Hoping I can still use the Twitter API to perform thousands of requests: [Wayback/Archive] Burninator Sec: Twitter Removed the Blocked Account Export – Let’s Put it Back!
I dug around in the Data Archive and eventually found block.js, which is a JSON object of all the blocked accounts in their ideas. From there you can write a quick Python script to use the Twitter API to resolve all of those IDs to usernames.

A while ago I wrote about Figuring out the open network connections for processes ran by python, which explained the TL;DR:
pidof python | tr " " "\n" | xargs -r -n 1 lsof -i -a -e /run/user/1001/gvfs -p
Now I needed thread information as well, so below two examples using ps and pstree. I won’t explain the pidof and xargs stuff here as that was already covered in the above blog-post and I found out that ps already has a built-in way to filter on process name.
The ps solution uses the H, -L or -T argument to show the threads:

Cool that Amnesty International can do a YouTube [Wayback/Archive] Extract Meta Data (Amnesty International).
Via:
I wonder if I can write a Bookmarklet for this (it will likely require an HTTP POST request).

This is a follow-up to Bookmarklets for Archive.is and the WayBack Machine to go to the original page.
Archive.is has two kinds of URLs:
- The encoded version is the short form without any meta-information,
- The canonical version is a long form and has metadata about Archive date and time, and the Archived URL,
You get the first URL both after archiving and when browsing from an archived page to another archived page (if it is not archived you will go the unarchived full page URL).

I’m not alone in feeling hated by printers and multifunctionals.
I had already seen this 2019 comic [Archive.is] System32Comics on Twitter: “Printers nowadays… “ quite a while ago:
- User: Hey printer, can you please print this document?
- Printer: Low on Cyan
- User: Don’t worry, it’s just a black and white text
- Printer: No fuck you, low on Cyan
Printers and the drivers shipped by manufacturers hate me so much, that I now have the habit of using older printers which are better supported out-of-the-box by modern operating systems, hence this tweet:
[Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “I try to avoid using the software provided by the printer manufacturer. Usually stock PCL or PostScript drivers work fine.… “
Thanks to [Archive.is] Matt Schultz 😷 on Twitter: “Seems about right… … “, I found out that early 2021 Stevie Martin came along with this hilarious video [Archive.is] “when you’re trying to print something”:

And of course the System32Comics version was commented immediately: [Archive.is] Mr. Dubi and Dr. Kan on Twitter: “… “ (:
But also a few other nice comments were made that I had not known of before:
I got at that thread because of [Archive.is] Troy Hunt on Twitter: “No? Yes? The UX in this @Epson printer is undoubtedly one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Just insane. (Near new ET-16600 FWIW.)… :
