On Firefox, taking a screenshot is just a shortcut away [Wayback/Archive] Take screenshots in Firefox | Firefox Help:

Too bad Mozilla also appears to be amongst the bad guys in firing an employee having cancer ¹.
On Chrome not so much and require opening the Chrome Developer Tools which take up precious screen estate, and saves the screenshot in the downloads folder instead of the clipboard. Many guides exist, for instance:

With the permission of Adobe Systems Inc., the Computer History Museum is pleased to make available, for non-commercial use, the source code to the 1990 version 1.0.1 of Photoshop. All the code is here with the exception of the MacApp applications library that was licensed from Apple. There are 179 files in the zipped folder, comprising about 128,000 lines of mostly uncommented but well-structured code. By line count, about 75% of the code is in Pascal, about 15% is in 68000 assembler language, and the rest is data of various sorts.

TL;DR: it failed
Since GL.iNET does not support site-to-site “Peer to Peer” OpenVPN (only “Remote Access” is supported) which is needed to route to/from the networks on both sides of the connection. the below did fail.
Original idea
Below was what I hoped to function.
Some links that should get me started (though my situation is a tad more difficult, see below):

I have had JavaScript disabled by default for years now, which means that:
- if your site requires JavaScript, I will opt for an alternative
- I will block anything ad related, even if it means I cannot use your site
The reasons are simple:
- JavaScript has become a big security threat over time. Be it tracking (hello fingerprinting!), data leakage, direct attacks, supply chain attacks, sloppy code or other risks, JavaScript is not vulnerable just by itself, but especially the eco systems (hello npm – 2 attacks in September 2025 alone – and advertising networks) using it. Just a few references:
- [Wayback/Archive] The perils of JavaScript: How we’ve broken the internet’s security
- [Wayback/Archive] Most Common Security Vulnerabilities Using JavaScript – SecureCoding
- [Wayback/Archive] Supply Chain Security Alert: Popular Nx Build System Package Compromised with Data-Stealing Malware – StepSecurity
- [Wayback/Archive] Wormable Malware Causing Supply Chain Compromise of npm Code Packages – Arctic Wolf
- [Wayback/Archive] FingerprintJS | Identify Every Web Visitor & Mobile Device
- JavaScript has become a huge resource hog. Disabling JavaScript by default increased the snappiness and battery life of my laptops and smartphones significantly. In addition, it makes it way easier to read region-blocked content. Double win!
The below thread by [Wayback/Archive] Dr. Christopher Kunz (@christopherkunz@chaos.social) – chaos.social sparked me to finally write why and add some relevant links.

What you carry around in a tool bag is always very personal.
What other people carry around is a great learning opportunity, especially when they have put in self-made or self-assembled tools.
So thanks Clive for releasing this very personal video: [Wayback/Archive] Big Clive: Lighting tech tool bag tour 2025 – YouTube

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!.
