before I can fix this tractor, we have to fix copyright law – copyright law shouldn’t keep me from fixing a tractor

This only works, if your proxy also supports SOCKS.

netcat’s specific options:

-x : specify proxy address and port
-X : proxy protocol: …, “5” (SOCKS), …

This approach should also work for a few more applications.

Jenkins with a troubled thinBackup configuration causes weird message: “Jenkins is going to shut down”

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26218018/jenkins-is-going-to-shut-down/26639029

Jenkins’s “quiet mode” is the state that cause Jenkins to display “Jenkins is going to shut down” in a yelling red bar on top of the page.

Q:What is Jenkins’s “quiet mode”?
A: It’s about quieting down Jenkins (in preparation for a restart) – no new build job will get accepted in this mode. This mode will get cleared, once Jenkins will have started anew.

how to export from Atlassian Confluence

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-139475.html – not that bad 😀
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Exporting+Confluence+Pages+and+Spaces+to+PDF — “Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools from the bottom of the sidebar”
I would really like to get the list of target formats extended, but this list isn’t really, really that poor
my wishlist WRT target formats: mediawiki, DocBook
my preferred exports: HTML / Custom Export (can be used w/o Confluence), XML / Custom Export (can be reimported to Confluence)

WordPress plugin “Duplicate Post”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/

Sometimes I update an article after quite some while and it does not get “published” again, does not gain attention etc, but duplicating it (quite likely also truncating it a little) solves the problem.

Sometimes I might even remove the original afterwards. Yes, being able to get the original re-published might serve this purpose. But how to achieve it?

where would I re-import an Atlassian Confluence export to?

Atlassian offers “Confluence in the cloud” for 10 USD/month — not really big money, but for my modest purposes more money than I want to spend
…

Actually I only want to preserve the “brain work” that I created during my life. I’m not sure I need a running (expensive) Atlassian Confluence for that.
