On: Creating a Garmin "MCP"

[lormayna]

If you are using Intervals.icu (and you really should, it's an amazing project), you can connect it to Garmin and then use their own MCP server https://forum.intervals.icu/t/mcp-server-for-connecting-clau...

On: Ask HN: Who's still keeping a DOS machine up because the business depends on it?

[lormayna]

Few years ago I was working for a F500 company and during an assessment we discovered couple of OS/2 Warp machines that were controlling CNC equipment

Original title is too long, I had to shorten it

On: Logo Programming

[lormayna]

I remember one of my professor that created a map of all Italian regions in logo. It was probably 1992.

On: Ask HN: Would you read a statistics textbook?

[lormayna]

Yes! I have a degree in telecommunication engineering,but statistics is one of my favourite topics to study. I found things like bayesian inference or MCMC not really easy to master properly

/r/Italy is the perfect example for this study

On: I close SSH port 22 (and what I use instead)

[lormayna]

My checklist to secure a VPS, enforced by an Ansible playbook.

* Disable SSH root login

* Disable password login and use only certificates

* Enable fail2ban

This have been worked for more than ten years and never been hacked.

I never understand the need for port knocking.

On: Bending Spoons makes first post-IPO acquisition with $1.3B Airtable deal

[lormayna]

Any suggestion to migrate away from Airtable?

[jamessb → lormayna]

Possibly grist https://www.getgrist.com/blog/grist-v-airtable/ ?

[anaisconce → jamessb]

FYI, Grist has a very good Airtable migration tool. Brings over column types, references, simple formulas, attachments etc: https://www.getgrist.com/airtable-alternative-self-hosted/

Check out Bluetivity. Tons of functionality and easy to use.

It depends what you need, there are many options these days. https://chatgpt.com/?hints=search&q=Any%20suggestion%20to%20...?

On: Show HN: CheapSecurity – Lightweight, Self-Hosted CCTV for Linux SBCs

[lormayna]

What are the difference with systems like Motion (https://motion-project.github.io/4.0/motion_guide.html) ?

[zeldone → lormayna]

Motion is a great software and it overlaps with CheapSecurity. However this software pretend to be: 1. a single-camera-per-instance CCTV with a web dashboard and Telegram bot (motion is a full-featured NVR/motion daemon: multi-camera, masks, timelapse, SQL logging, external triggers, etc...) 2. One independent process per camera; multi-camera is done by running multiple instances. (motion is multi-camera support in one process) 3. Small Flask dashboard with live stream, settings toggles, and bulk actions on recordings. (motion is functional stream/status pages) 4. Specifically optimized for low-power ARM boards like the Odroid XU4 5. Last but not least small Python/Flask/OpenCV codebase, easy to hack on...

That's it

On: Medici family mystery may be solved after more than 400 years

[lormayna]

I am living in Poggio a Caiano and I never expect it will be mentioned on HN. I know very well the history of Bianca Cappello and I am not surprised about the malaria. The area around Poggio a Caiano (Poggio means exactly "small hills") was a swamp and malaria was very common.

[m00dy → lormayna]

Then Mussolini came to power and drained all those swamps.

[lormayna → m00dy]

The area around Poggio a Caiano (west of Florence, between Campi Bisenzio and Signa, just for whom that know the area) was drained by the late Medici's and their successor, the Lorena's family.

After the first world war, they built a big area for blimps, with also a big hangar, but I am not sure if it happens during the Fascism or earlier.
