Funded the Kickstarter, they aren’t asking for much anyhow. But the demo is not quite scratching the same itch as SupCom does. I couldn’t even tell what’s missing right now either, maybe it’s just missing the polish? But it feels somewhat thrown together? But given that FAF is alive and well they are facing somewhat of an uphill battle, against a 20 year old game anyhow. Let’s hope for the best. I do want more RTS options out there.

My mom loves this so I build some additional microphones using https://github.com/Sukecz/ESP32-birdnet-mic and by 3d printing some casing for it to keep bugs out.

If you are not on the warpath with Webauthn I can highly recommend PocketID. It’s just so damn convenient. But note that the arrs don’t come with a good solution for oidc login. But you can use something like tinyauth or an auth forwarder in your reverse proxy. Bitwarden will work fine but of course still require a master key to unlock the vault itself.

All of the MR devices AFAIK. It’s working mostly well so far. But my scope is limited as I have only one thread device so far. The bigger benefit for slzb devices is that they are wholly decoupled from the machine running zha/z2m, plus PoE, wifi and BLE proxies are nice features. The downside is, it’s not open hardware.

While the software itself is FOSS, you actually are required to have a subscription (even though they call it donations), otherwise you essentially can’t use any wall box. Check the list of wall boxes for ones without sponsorship. Otherwise pretty good, usable even. Just remember that you should have more than $2/Month in excess solar and a car home at said time for it to make financial sense.

Pangolin as replacement for cloudflare tunnels and more.

I had a Fold 4 and sold it this year. I likely won’t buy another one until the major flaws a fixed. I don’t want to own a second phone that I can take to the beach or really anywhere that’s not a clean room without the hinges creaking for the following days. Having the extra screen real estate was nice but not worth the money and weight. Also the prices are still going up even though the technology is maturing and Samsung is just selling clones of the Fold 3 for four years now. It just doesn’t add up.

On android, when you click a link that has an association with an app you get the choice to open the app instead of being redirected to the website. Right now every app developer for the fediverse needs to maintain a list of instances for this. If you had a protocol instead you would only need to specify the one.

Apps (at least on android, no idea both iOS) could claim support for the protocol. Removing the need to claim hundreds or thousands of addresses.

I was a bit cautious because of the “source-available” code. But it’s just a standard CC-BY-NC-SA. So no problems there.
