NEW Universal USB Type C Mod to Restore your older devices! – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/22
Nice videos about USB-C receptacles replacement that might fit old mini-USB and sometimes micro-USB ones.
Before applying, check out the tables in USB hardware: Compatibilities – Wikipedia and the table I copied from USB hardware: connector dimensions – Wikipedia to ensure there is enough space to fit the USB-C receptacle in:

The Intel’s Management Engine Backdoor Nobody Can Remove – via YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/21
Interesting video explaining on Intel’s Management Engine which has been the Intel Inside part of about every Intel Chipset since 2008: [Wayback/Archive] The Intel Nobody Can Remove (Not Even You) – YouTube
This is very relevant as it runs on a lightweight operating system called Minix, and there is a move from attacks on end-user operating systems personal computers and mobile phones towards edge devices running lightweight operating systems (not limited to Citrix, Ivanti, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco, SonicWall and Juniper – for a potential OS list see Category:Lightweight Unix-like systems – Wikipedia).
More sources have started warning for this, see for instance [Wayback/Archive] Network security devices endanger orgs with ’90s era flaws | CSO Online and [Wayback/Archive] Security Appliance Vulnerability Bingo 2025 – Google Regneark.
Hopefully [Wayback/Archive] Dr. Christopher Kunz | heise online will have created a cku.gt/appbingo26 this year.

GitHub – valyentdev/valyent: A developers-first cloud platform.
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/20
In my list of tools to try out: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – valyentdev/valyent: A developers-first cloud platform.
I will likely start with the cloud version, but the local version looks promising too.
More links:
- [Wayback/Archive] Deploy app servers close to your users · Fly
- [Wayback/Archive] Valyent – A developers-first cloud platform.
- [Wayback/Archive] Pricing – Valyent Documentation
- [Wayback/Archive] Discord: Valyent.cloud
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Valyent.cloud: “📢 Valyent.cloud is getting fully open-source, and its UI dashboard is getting more features day after day. It allows developers to deploy Docker images at scale — made fast-booting and secure microVMs, taking inspiration from Fly.io.” — Bluesky

Found back some emails and links from way back when promoting/helping ThunderByte AntiVirus (hi Frans Veldman)
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/20
Nice memories of the TBAV/ThunderByte Anti-Virus story.
Together with Jeroen Smulders, I was sort of on the sideline in the early days as we both were at the university had access to FidoNet (I as host, other Jeroen as point), Internet, mailing lists and newsgroups.
I used it because it was the fastest Virus Scanner around and a need when scanning all incoming FidoNet data for viruses (I had seen at university what damage a spread could do).
Some VIRUS-L, comp.virus and book links from that past:

How can I tell what wattage my MacBook Pro… – Apple Community

This still works for Apple Silicon based Macs: [Wayback/Archive] How can I tell what wattage my MacBook Pr… – Apple Community
TL;DR:
- Either:
- ⌘-space -> System Information.app
- menu -> About This Mac -> More Info… -> System Report…
Note that “System Report…” starts the “System Information.app” (how cool would naming consistency be…)
- Hardware -> Power
- Browse down to “AC Charger Information”
On my M1 MacBook Pro, the values depend on the charging ports used:

Position paper nachtsluiting DEF 8 jan 2026.pdf – Google – Schiphol nachtsluiting tussen 23:00 en 07:00 uur en minder vluchten aan randen nachtsluiting
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/19
[Wayback/Archive] Position paper nachtsluiting DEF 8 jan 2026.pdf – Google Cloud Drive
…
Langdurige blootstelling aan dit geluid leidt tot slaapproblemen, verhoogde stress en gezondheidsrisico’s. Om deze impact te verminderen, zijn maatregelen nodig die de nachtrust van bewoners effectief beschermen.
Daarom pleiten de gemeenten Aalsmeer, Amsterdam, Beverwijk, Haarlem, Heemskerk, Heiloo, Kaag en Braassem, Landsmeer, Leiden, Leiderdorp, Oegstgeest, Teylingen, Uitgeest, Wormerland en Zaanstad gezamenlijk voor een nachtsluiting van Schiphol tussen 23:00 en 07:00 uur.
…
Om de effectiviteit van een nachtsluiting te waarborgen is het voorwaardelijk dat vluchten niet verschuiven naar de randen van de nachtsluiting (22:00– 23:00 uur en 07:00–08:00 uur). Een volledige nachtsluiting tussen 23:00 en 07:00 dient daarom altijd gepaard te gaan met een daling in het aantal vluchten.
…

…
In consequentie leidt een nachtsluiting wat ons betreft tot in totaal minder vluchten. Onder het huidige LVB zijn 27.000 nachtvluchten toegestaan- onderdeel van in totaal 478.000. Indien een nachtsluiting leidt tot het schrappen van vluchten, daalt het aantal vluchten naar 451.000 per jaar. Dat zijn nog altijd meer vluchten dan in het oorspronkelijke krimpvoorstel van minister Harbers (440.000).
