I love the way it shows “Duden Offline”

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/04

This does not happen often, and I found the way that [WayBack] Duden Offline is indicated hilarious!

It’s just a “basic” HTML page showing the meaning of “Wartung” (German word for Maintenance).

Duden is het German equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Not all of the huge site was gone. Part of the “Rechtschreibung” was still there, including the Wikipedia entry (:

I wonder what that one shows during maintenance (:

Terminating a script in PowerShell – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/03

I have the same problem mentioned in the answer to [WayBack] Terminating a script in PowerShell – Stack Overflow: confused by most answers, and keeping to forget what each method means (there is Exit, Return, Break and (if you love exception handling to do simple flow control), Throw.

So here is the full quote of what [WayBack] User New Guy answered:

Some links on SMTP tar-pit to lessen SPAM

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/03

Some links for my archive; note that pure tar-pits by now are also hampering large email sender services like SendGrid, Mailgun and Amazon SES.

So the below links are for educational and historic purposes only.

I assembled these links because out of a sudden, Ring 2FA verification emails could not be delivered any more.

Ring 2FA came mandatory towards the end of February 2020.

Some links on that:

Frontiers | Autism, Joint Hypermobility-Related Disorders and Pain | Psychiatry

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/01

For my link archive:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Joint Hypermobility-Related Disorders are blanket terms for two etiologically and clinically heterogeneous groups of pathologies that usually appears in childhood. These conditions are seen by different medical fields, such as psychiatry in the case of ASD, and musculoskeletal disciplines and genetics in the case of hypermobility-related disorders. Thus, a link between them is rarely established in clinical setting, despite a scarce but growing body of research suggesting that both conditions co-occur more often than expected by chance. Hypermobility is a frequent sign of hereditary disorders of connective tissue (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Marfan syndrome), on which the main characteristic is the multisystem fragility that prone to proprioceptive and motor coordination dysfunction hence to trauma and chronic pain. Considering the high probability that pain remains disregarded and untreated in people with ASD due to communication and methodological difficulties, increasing awareness about the interconnection between ASD and hypermobility-related disorders is relevant, since it may contribute to identify those ASD patients vulnerable to suffer from pain.

NTLM proxy authentication and Dropbox: need to try NTLMAPS and cntlm

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/01

Interesting:

Some corporate networks are behind HTTP proxy servers that use NTLM authentication. Dropbox currently doesn’t support this kind of proxy authentication. However, some users have reported some success using an intermediate proxy, such as [WayBack] NTLMAPS or [WayBackcntlm, to get Dropbox running on their network.

This article explains steps on various systems to install proxies that support NTLM authentication: [WayBackAllow Dropbox to Authenticate With a NTLM Proxy Server – The Unofficial Dropbox Wiki.

Need to try these. Maybe they work for Copy.com too (:

Some other links around HTTP Fiddler that might be relevant:     Read the rest of this entry »

During next night, it is time to move the clock, hopefully for the last time

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/30

Wasn’t the European Union going to stop moving clocks twice a year? Yup, as of it 2021 it should have stopped with the [Wayback] Seasonal clock change in the EU | Mobility and Transport.

But then Brexit came along, followed by Covid-19, and earlier 2021, this happened: [Wayback] Clock stops on EU plan to scrap daylight savings time

Contentious move to abolish mandatory seasonal clock changes ‘not top priority now’

So tomorrow it is winter time again, and we need to move the clock, hopefully for the last time, but  hopefully not like in the mirror of the Dutch comic DirkJan – Wikipedia by [WayBackAnnelies Hofstede on Twitter: “… “, which is done transitioning to Winter time – Wikipedia:

This is the original summer time version of the DirkJan comic:

Background information and similar comics are at Likely the end of a tradition… ᴊᴏᴏsᴛ su Twitter: “Dear Mr. Juncker, you may not know this but here in Holland we have Dirk-Jan and it is tradition to read this comic twice a year don’t take this away from us it’s the only non-racist tradition we have!!!! Please!!!!!…”.
