Lode Runner Web Game
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/24
Just found out about [Wayback] Lode Runner Web Game:
A HTML5 (CreateJS) remake of Lode Runner
I have played that way too much in my Apple ][ and //e days.
Hopefully I won’t be addicted to it as back in those days.
Just watching the demo mode is soooooo cool!
I remember designing my own lievens, then winning from the local Apple shop (Vlasveld Computers, which also had a country wide Apple magazine). Cool days!

dd on MacOS / OS X with progress report
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/21
Since dd on Apple does not support progress parameters via [Wayback] macos dd progress – Google Search:
- [Wayback] Quick: dd with progress indication on macOS
A nice way I found to get progress indication whilst still being able to benefit from the huge speed increase in using
/dev/rdiskXis to install a tool calledpv, also known as [WayBack] Pipe Viewer.Example:
sudo dd if=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m | pv -s 64G | sudo dd of=/dev/rdiskY bs=1mAnother way to achieve something similar would be to use brew to install
coreutils, which will come with a newer version of dd that supports the status option.Example:
gdd if=/dev/diskX of=/dev/diskY bs=1m status=progress - [Wayback] el capitan – How can I track progress of dd – Ask Different
You just need to enter a controlT character from the keyboard while the
ddcommand is executing.By pressing the controlT character, you are sending the same
SIGINFOsignal to theddcommand that the commandpkill -INFO -x ddsends.dditself doesn’t provide a progress bar. You may estimate the progress of the dd copy process by adding a pkill -INFO command though.Example:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=64m count=1000 & while pkill -INFO -x dd; do sleep 1; done - [Wayback] dd progress indicator on OSX
signal siginfo is coupled to key-combination CTRL-T. No need to use kill, you can just type CTRL-T in the terminal window where dd is running.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/21
The proper way is not manually changing /etc/hostname, but running this::
hostnamectl set-hostname host

RFC2606: Reserved Top Level DNS Names (RFC); draft-ellermann-idnabis-test-tlds-04: Reserved Top Level DNS Names (Internet-Draft, 2008)
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/20
Note
Though there are .example.edu and .example.info, though used in documentation and registered by IANA, have a status is different from the official Reserved Top Level DNS Names:
This is not exactly the same situation as for say ".example.org", where IANA is the registrant *and* registrar.
Wikipedia links:
-
- .example – Wikipedia
- .invalid – Wikipedia
- .local – Wikipedia
- .localhost – Wikipedia
- .test – Wikipedia
- localhost – Wikipedia
- Email address: Reserved domains – Wikipedia
Of note for e-mail are
example,invalid,example.com,example.net, andexample.org. - Example.com – Wikipedia (which puts
example.eduon the same level asexample.com,example.netandexample.org; this is not true, despite the domain being registered by the IANA, the IANA is not the registrar of the.edudomain) - Top-level domain: Reserved domains – Wikipedia
Reserved by RFC 2606 and explained further in RFC 6761:
- .test
- .example
- .invalid
- .localhost
Reserved by RFC 6762: .local
Reserved by RFC 7686: .onion
Reservation proposal by Internet-Draft draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal-00: .internal

Some links on Chrome not prompting to save passwords (when Firefox and Safari do)
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/20
For quite some time now, Chrome (think years) refuses to prompt for saving passwords whereas Firefox and Safari do prompt and save them, even for site types that it used to save passwords for in the past.
It has been annoying enough for too long now that I tried to do better than the Google searches I used back when I saw this happen first.
Below are some links based on new searches (starting with [Wayback] adding a password in chrome settings – Google Search); hopefully I can try them after I made a list of sites that Chrome does not show the password save prompt for.
Solutions I tried that failed (but maybe useful for others):
- [Wayback] windows 7 – Chrome not asking to remember passwords – Super User: restart your browser
- First answer of [Wayback] How can I manually add a password to Chrome password manager? – Super User : check if “Autofill” a.k.a. “Offer to save passwords” is enabled and the site is not on the “Never Saved” list of sites.
- Second answer of [Wayback] How can I manually add a password to Chrome password manager? – Super User Check if there is a password
inputfield being marked withtype="password", and if not add it.
Solutions still to try:
