Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/05

[Wayback/Archive] Irrational measuring stick: The Venn Diagram of pseudoscientific nonsense – Genetic Literacy Project has some explanation on the incarnation of the below cool diagram on various incarnations of four basic sets or bollocks: Religion, Quackery, Pseudoscience and the Paranormal. The center of the diagram should not surprise anyone:

How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/04

I used [Wayback/Archive] How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub to go

The reason I needed it is that for quite a while now, GitHub has started to display PDF files as preview, and modified the download behaviour to get a blob: link instead of the actual raw file download location.

On the to do list:

  1. figure out the same for raw files in gists
  2. figure out the same for GitLab
  3. convert these into Bookmarklets (fiddle with the bold parts in the above URLs)

Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Lotaristo (Czeslaw Meyer) and [Wayback/Archive] byrneh (Hugh Byrne)

Launch Settings Pages using ms-settings URL shortcuts » Winhelponline

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/03

This post from 2023 [Wayback/Archive] Launch Settings Pages using ms-settings URL shortcuts » Winhelponline

This list will tremendously help me quickly navigating directly to Windows settings pages.

In case the list is not complete, there are others lists – like [Wayback/Archive] Windows 11 ms-settings Commands (Settings URI Shortcuts) – which I found via the second query.

Maybe one day, I will merge the results of a few of those results. If so, a new blog post will follow.

Got the first via a late edit of my blog post gsudo (sudo for windows).

Queries:

Buddy (software) – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/03

Interesting: Buddy (software) – Wikipedia

Buddy (also known as Buddy.Works) is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery software for Git developers that can be used to buildtest and deploy web sites and applications with code from GitHubBitbucket and GitLab. It employs Docker containers with pre-installed languages and frameworks for builds, alongside DevOps, monitoring and notification actions.

On my list of things to try in case built-in GitGub and GitLab functionality does not suffice my needs any more.

I wonder how well it runs on ARM architecture.

Gelukkig heeft de Nederlandse pagina Koperdraad: Gegevens – Wikipedia deze tabel (let op weerstand is per 100m!)¹

Security alarm provider Woonveilig/Egardia really needs to work on their notifications towards end-users: outages are too frequend and not communicationed on to their customers

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/01

This was no incident:

[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “Als zowel @WoonVeilig als @Egardia op 2 verschillende systemen een systeemtest failure geven en de apps 500-errors weet je dat hun infrastructuur plat ligt. Al een paar uur geleden, dus heel benieuwd hoe snel ze hun engineers wakker kunnen bellen.”

One of the problem is that Egardia/Woonveilig sees their social media channels as a broadcast-only. You can for instance se this when searching doing a [Wayback/Archive] egardia – Twitter Search or [Wayback/Archive] woonveilig – Twitter Search: no answers from them.

There were similar incidents in the past which I did not document on Twitter, but this outage was so large I had to documented it. So I started the [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App with these images:
