Dutch hackerspaces and FabLabs
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/15
Before visiting Bitlair 2 years ago, I didn’t know there were so many hackspaces and FabLabs in The Netherlands.
There are (:
Starting points:
- [Wayback/Archive] Nederlandse hackerspaces en -organisaties even shows which are open at the moment of viewing.
- [Wayback/Archive] Home – FabLab BeNeLux
- [Wayback/Archive] Dave Borghuis on Twitter: “@jpluimers @BadgeteamNL @bitlair @MCH2022Camp @NLHackers Or check
mapall.spacewith all hackerspaces and fablabs around the world. It even includes heatmaps of the spaces that use the @space_api (disclamer I made this site).”
This is the hackerspace closest to my home: [Wayback/Archive] Technologia Incognita. At Louwesweg 1, 1066 EA Amsterdam, it is about 15 minutes bicycling distance (more information on in their wiki at [Wayback/Archive] ACTA – Technologia Incognita; onofficially on Twitter at [Wayback/Archive] Techlnc ☸ (@Techlnc) / Twitter).
Related tweets:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Helping the @BadgeteamNL at @bitlair with their @MCH2022Camp flash sweatshop I discovered there is
hackerspaces.nl(@NLHackers) which even has an API. Cool! “
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@BadgeteamNL @bitlair @MCH2022Camp @NLHackers Via their site, I found out about
fablab.nl(no Twitter) which also has a map, however since there are so many more #FabLab in the #BeNeLux: no marking which are open/closed.”

Why Return-to-Office Mandates Aren’t Worth the Risks | Gartner, 2024-05-20
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/14
After decades telling management that remote work is best for most of the IT-teams, or in more general white-collar workers, Covid-19 proving it does, some managers still don’t get it.
After years of the Return-to-Office movement trying to get people back to the office, Gartner finally found out that RTO is a major risk of losing talent or not even acquiring talent.
[Wayback/Archive] Why Return-to-Office Mandates Aren’t Worth the Risks | Gartner
- Nearly three-quarters of executives say return-to-office (RTO) mandates are a source of leadership conflict.
- Lack of work-life balance ranks among the top five reasons employees quit.

Captive portal – Wikipedia
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/12
In the past I wrote a few articles containing information about Captive Portals, but I forgot mentioning that the article Captive portal – Wikipedia exists.
Got reminded to this by these tweets about Apple not using the default browser when displaying the Captive Portal page:

How long will Firefox survive, given market share and likely demise of main income source: Google Search (via Thom – Exquisite.social)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/11
Interesting take of which I was subconsciously aware for a while as well: [Wayback/Archive] Thom :linux: :kde: :systemd:: “My concerns about the future o…” – Exquisite.social
My concerns [www.osnews.com] about the future of Firefox keep becoming reality [www.osnews.com] and yet nobody who relies on Firefox – Canonical, Fedora, KDE, GNOME, etc. – seem to give a shit.
Y’all realise Mozilla is about to lose 80% of its revenue, right? And y’all do understand what this will mean for Firefox, right? Why aren’t you taking any steps or making any plans to prepare for what this will inevitably mean for the most important and crucial desktop Linux application?
I feel like Kassandra [en.wikipedia.org] over here.
It is not a Desktop Linux problem alone: it is a Firefox problem at heart which will also (and in much larger numbers) affect other platforms as it also means one less browser engine: the Gecko browser engine used by Firefox and other browsers highly depends on Mozilla funding.
Given the long lasting keyboard productivity problems in Firefox on MacOS and Windows (even without any extensions installed), I don’t think that my frequency of Firefox usage will increase beyond occasional use.
A few examples hampering power usage of Firefox:

Inline drying of 3D printer fillament?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/09
A promising video:
[Wayback/Archive] Why are we drying filament this way? – YouTube
The trick is blowing warm air over the fillament strand while it is pulled through some tin cans.
This also works for drying used (and therefore wettened) silica gel beads on a 3D printer heat bed.

It looks like Fritz!Box rebinding protection also prevents accessing a FritzBox over a SSH port forwarding
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/09
For quite some times my back-up way to access a Fritz!Box when the VPN itself failed was to SSH into a system behind it and use SSH port forwarding to access the Fritz!Box.
Seems that only works for older models with older firmware versions, but newer models with newer firmware now give a rebinding protection error.
I am not sure why it does this as technically there is no [Wayback/Archive] DNS rebinding – Wikipedia.
Regrettably, I could not find a way around this from the links below.

Newer WordPress bookmarklets for navigating from a blog post to the classic editor, or getting the canonical url anchor of a blog post
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/08
Last year I posted about Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs.
It depended on HighlanderComments to exist in order for getting its .connectURL which contains the canonical blog post URL (i.e. from https://wiert.me it obtains https://wiert.wordpress.com).
Nowadays HighlanderComments does not always exist, but in that case <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="https://wiert.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd"> does exist.
Its’ href value can be obtained by querying document.querySelector('link[rel="EditURI"]').href and truncate it, so I made some conditional code that first tries the HighlanderComments and defers code obtaining it from the link element I mentioned above.
I also added proper Bookmarklet wrappers so the function results don’t leak to the console or Browser (Firefox really does not like Bookmarklets without this wrapper).
javascript:(function(){
//Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();
Firefox also dislikes pasting code into the development console.
Code:
