[Wayback] Contact opnemen | Persoonsgebonden budget | SVB had this:
UX: 2FA needed as of October, but which year?
If you are going to introduce a change in a certain period of time, ensure you not just mention only a part of when it occurs: include at least year and month, possibly even day and time.
That way your users know if they still have some time left to setup 2FA, or won’t be able to logon without 2FA at all.

Luckily I only had two posts using Threader, as I today learned that it is dying really soon now, as per [Wayback/Archive] Threader – Good Twitter threads every day (emphasis and archival links mine):
As part of this acquisition, we’ll be shutting Threader down on December 15, 2021.
…
We’ve [Wayback/Archive] recently built a similar reading experience at Twitter, which is now available as part of [Wayback/Archive] Twitter Blue.
…
All of our users will be able to export their bookmarks from their settings in our iOS and web apps. Make sure to also download your PDF archives if you’d like to keep them.
Twitter Blue is paid and only available in very few countries and is part of Twitter, so quite useless for archival.
The alternatives [Archive] @ThreadReaderApp, [Archive] @WayBackMachine and [Archive] @ArchiveIs for the win (:
Bye bye [Archive] Threader (previously [Archive] @Threader_app), it was fun while it lasted.

Some notes, as I’m looking to a stable, simple to maintain email forwarding system that is also secure and – yes – can cost money.
I need to leave IT-infrastructure behind that is easy to maintain for my heirs.
Some links:
The best open-source and free email forwarding service for custom domains. We do not keep logs nor store emails. We don’t track you. Unlimited aliases, catch-alls, wildcards, API access, and disposable addresses. Built-in support for DKIM, SRS, SPF, ARC, DMARC, and more. No credit card required.
What is the max email size limit
We default to a 50MB size limit, which includes content, headers, and attachments. Note that services such as Gmail and Outlook allow only 25MB size limit, and if you exceed the limit when sending to addresses at those providers you will receive an error message.
An error with the proper response code is returned if the file size limit is exceeded.
…
What is the difference between Free and Enhanced Protection
The Free plan requires you to use public DNS records to store your forwarding configuration. Anyone with a computer can lookup your forwarding configuration in a terminal if you are on the Free plan. Unlike the Free plan, the Enhanced Protection plan uses a cryptographically generated random string to store your forwarding configuration privately.
Free Plan Enhanced Protection Plan forward-email=user@gmail.comforward-email-site-verification=m8d7o8K4Il
Privacy
We have a “zero tolerance policy” privacy policy, which states that we don’t store logs nor emails, and we don’t track users. Our statement clearly states that we do not collect nor store forwarded emails, metadata, server-side nor client-side logs, IP addresses, or browser information.
Only an email address is required to create and configure the Enhanced Protection Plan, which hides DNS email alias information on the free plan through a managed and hosted service.
User’s accounts, domains, and all related information can be permanently deleted at any time by the user.
Free email forwarding for domains with features including Custom Domain Email Forwarding, Disposable Addresses, Multiple Recipients, Wildcards, and more!

[Archive.is] Kat Maddox on Twitter: “Who’s the CEO of emails I need to talk to him… “:
This is why dreamweaver still exists.
[Archive.is] Kat Maddox on Twitter: “You don’t need a time machine to go back to the past. You just need to try to write HTML in emails. If I have to nest one more table, I’ll have gone back far enough to be able to warn people about the dot com bubble. Fuck it. I’m writing this newsletter in markdown”
Markdown with an HTML generator actually is quite a good way to get HTML emails going.
Another route is [Wayback] Foundation for Emails | A Responsive Email Framework from ZURB.
Oh remember this: [Archive.is] StuAngel on Twitter: “rule of thumb “the mail clients are about 5 years behind in HTML support” – that was like 10 years ago and they have never gotten any better… https://t.co/lVAW5YCubm”

Interesting:
Some corporate networks are behind HTTP proxy servers that use NTLM authentication. Dropbox currently doesn’t support this kind of proxy authentication. However, some users have reported some success using an intermediate proxy, such as [WayBack] NTLMAPS or [WayBack] cntlm, to get Dropbox running on their network.
This article explains steps on various systems to install proxies that support NTLM authentication: [WayBack] Allow Dropbox to Authenticate With a NTLM Proxy Server – The Unofficial Dropbox Wiki.
Need to try these. Maybe they work for Copy.com too (:
Some other links around HTTP Fiddler that might be relevant: Read the rest of this entry »

Twitter account [Archive.is] @AltTextCrew is cool: it can OCR text from images, which is great for visually impaired people.
Just answer a tweet containing such an image and it replies with a series of tweets with the texts of that image.
@AltTextCrew OCR please
You can also have it check and analyse the links from a tweet, just reply this to that tweet:
@AltTextCrew analyze links
[Archive.is] @hbeckpdx is the driving force behind both @AltTextCrew and [Archive.is] @AltTxtReminder:

[Archive.is] World, I’d like you to meet
@AltTextCrew!Are you a live-tweeter that needs help describing the media they post? DM me on this account.
Are you willing to help them to describe their content? Follow the bot. Thanks to
@fraxstal for the idea!- [Archive.is] Alt Text Reminder on Twitter:
Just followed? It may take 15 minutes for reminders to start
Sometimes tweets non-bot things about alt text, those will be tagged
#AltTxtReminderOOCTo opt-out, block the bot
DMs not checked, message

Edit 20220510: AltTxtReminder got open sourced!
Below are two examples of @AltTextCrew usage:

I really want to know what programming languages, frameworks, libraries and APIs they use for this bot.
Edit 20211028:
It uses the Google Vision API, as Tesseract was too slow and inaccurate:
Edit 20211211:
Note that usually the text will be published in the alt tag of the images:
[Archive] Hannah Kolbeck 🏳️⚧️ on Twitter: “@jpluimers @AltTextCrew No, it always prefers to tweet images with alt text. Right now if the ocr result from the targeted tweet is too long to fit in 4 images worth it will fall back to posting a thread.” / Twitter

I have used other on-line HTML cleanup tools in the past (especially for including parts of web-pages in a blog post), but so far none beats HTML Washer: [Wayback] HTML cleanup tool & simplifier. For basic & clean HTML 🔧
An online tool that reduces HTML to basic tags and attributes. Removes scripts, CSS, and other non-basic elements like , , etc… Also, corrects errors and formats the HTML doc or a fragment.

Highlights from the thread [Archive.is] Tomasz Łakomy on Twitter: “What’s the most difficult programming concept you can explain in a tweet?”
Finally a cheat (as it has an image), but great illustration:
