Tried searching for "red high top sneakers under $40", and the first result was a shaft seal? The next result was a red high top sneaker so good, but it had a price of '0', bad. Then it started showing basically random i

I used to monitor CO2 in the house with Awair units, specifically those because it allegedly interacted with my Ecobee AC control. So I could say if the levels were rising, force the fan on to push fresh air around, although I'm not su

I went with Ecobees mainly because they offer the easy export of your data and have an open API to interop with. I originally planned to use my HomeAssistant install to orchestrate it a little with the Awair products I have, for example, tu

For the ASD-B traffic I use the FlightAware USB dongles - https://flightaware.com/adsb/prostick/ And for the general radio, I use the RTL-SDR Blog USB dongle - https://www.amazon.com/RTL-SDR-Blog-R

For the airplane data, I always liked browsing sites like flightradar24, planefinder etc, and wondered how they aggregated the data, and it sort of just went from there. I also now send the ADS-B data to open projects rather than commercial

Disney now have exactly what you described in your first project as a photo opportunity at the Magic Kingdom. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/05/enjoy-new-dis...

2 Pis for dealing with ADS-B (airplane data), one for 1090Mhz, the other for 978Mhz. I could run that on the same one, but seemed easier to just split them up given some of the software is a bit picky with device IDs. The 978Mhz is much qui

You don't have to run the tests if you don't want, the tool has a different state for when you don't have them "ok_no_test". For some backups we run through Uphold we have written some very basic ones, like looking

Sure, if you PR some example tests in I can make that happen.

It supports MongoDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL at the moment. It's really easy to add extra engines, you can even write your own custom ones and include them. But it's mainly dealing with full dumps, rather than volume snapshots or inc

We transfer our backups to S3, so there's always a chance that it could be corrupted during transfer, or that the compression could have failed before transfer. It can also help catch operational changes, eg. someone changed the root p

I created this tool a while ago, but since it's apparently world backup day I thought it a good time to submit it here. It was created out of the fact that we run automated backups of our various databases, yet we very rarely attempted

I think this is happening because of the.. haphazard way we're showing the file list inside the deb. In future this will be cached. If you refresh again it usually works fine. Cheers for the report.

If you are logged in and view a package (eg. https://pkghub.io/users/limi/projects/snzip/packages/f3d-snz... ), there's a download link on the right under 'Meta'. It's just hidden

Still trying to figure that bit out at the moment, I suspect we'll go down the Github model, public projects are free, private projects you pay for. Quite open to recommendations/opinions on what people would be willing to pay and
