[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:

How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/04
I used [Wayback/Archive] How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub to go
- from github.com/sk3pp3r/cheat-sheet-pdf/blob/master/pdf/vim-cheat-sheet.pdf
- to raw.githubusercontent.com/sk3pp3r/cheat-sheet-pdf/master/pdf/vim-cheat-sheet.pdf
- in future blog post ikwyl6 vim cheat sheet
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)

camerahacks/rpilocator-rss-feed: rpilocator RSS Feed Notifications
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/04
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:

Launch Settings Pages using ms-settings URL shortcuts » Winhelponline
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/03
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:
- [Wayback/Archive] windows start shortcut to Developer Settings page in the Settings app at DuckDuckGo
- [Wayback/Archive] list of ms-settings: shortcuts at DuckDuckGo

Buddy (software) – Wikipedia
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/03
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.

Weerstand van koperdraad – Koperdraad: Gegevens – Wikipedia

Voor warmteontwikkeling in koperkabel was ik benieuwd wat de weerstand voor diverse diameters was.
Gelukkig heeft de Nederlandse pagina Koperdraad: Gegevens – Wikipedia deze tabel (let op weerstand is per 100m!)¹

Security alarm provider Woonveilig/Egardia really needs to work on their notifications towards end-users: outages are too frequend and not communicationed on to their customers
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/01
This was no incident:
[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “Als zowel @WoonVeilig als @Egardia op 2 verschillende systemen een systeemtest failure geven en de apps 500-errors weet je dat hun infrastructuur plat ligt. Al een paar uur geleden, dus heel benieuwd hoe snel ze hun engineers wakker kunnen bellen.”
One of the problem is that Egardia/Woonveilig sees their social media channels as a broadcast-only. You can for instance se this when searching doing a [Wayback/Archive] egardia – Twitter Search or [Wayback/Archive] woonveilig – Twitter Search: no answers from them.
There were similar incidents in the past which I did not document on Twitter, but this outage was so large I had to documented it. So I started the [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App with these images:

Is this the ultimate XKCD “Dependency” derivative?
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/29
Besides the August 2025 XKCD infrastructure dependency inspired cartoon on the right, the more recent and great [Wayback/Archive] XCKD: Dependency derivative below is a monumental piece as it combines the recent:
- fiber outage of the Internet Archive
- DoS of Cloudflare by itself
- AWS us-east-1 dependencies outage
- Crowdstrike DoS of Windows machines
- framework-du-jour mentality in the JavaScript world
- many more¹
