Reminder to self: write a Bookmarklet that shortens YouTube URLs to the youtu.be ones
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/02
When sharing YouTube videos via the mobile apps, they are shortened using the youtu.be domain.
So this is a reminder to write a Bookmarklet based URL-shortener myself for this and extend it so it also understands the various YouTube URL parameters (like start time).
The transformation is documented:

Is uBlock Origin Lite an alternative to keep using Chrome with manifest V2 deprecated?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/31
Having been a avid uBlock Origin user since when it came out in 2014 even before both Adblock and Adblock Plus headed over to the dark side.
I need to check out if [Wayback/Archive] uBlock Origin Lite is good enough now that Google is phasing out Manifest V2 (on which uBlock Origin and other ad blockers depend to provide full functionality).
When it isn’t, I might switch to Firefox or Brave as it should still support Manifest V2 as per
- [Wayback/Archive] Ublock origin still fine when chrome announced implementation of manifest V3? : uBlockOrigin.
- [Wayback/Archive] Brave Software on X: “We realize many of our users still want to use third-party ad blocker extensions. To give you as many options as possible for online privacy and security, Brave will support Manifest V2 extensions such as uBlock Origin even after Chrome stops doing so.”
Firefox for instance has some drawbacks with input handling when editing WordPress posts which Chromium based web-browsers (including Brave) don’t have.
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] Google’s Manifest V3 changes will soon disable uBlock Origin on Chrome

Some notes on Fierit
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/30
Since I had only one read-only account and the Fierit ECD system won’t sent me update notifications on that account, I have collected some links before actually doing deeper investigation to see how to build a push notification system around it.

Parameter you should add to most of your Google queries: “before:2023” (thanks Grant Gulovsen on Mastodon)

[Wayback/Archive] Grant Gulovsen: “Someone recently posted a hot tip about adding “before:2023” to Google web searches and I forget who it was but wow what a huge difference it makes. So thank you to whoever that was. It gets rid of so much AI-generated SEO crap.” – Mastodon

etched: permanent, but slow way for storing/retrieving archived web-content
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/08
[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

A great source to learn about JavaScript element enumeration and modification: iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/19
Sometimes one bumps into a Google Chrome extension that is both useful from a practical perspective as insightful on learning from how it is done.
This is one: [Wayback/Archive] iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome: Bypass Paywalls web browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
It supports many sites (including more than a dozen Dutch ones) for which it is not easy to justify creating separate accounts for them (just the risk of them leaked into Have I been Pwned? is large, despite GDPR) and staying logged on for each of them. I have dozens of listings of my email addresses at haveibeenpwned.com, so I am a lot more careful making accounts than in the past despite assigning unique email addresses for each account (which is part of the burden).

Reminder to self: pointers to recovering “The Great Suspender” suspended URLs (after in 2021 Google booted it from Chrome for being malware)
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/14
I was a long term user of “The Great Suspender”. It was a cool little Chrome Extension that would auto-suspend Chrome tabs that had not been used for a while and resume them when the tab did get accessed again thereby greatly reducing the horrible Chrome CPU and memory footprints.
During my year+ long treatment against metastasised rectum cancer I had suspended or hibernated most of my physical and virtual machines. So there was not just the surprised during the recovery of those that The Great Suspender had been kicked of the Chrome extensions, but also the problem of getting all the suspended tabs back of machines that eventually would be awoken out of sleep: I keep tabs open on stuff that I was working on or investigating for future blog posts, so these somehow could be important.
For now, I am not using anything as a replacement just to experience how well Chrome has evolved to suspend inactive tabs itself.
Now Chrome seems to do this well, as this post is based on an old VM that I have now unsuspended which had [Wayback/Archive] “the great suspender” “malware” – Google Search and the below links open in a mid-February 2021 state but not all archived in the Wayback Machine or Archive.is (some I did archived in February-May 2021).
The links are about why it got removed, how to recover lost suspended tabs and a possible alternative in case current Chrome suspend behaviour is not good enough.
