Reminder to self: Local Guides Nederland moved their [WayBack] G+ community over to [WayBack] Local Guides Connect – Help Desk – Local Guides Connect which is part of [WayBack] Local Guides Connect and powered by [WayBack] Powered by Lithium | Lithium.
Since that is not part of any other social media platform I subscribe to, I will likely only see new stuff when I actively go to that place: hopefully that is more than once a year.

This week, Google introduced the [WayBack] Phishing Quiz, a series of questions to see how good you spot phishing emails.
It is a perfect example on why Google AMP is a bad idea: it makes it easier to write phishing mail targeting Google users.
One of the questions is about a password change email seemingly from Google with a link by Google.
The link is really deceptive, as it:
This will deceive a lot of people as they are trained to look at the main domain to assess authenticity: google.com
That combined with an email domain that also looks being from Google (with so many real word top-level domains, many would not be surprised getting email from no-reply@google.support)
Just look at the below screenshot to see how deceptively this trick is.

Another follow up on Life after Google+ – Lars Fosdal:
[WayBack] GitHub – RomainVialard/Google-Plus-Community-Migrator
This repository presents a way to export posts from a Google+ community (in this case the Google Apps Script community), along with comments & likes (plusones) using the Google+ REST API and import them in a Firebase Database, then use Firebase Hosting to display those posts. To see a live result, simply open this URL: https://apps-script-community-archive.firebaseapp.com/
It depends on the G+ REST API (so it will die earlier than G+ itself) and hosts on Google.

A little while ago, I blogged about Life after Google+ – Lars Fosdal. In the mean time, Lars has made a lot of progress exporting the community [WayBack] Delphi Developers – Google+ (which has moved to en.delphipraxis.net !).
He is a heavy user of the Friends+Me Google+ Export tool, which basically is an actively maintained web scraper with standard output targets:
[WayBack] Google Plus Exporter – Medium: Export your Google+ feeds to WordPress, Blogger, and JSON.
It does not depend on the G+ REST API: “the app is using web scraping and will keep working until the bitter end”.
Quite a bit of that information and the feedback he has is in this thread: [WayBack1/WayBack2] Hi Everyone, We’ve just released Google+ Exporter, an application that helps you to export your Google+ feeds (profile, pages, collections, communities… – Friends+Me – Google+
Of course G+ does not save the whole thread in the WayBack machine, so here it is copy-pasted (unformatted; maybe I will format it later):

Using OpenSuSE Tumbleweed E20 on Raspberry Pi 3: accessing the enlightenment desktop over VNC after automatic logon I wanted to buy an on-line read-only diary to help my mentally retarded brother see what his next few days are going to be like.
He increasingly has difficulty handling a paper agenda and has an agenda with 30 minute blocks like [Archive.is] bol.com | Bureau Agenda 2017 – 1 dag per Pagina | 0041560163422 | Boeken (and the [Archive.is] picture on the right), but actually he needs 15 minute blocks during some portions of the day.
We call that kind “bureau agenda” which I think translates well into “desk diary”.
They were quite different from the agendas I used to have at school (:
[WayBack] [Zonder titel] Rijam agenda 1983/84 verzamelen? Stripcatalogus op Catawiki
For most school mates, they were more like this:
Had je een O’Neill of ging je voor De Familie Doorzon? De oude agenda’s uit je middelbare schooltijd zijn de verpersoonlijking van je eigen puber-ik. Afgelopen weekend startte in het Nationaal Onderwijsmuseum in Dordrecht de toffe tentoonstelling Grow Up over die vuistdikke, volgeplakte agenda’s.
Anyway, some ideas I initially had are below.
This is what I actually did:
iframe as per [Archive.is] Boyden, Mark – Embedding Google Calendars – Programming – Content andiframe heights as when you specify 100% it will shrink to the height of the content. For full screen height, the 100vh (ViewportHeight) seems to do the trick as per [WayBack] javascript – Full-screen iframe with a height of 100% – Stack Overflow and [WayBack] CSS Values and Units Module Level 3: Viewport-percentage lengths: the vw, vh, vmin, vmax unitsTwo things for the future:
Raspberry based:
mode, wkst, etc).Chromecast based:

The biggest lie I tell myself is “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it”
It’s likely older, but the oldest reference I could find was 2012 [WayBack].
So before I forget:
Happy New Year everyone!
With the above quote, it is no coincidence I started my blog even earlier (in 2009): it’s my off-line memory, way better readable than my hand-writing and indexed by various search engines.
