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.”

In potentially multi-threaded .NET Console applications, ensure `Console.EnsureInitialized` gets called for at least output, and potentially for input
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/02
An interesting issue at [Wayback/Archive] Khalid ⚡️: “I just used #JetBrainsRider to find a deadlock scenario in #dotnet that I would not have guessed would deadlock. The Console needs to be initialized since the initialization uses a lock the first time. Using it in parallel tasks causes deadlocks. #dotnet This is excellent tooling!…” – Mastodon.
It boils down to a non-public Console.EnsureInitialized method being called from multiple threads causes deadlocks. So far, it looks it can only be called as part of referring to Console.In or Console.Out.
I could only find one potentially related bug, which is [Wayback/Archive] NativeRuntimeEventSource behaving poorly in conjunction with other providers · Issue #88011 · dotnet/runtime · GitHub and being worked on, for .NET 9 or later:

Reminder to self: write a Bookmarklet that shortens YouTube URLs to the youtu.be ones
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/02
When sharing YouTube videos via the mobile apps, they are shortened using the youtu.be domain.
So this is a reminder to write a Bookmarklet based URL-shortener myself for this and extend it so it also understands the various YouTube URL parameters (like start time).
The transformation is documented:

MSI installation error 1603 – Windows Server | Microsoft Learn
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/01
This happens a lot with apps that auto-update before package manager contain that update: [Wayback/Archive] MSI installation error 1603 – Windows Server | Microsoft Learn
Cause
You may receive this error message if any one of the following conditions is true:
- Windows Installer is attempting to install an app that is already installed on your PC.
- The folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to is encrypted.
- The drive that contains the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to is accessed as a substitute drive.
- The SYSTEM account does not have Full Control permissions on the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to. You notice the error message because the Windows Installer service uses the SYSTEM account to install software.
Query: [Wayback/Archive] Exit code was ‘1603’ – Google Search

Firex 230V koppelbare rookmelders, type KF20 en KF20R, levensduur 10 jaar
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/28
Een aantal PDF bestanden, omdat we Kidde rookmelders hadden en deze daarmee koppelbaar zijn: “Koppelmogelijkheden: 24 Firex en Kidde melders zijn bedraad koppelbaar”
- [Wayback PDF View/PDF View] [Wayback/Archive] 14fcff3ca6395ea19180-e28dea9290b98a380fe8af8e9eca99dc.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/pdf-16131960.pdf “Firex 230V koppelbare rookmelders, type KF20 en KF20R, levensduur 10 jaar”
Montage methode
De Firex melders zijn voorzien van een “push-fit” stekker met 15 cm bekabeling om de melder op de huisbedrading aan te sluiten.
De KF20 en KF20R passen direct op de montageplaat van de eerdere modellen Firex 4973 en 4985. Om stof tijdens verhuizing te voorkomen wordt een stofkap bijgeleverd.
Koppelmogelijkheden
Maximaal 24 Firex en Kidde rook-, hitte-, en CO-melders kunnen doorgekoppeld worden, met 6 melderaccessoires (relaismodule, flitslicht, trilkussen etc.).
Vervuilingscompensatie
Vervuiling van de optische kamer wordt automatisch gecompenseerd om onnodige alarmen tegen te gaan.
…
Rookmelders worden toegepast in ontsnappingsroutes en verblijf- ruimtes van woonhuizen waar gevaar is voor ontbranding van meubilair en/of elektrische installaties. Plaats de Firex hitte- melder KF30 of KF30R in stoffige, vochtige ruimtes of in keukens.

Thread by @malmoeb on attacks: Visibility is key for eradication
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/28
[Wayback/Archive] Thread by @malmoeb on Thread Reader App: Visibility is key for eradication.
The thread is about attacks on networks with Windows machines, but the concept works on all networks.
Start of thread: [Wayback/Archive] Stephan Berger on Twitter: “1/ Visibility is key for eradication 🥷 In a recent IR case, the TA created persistences with #QakBot on almost every system in the network. If only individual systems in the network were forensically examined, one or more infected systems would undoubtedly be missed. 🧵”
The gist is to setup your network monitoring in such a way that you can quickly identify compromised systems based on network traffic patterns.

Diagnosing ThinkPad T510 shutting down after ~30 seconds: heat problem?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/27
A while ago, [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “The ThinkPad T510 problem was easier to resolve than anticipated: a dust problem after all. This video helped opening up the internals: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrjoiH5LS3g When it re-occurs, the next step is remove fan, re-apply thermal paste then add fan again. Thanks for all the tips!”
Below are some pictures (including some great tools I made/have) which I made after disassembling according to this video: [Wayback/Archive] Lenovo ThinkPad T510 disassembly and fan demontage [no audio]. – YouTube
