The Lunduke Journal on X: “Another classic UNIX system has died. The final version of HP-UX has, as of 3 days ago, officially hit “obsolescence” and is no longer supported… “

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/04

Another classic UNIX system has died.

The final version of HP-UX has, as of 3 days ago, officially hit “obsolescence” and is no longer supported.

While most versions of HP-UX had hit “end of life” some years back, version 11i v3 (specifically for Itanium servers) was still supported.  At least… until the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve.

HP-UX joins the likes of IRIX (support ended in 2013).

Luckily there are still a few classic style UNIX systems in production… but the list is growing smaller with each passing year.

Bedrijf failliet: stalling deelscooters kost gemeente zeker zes ton

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/30

Bij disruption (Hallo Uber, Amazon, Zorgcowboys!) komen de kosten uiteindelijk vrijwel altijd op de maatschappij terecht.

Ook nu weer: [Wayback/Archive] Bedrijf failliet: stalling deelscooters kost gemeente zeker zes ton

De gemeente Hollands Kroon dreigt voor ruim 600.000 euro het schip in te gaan door het ruimen van zo’n 4000 scooters van het failliete deelscooterbedrijf Go Sharing. De Noord-Hollandse gemeente probeert de schade te verhalen op het bedrijf. Maar omdat Go Sharing enkele malen van eigenaar wisselde en in november failliet ging, is de kans op succes gering.

Missing C3/C4 on IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/29

I do like the [Wayback/Archive] IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline ¹, but it lacks combo C3/C4 plug/inlet:

C3 C4

From: IEC 60320 – Wikipedia (and yes: I had an old radio in my youth requiring this plug)

I bumped into the reference chart because I forgot the search term IEC 60320, and therefore searching my earlier blog posts on it ².

I did remember C13/C14 (normal appliance couplers) and C19/C20 (higher power device couplers), so I used the query [Wayback/Archive] c20 c19 amperage – Google Search giving me this table: Read the rest of this entry »

Adobe Photoshop Source Code – CHM

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/19

With the permission of Adobe Systems Inc., the Computer History Museum is pleased to make available, for non-commercial use, the source code to the 1990 version 1.0.1 of Photoshop. All the code is here with the exception of the MacApp applications library that was licensed from Apple. There are 179 files in the zipped folder, comprising about 128,000 lines of mostly uncommented but well-structured code. By line count, about 75% of the code is in Pascal, about 15% is in 68000 assembler language, and the rest is data of various sorts.

Fritz!Box: remove the confirmation for making backups, exporting support information or

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/15

Most of my Fritz!Boxes are configured as switches, have a unique and strong password, are hung up in hard to reach spaces, do not have phone handsets attached or Fritz app connected. Which means that every time you want to do something sensitive operations (like backing up your data or generating support information from a URL like 192.168.178.1/support.lua) you get a nag screen, so this escape is golden to remove that nag-screen:
