I'm running some instances on Hetzner Cloud, the oldest is ~5 years old, only recently had 2hr or so downtime, other than that - without any problems. And we are talking the cheap ones. I did have a problem with their dedicated server

one of my points is, that I do not trust that pricing. In my experience the pricing ranges on Alibaba were very wild and often used as an incentive for you to contact them. And after some back and forth you got a 'real' offer. Tao

I mean, he is either trolling a bit or has a very simplistic view of buying niche equipment from Alibaba. It's far from click and collect (eg. pricing, export/import/transport) and that's even before you get up and runni

This is offtopic (as it has nothing to do with the linked blogpost) but it's even worse. At the tail end of 2019 I went to China for a few weeks, I created a WeChat account at home without any problems. As soon as I stepped into China

This is 'just' aggregating the APIs the car manufacturers already expose (for their own apps or 3rd party) - without any additional hardware/direct car integration. So I don't think it's directly comparable. I teste

They invested US$100 million (and currently that's around US$50 million). The next bond payment (2023 note that they are trying to buy back now) is due in January and that alone is US$800 million. So, their investment should yield real

Yeah, a (relatively) weird mesh of train and trucking technology - for sure will have it's uses, but I would guess for most of the long freight trains are then a better option?

Yes, on average every 8 hours, so battery capacity needs to be at least that (probably by a bit of a good margin). And then just the rest stops need to be retrofitted with 100s of charging points that charge this capacity in time (and all a

I used Kaitai for parsing and reverse engineering a binary format that does have some documentation but it's mostly wrapped in a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. Total novice to parsing binary files, looked very intimidating, but with Kaitai

I have a somewhat related experience with DCB/premium SMS-es. I run a relatively small-but-not-trivial amount of IoT devices that communicate over GSM/2G. For that end I'm using a local GSM carriers "IoT SIM" cards&

I checked the Hiber [1] IoT Solutions (mentioned in the article) that are mostly focused on Asset/Vehicle/Machinery tracking. Even tho their message focuses (among other things) on how cheap they are - I have to disagree. Maybe if

Cellebrite made a splash some time ago that their tools can extract Signal messages from the (unlocked?) devices. The claim was " Cellebrite can now break into Signal, an encrypted app considered safe from external snooping, it claimed

Yeah, something similar happened to me @ Scaleway (so, the part before the rebrand/merger/whatever they did). Incredible price increase for my usecase. Even with the limited 25% discount, it grew out of hand. I'm in the proce

I know this will probably get buried, but from what I read and understand you still need to notify your users that you are using essential cookies and provide a list of what cookies are essential, why they are essential and what's the

From what I understand, the photos uploaded up to that time will not count toward the used space even after that. So only newly uploaded photos will start counting toward the usage.

Oh as I just remembered one thing that I forgot to add in the other reply - ofc I agree with most of your reasoning here. But I think that (regarding emissions) we need to find a better way to test/confirm this. As I believe you should

I can guarantee you that there are some notable counter examples to your theory. I can tell you that manufacturers (BMW, VW,...) found out that it's a lot cheaper to manufacture the same physical engine and just limit it in software fo

I really wish to know where you live that the quality of chip-tunin is so bad. In developed world (EU), the owners are accountable for their vehicles. Including emission controls. But the problem is on the enforcing side, from the people ac

But it is firewalled (between OBD port and the car, between internal buses,...). I won't say it's sufficiently locked down, but as we recently saw - not even Apple got that completely right - but there are several layers of protec

It's not that easy and it's getting harder with each new car platform. But on the other end, some of the sensors are basic and will always be suspectable to false inputs. But don't worry, maybe it looks easy -> but it&#x27

Only the really basic data (mostly related to emissions) and connector is standarised. Even the pinout of the connector (apart from the power supply and ground) differs quite a bit between manufacturers. The level of integration needed for

Yeah ofcourse I did - the only thing that makes the whole experiance bearable. Without it, I don't know how anyone would do dev stuff on a Mac. It has pleanty of good software, but not including FileZilla (because of bundled crapware).

Have you tried using cyberduck? The Official download (and I just did a quick search and did not find a fork) prevents shutdown with a donation nag. I also threw a quick look at the list, no FTP clients there.

Almost exactly a year ago I got a brand new Mac Book Pro 13" from my company (everyone else has it, so why not). It's unix, so better to use that than Windows (Linux was not really an option). For the price, performance and reliab

I got back into web development in the last year or so. Previously I did mostly Python/Django and then 5 years of something unrelated to dev. Now I'm working in a fairly typical PHP/Wordpress mixed joint, and now I understand

No, not programming keys per se. But re-sync RF part of the already coded key, so you can unlock it with a push of a button. Also, I have quite a problem with dumping entire storage (EEPROM parts for example, that contain SKC/PIN). Als

But on the other hand, on modern cars that is not nearly enough to get the car started. As OP pointed out, Simos18 was quite conveniently hacked, but that's far from the only ecu family. And usually they aren't hacked as easly&#x2
