A truckload of links which I need for some Bookmarklets work

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/31

A while ago, browser tabs were overflowing again so I first mad the list of links with quotes below, then discovered there is a template for many browser tabs open at [Wayback/Archive] To many browser tabs open Meme Generator – Imgflip

One of the reasons is that the WordPress “Press This” bookmarklet is very slow and also flaky at escaping HTML (for instance the below html – Why shouldn’t &amp;apos; be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow sometimes becomes html – Why shouldn’t <code>'</code> be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow in [Wayback/Archive] Press This – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org especially when running it from Archive Today archived pages).

So here we go: Read the rest of this entry »

Belastingdienst: Postadres doorgeven

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/30

Edit 20250213: let op! Op MacOS met Preview: vul niet het formulier als formulier in, maar gebruik text-annotations voor de tekstvelden. Want anders ben je met printen 80% van je informatie kwijt

Edit 20250830: vul bij “Uw huidige adres” het nieuwe adres in (de betekenis van “Uw huidige adres” is bij invullen voor het verhuizen anders dan na het verhuizen; de belastingdienst gaat er vanuit dat het na het verhuizen wordt ingevuld)

Zie screenshots onderaan de blogpost afkomstig van [WaybackSave/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “Screenshots: – links met … van @Belastingdienst ingevuld om een postadres door te geven – rechts wat er uit de printer komt (of print naar PDF) MacOS.

Radio 10 Webcam – Radio 10 Live beeld – MyOnlineRadio

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/27

De enige Radio 10 live video stream die ik kon vinden was [Wayback/Archive] Radio 10 Webcam – Radio 10 Live beeld – MyOnlineRadio.

Zijn er meer?

De reden was dat ik Matijn ook weer eens live wilde zien na zijn vertrek bij Radio 2 (alleen luisteren is soms ook wat saai).

How Discord Supercharges Network Disks for Extreme Low Latency

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/27

A while ago there was an interesting point of using tiered md to both obtain low read latency and write safety on the Google Cloud Platform in [Wayback/Archive] How Discord Supercharges Network Disks for Extreme Low Latency

It is an interesting approach to universally tune performance within the sketched boundaries, but raised some questions as their aim was improving ScyllaDB performance and Unix-like platforms on Google Cloud Platform can supports ZFS.

In this case Discord wanted to improve their ScyllaDB that was already read/written from GCP Persistent Storage and used tiered md to improve that.

HInvoke and avoiding PInvoke | drakonia’s blog

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/26

On my research list [Wayback/Archive] HInvoke and avoiding PInvoke | drakonia’s blog.

A very minimalistic approach of calling .net runtime functions or accessing properties using only hashes as identifiers. It does not leave any strings or import references since we dynamically resolve the required member from the mscorlib assembly on runtime.

Some thoughts and experience by isotopp on solar panels and batteries

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/23

For my link archive the thread leading up to [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: “@mterwoord @mausdompteur Das ist ein 15 kWh LFP-Klotz, der Problemlos ins Kabuff neben den Inverter passt und nicht im Weg ist. Nachdem ich nun noch einmal 21% BTW von den 10100 Euro Solarpanels zurück bekommen habe wäre das Ding also praktisch unter 5000 Euro zu haben. Ein No-Brainer quasi.”

redox – Acetic(vinegar) and citric acid as the rust remover – Chemistry Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/20

There are alternatives. One trick is to get the chloride, sulfate, or nitrate into solution by using a compound other than the acid. For instance, adding sodium chloride to a solution of citric acid should make the citric acid more aggressive, and yet, won’t change the pH. (One reason for this is that FeCl3FeCl3 is more soluble than the iron citrate.)
