A choco install list
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/03
Sometimes I forget the choco install mnemonics for various tools, so here is a small list below.
Of course you have to start with an administrative command prompt, and have a basic Chocolatey Installation in place.
If you want to clean cruft:
choco install --yes choco-cleaner
Basic install:
choco install --yes 7zip choco install --yes everything choco install --yes notepadplusplus choco install --yes beyondcompare choco install --yes git.install --params "/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /NoGitLfs /SChannel /NoAutoCrlf /WindowsTerminal" choco install --yes hg choco install --yes sourcetree choco install --yes sysinternals
For VMs (pic one):
choco install --yes vmware-tools choco install --yes virtio-drivers
For browsing (not sure yet about Chrome as that one has a non-admin installer as well):
choco install --yes firefox
For file transfer (though be aware that some versions of Filezilla contained adware):
choco install --yes filezilla choco install --yes winscp
For coding:
choco install --yes vscode choco install --yes atom
For SQL server:
choco install --yes sql-server-management-studio
For web development / power user:
choco install --yes fiddler
For SOAP and REST:
choco install --yes soapui
If you don’t like manually downloading SequoiaView at gist.github.com/jpluimers/b0df9c2dba49010454ca6df406bc5f3d (e8efd031d667de8a1808d6ea73548d77949e7864.zip):
choco install --yes windirstat
For drawing, image manipulation (paint.net last, as it needs a UI action):
choco install --yes gimp choco install --yes imagemagick choco install --yes paint.net
For ISO image mounting in pre Windows 10:
choco install --yes wincdemu
For hard disk management:
choco install --yes hdtune choco install --yes seatools choco install --yes speedfan
For Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners (not sure yet this includes PDF support):

browser – How to connect a website has only IPv6 address without domain name? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/22
For my link archive: [WayBack] browser – How to connect a website has only IPv6 address without domain name? – Super User (thanks haimg):
According to RFC2732, literal IPv6 addresses should be put inside square brackets in URLs, e.g. like this:
If you also need to specify a port other then 80 to access the server it has to be placed after the closing bracket:
Of course, you have to have end-to-end IPv6 connectivity to that host. E.g. if the server is not inside your own local network, you need to have IPv6 connectivity, either via your ISP (rare), or via some kind of IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation (tunnel).

Firefox 29 and up: “The connection has timed out”
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/24
A few years ago, Firefox changed the default “network.http.response.timeout” value from zero to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Display style systems that show refreshing web pages, this can be a problem as when the connection to the web-server is unavailable for more than 5 minutes, then the page will show “The connection has timed out” and stop refreshing.
The solution – apart from fixing each and every connection problem – is to either restore the value or make it very long:
network.http.response.timeout=0network.http.response.timeout=30000
Changing this works similarly like in A way to skip the Firefox “Well, this is embarrassing” during a sudden reboot « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff:

A way to skip the Firefox “Well, this is embarrassing” during a sudden reboot
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/03/04
A while ago, I asked about [WayBack] “Is there a way to skip the Firefox “Well, this is embarrassing” during a sudden reboot and just continue with the loading of the default pages? – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+
Later I found the workaround at both and [WayBack] Well this is embarrassing message | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support with more elaboration at [WayBack] Don’t give Chance for Firefox to Show ‘Well, this is embarrassing” message next time again | Techdows:
- Open Firefox

by clicking

Now after a sudden reboot of the machine, a start of Firefox just loads the default page.

Most of my browser life is in Chrome, but the memory consumption and CPU usage has increased so much over time so it, err, become less than optimal.
