I use an esp8266 to control a relay attached to a lava lamp. Every 5 minutes it pings an NTP server and closes the relay if it's the evening.

Do people not like juice? How do you get scurvy in 2026?

The article is talking about "social scurvy", which they use as a metaphor for people not realising they need to get out of the house and meet up with other people every now and then.

Not the point of the post. Just a clickbaity-ish comparison to reel you in.

In the world of protein low carb pop tarts juice is poison.

How hard is it to find some high-protein fruit juice these days?

Given that there's no strong regulation that forces fruit juice to be made from fruit, I'd wager that this is already a product line.

"Contains 0% Juice"

you can't call it juice if there's no juice

At my old job, there was one black guy in the entire department. Every promotional photo, external or internal, had the same 10 year old photo of him posing for the camera.

That's why I've always described myself as an engineering graduate

I memorized up to like 30 by singing the pi song over and over

Yeah, but then you are always exposing your public IP.

Exposing it to what exactly? The internet? Yes that's how it works

If somebody learns that such-and-such DynDNS URL is mine, they can always do a DNS lookup to find my current IP address. They can:

- find my approximate physical location

- regularly scan ports on my IP and wait for me to accidentally expose a service I didn't mean to

- track me in any access logs they have access to

They can, and do, do this with or without DynDNS.

Do you mean by getting the information from Cloudflare, or some other way? With DynDNS though, finding out my IP is trivial and does not require any special powers or skills, it is just a DNS lookup.

PS. Just re-watched your matrix LED pendant video. It is so well done, both the project, and the accompanying video!

They're scanning all IPs all the time. If your home router has a public IP and a firewall log, check it

But with Cloudflare tunnel (and similar tools), there are no open ports on the origin server.

This requires no port forwarding, so someone brute force scanning your IP won't find this and your open port. they also might have a harder time figuring out what service has been exposed since the port number itself will be unknown.
