Back when I had chemo in 2020 because of recum cancer metastases in the liver, the below Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump (HAIP) alternative was not available yet. It means that current generations of Dutch patients have an improved method of treatment that hopefully helps increase their chances of survival.

How to Switch to a 24 Hour Clock in Google Calendar – Live2Tech
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/14
Apparently you have to do this once for a Google account, as it is on the account level, not the web-browser level.
The odd thing was that somehow despite setting the country to The Netherlands when setting up the account, these were the settings in Google Calendar
- Language: English (UK)
- Country: Netherlands (Nederland)
- Date format: 12/31/2021
- Time format: 1:00pm
After the steps from [Wayback] How to Switch to a 24 Hour Clock in Google Calendar – Live2Tech, the settings now are these:

Avoid VirtualBox; use Hyper-V or VMware in stead
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/10
A while ago, Jilles found out why not to use VirtualBox: [Wayback/Archive] Jilles🏳️🌈 on Twitter: “@jpluimers Ik wil op basis van wat de Arch community schreeuwt; “Virtualbox is stom, als je geen hyper-v gebruikt vraag je om problemen”, HYPER-V maar gaan proberen.” / Twitter
The biggest problem is that VirtualBox seems to be developed ant tested for the happy path, not the failing path.
Which means that when you use it for less common scenarios, it will often fail in mysterious ways.
Back in Running ArchiveTeam Warrior version 3.2 on ESXi, I already mentioned this:
Totally agreeing with Kristian Kohntopp, I do not understand why people use VirtualBox at all: I just run in too much issues like [Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Hint: Wenn die Installation einer Linux-Distro in Virtualbox mit wechselnden, unbekannten Fehlern scheitert, hilft es, stattdessen einmal VMware Workstation oder kvm zu probieren. In meinem Fall hat es dann *jedes* *einzelne* *Mal* mit *demselben* Iso geklappt.”.

Figured out why on fresh Chrome installs, iframe with embedded Google Calendar won’t work and show `(blocked:other)` in the Network Tab of Chrome Developer Tools
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/09
Wow, what a long title!
What happened is that I have a few dashboards for people that include various embedded Google Calendar widgets in <iframe>s.
These won’t show on fresh installs of Google Chrome that have the particular user signed on in the Chrome Settings so that settings will be synchronised, right?
Right?!
Wrong!!
Not all Chrome settings will be synchronised by Chrome. Things like [Wayback/Archive] “On startup” (with the pages shown after Chrome startup) and wich installed extensions are synchronised including the visibility of their icons. But the settings of the extensions themselves will not.
This means that odd things happen, for instance extensions like [Wayback/Archive] Privacy Badger and [Wayback/Archive] uBlock Origin being installed, but both reverting to their default settings.
That in turn leads to hard to see problems, in this case the embedded Google Calendar <iframe>s failing.

TWINT – Twitter Intelligence #OSINT: consider Toolwoluxwolu/twint
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/08
Edit: I scheduled this post a long time ago, but it likely won’t work any more because of Space Karen demolsing Twitter. So for now, view this post as a how historically we had nice things on Twitter.
When writing this, the fork [Wayback/Archive] woluxwolu/twint works and the original [Wayback/Archive] twintproject/twint: An advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn’t use Twitter’s API, allowing you to scrape a user’s followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations. does not.
See these tweets in Dutch (Google Translate on them works well):

Formatting a USB stick larger than 32 gigabyte with FAT32 on Windows 10
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/03
Formatting USB sticks in Fat32 on Windows 10 can be a pain, especially when they are larger than 32 gigabyte.

Smart idea by corbosman on Twitter: he wrote a home grown DynDNS for transIP DNS changes
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/02
[Wayback/Archive] corbosman on Twitter: “I created a container in my private kubernetes cluster that checks if my ziggo ip address changes and if so, notifies me and makes some DNS changes through the API of my DNS provider. Last night Ziggo changed my IP and it worked flawlessly. Win!” / Twitter
His ISP: [Wayback/Archive] corbosman on Twitter: “@jpluimers transip“.
The Domain API for his ISP TransIP is at [Wayback/Archive] TransIP API: Domains (via [Wayback/Archive] transip dns api – Google Search).

Working around Windows 10 upgrade 21H2 suddenly requiring 20+GBytes instead of 10+.
