For the yearly administration shizzle, the direct link to Dashboard: Invoices – Proton Account (account.proton.me/u/dashboard#invoices) where sometimes you have to visit one of your product first.
The reason is that at the time of writing, this was documented to be in a different place, as per [Wayback/Archive] How to download, customize, or pay invoices | Proton
Log in to your Proton Account at account.proton.me on a computer, click Settings → All settings → Dashboard, and scroll down to Invoices.
You start at [Wayback/Archive] account.proton.me/login and end up at account.proton.me/apps and that is where you cannot choose settings. You can however go to individual products and via that to the above invoices link. That’s cumbersome, it is way easier to just follow that invoices link, but in case you want to go via the products, these are the steps to follow:

Since a few years, YouTube puts annoyingly overlays on top of like the last 5 to 10 seconds of videos often covering valuable content.
Lately – while preparing for concerts – I have watched a lot of score music videos where the end really is very important to me (see the example below), for instance when rehearsing [Wayback/Archive] La Alhambra – Llano – YouTube until the final end.
The solution came from [Wayback/Archive] How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

On my list to experiment with is [Wayback/Archive] camerahacks/rpilocator-rss-feed:
This is the official rpilocator.com and hwlocator.com RSS feed reader and push notification scripts and Node-RED flows. The RSS feed is checked every minute and the script/flow sends a push notification when a product comes in stock.
Send ntfy, Pushbullet, Pushover or Gotify notifications to your device.
I only knew one of the above services, so here I have listed links to all of them:

There is this German joke about “WLAN-Kabel” (WiFi-cable) ** that goes with #Neuland (Germans mocking about Internet and technology still being uncharted territory*).
Yes, they do!
There is [Wayback/Archive] IWLAN RCoax Cable | Industrial Wireless LAN | Siemens Global:

While blogging, online tools often beat offline or command-line tools, so here there are:
They use JavaScript and do client-side conversion.
There are way more conversion targets (Delimited, Flat File, GeoJSON, HTML Table, JSON, KML, Markdown, Multi-line Data, PDF, SQL, Word, XML, YAML) and operations (Pivot, Transpose, Query with SQL), but the above are what I use most.

It looks like I missed that Google has added a new URL parameter to its search engine quite a while ago.
In the past, you could turn on image search using the tbm=isch URL parameter (“to be matched” and “image search”).
That still works, but there is a new parameter on the block that is officially undocumented, and can be used to switch into various search modes including image search but also AI-less search.
This drastically lowers the carbon footprint and also gets you far less speculative information.
Edit 20251023: I forgot to save the below part before the scheduled post got published. So here we go

RSS feed icon (source: Wikipedia)
The main way I consume news is through RSS feeds using Feedly as reader (after Google killed one of their best products: Google Reader in 2013). Many web-site do not show an RSS link or RSS icon on their home pages or other pages.
Below samples of sites followed by steps on how to find RSS Feeds.
From local examples I encountered most didn’t show they had RSS feeds or had not RSS feed at all:

Given Excel is the most popular functional language (see the video under my post “Everybody should have an obsession with Lisp-like language at least once in their life” @KevlinHenney), this post is on sorting with Excel functions.
I had an array in Excel starting at row 2 (to exclude the headings) where I had to sort on 3 different columns: C, A, B (or numerically 3, 1, 2) so [Wayback/Archive] sorting – How to multi level sort an array in excel, using formulas? I am aware about the way, using SORT button on DATA tab – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Armaan Gohil and [Wayback/Archive] Jos Woolley) didn’t fully apply but did put me on the right track as I wasn’t aware that the SORT function allows to specify multiple columns using an embedded array argument.
