Missed the original announcement of [Wayback/Archive] Implement DNS in a weekend
Even after a few years, it is still a fun project to take on.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “it’s fun to see all the different languages people are implementing DNS in a Weekend in (implement-dns.wizardzines.com) — so far I’ve seen C#, Rust, Kotlin, Clojure, Golang, Elixir, Typescript, and Python”

A long time ago, I wrote about Google Search string for either docwiki, Delphi 2007 or Delphi 2009 docs.
Well, not long after Embarcadero totally messed up their DocWiki installation, ditched all DocWiki history cand causing a multi-day DocWiki outage (see The Delphi documentation site docwiki.embarcadero.com has been down/up oscillating for 4 days is now down for almost a day.), they also killed their (then still working) Docs server (containing all the Delphi 2007 and Delphi 2009 documentation).
That means the search strings in my previous blog post mentioned above do not work any more. The only way to find back that kind of documentation is through old blog posts (those usually are in the various Web Search Engine indexes), or through the Wayback Machine.
What Embarcadero also did not do is cooperate with the people at the Internet Archive to ensure the docs server was completely archived in the Wayback Machine. Since about Delphi 2010, their behaviour has been ticking boxes in the product feature matrices instead of tickling their users with great user experience including understanding what ensuring history is available actually means.

Ever since Chris Hesik spoke on “RAD Studio 2010 what’s new in the IDE debugger”, wanted to write a blog post about it.
Still haven’t found time to do that in depth, but it’s important to at least jot a few notes, so let’s start with the 20111020 conference session notes.

PS: te laat gepubliceerd, want “Missed Schedule” omdat WordPress.com een beperking van 100 geplande artikelen in de wachtrij heeft. Een probleem dat ze al sinds 2012 niet opgelost hebben.

Reminder to self: [Wayback/Archive] Hacker Hosting
HackerHosting biedt Hackers, die samenkomen in hackerspaces, in hotels en op campings de mogelijkheid om te genieten van hoge kwaliteit hosting in Nederland, tegen een tarief waarvoor zelfs ‘kippenschuur-hosters’ en ‘brandgevaarlijke-datacenter-hosters’ het niet doen.

I mention dead links a lot, and always try to archive content before scheduling it in a blog post.
No different for [Wayback/Archive] Some URLs Are Immortal, Most Are Ephemeral, which provides background information about how the short lifespan of most URLs.
Their 2024 publication was a poster in PNG and PTTX format (linked below under the abstract), so I created this PDF out of it:

For a while now, after initially displaying archived Google Search results, it changes the Wayback Machine archival URL after displaying.
Examples:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230322163526/https://www.google.com/web/20230322163526/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+last+delimiterhttps://web.archive.org/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+textafter+textbefore+textsplit+site:https:%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2F&google_abuse=GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION%3DID%3D3020867903a1f6fa:TM%3D1679426832:C%3D%3E:IP%3D207.241.225.236-:S%3DTSrpWMPwWKoNpiXh-oD21Q%3B+path%3D/%3B+domain%3Dgoogle.com%3B+expires%3DTue,+21-Mar-2023+22:27:12+GMThttps://web.archive.org/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+textafter+textbefore+textsplit+site:https:%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2F&google_abuse=GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION%3DID%3D3020867903a1f6fa:TM%3D1679426832:C%3D%3E:IP%3D207.241.225.236-:S%3DTSrpWMPwWKoNpiXh-oD21Q%3B+path%3D/%3B+domain%3Dgoogle.com%3B+expires%3DTue,+21-Mar-2023+22:27:12+GMTI want to write a Bookmarklet that fixes these.
There is not much in the results of
[Wayback/Archive] “GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION” “Wayback” – Google Search, but I think this happens when there is a high frequency Google Search archivals from the Wayback Machine.

Het was me al een tijdje opgevallen dat ik nauwelijks meer fysieke post van Movir kreeg.
Ik dacht aan een probleem bij de post, maar het bleek erger:
Toen ik een tijd terug een on-line profiel aangemaakt had ik een PDF van mijn profiel gemaakt zodat ik wist wat er was geregisteerd.
Daarin stond “Communicatievoorkeur Per post”.

Dit is net zo nalatig als de Odildo hack waar alle klantgegevens mee op straat kwamen te liggen: [Wayback/Archive] Odido-router verzamelt analytics van je huishouden
Bevindingen in het kort
- De Odido-router haalt bij een nieuwe WAN-verbinding een bash-script op over een onversleutelde HTTP-verbinding.
- Je kan dit script manipuleren om een root shell op je router te krijgen.
- Als je TLS-verkeer mitm’t zie je analytics-data over de lijn gaan; de scripters hebben TLS-validatie uitgezet (`curl -k`) dus je kan dit ‘versleutelde’ analytics-verkeer inzien.
- Je router stuurt namen en MAC-adressen van devices in je huis door naar Lifemote. Verder deelt het ding de SSID’s en MAC-adressen van WiFi-netwerken in de buurt. En wat analytics-stats over je dataverbruik. Lifemote adverteert met “AI-Powered Home Wi-Fi Solutions for ISPs”. Het voelt wat vies dat zij AI’s gaan trainen met data uit mijn huishouden. Daar vind ik wat van.
