Intermittent but frequent OS X pauses may be from iCloud syncing | MacIssues
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/21
fseventer is a great tool for investigating Mac OS X file system events. Like many low-level tools, it requires admin privileges.
This is apparent through the use of the tool “fseventer” which monitors what files on your hard drive are being accessed.

How to add screenshot to markdown/READMEs in github repository ? (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/20
Adding relative links to screenshots in markdown files (like README.md) works way better at GitHub than on BitBucket:
- site / master / issues / #6589 – Markdown relative link to image and other readme does not work — Bitbucket.
- site / master / issues / #6315 – Relative urls in readme.md files only work half the time. BB-7521 — Bitbucket.
For GitHub, this works, has documentation and various places with tips:
- Relative links in READMEs · GitHub Help.
- How to add screenshot to READMEs in github repository ? – Stack Overflow.
In fact it is a reason for some people to move public projects from Bitbucket to GitHub.
For private repositories that is different as GitHub charges for private repositories, but BitBucket has free private repositories.
Note: if you go the npm way, then you might want to have absolute URLs: Add images to readme.md in GitHub – Stack Overflow.

Dynamic DNS through NO-IP: keeping your hosts current, and your NO-IP account happy.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/19
Now that DynamicDNS moved itself to a fully payed service, named it DynDns Pro, then renamed it Remote Access and limiting it to 30 hosts for USD 25 a year, I looked for alternatives, and noticed NO-IP.
I like it for a few reasons:
- Far less pushy to get into higher payed services.
- Easy to navigate the DNS products they offer.
- Free for up to 3 hosts (but requires you to login at the web-site or change IP addresses every 30 days).
- Each 25 hosts costs about USD 20 per year (each new set of 25 hosts costs a little less per year).
OK, last year, there was this Microsoft Legal Action and Controversy, but I think that is a once time thing (some people even argue that Microsoft wasn’t thinking), so I created the last script below in PowerShell.
A few open-source scripts to keep your NO-IP account happy (that also work on most other DDNS providers like Duck DNS):

Oh wow. Apparently all S3 buckets are also BitTorrent trackers.

Interesting:
There is no extra charge for use of BitTorrent with Amazon S3. Data transfer via the BitTorrent protocol is metered at the same rate as client/server delivery. To be precise, whenever a downloading BitTorrent client requests a “piece” of an object from the…

You can get torrent only for objects that are less than 5 GB in size.

From batch file or shortcut: start Windows Update (via: Windows 7 Help Forums)
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/15
Call either of these from a batch file or Windows shortcut to end up at the Windows Update screen in the Control Panel:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler wuapp.exe
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}
Notes:
- I’ve tested this in Windows 7, 8.x and 9 and it works fine in all these.
- Unlike
Control PrinterscallingControl Updatesdoes not work. - I suspect there are many more magic GUID values you could use for other functions because the built-in syntax has been there for a long time.
