A while ago, I documented some links for In case I ever need to record calls on my Fritz!Box devices.
By now, I’ve done a bit more investigation: I’ve enabled the call monitor, did some port scans, installed domoticz and got deeper into fritzcap.
Oh and I got packet capturing to work too: Fritz!Box – capture network packets in Wireshark format or ISDN in dtrace format.
A small recap so I don’t forget what I did and what the effects were.
[WayBack] Fritzbox – Domoticz showed how to enable the CallMonitor option in your Fritz!Box
#96*5* to enable (response “CallMonitor On”)#96*4* to disable (response “CallMonitor Off”)fritzcap.

Right now my sendmail configuration handling my domains have one queue directory /var/spool/mqueue which means that each round of the queue processing handles all the outgoing mail in succession.
This is getting less OK because of the increased mail volume over time both on mail that gets in and needs to be forwarded and mail that needs to be bounced for various reasons like SPAM.
So below are some links helping me to sort out various things including having multiple queues (as then each round can handle each queue in parallel).
The default sendmail configuration is one mail queue and I hope to find out for what reason that is.

Bumped into a place where the only external monitor was a [WayBack] Samsung C27F390FHU Zwart – Kenmerken – Tweakers
Dislike because:
Images from [WayBack] Samsung C27F390 27-Inch Curved LED Monitor – HDMI, VGA: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories below the fold.
Higher resolutions – not just 4K – have been readily available since before this monitor was introduced march 2016 [WayBack] Samsung unveils new CF591 and CF390 curved monitors

A friend of mine tried to get screen mirror (now called “Smart View”) from a Samsung S7 Edge to a Chromecast 2 working, but the connection would time out each try (but not when casting regular content using the Google Home app): try rebooting your S7 Edge.
Got that reboot tip and renamed functionality thanks to the somewhat related [WayBack] Galaxy S7: How to Screen Mirror to any Samsung Smart TV:
In order to connect (screen mirror) you Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge to your Samsung smart TV you need to swipe down to open your notification area, then on the top right click that little down arrow then select “smart view”. Previous Galaxy phones called it screen mirror, not sure why Samsung changed the name in the S7.
Got the renamed functionality via the video below.

For my link archive:
Via: [WyBack] Are there blank characters in unicode that have the same widths as period, comma and digits? – Lars Fosdal – Google+
Answer: no, though better fonts have period, comma, colon, semicolon and other punctuations the same width as the punctuation space.
The use-case:
I wanted right justified text without having to do custom positioning/drawing – where the decimal zero is white space.F.x. here 12 instead of 12.0
9.5
11.6
12 <– #$2008 and #$2007
13.4I.e. PunctuationSpace and FigureSpace
I don’t want to deal with positioning/rendering since it happens inside a third party component.

You can capture network packets on a Fritz!Box for any interface by:
dtrace parameters in the edit boxExample URL: 192.168.178.1/html/capture.html
Note it’s ISDN [WayBack] Dtrace – Fritz!Box, not nx kernel [WayBack] DTrace – Wikipedia
I’ve seen this on these devices:
Note there are tons of tools allowing to capture from various scripting languages:

I was shocked reading [WayBack] An alternative to Session Buddy: “Tabs Backup & Restore” · Issue #742 · deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender · GitHub: the save frequency is about 1 per browser restart. Which is quite odd when you use it to protect against tabs messing up (it happens, right when you do not expect it, after which a “Restore” by chrome fails too).
So after years of using
[Archive.is] Session Buddy – Chrome Web Store: Manage Browser Tabs and Bookmarks with Ease
I have switched away to
[WayBack] Tabs Backup & Restore – Chrome Web Store: With ‘Tabs Backup & Restore’ you will never lose your work again! Backup an entire Chrome session (windows and tabs).
