Packet Sender is a good tool when debugging protocols: free utility to send & receive network packets. TCP, UDP, SSL

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/07

It was fitting to bump into [WayBack] Packet Sender is a good tool when debugging protocols…” Written by Dan Nagle… – Lars Fosdal – Google+ on the day presenting [WayBack] Conferences/Network-Protocol-Security.rst at master · jpluimers/Conferences · GitHub

It also means that libssh2-delphi is getting a bit more love soon and will move to github as well after a conversion from mercurial.

Some of the things I learned or got confirmed teaching the session (I love learning by teaching):

Here is some more info:

#Tech45 – Nederlandstalige tech-podcast

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/05

Al een jaar of wat volg ik de Nederlandstalige #Tech45 podcast van tech45.eu:

Tech45 is een wekelijkse technologiepodcast. In minstens 45 minuten loodst een panel je door het interessantste technieuws van de voorbije week.

Ze hebben altijd een leuke titel zoals bijvoorbeeld de eerste van 2016: [WayBackTech45 #322: Ik heb eigenlijk alleen maar slechte voornemens

Wees niet verbaast als het ineens 60 of 80 minuten duurt en vol humor zit. Meestal luister ik ook na afloop en soms meerdere episodes achter elkaar.

Misschien is de nieuwe layout al af, zo niet dan staat het experiment op [WayBackhttp://43.tech45.eu/

»Smart car = vulnerable car Smart watch = vulnerable watch Smart home =…

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/02

I wonder what has become of Hypponen’s law:

Whenever an appliance is described as being “smart”, it’s vulnerable.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/01

For my link archive: [WayBackZorgkantoor Zorg en Zekerheid: Zorgbeschrijvingen en zorgovereenkomsten

Note: the meta description in the page HTML mentions AWBZ but should mention WLZ:

<meta name=”descriptioncontent=”Website van de Zorgkantoren Zuid-Holland Noord &amp; Amstelland en de Meerlanden, met informatie over de AWBZ, het zorgaanbod in de regio, zorgverstrekking en eigen bijdrage, het persoons gebonden budget etc. Het zorgkantoor is verantwoordelijk voor de uitvoering van AWBZ-zorg in de regio.” />

YouTube videos in Markdown – via Markdown Cheatsheet · adam-p

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/28

Clever, as I didn’t know you could directly refer to the YouTube preview image using the “/0.jpg” trick:

Youtube videos

They can’t be added directly but you can add an image with a link to the video like this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE
" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE/0.jpg" 
alt="IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE" width="240" height="180" border="10" /></a>

Or, in pure Markdown, but losing the image sizing and border:

[![IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE](http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE)

Source: [WayBackMarkdown Cheatsheet · adam-p/markdown-here Wiki · GitHub

Gif using gifs.com

If you allow using resources outside of YouTube, then you can use gifs.com to render the video into a gif image and use that image in the above construct.

I tried that with a few seconds from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHOpw55TI-U which resulted in https://gifs.com/gif/liquid-prompt-Lg1kPp and the gif file https://j.gifs.com/Lg1kPp.gif

[WayBack] Omg this is awesome. Synchronize settings etc between Atom installs!https://atom.io/packages/sync-settings#atomio – Roderick Gadellaa – Google+

I revisited this and it’s awesome.

Note that – as usual – when you sync settings for packages that have external dependencies, these dependencies depend on your platform of choice.

Which means that if for instance depend on Pandoc and you use both a Mac and Windows, you need Pandoc installations plus all dependencies on those platforms before syncing your settings.
