A while ago, within a week time, I got reminded of a project I did some 15 years ago involving low-latency audio using the .NET platform on Windows XP Embedded.
For that I used the BASS.NET wrapper classes and P/Invoke methods around the Un4seen BASS Audio Library.
Back in those days there was not much documentation about this, but now there is more.
Some starting points are:

I while ago, I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] crt.sh | Certificate Search that allows searching for (the history of) TLS certificates.
One example of what it returns is [Wayback/Archive] crt.sh | wiert.me (for my blog domain and subdomains).
The basic mechanism of crt.sh is to query various Certificate Transparency logs and Certificate revocation list, terms I vaguely knew, but never fully realised the vast usefulness of (including questions like [Wayback/Archive] How does crt.sh becomes aware of certificates that are in no CT logs?).
The cool thing is that most (everything?) of it is open source in the various repositories at [Wayback/Archive] Github: crt.sh.
There is also an advanced search page [Wayback/Archive] crt.sh | Certificate Search (a=1) with many more options (including linting) I really want to try later plus a bunch of background links (including the support forum at) of which some *.crt.sh returned a http 502 while writing this blog post. Will try later to see if they have started working again:

An idea: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ruurd @mcc … Maybe place useful content below 500 KiB and serve a file at least 1 GiB size?…” – Mastodon
@ruurd @mcc probably not, although Google Search limits them to 500 KiB.
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/robots/robots_txt#file-format
“Google currently enforces a robots.txt file size limit of 500 kibibytes (KiB). Content which is after the maximum file size is ignored. You can reduce the size of the robots.txt file by consolidating rules that would result in an oversized robots.txt file. For example, place excluded material in a separate directory.”
Maybe place useful content below 500 KiB and serve a file at least 1 GiB size?
It was in response to these earlier toots (with quotes of some very interesting links on when cookies are (dis)allowed – TL;DR: it depends on local regulations):

Never too old to learn:
- [Wayback/Archive.is] Quit Nested SSH Sessions
works with ssh as well but is much simpler: press as many ~ as level of nest before . (by default, ~ is the escape character while . is to terminate ssh).
- [Wayback/Archive.is] How can I break out of ssh when it locks? – Ask Ubuntu
Notice that because hitting ~~ causes ssh to send the ~ instead of intercepting it, you can address N nested ssh connections by hitting ~ N times. (This only applies to ~s that directly follow an Enter.) That is to say that Enter~~~~~. terminates an ssh session 5 layers deep and keeps the other 4 intact.
So this is basically an extension of my 2017 blog post OpenSSH Escape Sequences (aka Kill Dead SSH Sessions) – The Lone Sysadmin (:

Het blijft hartverscheurend: [Wayback/Archive] Opinie | Bosrandgeluk – NRC
Als we door een bos rijden, zegt ze opeens: „Als je straks ophoudt met werken, wil ik met jou in een huisje aan de bosrand wonen, met een tuin, een moestuintje en een weitje.”
Ik brom instemmend.
Na een poosje keren we terug.
Zij (83) naar het verpleeghuis.
Ik (89) naar het huisje aan de bosrand met een tuin, een moestuintje en een weitje, waar we ruim dertig jaar heel erg gelukkig waren.

Some ADSB sites use Aircraft Registration in their tracking URLs and others use the hexadecimal representation ICAO 24-bit call signs.

Some 7 years ago, I missed the [Wayback/Archive] Technic 40 year anniversary model | Brickset: LEGO set guide and database.
Hopefully by now I have had time to get the various underlying boxes and build it, together with reviving the 8860 I still have from my child-hood time.
Pictures from Brickset:
