I knew that when the build actions started failing en masse and my newly submitted PRs did not trigger the build actions at all (besides the mandatory one in my organization), it seemed logical to me to look at HN first..

Especially troublesome in the middle of trying to fix a high score security vulnerability when the release vehicle is Github.

I've been using OpenBSD on my router/firewall boxes (in various forms, mostly i386/amd64 - Soekris or PC enginers but also mips/octeon - Ubiquiti boxes) for the past 20+ years. Mostly because in that area I do not want any compromises (literally and figuratively) on security. I like the Packet Firewall philosophy and functionality. The fact it is rock solid I take for granted. Another reason is that the system is cleanly designed and simple. Quite easy to reason about with source code in hand.

Makes me wonder if credential harvesting is a thing when all these smart bulbs and other IoT devices get thrown away with the Wi-Fi credentials stored on them.

For the microcontroller use case with Python, the alternative might be to use actual microcontroller that runs CircuitPython/MicroPython. Personally I find it a bit better due to no need to manage/update the Linux distro.

Unrelated question but I see you're probably located in Europe. Are there any places around to get your PCBs treated with conformal paint ? And I mean tiny runs - couple of PCBs.

Cool. I have a modern (not smart) body weight scale and it regularly ruins this way at least one of the 3 GP NiMh rechargable AAA batteries I put in it, so I wanted to hear some ideas what could be done with them given they have been through only bunch of charge cycles.

One of my colleagues (who has no beard) called this sort of job half jokingly retrocomputing. It has definitely its pros and cons.

Naive question maybe: do these AI companies crawl/ingest video/audio yet ? if yes, is that included in the stats ?

This feels familiar. I lug my Lenovo laptop, the Logitech ergonomic mouse, aluminium laptop stand and external Keychron keyboard (thinking about buying the Q10 with Alice layout), mostly to have convenient setup on the go, not primarily for ergonomics. Carrying all this stuff plus the extra other things in the daily backpack is certainly not ergonomic, however I think about it as training for some long hikes.

I also use the LG DualUp display at home, like it very much. Similarly, my home setup has the rain design mStand next to it.

Now, if the espresso machine could be also carried with the computer setup..
