Figuring out which COM Surrogate dllhost.exe process to kill (via The Old New Thing)
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/25
A while ago, ejecting a CompactFlash card on Windows 10 failed with the dreaded message “The action can’t be completed because the file is open in COM Surrogate.”
I was in a hurry, and it was a long time since I bumped into a similar message, so I simply rebooted as I knew that for certainly would fix it.
Next time, these links will help me find which dllhost.exe process to kill:

Zorgcriminelen richten zich op Wlz, zorgkantoren beloven actie – Skipr
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/22
Waar altijd de PGB-houders onder vuur liggen, lopen vooral de grote zorginstellingen al jaren de kantjes af van Wlz maar declareren wel alles (vaak 4 maal het PGB tarief van een naaste), betalen de Wlz-“cliënten” volledige eigen bijdrage ook al ontvangen ze meestal veel minder zorg dan geïndiceerd.
Zorgcriminelen hebben dat gat ontdekt: dat kunnen zij ook, maar dan vloeit de winst af naar hunzelf in plaats van externe aandeelhouders van de zorginstellingen.
Die lezen dan ook de handleiding die bij [Wayback Zorgcriminelen richten zich op Wlz, zorgkantoren beloven actie – Skipr gelinkt staat, en volgen precies dezelfde stappen die reguliere zorginstellingen ook gaan volgen.

Be careful running Proxmox with Samsung SSDs
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/22
In 2016, Proxmox within 6 months caused so many media errors on a Samsung MZ-7KE2T0BW 850PRO SSD 2TB that I had to RMA it. A year before that, a friend has similar issues with Samsung SSDs as well.
Other Samsung products seem to suffer with Proxmox when NCQ is enabled [Wayback/Archive] 201693 – Samsung 860 EVO NCQ Issue with AMD SATA Controller.
Reminded because of [Wayback/Archive] corbosman on Twitter: “@jpluimers That might be because of excessive logging. But sure, it’s relatively old but still relevant if you own this specific combination of hardware. For me the workaround was not turned on automatically.”.

Some tools for conference organisers

Just in case I ever get involved in organising a conference:

Some notes on the The Internet Archive command-line interface (CLI) and Python API tools
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/20
Few people realise that in addition to uploading through the Internet Archive web user interface at [Wayback/Archive] Upload to Internet Archive, you can also upload through the command-line.
Fewer people know using the CLI is more reliable, as the web UI often has trouble with recovery from upload interruptions (but it is better than the Wayback Machine archiver which seems to have no recovery options at all).
Jason Scott responded to a really rude comment of an uploader, but the Internet Archive does not really advocate the CLI uploader much. I added a comment, but doubt that has changed: it regrettably is an organisation that has a track record of being quite reluctant to publicly show improvement.
The whole thread is at [Wayback/Archive] Post by @textfiles.com — Bluesky: Regarding large-size uploads, especially over, let’s say, 750mb to the Internet Archive, I highly suggest the ia command-line client, which has a separate pathway not dealing with weird browser oddities and behavior.… and archived for posterity.
TL;DR
- you can batch upload to the base Internet Archive
- you cannot batch upload to the Wayback Machine of the internet archive
First, a list on how you can find the CLI tooling the normal way:
