Re:Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi? on Tuesday June 25, 2019 @10:11PM (#20281281)
It's an addiction, I have 17 and a Pi4 on order

1 - (pi) pi - temperature sensor

2 - (pi) woody - garage door opener - custom web interface

3 - (pi2) white - Unicorn hat blinking lights

4 - (pi2) pi2b - OpenVPN server, pihole DNS

5 - RetroPi - Games (Pi 3)

6 - bigwood - Freeswitch phone system, Nagios4 (Pi 2 Model B v1.1)

7 - (pi) unicorn #2 - unicorn hat blinking lights

8 - pi2 motion - motion sensor, camera, blink(1) light- blink shows red or orange when motion is sensed and takes photos

9 - Slack Bot - (at work)

10 - zero (on desk at home)

11 - green3 - camera - garage wide angle (old cam)

12 - infra - camera front door

13 - infra2 - camera garage wide angle

14 - infra3 - camera front door far view

15 - zerow-cam with infrared usb adapter displaying cameras on tv - change cameras with remote control

16 - zerow-cam1 - camera back yard

17 - zerow-cam2 - camera back yard

18 - Pi4 4GB is backordered but I found a Pi4 2GB which I hope will serve well as a file/backup server. Hoping to utilize the USB3 to get better I/O to a couple external disks.

Running Bitwarden on a VM right now but will probably move this to a Pi4 in the near future

I have all of these connected to a custom command-and-control web interface (socket.io) where I can send commands, perform updates, monitor load average, version, uptime - and can reboot if needed

I ran the October update and lost my Desktop folder.

After install, a dialog box appears:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable ..."

On the flip side Netflix only hires "fully formed adults". No interns and no fresh college grads.

Very impressive. Work such as this show a mastery of CSS that few possess.
It's an EmberJS app :)
Love it
Re:Elasticsearch 1.0.0 released on Wednesday February 12, 2014 @05:31PM (#7227829)
I haven't had a split brain on my 15 node cluster in over 6 months even though the cluster is split among multiple data centers which do drop connectivity from time to time. When the setting was wrong, it happened constantly. Tune it properly and it won't happen. n/2+1
Ive been having those bad URLs for a couple weeks now and thought Google was really off their game since many times the pages came up dead. Wow.

It always bugged me that load external images is enabled by default on many Apple products still. I was not aware of just how bad it really was. Great post, thanks
Re:VPN Encryption on Monday September 23, 2013 @12:53PM (#6432251)
To my knowledge, there are 7 companies including OpenVPN who have been granted access to private VPN APIs. I personally use the OpenVPN iOS client for "always-on" phone VPN.
Cool. So it's like http://mosh.mit.edu/ mosh for TCP
Congrats SendHub!
