I’m sure it’s been mentioned a few times in the older thread that came up the other day but I can only recommend the book by Ben Rich, Skunk Works, if you want learn more about how this plane came to be.

Loved the first part. Can't wait to play it. Didn't know there was an iOS Version for the first one, time to replay that on my phone on a plane :D

It absolutely is working on a ship. At least for me it helps e.g. when traveling on a big ferry etc. but I guess everybody has a different level of tolerance.

Mark Russinovich shares some of it in this recent Ignite session: https://ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/49347847-9ae4-43... *I work at Microsoft but have nothing to do with the datacenter engineering or other insights into the details behind it.

My Steam account is turning 20 today at 4:58pm (CET) and I cannot help but feel a bit old for the very first time. I still remember all my friends hating it so much in the beginning because it would slow our PCs down and cost us valuable FPS in Counter-Strike. It's amazing what Valve has achieved with Steam since then. Happy Birthday Steam!

Thank you for creating this. I was just looking for something like that to send notifications to my mobile without setting this all up and deploying my own app to the store. Using ntfy now :)

Cool project. Looks a little bit like the one i've been using as a basis: https://github.com/brennentsmith/internet-speed-logger I just combined it with a CosmosDB and put the dashboard online with the actual tester running locally of course.

Can you recommend a good way to make sure the Pi and Pi-hole are always up to date? I imagine a simple cron with pihole -up is not sufficient?

I tried that once but ran into so many errors for passwords that contained characters like ", or ;" that I gave up. Is there a way around this other then copying every entry manually?

Awesome! I wanted to have something like this for ever and planned to build it myself using a combination of gmail and Flow or something. Now LastPass , 1Password etc. need to integrate it so every time you generate a new password you can add a random email to the mix.
