[Wayback/Archive] Why do we call it “boilerplate code?” • Buttondown (via [Wayback/Archive] Hillel on Twitter: “New newsletter! “Why do we call it boilerplate code” is a short history of the term, traced through the industrial revolution and rise of modern newspapers.”).

Het overkomt te vaak dat barcodes beschadigd of overplakt zijn (hallo Too Good to Go, hallo “samen minder verspillen” van Jumbo en vergelijkbare acties)
Daarom wat barcodes van producten die je er overheen kunt plakken:

Now that Python 2 has been dead for long enough (has it been unsupported for 5 years? yes it has: [Wayback/Archive] Status of Python Versions), it was finally time to change my alias for running a local web-server to serve files from a directory (:
So, from [Wayback/Archive] What is the Python 3 equivalent of “python -m SimpleHTTPServer” – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] ryanbraganza, [Wayback/Archive] k.avinash and [Wayback/Archive] Petr Viktorin):
python -m http.server 8000, it will start the server on port 8000

This is cool and scary at the same time, especially since I knew about other privileges (SeDebugPrivilege comes to mind).
Granted you need to be local administrator for this, but still: for some tasks you do not need to elevate in the traditional way, but just give your current token more privileges.

Via [WaybackSave/Archive] Grzegorz Tworek on X: “Friendly Reminder: If you have admin privileges but lack the necessary file permissions, you can leverage the SeBackup/SeRestore privileges directly from cmd.exe! There’s no need to elevate to LocalSystem, duplicate TrustedInstaller, or use similar methods. Simply enable the …”

The below example is in Excel, but it holds for many other drawing tools in other office suites as well (like the ones in OpenOffice and successors like LibreOffice, Apple Pages in iWork, and others from the list of office suites):
(you can exchange steps 2 and 3 if you wish, and even go for more complex shapes – including ones where you can add corner points – to better fit the area where you want the distorted screenshot to appear).

If I ever need old Geocities material then I should check back at oocities and other archival efforts as they have archived a truckload of it and (unlike the the Archive.org geocities arvhive) are indexed by public search engines.
Their archive home page is [Wayback/Archive] Geocities Archive Geocities Mirror / The 90s Archive (1990s 2000s nineties) / The Early web of which I quote a few bits:
- Special Thanks goes to all the editors and webmasters who made this project alive by updating their old links every day
from * geocities.com/*
to *.oocities.com/*- oocities.com/org, geocities.ws, reocities.com, internetarchaeology.org, webcitation.org, deletedcity.net
Adding some domains from Yahoo! GeoCities: Archiving efforts – Wikipedia, these are publicly indexed archival sites that have parts of old Geocities content (part of which might be gone by the time you read this: web sites and their content become increasingly ephemeral):
