Installing WhatsApp Desktop from the Console
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/09
Related to WhatsApp Desktop for Mac or PC cannot only chat but also voice and video call: installing WhatsApp from the command-line.
That was easy to do via winget:
c:\temp>winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp Found WhatsApp [WhatsApp.WhatsApp] Version 2.2222.12 This application is licensed to you by its owner. Microsoft is not responsible for, nor does it grant any licenses to, third-party packages. Downloading https://web.whatsapp.com/desktop/windows/release/x64/WhatsAppSetup.exe ██████████████████████████████ 145 MB / 145 MB Successfully verified installer hash Starting package install... Successfully installed
This was a while ago, so the version number by now is dated, but it is about the command winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] whatsapp desktop microsoft store – Recherche Google
- [Wayback/Archive] WhatsApp Desktop – Microsoft Store Apps which shows one of the IDs at the end of the URL:
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/whatsapp-desktop/9NKSQGP7F2NH - [Wayback/Archive] Download and install WhatsApp with winget which shows the easier to use ID that I used above.

Linkjes rondom Macrogol: die van Ratiopharm verdraag ik het beste.
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/08
Eerst eveven een inleiding: waarom gebruik ik Macrogol en waarom deze post juist nu?
De TL;DR: ik heb ontlastingsklachten na veel ingrepen vanwege uitgezaaide endeldarmkanker. Macrogol helpt de ontlasting beter van consistentie te krijgen.
In 2023 testte ik 4 verschillende fabrikanten vanwege een beleidswijziging van de verzekeraar (wat hen veel geld kostte en mij veel tijd), wat achteraf goed was omdat een maand terug ineens het middel van de fabrikant die mijn lichaam het beste verdraagt niet leverbaar was.
Gelukkig heb ik van eerdere problemen met medcijnlevering (hallo allopurinol en hallo crisis in 2023 [Wayback/Archive] Dit is waarom we in Nederland zoveel medicijnen tekortkomen – EenVandaag!)
Een stukje geschiedenis
Na alle behandelingen van eind 2019 tot en met halverwege 2022 rondom mijn uitgezaaide endeldarmkanker blijf ik met LAR-syndroom, wat kort is voor low anterior resection syndrome. De Low Anterior Resection was bij mij onderdeel was van een Total Mesorectal Excision: een methode waarbij relatief veel omliggend weefsel rond de endeldarm wordt weggenomen om zo de kans op relatief lokale uitzaaiingen te verminderen.
Dit was het alternatief voor een permanent colostoma: een stoma van de dikke darm. Bij dit alternatief hoort een – vooraf door mij geaccepteerd risico – op TME post operatieve klachten. De operatie is een forse ingreep laag in het kleine bekken waar weinig ruimte is en bij vrouwen meer doorheen loopt (vagina en baarmoeder) dan bij mannen (prostaat), naast uiteraard blaas, plasbuis en de endeldarm.

25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build – Michael Stapelberg (forget MikroTik for this)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/05
Two interesting posts on fast network routing:
- [Wayback/Archive] 25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build – Michael Stapelberg
- [Wayback/Archive] How I configured and then promptly returned a MikroTik CCR2004 router for Fiber7 (2021) – Michael Stapelberg
… I also ran into weird DNS slow-downs, which I didn’t fully diagnose. In Wireshark, it looked like my machine sent 2 DNS queries but received only 1 DNS result, and then waited for a timeout.
… Since I last used MikroTik in 2014 the software seems to have barely changed. I wish they finally implemented some table-stakes features like DNS resolution for DHCP hostnames

Interesting thread on the usefulness of running a syslog server and being able to write to it
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/04
For my link archive:
- [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com 🔜 MCH2022 🏳️🌈 on Twitter: “My Ubiquity setup stopped working (again). This happens way to often in my opinion. I have setup a monitoring environment to debug the issues and consider it not reliable enough for the amount of money I spend on it.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Rick on Twitter: “@jilles_com Waar heb je problemen mee? En ik tijdelijk een syslog server draaien. Dan je kun je gemakkelijker de logs doorspitten (kiwi heeft een simpele gratis versie)”
- [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “@RickvanSoest Ik draai een grafana setup met syslog, snmp ingest en een losse traceroute om uit te sluiten of het aan de provider of de hardware ligt.”
- [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “@RickvanSoest Software upgrades die falen. In dit geval een PoE switch die op z’n gat lag. In dit geval iets dat met een reboot gefixt is. Maar in geval van de upgrade was het een compleet nieuwe configuratie.”
In todays cross-platform world, it pays if your tooling can send logging to syslog.
Though originating from the CP/M and SunOS background, I have done most of my professional development work in Windows back-ends and front-ends, so here are some links relevant to that:

Cool dphacks.com Raspberry #CM4 carrier board with Ethernet and NVME
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/03
Another thing to try: [Wayback/Archive] makerbymistake on Twitter: “Can’t help myself and have to post more pics of this thing. Cheers to @Raspberry_Pi for providing great documentation on how to make a #CM4 carrier board. Thanks to so many folks that shared their designs also. So many more ideas in my head, so little time.”
