Having cancer is not a fight or a battle, it is about having luck or misfortune

It has been a while after my last post about me having cancer. No, I am not giving up. But I am having the regular fear of the upcoming checks: did the metastases return, or do I have the luck to outlive some 30% of my peer group.

The last metastases surgery has been slightly more than a year ago. A year from now, that percentage hopefully will be 50% and slowly increase over time until about 90% in some 9 years from now.

At year’s end, I will know for sure.

Below are some links on, mostly Dutch but with English abstract, articles about the mental side of having cancer, or having survived it for now.

Anonymously adding a site to the Google Search Engine seems only possible through non-Dutch end-points

I was trying to figure out a way to add a non-indexed URL to the Google Search Engine.

It turns out I could not find English end-points to do that, just non-English ones like:

• [Wayback/Archive] Google: Voeg je site toe (on google.nl)
• [Wayback/Archive] Google: Voeg je site toe (on google.com)
• [Wayback/Archive] Google: Adiciona sua URL
• [Wayback/Archive] Google: Adicionar URL
• [Wayback/Archive] Google: Legg til webadresse

Based on the above end-points, you might guest that these below work too:

Albert Heijn needs to give their AH-mobiel pre-paid user-experience more love

If you have an prepaid Dutch AH-mobiel SIM card, topping it up or refilling is a hell as none of the web-links you get via SMS or top vouchers function.

When you get an SMS warning that your account is almost running out, it contains the link to [Wayback/Archive] ah.nl/opwaarderen which has no indication how to refill.

When buying a refill voucher at the Albert Heijn store, it contains two links that lead to HTTP 404 error pages:

• [Wayback/Archive] Albert Heijn – Pa­gi­na niet ge­von­den – 404-error – ah.nl/beltegoed
• [Wayback/Archive] Albert Heijn – Pa­gi­na niet ge­von­den – 404-error – ah.nl/mobiel

Albert Heijn has their own [Wayback/Archive] ah.nl domain (which sometimes is totally down), but the refill link is on a completely different domain which – from a phishing point of view – is ideal to lure people into other refill pages.

The only Albert Heijn web-page linking to the actual refill link is [Wayback/Archive] Sim Only | Albert Heijn: ah.nl/over-ah/winkelservices/mobiel/sim-only.

The on-line refill link is [Wayback/Archive] AH mobiel opwaarderen: https://reload.alphacomm.network/web/ah which raises all kinds of red phishing flags:

A while ago Andy Gocke posted this bit of C# 11 code:
