- They altered archived content
Over the last half year or so I noticed an increase in captaches, which skyrocketed over the last couple of weeks. My speculation is that this has to do with the controversy.
Their actions blew up far enough for Wikipedia to actively started replacing almost 700k links to archived content hosted on various domains of the Archive Today platform with content by other archival sites.
For my blog, with some 10k published and scheduled blog posts, my estimate is that I would need to replace at least 100k links: an effort that I cannot perform with the energy levels left after my cancer treatments in 2020.
What I can do is for future posts to use other archival sites, of which this is a short-list (all to their Wikipedia entries):

Vehicle-to-Grid: Bidirektionales Laden lässt Akkus am stärksten altern – Golem.de

[Wayback/Archive] Vehicle-to-Grid: Bidirektionales Laden lässt Akkus am stärksten altern – Golem.de
Dass sich über smartes oder bidirektionales Laden Geld sparen lässt, ist aber kaum zu bestreiten. Das ist vor allem dann der Fall, wenn man den eigenen Solarstrom im E-Auto zwischenspeichert und für den Eigenbedarf nutzt. Doch dem steht die Anschaffung einer teuren Wallbox gegenüber.
This corrects the car-market centric article [Wayback/Archive] Bidirektionales Laden beeinträchtigt die Lebensdauer von Elektroauto-Batterien nicht – Sonnenseite – Ökologische Kommunikation mit Franz Alt
Bidirektionales Laden (V2G) wirkt sich nur minimal auf die Gesamtalterung aus und bringt dem E-Autofahrenden einen Mehrwert von 600 Euro pro Jahr.

New and More Screenshot and Screen Recording Keyboard Shortcuts Now Available! – Awesome Screenshot Blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/08/07
From last year, but the blog queue was deep (:
TL;DR: defaults not the same for Chrome and Edge; modifiers differ between Chrome and Edge.
[Wayback/Archive] New and More Screenshot and Screen Recording Keyboard Shortcuts Now Available! – Awesome Screenshot Blog
We’re pleased to announce that version 4.4.32 of our extension introduces convenient keyboard shortcuts for your most-used features.
Default Shortcuts
Function Shortcuts Capture > Visible Part Alt+Shift+V Capture > Full Page Alt+Shift+F Capture > Selected Area Alt+Shift+S Start Recording Desktop Alt+Shift+R …
I was worried it would clash with shortcuts in existing web-sites or extensions, so I was glad the blog post continued explaining how to change the settings in two ways:

Say what? 8 things you shouldn’t – or should – say to a cancer patient – Fred Hutch

[Wayback/Archive] Say what? 8 things you shouldn’t – or should – say to a cancer patient – Fred Hutch
This holds for many non-cancer patients as well, see for instance [Wayback/Archive] How to comfort people to actually make them feel better ? : socialskills.
Every patient is unique, so don’t suggest alternatives unless you have been in exactly the same situation as they are in.
Even then, better than bringing up their disease, ask them how you can help, show your care, sit down and just listen, or talk normal aspects of anyone’s life: hobbies, family, weather, food, etc.
The worst you can do is not being there at all. This is how long lasting friendships end.
For anyone, it is very tiring to talk about a single aspect of their life for each and every day. Not even new moms as the article from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center mentions.

1984 RULES OF NETNEWS DEBATING at We are ALL Rich Rosen…
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/08/06
A while ago, I got reminded of the [Source:/Archive] 1984 RULES OF NETNEWS DEBATING at We are ALL Rich Rosen… that was posted in Newsgroups: net.flame, net.jokes (which had many ROT13 jokes) back more than 40 years ago by the (in)famous – depending on your point of view – Rich Rosen on his site [Wayback/Archive] neurozen.com – Rich Rosen’s web site (which is in a subfolder, I think because of humour, see [Wayback/Archive] Apache Tomcat/7.0.62 – Error report – this Apache Tomcat version 7 is has been end-of-life since the end of March 2021 :).
I regard is as both fun and insightful, fun for instance as all rules are rated “RULE #1”, and insightful for instance as this is a great quote for on a T-shirt:
