Note: Also available in German 🙂 A colleague of mine today: There is a shortcode with strange-looking, cryptic characters in one of its attributes. Something like this: eyJoYWxsbyI6IndlbHQiLCJzb25nLXRpdGVsIjp7Im1laW4iOiJnZWhpcm4iLCJkZWluIjoiZ2VoaXJuIn0sInVybCI6Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdXNhYmlsaXR5LWlkZWFsaXN0Lm5ldCUyRiUyM2tvbnRha3QiLCJlaW5zX3BsdXMiOnRydWV9 My comment: Looks a bit like rot13 .. His reply a bit later on: Yes, it is base64, and the result is a JSON string. Putting the […]

Randnotiz: Komische kryptische Zeichenketten in Shortcodes
Heute beim Kollegen gehabt: Shortcode mit komischen, kryptischen Zeichen in einem Attributwert. Sowas hier in der Art: eyJoYWxsbyI6IndlbHQiLCJzb25nLXRpdGVsIjp7Im1laW4iOiJnZWhpcm4iLCJkZWluIjoiZ2VoaXJuIn0sInVybCI6Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdXNhYmlsaXR5LWlkZWFsaXN0Lm5ldCUyRiUyM2tvbnRha3QiLCJlaW5zX3BsdXMiOnRydWV9 Mein Kommentar: Sieht aus wie rot13 .. Antwort etwas später: Ja, ist base64, und es kommt am Ende JSON dabei raus. Ergo meine Probe aufs Exempel: This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be […]
Linux & Notebooks: How to disable the touchpad
This is just a small reminder to myself – and others, who might run into the same issue. There are many solutions on how to permanently or even semi-permanently disable the touchpad, when eg. just using the trackpad on a ThinkPad, or more common: When having plugged in a mouse. There is this lovely program […]
GTK Youtube Viewer: Using totem instead of the default players
As a matter of fact, totem aka the GStreamer framework, happens to support playing videos from Youtube directly, as well as offering a slightly cranky search dialogue. Out of no reason VLC doesnt want to work together with GTK Youtube Viewer, mplayer is a major resource hog and SMplayer doesnt let me skip / seek […]
Slashing back ..
Kleiner Test .. Zitat von woanders: (unter Windows, bitte „/“ durch Backslash ersetzen – WordPress kann das offenbar nicht darstellen Also, mal gucken: Hallo, Back Slash! \ – ein kleiner Backslash \\ – zwei kleine Backshlashes (oder ein “escapter” kleiner Backslash) “\” – ein Backslash in Anführungszeichen .. Nachtrag: Was mir aufgefallen ist – nach […]
Slashing back ..
This is a little test .. lets see: Quoting from somewhere else: (unter Windows, bitte „/“ durch Backslash ersetzen – WordPress kann das offenbar nicht darstellen Translates roughly to “under Windows, please replace “/” with the back slash – WordPress is apparently not able to display it”. Well, lets see about that: Hello, Back Slash! […]
Rumbustion all anew
As it happens, I recently had a new chance in doing THAT show. Ie. Rumbustion, which originally started out of the wish, the need for playing different genres than just Extreme Metal and Punk-related stuff; nowadays, its mostly electronic music, and at that, primarly the not so dance chart shitty stuff, ie. EBM, Industrial, Powernoise, […]
Stout Programming
For those slightly uninterested in all things of Programming .. there is this one other passion I sacrifice myself for: Musik! And then there was The Show! Black’N’Deather – very much Black, some Death. Metal, of corpse. Now, this lovely show has been around for over 9 years. You might want to tune in live […]
Fun with CSS: Image Text Overlay
So I’ve been fighting this week with “Hero Images” – images with a text overlay. Now, the regular style is not a full overlay, but text usually positioned at the bottom or top of the whole scenery. What I needed was horizontally (easy) and VERTICALLY centered text (hard). So this is actually a case of […]
Ubuntu LTS 14.04: Fix Java 1.8 issues
Quick shot for fixing issues with missing Java 1.8: 1. Add PPAs Get yourself the right PPA – apparently JDK 1.8 is still not available for Ubuntu 14.04 (correct me if I’m wrong though), thus: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-fonville/ppa sudo apt-get update Source: https://askubuntu.com/a/613324 As I’m happily using Synaptic, the next line would […]
