While migrating from iTunes on one machine to Apple Music on another one, I needed to migrate part of the (disorganised) playlists.
I knew there was a binary ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl file, but that is encoded or encrypted, making it hard to parse.
Luckily there is also ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml which I found via the links below.

Finally an easier way to convert Office documents (and other formats) to markdown: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – microsoft/markitdown: Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown. (after Google added a Markdown export feature to Google Docs about half a year ago, and basic Markdown formatting about 2 years ago – see below):
There are quite a few dependencies in [Wayback/Archive] markitdown/pyproject.toml at main · microsoft/markitdown · GitHub, so be prepared for that.
Supported formats (added links for clarity):
The MarkItDown library is a utility tool for converting various files to Markdown (e.g., for indexing, text analysis, etc.)
It presently supports:
- PDF (.pdf)
- PowerPoint (.pptx)
- Word (.docx)
- Excel (.xlsx)
- Images (EXIF metadata, and OCR)
- Audio (EXIF metadata, and speech transcription)
- HTML (special handling of Wikipedia, etc.)
- Various other text-based formats (csv, json, xml, etc.)
Google was first though:
- [Wayback/Archive] Google Workspace Updates: Compose with Markdown in Google Docs on web
- [Wayback/Archive] Google Workspace Updates: Import and export Markdown in Google Docs
There is speculation on why Microsoft introduced it just now ranging from “they need it for AI training” to “just late to the game”. I’m with the latter. Apple is even later, so if you want to convert Apple Notes to markdown, then you can use [Wayback/Archive] Import from Apple Notes – Obsidian Help.
Via various sources, including:

Probably not fully the direction I need to search to (main goal is to interactively edit img tag attributes (basic and style) to manipulate the appearance of pictures in my blog), but should do for now:

This site will redirect you to your localised version (which means the archived links are titled “Clothing for nerds & geeks — getDigital”) [Wayback/Archive] Kleding voor nerds en geeks — getDigital.
It is originally German (see below links) and the T-shirt quality is quite OK.

Consolidating and splitting contacts between Google accounts because of family affairs has been on my wish list for a long time.
Somehow this is far more difficult than I expected.
So here is a link dump that hopefully will help me later on.

Simple (but fully working) code for NPLogonNotify(). The function obtains logon data, including cleartext password.
[Wayback/Archive] PSBits/PasswordStealing/NPPSpy at master · gtworek/PSBits has been used in the wild since about 2022 (the code is from 2020).
The code is a ~100 line C file resulting in a DLL exporting the NPGetCaps() and NPLogonNotify() functions.

I wish I had bumped into this page a way sooner as it contains most if not all the keyboard symbols I ever looked for: [Wayback/Archive] Unicode: Keyboard Symbols ⌘ ↵ ⌫
The page contains a lot more than just this diagram (which already is a great start):
⎋
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = ⌫ ⎀ ⤒ ⇞

🌐 ⌃ ⌥ ⌘
Some more symbols are at these pages:
