Since a few years, YouTube puts annoyingly overlays on top of like the last 5 to 10 seconds of videos often covering valuable content.
Lately – while preparing for concerts – I have watched a lot of score music videos where the end really is very important to me (see the example below), for instance when rehearsing [Wayback/Archive] La Alhambra – Llano – YouTube until the final end.
The solution came from [Wayback/Archive] How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

For my link archive a router I bought a few years back: [Wayback/Archive] GL-SFT1200 Secure Wi-Fi Router On The Go – AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router | IPv6 | USB 2.0 | MU-MIMO | 128MB RAM | Repeater Bridge | Access Point-M Mode: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
- It is USB-C powered (the power brick delivers 3A at 5V, but in reality it uses far less).
- Mode and reset buttons are behind the antenna (see picture below).
- It is specced as AC1200, but that’s just theoretical a number.
- It came with EU and UK plug.
I needed it because from prior experience, I knew GL.iNEt can support a special Wireless Repeater mode where it still functions as a router (hiding the LAN/WLAN behind NAT)
Two physical drawbacks likely due to the portable nature:
the plastic RJ45 ports are slightly too wide which means that these keep falling out [Wayback/Archive] Inline® Dust cover, for RJ45 socket, color: green, 100pcs. Pack: Amazon.de: Electronics & Photo- no holes in the base to hang it to a wall
One firmware drawback: it shipped with v3.212 for which I could not find release notes. Luckily the firmware v3.215 I upgraded to had: [Wayback/Archive] Firmware v3.215 is released – Technical Support – GL.iNet.
Links to product and manuals (the paper manual are just two thin sheets, but the on-line documentation is OK; I was surprised WireGuard and Tor were supported!):

[Wayback/Archive] Irrational measuring stick: The Venn Diagram of pseudoscientific nonsense – Genetic Literacy Project has some explanation on the incarnation of the below cool diagram on various incarnations of four basic sets or bollocks: Religion, Quackery, Pseudoscience and the Paranormal. The center of the diagram should not surprise anyone:

I used [Wayback/Archive] How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub to go
The reason I needed it is that for quite a while now, GitHub has started to display PDF files as preview, and modified the download behaviour to get a blob: link instead of the actual raw file download location.
On the to do list:
- figure out the same for raw files in gists
- figure out the same for GitLab
- convert these into Bookmarklets (fiddle with the bold parts in the above URLs)
Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Lotaristo (Czeslaw Meyer) and [Wayback/Archive] byrneh (Hugh Byrne)

On my list to experiment with is [Wayback/Archive] camerahacks/rpilocator-rss-feed:
This is the official rpilocator.com and hwlocator.com RSS feed reader and push notification scripts and Node-RED flows. The RSS feed is checked every minute and the script/flow sends a push notification when a product comes in stock.
Send ntfy, Pushbullet, Pushover or Gotify notifications to your device.
I only knew one of the above services, so here I have listed links to all of them:

This post from 2023 [Wayback/Archive] Launch Settings Pages using ms-settings URL shortcuts » Winhelponline
This list will tremendously help me quickly navigating directly to Windows settings pages.
In case the list is not complete, there are others lists – like [Wayback/Archive] Windows 11 ms-settings Commands (Settings URI Shortcuts) – which I found via the second query.
Maybe one day, I will merge the results of a few of those results. If so, a new blog post will follow.
Got the first via a late edit of my blog post gsudo (sudo for windows).
Queries:

Interesting: Buddy (software) – Wikipedia
Buddy (also known as Buddy.Works) is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery software for Git developers that can be used to build, test and deploy web sites and applications with code from GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. It employs Docker containers with pre-installed languages and frameworks for builds, alongside DevOps, monitoring and notification actions.
On my list of things to try in case built-in GitGub and GitLab functionality does not suffice my needs any more.
I wonder how well it runs on ARM architecture.
