Keeping a personal Knowledge Base

Today I want to give a Software Recommendation; Joplin. In the grand journey of life, there comes a point when the sheer volume of knowledge accumulated over the years becomes overwhelming. That’s when the things you learned over Time becomes an invaluable asset. For those of us who’ve embarked on the quest to tame the information beast, a personal knowledge base and note-taking tool are needed companions. I’ve tried various tools like Notion, Evernote, and Obsidian, each with its unique strengths. But in the end, my heart settled on Joplin. ...

$this->DomainName got Changed

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. There are several reasons, the most important one is that my old domain got some big hit and “Negative” Backlinks over the many past years. The old Domain solariz.de was registered more then 20 Years ago, in this Time I did a lot of changes on the Domain, CMS, files I hosted and so on. Those gave me a lot of different Backlinks from all over the World – you might think Backlinks are a great thing. ...

Tencent übernimmt HoN

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: With LoL’s rise and DOTA2’s push, HoN struggles despite a loyal fanbase. Tencent, owner of Riot Games, secured full HoN rights for China, aiming at MOBA dominance; they also own SMITE and tried to buy Strife. This likely benefits HoN via investment. HoN now ready for China. ...

Aufreger: Schlechte Captcha`s

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: CAPTCHA: acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. Intended to block bots, used in registrations/forms. But some are unreadable, frustrating users and increasing bounce rates. Today I couldn’t register because the CAPTCHA was like a Rorschach test. Developers, please consider usability; many won’t try five times. ...

Youtube Gema Sperre umgehen: Proxtube für Chrome

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: ProxTube, popular for bypassing YouTube’s GEMA block, is now available for Chrome. It detects the block message and reloads the video via a foreign proxy, only for the client login step, not the whole stream. A cited lawyer says using a proxy to bypass geoblocking does not break the law. ...

Ein Tag im Leben eines Password Hashs

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I discuss hashes due to recent data leaks (Sony, Ashampoo). Passwords should be stored as hashes, not plaintext. Hashing isn’t encryption; it can’t be reversed. Example with digit sum shows collisions. Common algorithms: MD5, SHA; others include Whirlpool, Tiger, RipeMD, Haval, Adler32. Example: 12345 -> md5, SHA-1, Haval. ...

testing Wow ChatMOD rev. 132 for 3.1.0

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. [![](/images/09/wowscrnshot_041809_120334.png)](http://solariz.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/wowscrnshot-041809-1203348x6.jpg) Ok, first of all, this post is written in English because I want to collect feedback not just from German users. After 7 months without a really necessary update, I have to change some things due to minor compatibility issues reported by some users. The work I did this noon was mainly fixing bugs reported since the last revision 131 in October '08. I also updated some parts of the language files and decided to switch the whole Addon to UTF-8 encoding because of the Chinese version. ### Custom Highlighter But besides several bug fixes, the custom highlighter function was improved. In the past, there was this nasty behavior of the highlighter, highlighting text parts within words. For example, you configured to highlight the word "Resi," and now the highlighter did its job and highlighted everything with the substring "resi." This leads to strange highlightings like **Resi**stance. Since rev 132, there is an additional option in the Highlighter screen "full words only." I guess I do not have to explain what it actually does. ### Some Denounced Functions Actually, only two. The first is the "Dismount on Taxi." This function is now implemented in the Game Client itself, so no need for the Mod to do this. The second one is the Itemlinker. This module caused me trouble since I first implemented it. There are some other great mods out there just doing item linking. Currently, the WoW client supports so many kinds of links that it's simply too much to have this as a goodie function in a chat mod. ### Current Changelog * update locale zhCN * chinese wow client chatmod fix * Aizotu fix, ClassToNum * updated to current Wow Version * main files now UTF-8 * Mod. custom highlighter UI added button for "only full word" * Custom Highlighter improved * general code cleanup and prep. for further patches * removed autodismount because client can do this without a mod now * Removed Item Linking features, why? type `/chatmod chatlink` ### Current Status and Testing Because I'm not playing WoW actively at the moment, I have no possibility to test the new release in a "real environment." Of course, I did a basic "dry testing" of all functions, but you know there are many things that could cause errors you can't really test sitting in Ironforge ;) Btw, thanks to Hudiny who lent his account for rev 132 development. My request to everybody who downloads the rev 132 testing version: Please post any found error or strange behavior as a comment below this post. I will give this testing round about a week and try to fix all commented bugs on the next weekend. After this fix, I will put online a public non-beta.

Deutsche Stopwords

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Many blogs use tag clouds to guide users and search engines. The issue is language: common words (e.g., jene, welche, sein) are poor tags, so stopword lists exclude them. I shared my list for CMS/plugins like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal. Made for blogs/news; includes unwanted web keywords. GitHub: https://github.com/solariz/german_stopwords ...
