GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/14

Interesting, as this seems to handle all actions client-side: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue

Hosting is at two sites:

The code is a tiny HTML wrapper around about 1000 lines of JavaScript (plus a few hundred lines of minified [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm: FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly JavaScript code). Impressive!

Interesting: [Wayback/Archive] Bluesky Map by [Wayback/Archive] Theo Sanderson.

I wasn’t in any of the clouds (:

Quintessence Mastodon tool: quintsns.pianeta.uno

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/29

 Quintessence @quintsns@mastodon.uno Hi @wiert, Quintessence is changing the way it operates. From now on you won't receive the 23:00UTC message containing your top links any more, but you can still get the same thing (with added link titles too!) by visiting https://quintsns.pianeta.uno . I wrote about this change here: https://mastodon.uno/@quintsns/109654658496951682 . I hope you'll enjoy the new Quintessence! Let me know how it goes. Cheers. Jan 09, 2023, 04:56 · · 0Quintessence shows you the top links that the people that you follow on Mastodon tooted or boosted in the last hours and the most notable toots that appeared in your timeline.

In order to work it just needs read permissions for your account.

You can allow this by specifying your instance in the text box below and clicking “Authorize”.

Quintessence is a static site, all its code runs on the device that you are using to read these lines. No data leaves your browser nor is being shared with anyone.

[Wayback/Archive] https://quintsns.pianeta.uno/ is on my list of tools to try and make Mastodon more manageable for me.

Some links on Twitter automation through Selenium web-browser automation

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/16

A few years ago, Twitter basically killed API access by making it cost prohibitive for anything but very large organisations.

Here are some links I archived back then that might be able to replace some automation behaviour by using Selenium to drive a web browser.

Two online transcription tools

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/12

From best to second best:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Good Tape (which at the time of writing in 2023 was free, but likely now is still affordable)
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Azure Video Indexer Portal – Cognitive Video Indexing (at the time of writing the first 10 hours are free, then it’s around EUR 1/minute)

Mastodon Flock: Migrate your tweeps to the Fediverse.

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/08

[Wayback/Archive] Mastodon Flock

Welcome to the Mastodon Flock installation wizard.
This program will guide you through finding your Twitter contacts on the Fediverse, provided they have added their external contact information on their profile name, description, URL or pinned Tweet.

It is open source in the repository [Wayback/Archive] WesSouza/mastodon-flock: Let the birds flock to Mastodon.

I love the retro Windows 95 Installer look which is even continued in the [Wayback/Archive] About (“how this software works”), and [Wayback/Archive] Privacy Policy:

Wat is de maximale huurverhoging voor een vrijesectorwoning in 2026? | Rijksoverheid.nl

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/30

Edit 20260601: Tagged “missed schedule” vanwege de WordPress.com missed schedule bug die sinds 2012 niet is opgelost (kennelijk kan WordPress wel iets met AI, maar een lijst met meer dan 100 geagendeerde blogposts is “too big” voor ze)

Origineel:

Voor in het huurdossier: [Wayback/Archive] Wat is de maximale huurverhoging voor een vrijesectorwoning in 2026? | Rijksoverheid.nl

In 2026 is de jaarlijkse huurverhoging voor vrijesectorwoningen maximaal 4,4%. Dit geldt ook voor ligplaatsen voor woonboten. De huurverhoging moet wel als afspraak in uw huurcontract staan.

SocialGrep – Social Media Analytics for Reddit

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/15

Though I have no Reddit account, it has much useful content, so I wish I had known his query site like 15 years ago [Wayback/Archive] SocialGrep – Social Media Analytics for Reddit

It looks like very few people mentioned me on Reddit too. Is that a good thing?
