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:

Do WiFi-cables (German: WLAN-Kabel) exist?

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/21

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:

Notes on Oracle Cloud Free Tier (via «I got the “free forever” 4 core/24GB ARM VM from Oracle Cloud. What should I do with it?»)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/10/02

Some notes (mainly links) on the Oracle Cloud Free Tier as at the time of writing it is the only provider with a “free forever” tier.

In the past for FOSS, there was [Wayback/Archive] Fosshost on Twitter: “@d_feldman Check out fosshost.org for an alternative to Oracle Cloud for ARM/AArch64. We are free, open source and you will never get bill shock. Open source projects must apply only.”, but at the end of 2022 they started to wind down their services as per [Wayback/Archive] Fosshost to Sunset Tenant Services

Fosshost to Sunset Tenant Services

At this time, Fosshost is deeply sorry to announce we are no longer able to continue offering our services.

Because of this, we strongly recommend all Fosshost tenants to backup their data immediately, and migrate elsewhere as soon as possible.

Oh before you begin: if you need a reverse DNS record then be sure to request that as soon as your free tier starts: at that time you have USD 300 credits for running paid services which includes the support to request reverse DNS records.

Anyway, many links on the Oracle OCI Cloud Free Tier (especially the ARM deal is great: lots of RAM as compared to the x86 VMs):
