Also check out https://www.tindie.com/ - it's a site for small companies & individuals to sell tech-related stuff. A quick POE search turned up Radiation Dosimeters, Air quality meters, BLE gateways and more.


Might be worth contacting the seller before buying.

The "Color" (ie: type/what's being sold) is "PDF Manual By Email", so it's possible they selling just the PDF assembly manual...


getting the bricks shouldn't be that difficult, should it?

yeah but if all you're getting is the manual that's free https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-215601/NightHawk11991/asml-...

Looks good, but it'll probably take a while until it's anywhere close to the coverage of existing repositories:

https://templates.blakadder.com/ has almost 3,000 devices flashable onto Tasmota firmware.

For older Tuya devices there's https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

OpenBeken https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App covers 800 of the newer generation Tuya devices.

And there's a large community adapting ESP32 devices onto https://esphome.io/


Oh, esphome is more than only esp32 these days. For one it always worked on the pre-esp32 ESPs. But yeah, RPI2040, nrf52 and a couple of other platforms work too.


Yup, it will take a bit of time until we index as many devices as possible. Also, we need to invest a bit more to make the AI search faster and much better. (If anyone has any ideas, we're open to feedback.)

Also, I'm curious — how do you think we can make the device pages even better? My personal problem is that I want to find devices for a specific use case, and the issue is that it's pretty hard to extract real-life use cases for all the scraped devices. We will need a way to extract these insights from the internet.


Great idea.

You could have discussion under each device, or else have a forum where devices can be selected and tagged. Maybe a "builds" page where devices have been implemented in end user setups.

Also, I've seen motherboards/SBCs from China where it is impossible or difficult to find Bios updates, especially in English. This is for the Mini PC market. Have you seen sbcwiki.com - they have a news, software and tutorials section. A lot of HN activity in this space: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...

Another idea is to build up wishlists and ownerlists around devices. Good resource for people looking for ideas/help. Can have photos too.


You've invented a room-temperature superconducting material? No?

Didn't think so.

Currently available superconductors still need liquid nitrogen cooling, meaning they're not feasible for in-orbit installations.


One of the things Sal Mercogliano stressed is that the crew (and possibly other crews of the same line) modified systems in order to save time.

Rather than doing the process of purging high-sulphur fuel that can't be used in USA waters, they had it set so that some of the generators were fed from USA-approved fuel, resulting in redundancy & automatic failover being compromised.

It seems probable that the wire failure would not have caused catastrophic overall loss of power if the generators had been in the normal configuration.

There's also this video from Kyle Hill which is pretty good (I think it's a different incident though, not sure) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap0orGCiou8


My go-tos are usually Fascinating Horror https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5HbUOtyqk and Plainly Difficult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7gVqBY52MY.

I've gone off Kyle Hill after a lot of people pointed out that he was promoting a scam (BetterHelp) on his video about fraud and his response was just to tell people to deal with it


This may be good for the selfhoster who is running more an a couple of sites.

But a GUI to manage enterprise-level SSL fleets? Doubtful.

Not when a change/configuration management system (Puppet, Chef, Ansible etc etc..) driven by git commits enables single-source-of-truth, peer-review, and automatic creation/monitoring/renewal of certificates.


You're absolutely right, at the enterprise level, managing an SSL fleet goes far beyond just issuance, and you can't assume the certificates you're issuing are the only ones that exist.

Shameless plug: if you need to cut through the noise of thousands of certs across thousands of hosts, there's https://sslboard.com


Shame this isn't open source or some open source equivalent


To be honest, it's rather difficult and costly to run, with a 1.5B rows database of indexed unexpired certificates and a scanning job that took weeks from dozens of IPs.


Oh so this is only cloud hosted service, no on-prem option?


The CT Log scanning infrastructure is cloud based (rather bare metal actually), the application db, service, and Host scanning can be on-prem. An exceptional enterprise customer could convince me to offer a 100% on-prem solution


Helo and thank you to point out this tool I ignored before.

There is an opportunity to improve the tool then I added this feature as wanted feature in the plan as certmate dev :)


Most "homelabs", self hosters or small outfits would already use something like Traefik or Cloudflare tunnels with auto cert management.

Their main concerns are getting browser "unsafe" warnings disappear and keep it so. They want nothing to do with cert issuance or renewal.


> In theory, Home Assistant voice hardware could be integrated with local LLMs for private voice control

Lots of people are running local LLMs with their HA Voice Previews, plenty of discussions about it in the forums


Try JPEGView - it is much faster than Irfanview for looking through a folder of images. Either preloads or has a better rendering engine, or both.

Make sure to get the currently supported fork, not the original.


Why does Electro make multiple web requests on startup? Why does it need to make any?

And forcing windows to make your app a default, without asking the user about it at install time - not cool.


Hey! Appreciate the concern w/ web requests. If you look closely at the URL you'll notice that all the requests are to *.localhost addresses. This is just how Tauri's asset handling & IPC systems work - nothing to worry about :)

I've gone ahead and create a GitHub Issue about setting up a checkbox with the installer such that it doesn't force Electro as the default app. It's something I wanted to add pre-announcement but figured it wouldn't be as much of a requested feature as it clearly is, my bad.

Thanks for the feedback!


Nope. Very first request it makes:

From: Microsoft Edge WebView2 To: 13.107.42.16:443 - Redmond, United States of America

(very handy tools, per-application firewalls..)


Oh bloody hell of course Microsoft is pulling off stunts like this. Thanks for raising this, I'll have a look at what my options are to turn this off.

Tauri 2.0 was initially chosen because it would let me get an MVP out quickly to start getting user feedback (like your own). My end goal is to move to a custom renderer so I'm not relying on Chromium / WebView2. This will take many months of work I suspect (balancing with my FYP @ university & other projects).


Here is a whole story: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/discussions/4089

tl;dr - Tauri uses platform's default implementation of a webview. On Windows it's WebView2 which reports back to MS.


Can you show others how you did this in a post? Truly neat


This? Finding outbound/inbound requests to an app?

Not sure it's worth an entire post. But:

The application in question is NetLimiter for Windows https://www.netlimiter.com/ (I'm sure there are others, btw)

It acts as a per-application firewall. It also has the ability to block internet access completely, as well as Priorities (bandwith allocation) per application.

By default it will pop up a window every time an application makes web requests, either inbound or outbound.

You have the option to Deny or Allow the operation. And options to have that be temporary (next x minutes) or permanent.

After being set up an alarming number of applications will cause NetLimiter popups, but very soon everything will either be allowed or blocked.


So I spoke to one of the contributors of Tauri who got back to me with the following response: " It's not a thing tauri controls and the telemetry settings are an operating system setting since you are running windows this kind of telemetry is not completely avoidable."

He also kindly pointed to this GH Issue which discusses your privacy concern: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/105...

This quote from the issue stood out in particular: " WebView2 is considered a Windows component, and the data collection consent is governed by Windows Diagnostic setting on Windows 10 as a centralized switch.

End users are empowered to control the data collection of WebView2 and can do so via toggling the Windows Diagnostic setting on Windows 10. This is also what the Edge browser does. On Windows 7/8.1, because there is no Windows Diagnostic setting, we treat this as no consent for optional data. There is very limited required data that the OS always collects, unless you're on some specific SKUs. Developers are definitely welcomed to convey that to their end users and ask them to use the OS toggle. "

I've been meaning to move away from Tauri + WebView2, this might be the best call to make (not only for this reason of course)
