I think we as Germans still cannot really appreciate the effect he had on our country. I also think the war against Ukraine would not have happened if he had been in charge for a few more years, but we will never know. Rest in peace Gorbi!

Installing Webmin on Ubuntu 22.04 server
As a follow up to my notes on installing Webmin on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 (on 20.04 it worked as in 18.04) now two additional steps are necessary for Ubuntu 22.04. Those steps must be executed as root: Convert Webmin's PGP key to a format that apt can use to verify files: [bash] cat jcameron-key.asc … Continue reading Installing Webmin on Ubuntu 22.04 server
Where did Microsoft move the underline menu shortcut option?
So I don't forget: Microsoft seems to love changing the place where they hide useful configuration options. One that I always turn on is "Underline access keys when available" and in Windows 10 it is now in "Keyboard" -> "Change how keyboard shortcuts work" which is about half way down the page just where it … Continue reading Where did Microsoft move the underline menu shortcut option?
Setting colors for Linux ls command
Those people who selected the default colors for the Linux ls command must have much better eyes than I. E.g. I think that dark blue text on black background is very difficult to read, but apparently they think it is fine. Fortunately it is easy to change these colors by setting the LS_COLORS environment variable. … Continue reading Setting colors for Linux ls command
added support for TColor and Local Variables to dzDebugVisualizer
After making the source code of dzDebugVisualizer available I got interested in Debug Visualizers in general and had a look at how they are supported in Delphi 11. I wrote a visualizer for TColor, based on an old EDN article (now only in the Internet Archive). And after that I simply added that functionality to … Continue reading added support for TColor and Local Variables to dzDebugVisualizer
dzDebugVisualizer source code available
Several years ago I wrote a Delphi IDE plugin to extend the functionality of the "Evaluate and Modify" dialog as well as the Watches window called dzDebugVisualizer and even released an update for it. Back then I wasn't sure whether I wanted to open source it or possibly commercialize it. I am now sure that … Continue reading dzDebugVisualizer source code available
dzBdsLauncher 1.0.9 released
I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.9. If started with a .bdsproj file, it will now not just assume that a .dpr file must exist but will check for it and if it does not exist, will try for a .dpk file.
Thunderbird 102.0.3 no longer asks to accept a self signed certificate for IMAP
One of my computer's hard disk didn't survive a recent power failure so I had to set up its Thunderbird client again (a backup didn't work, don't ask). My internal IMAP server uses a self signed certificate which worked like a charm until now. Normally, the first time Thunderbird connects to the server after the … Continue reading Thunderbird 102.0.3 no longer asks to accept a self signed certificate for IMAP
Some Linux tools for handling and filtering the passwd file
Linux (and other Unixes) store user information in a file called passwd and the associated passwords in another file called shadow, both located in /etc. Both files are text files and use a : as the field separator. I currently have the need to sort and filter these files in various ways. This post is … Continue reading Some Linux tools for handling and filtering the passwd file
dxgettext homepage down
The homepage of GnuGetText for Delphi (dxgettext) seems to be down (it redirects to www.delphidk.dk which my DNS cannot resolve). Here is the last archived version on the Internet Archive.
