[Wayback/Archive] I can control all your computers – YouTube was the first playful title now known as I tested EVERY single IP KVM – YouTube.
The video is a cool compilation of all the recent (last decade) IP KVM products Jeff has tested so far, which of course started with the Pi-KVM that opened the market from old and expensive IP KVM products.

Interesting, especially for my mentally retarded brother, as it uses a large E-ink display.
For him, it would require some batteries as well.
I learned from this that HomeAssistant has goodl Google integration. Great!

Ever since Chris Hesik spoke on “RAD Studio 2010 what’s new in the IDE debugger”, wanted to write a blog post about it.
Still haven’t found time to do that in depth, but it’s important to at least jot a few notes, so let’s start with the 20111020 conference session notes.

A few years ago, Twitter basically killed API access by making it cost prohibitive for anything but very large organisations.
Here are some links I archived back then that might be able to replace some automation behaviour by using Selenium to drive a web browser.

Lees deze, juist ook als je dit nog nooit aan de hand gehad hebt:
Het sluit enorm goed aan op mijn eigen ervaringen als partner/naaste van, patiënt, overlevende en ondersteuner van andere mensen met (al dan niet terminale) kanker.

[Wayback/Archive] Monitor Brandstofprijzen ACM: lichte daling brandstofprijzen gehele keten, diesel weer goedkoper dan benzine | ACM
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Autoriteit Consument & Markt: “⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehe…” – social.overheid.nl (Mastodon)
⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehele brandstofketen zijn licht gedaald ten opzichte van een maand. Diesel is aan de pomp weer goedkoper dan benzine. Het beeld dat gemiddelde winstmarges niet bij tankstations, maar bovenin in de keten zijn gestegen blijft onveranderd. Dat blijkt uit onze Monitor Brandstofprijzen.

I wrote about Raspberry Pi And The Story Of SD Card Corruption | Hackaday before, quoting my tweet
[Wayback/Archive] @hackaday I’m have been running a few Raspberry Pi systems with 8-32Gb micro-SD cards as web-dashboard with refreshes every few minutes or so: much write access. When using Sandisk (no matter the type) they last about a year, Samsung (no matter the type) cards last multiple years.
That post got scheduled when I was recovering from my rectum cancer treatments and coping with bad LAR-syndrome. The good news when writing is that I survived and LAR-syndrome is more manageable. The bad news is that at the time you read this some 75% of my peer group didn’t, including some good friends .
I write this post at time around 50% of the peer group have passed away. A kind of tribute to them: let them be remembered.
This time I am trying to see if a microSD card causing the boot to hang on starting with “A start job is running for File System Check on /dev/disk/by-id mmc” then containing some time elapsed followed by “/ no limit”.
