Google Search teamed up with the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine: the good, the bad, the ugly
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/16
tTL;DR: Google Search also (after 3+ manual steps) showing the most recent Wayback Machine archived page for a web-page search result, helps tremendously for pages that are temporarily off-line (everyone knows how stable the cloud – someone else’s computers – or on-premise computing is), but takes too many steps and still doesn’t index the full Wayback Machine.
But there is a Clint Eastwood movie title here, even after the devastating fact that Google now off-loads its Google Cache to the Wayback Machine (which many sites refuse to be archived in), as per [Wayback/Archive] Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead | Ars Technica:
The good

How to check the country that Google associates with your account, and how to change it – gHacks Tech News
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/02
I used the tips in [Wayback/Archive] How to check the country that Google associates with your account, and how to change it – gHacks Tech News to check out why I would get errors on invited family members that they were not in my country. Somehow my better half could join, but my brother and others could not.
Well, bummer as for all accounts:

Great tip by Jen Gentleman on Twitter: “Colour coding all my meetings – seriously I don’t know why I held off for so long, it made my calendar so much easier to read
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/22
Reminder to check out the tools I use so I can go [Wayback/Archive] Jen Gentleman on Twitter: “Colour coding all my meetings – seriously I don’t know why I held off for so long, it made my calendar so much easier to read”
This is the scheme that Jen uses:Β [Wayback/Archive] Jen Gentleman on Twitter: “@melvinjoosten Yeah – I have a lot of recurring meetings, so I use one colour for 1-1s, one colour for big team meetings, and one colour for office hours. It makes it a lot easier to spot the one off meetings which have been added to my calendar (which I leave the default colour)”
or in list form, differentiate between:
- one-on-one
- big team
- office hours
- default (for events added by others)

On my list of tools to try: zhot and tweetzhot (both by Rop Gongrijp and based on puppeteer) to create browser screenshots from the terminal
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/17
The feature reminds me on how archive.today saves content.
Both the zhot and tweetzhot repositories are on my list of tools to try. They might make writing blog posts easier.
They are both based onΒ [Wayback/Archive] puppeteer/puppeteer: Headless Chrome Node.js API
…
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over theΒ DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runsΒ headlessΒ by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.…
It demonstrates headless browser usage and canΒ for instance:
- Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
- Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (i.e. “SSR” (Server-Side Rendering)).
- Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.
- Create an up-to-date, automated testing environment. Run your tests directly in the latest version of Chrome using the latest JavaScript and browser features.
- Capture aΒ timeline traceΒ of your site to help diagnose performance issues.
- Test Chrome Extensions.
Note any headless browser will have some trouble rendering single-page applications.

Does Google Photos allow you to tag faces yet?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/24
Reminder for me to check if Google Photo’s allows you to tag people in individual photo’s.
[WayBack] https://twitter.com/dflieb/status/1146174112890408960:
Yes, I am aware that Google Photo’s apps (on at least Android) allow you to attach names to photo’s is selects as unrecognised.
I mean the other way around: have photo with one or more faces on it, then tag each face by hand.
Via: [WayBack] Google Photos will let you manually tag faces it doesn’t recognize

Henk van Ess on the Google indexing and search algorithms
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/11
Many articles have been published on the Google Leaks earlier this year including a Twitter Thread by Henk van Ess. I will mention his and the original starting article which should give anyone hand and feet to dig deeper and assess for themselves how fast Google might be able to change this and get a feeling on much of it is still relevant over time.

A final note: I wasn’t aware that Google search used the Elixir (programming language) – Wikipedia. Cool!

Is uBlock Origin Lite an alternative to keep using Chrome with manifest V2 deprecated?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/31
Having been a avid uBlock Origin user since when it came out in 2014 even before both Adblock and Adblock Plus headed over to the dark side.
I need to check out if [Wayback/Archive] uBlock Origin Lite is good enough now that Google is phasing out Manifest V2 (on which uBlock Origin and other ad blockers depend to provide full functionality).
When it isn’t, I might switch to Firefox or Brave as it should still support Manifest V2 as per
- [Wayback/Archive] Ublock origin still fine when chrome announced implementation of manifest V3? : uBlockOrigin.
- [Wayback/Archive] Brave Software on X: “We realize many of our users still want to use third-party ad blocker extensions. To give you as many options as possible for online privacy and security, Brave will support Manifest V2 extensions such as uBlock Origin even after Chrome stops doing so.”
Firefox for instance has some drawbacks with input handling when editing WordPress posts which Chromium based web-browsers (including Brave) don’t have.
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] Google’s Manifest V3 changes will soon disable uBlock Origin on Chrome
- [Wayback/Archive] Fefes Blog: Google kΓΌndigt Chrome ab
- [Wayback/Archive] vx-underground on X: “Google confirms they will disable uBlock Origin in Chrome in 2024 More information: “
