I have a tunnel that’s been running for over a month now with no issues. Basic free tunnels do have an expiration (24 hours IIRC) but the paid accounts will let you keep a tunnel open as long as you want.

Expose your server endpoint to the public web however you like. There are lots of options and many have been discussed here recently. I just happen to be a fan of ngrok and use it daily for all sorts of cases, including on some of my Pi’s.

There’s only one camera ribbon connector on a Pi board, not sure if you could also plug in a USB cam or not.

Outside of off the cuff experiments, most of my Pis are provisioned as MotionEyeOS[0] security cams. Each client can be linked into a central "server" so you can view them all at once, and lots of nice config options for storing o

You could automate this even more with a Twilio number, ngrok running on the Pi and a small webserver to trigger the audio playback. Then instead of having to ssh in you can just send a text.

Seriously. ngrok is underpriced - I would pay double the ask without even flinching. I can't even count how many times it has actively aided in me getting paid.

Yup, she brute-forced it. This was back before touchID and faceID and IIRC GA pins were only four digits. The game quickly changed from let’s watch cartoons to let’s figure out how to change apps.

It took my 3yo niece about a week to learn how to escape guided access. At that point it became more of a hassle then a help. It might be fine for toddlers but for any kids over 2 you need a fully sandboxed profile if you’re not handing the

The motivation is largely irrelevant - if someone wants it, they'll get it. Not to mention the survey drone itself got a closeup, so equipment isn't an issue. It took me about 5 minutes to ballpark the location [0] from this

You're assuming a human would try and physically approach and remove it. It was discovered by a drone, why wouldn't a poacher use a drone to retrieve it?

Those "rewards" aren't savings on fees, passed on to the customer, they are increased fees that are absorbed by merchants. Rewards cards carry higher fees the same way corporate cards have higher fees and the same way Amex in

Just prior to your mentioned timeline Hotmail was vulnerable via query string params. A rather non-technical friend of mine brought this up in conversation and I didn't believe him, so he told me to log in to my account. He took a quic

That defeats the entire purpose of using the Billing product. Best I could come up with is to auth the source for the amount and see if it is accepted, then let it die by not capturing. But then you have customers who complain about being d

I misspoke, it's 1 hour, not 24. Can be found here [0]. Regardless, the upgrade happens _before_ the customer is charged, so unless you put a hold on your system and wait for that invoice to close, you're still giving them acc

You're right, their documentation is great and the API is nice to work with, but you are forced to do things their way. I was recently working with Billing and ran into a pretty big issue: A customer on a recurring plan upgrades to a m

If you are exposing an API that is going to "double your revenue" as the article says, why wouldn't you use something like the AWS API Gateway [0] or Google Cloud Endpoints [1]? What were they doing here, running a paid servi

FWIW, you used to be able to activate Stripe by setting the address of your store outside the US, turn Stripe on, then set your address back. Not sure if that still works though. Just pick a country where Shopify Payments isn’t offered.

Outside of the (valid) privacy concerns, I use this and considered it an awesome tool. Then I ran into the good old efficiency and effort of the USPS we all know and love... I was expecting a rather important document from the government, s

I'm certainly not hiding my identity behind layers of personas because my life is at stake. I do believe my data has value and that I shouldn't be giving it away to a consumer service for them to monetize at will. Have I taken eve

The $64,000 question is if they eventually are able to connect a ghost profile to a real profile, then shouldn't that data be available in the data export of the real profile? I've downloaded all my data before but just kicked off

I always use Facebook in a sterile browser that doesn't get used for anything else. Once Firefox released the container feature I've only ever used Facebook inside the Facebook container.

That's not always true. It might seem like it is easier to be careless, but if we're talking about any item over just a couple pounds in weight, you're going to hurt yourself being careless as opposed to being cautious. There
