Reminder to self: get the Technic 40 year anniversary model and also rebuild the 8860 on which it was based (via Brickset: LEGO set guide and database)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/14
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:

How to Weaponize the Yubikey – Black Hills Information Security
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/12
I totally missed this back in 2019 when having the first belly surgery (that eventually would lead up into discovering I had already had rectum cancer at that time) [Wayback/Archive] How to Weaponize the Yubikey – Black Hills Information Security.
Luckily I got a reminder: [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “/me the asshole that spoils the magic trick …” after [Wayback/Archive] yan on Twitter: “who’s excited for defcon next week”

Windows: Will the new Google Chat PWA for Chrome ever have system tray support? : gsuite
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/11
About 2 years after Google switched every Google Hangouts user over to Google Chat, I still wonder about [Wayback/Archive] Will the new Google Chat PWA for Chrome ever have system tray support? : gsuite:
Chrome _right now_ can be sustained as a background process with the Chrome-ball in the system tray. This is the vehicle with which Hangouts remains open at all time, so why not Chat, too?
I’m left with no option but to have Chat running on a mobile device so I have always on access. Perhaps this is the angle. I nunno.
Your support page link I’ve seen already and it doesn’t answer the Why question.
It is absolutely a bizzarotown implementation.

2014 memory: TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/08
10 years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attend the [Wayback/Archive] GDG DevFest Netherlands 2014.
Until then, on the mobile front, I only had deep experience with the .NET Compact Framework, on the cloud framework I had no real experience: my experience were (sometimes huge) systems running in private data centers communicating with various protocols over SNA and TCP/IP (and way before that: UUCP and dial-up) and on the programming front my strengths were .NET and Delphi (with truckloads of scripting) and no experience in Go or Dart (Rust was invented a year later).
So I was really happy with the [Wayback/Archive] TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
I think this comment by Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on a G+ post is one of the best complements we’ve got:“Thanks for organizing this. It was a great conference! A great mix of things outside my comfort zone and things I could relate to from a very different perspective: wonderful and inspiring.”
G+ plus is gone, but this memory will last forever as this was a start widening my horizon learning about GDG like I knew about SDN*, Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero DevRel and Microsoft DevRel.

Links to HTML versions of RFC’s need to move from “tools” to “datatracker” – Meta Stack Exchange
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/07
Some work to do replacing dead IETF RFC and draft links in my blog posts.
From the accepted answer on [Wayback/Archive.is] Links to HTML versions of RFC’s need to move from “tools” to “datatracker” – Meta Stack Exchange:
[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/[rfc/RFC]becamehttps://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfcnetwork-wide[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-becamehttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft->Both of these should conform to the reply we received from IETF.

Strive for a work environment that allows for continuous improvement over delayed perfection
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/06
Interesting picture posted by [Wayback/Archive] Syed Balkhi on X: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
Regrettably, Syed forgot to attribute the source, as the picture is a few years older, from [Wayback/Archive] Mélodie | Visual Ideas on X: “Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection”.
You should strive for a working environment that allows this:
