If you use xs4all VoIP from any Fritz!Box device, then keep the “Telephone Number Format” for “Country code” on “No”, and “Area code” to “None”:
If you have changed these to “With prefix” like I did:
combined with VoIP settings to block international numbers on the right, then when you dial a number outside your area, you will get a friendly voice telling you “this number is blocked”

The [WayBack] Archiveteam helps the WayBack machine with feeding new content.
You can help that team by running one or more “warrior” virtual machine instances. The VM is distributed as a virtual appliance in an ova file according to the Open Virtualization Format.
That format sounds more generic than it actually is, so the (at the time of writing) archiveteam-warrior-v3-20171013.ova file at [WayBack] Index of /downloads/warrior3/ was created for VirtualBox.X
This meant running it on VMware ESXi or VMware vSphere takes a few steps for patching it, then uploading it to your VMware host.
Since I might want to run the appliance on multiple places or multiple instances, I wanted to have a ready-to-go solution, I created a git repository with both the patch instructions and the update at [WayBack] wiert.me / public / ova / archiveteam-warrior-v3-20171013.ESXi · GitLab.

A while ago, I suggested to WoonVeilig that it would be really great if you could manage multiple of their alarm systems from one smartphone without the need to re-logon.
Use cases for managing two security systems are like:
- managing home and office security systems
- managing your own security system, and that of a family member in need
- managing the systems of both your permanent and vacation home
Right now, this is not possible from the WoonVeilig app, but there is a little trick to manage 2 systems from one phone.
This tricks works because the WoonVeilig system is developed by Egardia and both [WayBack] WoonVeilig and [WayBack] Egardia use the same back-end, despite their management sites being slightly different:
This also means that if you want to fiddle with the systems, searching for egardia will get you far more results than for woonveilig.
So the trick is to install two apps, and use different credentials for each app. This allows you to manage two security systems at once:

They are much stronger than plastic threads, no matter how you create the plastic threads.
To make them even stronger, add shell thickness to the thread locations, either globally or by using modifier meshes. Modifier meshes work way better in Cura than in Slic3r.

Most searches for “ASCII emoticons” get you Unicode ones:
Luckily most are ASCII in List of emoticons – Wikipedia.
There are also shortcodes, which do not visually represent an emoji, but usually get translated to the image or Unicode character.
A few lists on them:

I wrote about SuperMicro mainboards and IPMIView recently, but that ran only on Windows and Linux. Since I focus my desktop mainly on MacOS, and never on Linux, I did not want to use the Windows IPMView (though it did work most of the time).
Not having a MacOS version sounded odd, as there was an iOS version:
[WayBack] Supermicro IPMIView on the App Store “This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.”
A quick search made me find a few links:
The last one looked most promising, so I forked it.
Following the steps already made me write down a few notes for changes in the README.md file.
But then I bumped into a strange error when wanting to use the KVM Console from IPMIView, as it threw the same error all the time:
".jre/Contents/Home/bin/java": error=2, No such file or directory
I made a quick note in [WayBack] KVM Console cannot start due to java not found · Issue #1 · jpluimers/IPMIView.app · GitHub:
When starting a KVM Console, you get this error:
".jre/Contents/Home/bin/java": error=2, No such file or directoryTry to fix this.
Later I dug a bit deeper, and managed to fix it in the script steps of the README.md:
git clone https://github.com/TheCase/IPMIView.app
pushd IPMIView.app/
mkdir -p Resources/IPMIView
pushd Resources/IPMIView/
tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/IPMIView*.tar.gz --strip=1
pushd jre/
mkdir -p Contents/Home/bin
pushd Contents/Home/bin
ln -s `which java` java
popd
popd
popd
popd
rsync -avlo IPMIView.app/ ~/Applications/IPMIView.app/
Of course I ran into another problem on one of my SuperMicro machines: the KVM Console would consistently crash. Luckily that was solved by a IPMI Firmware Upgrade:
[WayBack] java – Supermicro IPMIView KVM Console does not work at all – Server Fault
The problem was the firmware for the IPMI on these boards was too old (not the same as the BIOS – updating the BIOS will not help in this case). Digging around SuperMicro’s site (never did get a reply from them), I found the Firmware Revision of 3.20 & was able to install it. On the IPMI device tab, under “Device Information”, you should see: Firmware Revision 3.20 IPMI Revision: 2.0 I can now see the KVM Console in both the IPMIView software

[WayBack] Undo changes to a hidden changes item from CLI – General – Plastic SCM Community.
Maybe I should start an undocumented Plastic SCM series just like I did for Delphi. (:
As soon as you have entries in your hidden_changes.conf, then entries matching will show up in your Plastic SCM GUI, but not included in the cm status --all command.
Luckily there is an the --hiddenchanged switch (maybe to keep naming inconsistent with the hidden_changes.conf file) which is only documented in cm changed --help, not on-line).
So my new cm-show-status.bat file contains this line:
cm status --all --hiddenchanged %*
Maybe more switches can be deducted from [WayBack] Plastic SCM version control · The Plastic SCM API: GET PENDING CHANGES IN WORKSPACE:
GET PENDING CHANGES IN WORKSPACE
GET /api/v1/wkspaces/:wkname/changesParameters
