This was a trip down memory lane where I was totally unaware that you could embed 6502 assembly language inside AppleSoft BASIC code.
It turns you can, and even better: the Twitter bot named AppleIIBot could execute it too!
Though I bumped into AppleIIBot during winter 2021, I published the BBC equivalent last week (see BBC trip down memory lane – 8bitkick/BBCMicroBot: Runs your tweet on an 8-bit computer emulator) as that one got released earlier.
For the moment it is down because Elon blew up Twitter and shut down on 2022-11-05, but hopefully – like the BBC equivalent – it will resurface on a Mastodon instance somewhere in the future.
Luckily all old Tweets with code and rendering are still there, though you need a Twitter account to view them: Elon broke the feature of anonymous access seeing all messages in a thread.
Below the signature are the full Tweets that led me into it; the texts are these:

Tegenwoordig kom je nog steeds taalgebruik tegen waarvan de huiveringen over je rug lopen.
Nu is taal voor mij als woordblinde autist sowieso altijd ingewikkeld, maar ik heb wel een aardig gevoel over het soort taal dat ik niet wil gebruiken.
Twee jaar terug kwam ik via Twitter deze twee onderwerpen tegen:

I reacted to a Dutch [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @NL_Wetenschap on Thread Reader App (which has an excellent Google translation [Wayback/Archive]).
The responses mentioned these two interesting English papers and a nice YouTube video:
I have first hand experience from my cancer treatment period where despite having a companion and emphatic care takers, I did not comprehend large parts of the information.
Two tips:
The rest of this post is in Dutch containing the original tweets:

Still working on handling open Chrome tabs after having moved in the period that GitLab had quite a few issues causing my PagerDuty alerts to go wild.
Today PagerDuty gave me 7 calls in 4 hours again (see [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “@gitlab Since 20240312T1727Z I get PagerDuty alerts from HetrixTools for some pages hosted on GitLab. It would be nice if someone could have a look at gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/17717“).
In adddition I need to check if anything made it to the GitLab issue list from the 20230827 connectivity issues I mentioned at [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “Is it @gitlab hosting having transcontinental issues, or are other continental connections affected as well? These are from two different *.gitlab.io pages as measured via @HetrixTools . No issues are listed at status.gitlab.com“.
Back then, this was the most important one: [Wayback/Archive] GitLab System Status: GitLab.com availability issues – October 30, 2023 15:39 UTC
Likely because of this, wiert.me.gitlab.io had been down for a while as well on 20231031 (see [Wayback/Archive] wiert.me.gitlab.io (Recent History) – HetrixTools down from 2023-10-30T15:24Z until 2023-10-30T16:14Z for 3 + 3 + 11 + 27 = 44 minutes.)
Back then, the hardest part was to quickly find out if there was indeed an issue being investigated at all.
The GitLab status multi-media account on Twitter just points to the status page, which makes it hard to find the underlying issue.
I didn’t archive that one in time, but when I got the alerts it didn’t show anything and when it was resolved it was already beyond the cut-off timestamp to mark it as “same day” and the graph didn’t show much down-time [Wayback/Archive] GitLab System Status graph didn’t show much down-time:

This sparked some great responses [Wayback/Archive] Iris Classon on Twitter: “What’s the least privacy invading way to track some metrics regarding traffic to my website? Basic stuff, not length of stay, color of underwear or body count.”, for instance:

Most Fritz!Box VoIP configurations have a phone number configured to only work on telephony devices (i.e. handsets) on the same Fritz!Box.
But it is possible to define a telephony device that itself is another VoIP end-point.
This way you can hook a second (or more) Fritz!Box up to the phone number(s) of the first Fritz!Box.
I am using this for two reasons:
Below is how to get this going, assuming the first Fritz!Box is a 7490 running firmware 7.29 and the second is a a 7360 with firmware 6.33 (other versions and firmware versions vary slightly).
But first the related post: Many links about free modem/router choice and their configurations for the Dutch KPN internet/VoIP provider where I figured out that just using a 7360 won’t cut it any more.

[Wayback/Archive.is] about etched:
etchedis an internet archive tool that permanently timestamps and stores web pages directly into the Bitcoin BSV blockchain.This is a major improvement from traditional web archivers as all etched pages are permanently stored and independently provable by anyone who has access to the bitcoin blockchain. This means even if etched shuts down anyone can search and view all previously saved data using bitcoin browsers like Bottle.
Via [Wayback] Archive.is blog — See if you suddenly died and that hardware failure…:
For redundancy, try something like etched.page, they store pages on Bitcoin blockchain.
Example: [Wayback] etched archive of nos.nl, 2021-09-10

I totally missed this feature got implemented: [Wayback/Archive] Use Remembered Arguments for a Package During Upgrades · Issue #797 · chocolatey/choco. I also seem to be lucky I have not tried it out yet (:
I bumped into it via [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | Notepad++ 8.4.4, which had this interesting comment:
If you want Notepad++ 32 bit and you want it to stay on 32 bit with upgrades, ensure you are on Chocolatey 0.10.4 (or newer). Then add `
-x86` to your installation arguments. Then turn on the remembered arguments feature with ‘choco feature enable -n useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades‘ – this will ensure that `-x86` gets passed on upgrade when running `choco upgrade all`. For more information on how this works, see https://github.com/chocolat…797
First of all, if you started using Chocolatey at or before 0.14, the useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades feature is disabled by default and kept that way even after upgrading to the most recent version. You can see executing choco feature list on a system that started with Chocolatey:
