My .space domains seem to work again


It seems to ping-pong back and forth. Our monitoring is basically spamming us with DNS down, DNS up every 5 minutes or so.


Is the DNS maybe hosted at Gandi? I have a .space domain that also stopped resolving 25 minutes ago


I've done a similar thing with a "dumb" washing machine using a Arduino with an attached LDR (light-dependent resistor) taped to the "door open" LED.

The Arduino sends the value of the LDR over serial port to a laptop which sends changes to the "door open" over Signal to my phone


Side question: you can use Signal programmatically?


I’m using https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api which exposes a REST Api


This can be achieved with the original ESP 8266


Bad thing is that with a sufficiently large battery, he can probably skip a lot of days. They don't take much power.

Its the right choice, though.


Cool project! I would be cautious with the sentence „See what’s inside your Docker“. Aside from the broader term „container image“, I would think you could get mail from Docker (as I’m the company) for using their name while you’re not Docker.


Very nice! Thank you for posting this.

I run a cronjob which sends me the forecast for the next day based on german weather service MOSMIX forecasts. I am using https://brightsky.dev for this, which makes the clunky xml files of MOSMIX available as a http api.

I’ll definitely check out open-meteo


I also tried brightsky.dev, but it is limited to weather stations in the MOSMIX system. IRRC only Germany. In terms of forecast quality, MOSMIX should be great!

One goal of mine, would be to provide historical data of the past months to enable users to run their own statistical forecasts combined with weather models. It is actually quite easy to use measurement data and correct forecasts using simple machine learning models like random forrest. If you compare wind speed measures and forecasts, there usually is a simple statistical error that can be reduced easily. Maybe in the next month I will to some tests and example code


There is openSenseMap [1] for example which collects data from many of these Arduino/ESP based devices.

Combine this with some automatism which changes the password of your guest WiFi and putting it on a cheap e-ink display.


> CPU: 1.5-GHz vs 1.4-GHz (same cores)

Isn't it Cortex-A72 vs Cortex-A53 ?


It is, and the A72 has ~2-3x the IPC of the A53 depending on workload.


Realize I should have added that... but no way to edit original post... is there an easy way to do so?


You can edit posts but only within a limited time window, I think it's something like an hour. If you don't see an edit button you can't do anything about it.


Looks great, is fast and feels good so far.

There is one nitpick I have: The usual iOS swipe from left to go back is not working on iPhone SE (iOS 11.2)


Thanks! I wasn't aware of that bug. Surprising because it works on iPhone 6/7/X!
