Pandoc gives two right quotes instead of left and right
1 June 2026 @ 2:10 pm
Pandoc is using the wrong quotes,
$ echo '綠色"1000"'|pandoc|
xargs unicode --max 0|grep QUOT
U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
It should give one left and one right. Help.
Why do some sites only create one chrome://history/ entry?

Visit,

Now look in chrome://history/ . Why is there only one entry instead of three?
Error while installing self signed CA certificate in Android 12
1 June 2026 @ 1:32 pm
For my OpenWRT router I generated a self signed certificate to get rid of browsers SSL error/warning.
OpenSSL config:
[req]
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
x509_extensions = v3_req
prompt = no
string_mask = utf8only
[req_distinguished_name]
C = US
ST = CA
L = Wulnut
O = OpenWrt
OU = Home Router
CN = openwrt
[v3_req]
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[alt_names]
DNS.1 = openwrt
IP.1 = 192.168.1.1
OpenSSL command:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 397 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout mycert.key -out mycert.crt -config myconfig.conf
Adding the generated certificate to windows was successful but when I try to import it in the Android 12 phone I get: Private key is required to install a certificate
Narrow vscode extensions exposure to dependent binary
1 June 2026 @ 1:22 pm
The scenario is that I'm configuring the CppCheck plugin which relies on cppcheck.exe, but my question ends up being more generic.
The documentation says
Requirements
Cppcheck must be installed to your system! You'll need to add cppcheck to the "PATH" environment variable in Windows
...but I don't want to do that, among many other reasons because Windows would expose every DLL in that directory. It's not only possible but likely that its copy of Qt will interfere with other applications (including applications in development) on my machine.
Instead, I want to symlink cppcheck.exe to a
MS Word keeps opening a blank document "doc.aspx" instead of the file I wanted
1 June 2026 @ 12:27 pm
This has started in the last couple of weeks and is very puzzling:
In MS Word I go to the file menu and search for a document
I select the document from the drop-down
Word loads a blank document called "Doc.aspx"
If I go back to the file menu and search again it loads the document I wanted
It works fine for the rest of the day (even if I restart Word), but then happens again with the first attempt of the next day (even if I hibernate the laptop and leave Word running)
Any ideas? We're on a corporate SharePoint environment.
Is an extreme CPU temperature an indicator for bad software optimisation?
1 June 2026 @ 11:32 am
I just want to know if the statement "Is an extreme CPU temperature an indicator for bad software optimisation?" would be true.
If we take an optimal setup, meaning the CPU has the right amount of fresh thermal paste applied, the cooler is rated for more TDP than the CPU produces, the ventilation inside the case is optimal and the temperature in the room where the setup is located is also at "room temperature".
In my mind, the CPU shouldn't be able to be pushed far over the max temperature where the CPU starts to throttle. As far as I understand it, the CPU actively tries to push as much performance as possible while trying to edge on the temperature limit, meaning it would be pretty normal that your CPU would edge on 95°C with 100% usage if the CPU is rated for maximum 95°C.
What started this question is that I have read that Path of Exile 2 pushes the temperature from players right to the maximum on loading screens and

Slow Network Performance from i3-1220P Mini-PC
1 June 2026 @ 9:11 am
I've been trying to setup a Debian 13 mini-PC for use as a Speedify channel bonding router to combine a Starlink and T-Mobile connection and I'm stumped. My Beeline EQi12 with an i3-1220P, dual 2.5G ethernet ports (Realtek RTL811H) and WiFi 6 (Intel AX200) is getting relatively poor network performance out of both of its ethernet ports and its WiFi connection. I also tried the Cable Matters 2.5Gbps USB-C adapter, which yielded no discernible improvement.
Every configuration (internal ethernet to the ISP routers, wifi to them, aforementioned USB-C adapter) I've tried falls short of the speed from the iPhone gets from the Starlink and T-Mobile routers. For example, the iPhone can get 1.3Gbps down from T-Mobile's home router, but when I attempt to run Speedtest.net from the mini-PC I get a much slower 150-250 Mbps on average. Given all the different attempts, I'm trying to figure out
How can I create a slideshow offline, with just pandoc?
1 June 2026 @ 12:54 am
The pandoc man page mentions
For DZSlides, the (relatively short) JavaScript and CSS are included in the file by default.
Alas, checking
$ pandoc --print-default-data-file \
templates/default.dzslides
reveals dependencies on Google fonts. How can I remove such dependency,
so I can create the slideshow offline, and with no additional packages,
only pandoc?
