Het tekenen van de Eindrekening en verantwoording » Zumpolle Advocaten
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/02
Voor mijn link-archief:
Het ondertekenen van de Eindrekening en verantwoording is een vorm van décharge en dat houdt in dat de oude bewindvoerder door de nieuwe bewindvoerder gevrijwaard wordt van aansprakelijkheid voor het gevoerde bewind.

GitHub – spotDL/spotify-downloader: Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/01
Need to check the matching algorithm of [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – spotDL/spotify-downloader: Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).
I wanted to download [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits – song and lyrics by Michael Giacchino | Spotify for music practice, but then found Michael listed it on his YouTube channel twice:
A bit later I also found [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits – Transcription (with original score) – YouTube with [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits Sheet Music for Piano, Trombone, Tuba, Flute piccolo & more instruments (Symphony Orchestra) | MuseScore.com
Via [Wayback/Archive] Youtube-dl supports Spotify. How to use it? : youtubedl.

ssl – Why was 398 days chosen for TLS expiration? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/01
Cool, since I switched to Let’s Encrypt a long while ago, I missed that various tools now require TLS expiration be no longer than 398 days away (and preferably even 397 days).
So I also missed the reason for that specific number of days. [Wayback/Archive] ssl – Why was 398 days chosen for TLS expiration? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] stevendesu and [Wayback/Archive] user10063)
answers it:
366+31+1 = 398 days
It equals one leap year + one month + “a little room to handle the messiness of dates.”
then posts a lot of quotes from references to the history on how that reason came to be. I have archived and listed the links below.
Most of the discussion was during a very hectic time in life: after a single sided bad accident my mentally retarded brother was in and assisting him during his recovery period, I developed cancer and had extensive treatments against it. All the more reason for missing all this:

It died, but longer ladders will be there: 12ft – Wikipedia
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/31
From 12ft – Wikipedia:
On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.
It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):

Missing C3/C4 on IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/29
I do like the [Wayback/Archive] IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline ¹, but it lacks combo C3/C4 plug/inlet:
C3 C4 From: IEC 60320 – Wikipedia (and yes: I had an old radio in my youth requiring this plug)
I bumped into the reference chart because I forgot the search term IEC 60320, and therefore searching my earlier blog posts on it ².
I did remember C13/C14 (normal appliance couplers) and C19/C20 (higher power device couplers), so I used the query [Wayback/Archive] c20 c19 amperage – Google Search giving me this table: Read the rest of this entry »

I was living under a stone: Rufus has gotten some learned some great Windows 11 tricks in 2022
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/29
I totally agree with [Wayback/Archive] Dustin (BusySignal) on Twitter: “when did the disk utility rufus become so awesome?” as Rufus 3.20 has added these Windows User Experience features when creating bootable Windows installation media:
- Remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0
- Remove requirement for an online Microsoft account
- Disable data collection (Skip privacy questions)
- Set a local account using the same name as this user’s
- Set regional options using the same values as this user’s
So below are some links explaining more about this feature (and how it is implemented).

Temperature controlled fans usable for DIGITUS Professional Network Wall Housing – Soho Wall Cabinet: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/26
TL;DR: avoid Digitus AC fans, but use DC case fans with built-in/external temperature controller plus 12V or USB-step-up power supply and optionally fan grilles/meshes.
A while ago, I bought a 7U shallow 19-inch rack cabinet to house some of our network equipment for the offices and other rooms at the top floor: [Wayback/Archive] DIGITUS Professional Network Wall Housing – Soho Wall Cabinet: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
Since it was to be mounted in the boiler room, which is on the top floor under a flat roof, it would get warm so I wanted fans installed in it under or over the air vents in the housing (the cabinet is delivered as flat-pack with parts pictured below and requires about half an hour assembly time):

Currently, the Wayback Machine is having issues from The Netherlands, but hopefully their archivals appear to be complete when the Wayback Machine gets fully up again.
