Instead of using a cronjob you can put the device into sleep and use the RTC to schedule the next wakeup (see [1]). This takes only very little power, as the device is only turned on for mere seconds and sleeps the remaining time. [1] http

Some Kindles can easily be jailbroken [1]. I have two jailbroken Kindle 4 devices and they're still great. Both for reading (though you have to sideload books) and as e-ink dashboards [2]. A Kindle 4 can run for ~ 28 days on a single c

Have you considered managing DNS records with Terraform or Pulumi? That way you can easily automate (bulk) changes. Edit: this is possible with Namecheap as well, see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/namecheap&#x

Flutter is no longer the only game in town (using the same approach), new solutions have come that are direct competitors.

I've personally only tested it with a Kindle 4 NT. I haven't had any reports of people using this on other Kindle devices, but in theory it should work as long as the device is jailbroken.

Highscalability.com was great! I still follow their RSS feed but there's not a lot of new content nowadays. If someone knows a similar resource I'd love to hear about it!

Flutter for web is quite rapidly improving in all the areas you mentioned. For right now I think it's already very suitable for highly complex browser applications such as a Figma, Google sheets etc. Load times aren't the best due

Interesting. I've never been able to make Anbox run in a cloud environment though, don't recall the exact details. But indeed I guess it should be able to work as there's also a commercial offering targeted specifically at cl

Came across this very useful project. It provides Docker images with Android running directly in Docker, without qemu or an emulator. I've never seen this before, all other solutions that I'm aware of either run the Android emulat

Very similar. I guess it's really k8s (the control plane) itself that is so resource intensive. Looking with top right now kube-apiserver, kubelet, kube-controller, kine and k0s use 13.5, 12.5, 5.6, and 3.0 % CPU respectively. Obviousl

by PascalW 5y ago
Curious what makes you think k3s is the better choice? The only reason I ended up going with k0s was that I had problems getting k3s working well behind a locked down firewall. With k0s that was pretty easy.

I'm using iptables myself and it works fine, though you have to make sure that traffic on the kube-bridge interface is allowed. With iptables: -A INPUT -i kube-bridge -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o kube-bridge -j ACCEPT Other than tha

I'm doing something similar though I've opted specifically to _do_ use Kubernetes via k0s [0]. It works wonderfully well and allows me to use most things that are available in the k8s ecosystem like cert-manager [1] and external-d

Might be nice to deploy the Flutter app on the web too. Flutter web support is pretty decent now. SQLite on the web is probably going to be tricky though (sqflite doesn't support it).

I'm not familiar with this, sorry.

If your Kindle 4 NT is not broken it's actually pretty easy to root it and use as a dashboard. Shameless plug: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25939042

That's my project :-) Ht was indeed very useful as it was trivial to compile it for armv7, statically linking openssl. Thanks @ducaale!

Thanks I'm an RSS nut too but didn't know about hnrss. Super useful to keep track of replies.

That's a good point. I'm using partial refresh for this reason, which works quite well because the screen is relatively static (I do a full refresh after 4 partial refreshes, to remove the minor ghosting that does occur). But if y

I could replace ht with another HTTP client. I just picked it because it was the easiest way I knew to compile an HTTP client with statically linking openssl. If anyone knows an easy way to compile curl with statically linked openssl, let m

Might be a nice fit indeed. I considered doing this on my Remarkable 2, but it's a bit tricky to combine a dashboard with actually using the product as it's intended (for note-taking, in this case). The advantage of using a Kindle

That's an interesting idea! It depends a bit on the data that is shown on the dashboard, but I guess in many cases the data is quite static. The data on my dashboard can change at any time in theory, but there are many times where the
