TL;DR: it was a Dutch keyboard, which almost nobody in The Netherlands uses (US or US-International are the most used physical keyboard layouts over there)
I tried searching for keyboard layouts using Google with these special keys that were present on the keyboard (listing all keys that either have special symbols on them, or use the Alg-Gr modifier):

Reminder to show how well my experimentation with [Wayback/Archive] Better Uptime went and how they compare to [Wayback/Archive] UptimeRobot.
For now I am at this plan in [Wayback/Archive] Pricing | Better Uptime:
Free:
- e-mail alerts
- 3-minute checks
- 10 monitors
This suffices to keep an eye on the modest IT infrastructure at both our home and the one from my mentally retarded brother.
Note that other prices on that pages are per month. Despite the default selection being “annual plan” the very light grey and thin “/mo” on a black ground indicates they are still per month, but you get 20% discount with the annual plans).

After installing my Apple Silicon MacBook, I found out my machine had gotten named automatically in two different ways:
hostname Jeroens-MBPscutilA few reasons I dislike that:
Finding out how to fix all this was a tedious job as I had to keep refining queries:

For my link archive as this is environment variable override trick to override DLL loading is not just limited to executables shipping with Windows, but also with other products (likely: virus scanners that run privileged); another alternative is running a local process serving the WebDAV protocol.

Interesting for both red teams and blue teams: [Wayback/Archive] Hijack Libs
This project provides an curated list of DLL Hijacking candidates. A mapping between DLLs and vulnerable executables is kept and can be searched via this website. Additionally, further metadata such as resources provide more context.

Fron a while ago but still relevant [Wayback/Archive] Is it Pokémon or Big Data?.
It is a cool experiment to test your own knowledge or for fun to assess recruiters or candidates (;
And it is open source too:

Sometimes the best information is outside vendor forums. I think it is the case for this Reddit thread: [Wayback/Archive] Regarding updating Tumbleweed; what is the best way to do it? Appper, zypper dup, zypper up. Which one am i supposed to use? Should i be worried about the vendor changes? And why do i get a message when using ‘zypper up’ saying “The following 35 package updates will NOT be installed”? : openSUSE
Note that specific to openSuSE Tumbleweed you should prefer zypper distr-upgrade over zypper update as per [Wayback/Archive] TUMBLEWEED zypper dup default behavior changed: what is the difference to zypper up?
Be aware this thread is about Tumbleweed, the method to update is byusing dup since it’s a new snapshot. At this point it’s your choice toupdate or not depending on your requirements. If your running out ofkernel modules supplied by third parties, then your tied to theirschedule…. Using zypper up will in the long term create more issuesas well as not supported.
This is especially true as --no-allow-vendor-change has been the default for zypper dist-upgrade for almost a decade now: [Wayback/Archive] PSA: Tumbleweed: –no-allow-vendor-change now default zypper dup behaviour : openSUSE

[Wayback/Archive] PSA: Fast way to complete the “Use 10 super effective charged attacks” field research : TheSilphRoad
TL;DR: Use a 1500 CP Poliwrath with Mud Shot and Power-Up Punch against Blanche in Great League, and don’t swipe any bubbles. Quest is done in 1 battle or 3 minutes.
This has been posted before when people were working on the 200 super effective charged moves for the level 43 quest, and I personally learned the trick from that post. But now that we have regular field research quests that reward Mega Energy for 10 SE charged moves, I figured it might be worth a repost.
What you need
A Poliwrath under 1500 CP, with fast move Mud Shot and charged move Power-Up Punch.
What you do
- Do a training battle with Blanche in Great League. This can be found at the bottom of the “Battle” tab.
- Use Poliwrath in the lead, followed by two random 1500 CP Pokemon. (Blanche always uses Sneasel, Sealeo and Snowy Castform.)
- In the battle, use a Power-Up Punch whenever it’s charged up.
- Do not swipe any bubbles during the charged move animation, until you already reached ~10 charged moves. This will ensure you do minimal damage (25% of the move’s actual power).
- Once you count to 9 or 10 charged moves, you can then swipe all bubbles to do full damage.
Without any bubbles, it typically takes 3-4 PuPs to kill Sneasel, 4-5 for Sealeo, and 4-5 for Castform. So I typically don’t swipe any bubbles against Sneasel and Sealeo, then swipe all or most bubbles against Castform (would take 2-3 PuPs to kill it). This works even if you’re not consciously keeping track of how many charged moves you’ve used.
Many alternatives are available, such as Medicham with Psycho Cut/Power-Up Punch against GL Blanche, Politoed with Mud Shot/Weather Ball against GL Candela, or a Mud Shot/Mud Bomb user (Whiscash, Marshtomp) against GL Candela.
(If someone wants to make a video of this, go ahead.)
Related:
Choose battle menu option and fight blanche using Magnezone, Skeledirge, Jolteon. If used in that order against Blanches 3 Pokemon in her order, every charged attack will be of the super effective charged attack type. Magnezone and Jolteon can switch their order if preferred. I.e., Magnezone and Jolteon will tick off the super effective attack count against Blanches first and last Pokemon. Enjoy!
