Having mainly used ssh as a means to connect to a shell on remote machines and occasionally a manual port forward.
I never noticed autossh where you can automate the ssh logon process to keep permanent port forwards up and running. Cool!
It’s on my research list now, as this will be useful probably sooner than later:
My initial impression is that autossh is a wrapper around the regular ssh client that allows reconnection upon communication failures.

Still an interesting thought: [WayBack] Maybe we need a vote here but personally I’d like the next update from Emb to NOT contain any new features at all – just a huge bundle of bug fixes. We… – Chris Pimlott – Google+.
Especially the comments in it are well worth re-reading.
By now a new Delphi version should have been out, so I am curious how the balance between bug fixes and new features was.
Edit: Fixed bugs are features, so in my opinion Embarcadero should release only bug-fix updates and upgrades for at least two years.

Problem with new features is that they usually come with new bugs. Therefore new features take away developer capacity from fixing old bugs twice.

Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:
Dear partners, Please note that we have migrated the latest IP pools of WhatsApp to Facebook Mobile Partner Portal. Feel free to browse to the Settings page of the portal and download the latest WhatsApp IP pool: https://fb.me/mpp_support Further IP pool updates are also done through the portal and are no longer distributed via email or through WhatsApp web site. If you have not yet registered on the Mobile Partner Portal or have difficulties accessing it - please request access through the following form and we'll be happy to assist: https://fb.me/mpp_access For any technical requests please contact us through the Support section of the portal: https://fb.me/mpp_support WhatsApp team
In the past it was the place to get the CIDR so you could either block or allow WhatsApp traffic: [earlier WayBack]
It is still widely cited as way to regulate WhatsApp traffic, for instance at these places:
Time to find an automated way to get the replacement list. Maybe the below helps (via [WayBack] Block facebook messenger and whatsApp on Dlink router – Super User)

Google+ closes in April 2019. The G+ API even sooner.
Via: [WayBack] Google+ bug gave developers access to non-public data from 52.5M users | TechCrunch.
This seems to be a trend, so I need to try to get out before the end of the year.
I think I will move to pluspora.com/people/77b27110adcb013646c5005056268def.

A few things that failed/worked:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Amyuni Technologies\Amyuni PDF Analyzer\_PDFAnalyzer.vb (you can try from www.amyuni.com/…/PDFAnalyzerSetup.exe)I still need to look at the Multivalent.jar when I have a system with Java again, as it is mentioned in [WayBack] pdf generation – Is there a tool to analyze a PDF in terms of fonts, objects, fields and their respective size (kb)? – Stack Overflow

I did this a long time ago, but forgot to blog about it back then: [Archive.is] Windows Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 – OpenDNS.
Summary:
Start with the DNS manager:
%SystemRoot%\system32\dnsmgmt.msc /s
Then open your machine, and double-click
Forwarders:
In the dialog, click the
Editbutton and add DNS servers (for instance Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
In my case it became this:
Google DNS servers added
Click
Donebuttons until all dialogs are closed.
