Visual Studio Code has had a PlantUML extension for a while now

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/17

During my cancer treatments I missed a lot of fun things, including that, a PlantUML extension for vscode (Visual Studio Code) matured into a well-maintained one.

I bumped into it when revisiting git – How to integrate UML diagrams into GitLab or GitHub – Stack Overflow (GitLab was first to natively support PlantUML; hopefully GitHub follows one day) and found the profile of [Wayback/Archive] Fuhrmanator which mentioned the vscode PlantUML extension.

Some links below, as I think it is a cool one!.

version control – How can I see the changes in a Git commit? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/16

[Wayback/Archive] version control – How can I see the changes in a Git commit? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] laktak, [Wayback/Archive] Nevik Rehnel, [Wayback/Archive] Juuso Ohtonen and [Wayback/Archive] User c z – Stack Overflow)

This looks like a valid question, but in reality it is not.

The thing is: in git, think of a commit not as a diff but as a snapshot*.

A diff is the difference between two commits.

Since most commits have just a single parent, so that’s why many people call a commit a diff. But that’s not true, especially not for merge commits that have at least two parents.

Anyway, the question, answer and comment from the link above already give some insight (note COMMIT everywhere below has to be replaced with the commit hash):

Dashboard: Invoices – Proton Account

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/15

For the yearly administration shizzle, the direct link to Dashboard: Invoices – Proton Account (account.proton.me/u/dashboard#invoices) where sometimes you have to visit one of your product first.

The reason is that at the time of writing, this was documented to be in a different place, as per [Wayback/Archive] How to download, customize, or pay invoices | Proton

Log in to your Proton Account at account.proton.me on a computer, click Settings → All settings → Dashboard, and scroll down to Invoices.

You start at [Wayback/Archive] account.proton.me/login and end up at account.proton.me/apps and that is where you cannot choose settings. You can however go to individual products and via that to the above invoices link. That’s cumbersome, it is way easier to just follow that invoices link, but in case you want to go via the products, these are the steps to follow:

Tabel met apotheekvergoedingen per verzekeraar

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/15

Het is weer midden december, dus tijd om na te denken over je zorgverzekering.

Zoals elk jaar maakte de KNMP een tabel van wat welke zorgmiddelen door de diverse verzekeraarsgroepen van zorgverzekeringen vergoed wordt.

Nieuw dit jaar is een kolom over het preferentiebeleid. Voor diverse verzekeraarsgroepen gaan geprefereerde medicijnen niet meer af van het eigen risico: het voorkomt niet alleen verrassingen aan de balie, maar zorgt er ook voor dat je beter de kosten vooraf kunt voorspellen.

Dat een verzekeraar een zorgmiddel niet via de apotheek vergoedt, betekent niet dat het zonder vergoeding is: zo moet ik mijn incontinentiemateriaal bij Medireva bestellen en dan wordt het toch direct aan Medireva vergoed.

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:

A ton of keyboard conversions via GitHub – trekawek/mac-plus-ps2: Arduino project that allows to connect a PS2 keyboard to Macintosh Plus

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/12

This is for earliest compact Apple Macintosh systems predating the introduction ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) on Macintosh SE and Apple Macintosh II (and Apple IIgs which technically is not a Macintosh):

Before continuing to an even more impressive keyboard and mouse interfacing project below (basically many kinds of modern keyboard, mice and gamepads to many retro computers) that I found thanks to doing some more research after finding the above one, lets summarise where the above one is still useful for:

Memory Bandwidth Per Core and Per Socket for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC

I wonder if this has changed over the last few years since this got published early 2023: [Wayback/Archive] Memory Bandwidth Per Core and Per Socket for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC

While we are looking at bandwidth per core, the performance per core has increased by 2.5-3x over the past decade.

Wat notities over het CDN wat de NPO gebruikt voor podcasts

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/11

Nog. niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?

Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.

Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.

Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.

De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
  2. …
  3. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
  4. …
  5. ³

Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:

Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:
