Awesome work. Here is hope this will also help improve local access to Tapo devices in Home Assistant.

What an amazing guy. Very refreshing concepts. I would love to see them materialize some day.

And then there’s Banksy’s “in the future, everyone will be anonymous for 15 minutes“. For pretty much the same reasons you stated above, I assume.

ESPHome is awesome. Any chance you can get MQTT running on RP2040W?

1992 A.D. even.

I was surprised there was no mention of him in the text. There's more of him on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=walter+lewin+do...

A lot of E-commerce software have data feeds that are ingested by parties like pricespy. These feeds are typically either public or made available after mutual agreements. Scraping a large amount of sites for data is just too much labor in the long run.

Kudos to Spotify for supporting libspotify and its use-cases for so many years. I'm sure it hasn't been easy and that copyright owners haven't been very fond of it.

Anecdata: I’ve found USB powered external drives to be unreliable on the Pi, even when powering the Pi with an official power adapter. I’d recommend using an external drive that comes with its own power adapter.

IIRC, the uTorrent guy (Ludde Strigeus) was employeed by Spotify and worked on, among other things, the P2P feature in Spotify.

Reasons for self-hosting: GitLab.com's not-so-great availability [1], slow code searches (compared to self-hosted with GitLab Advanced Search) and the fact that you can keep your code and resources off the public Internet.
The fact that you do need to upgrade it yourself regularly is indeed a drawback. On the other hand, an Omnibus upgrade has only failed me twice in the last five years or so, so there's little reason to not do automatic upgrades at night and fire off an alert in case something doesn't work as expected afterwards. Their releases are typically solid, so kudos to the team.

I think GOBBLES pioneered this technique in like 1992 A.D. with their “Hydra”. Iirc it was claimed to exploit (jinglebellz.c) .mp3 players on behalf of the RIAA and to spread through file sharing networks. https://www.theregister.com/2003/01/14/is_the_riaa_hacking_y...
