kalev··on Show HN: I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s
Honestly this sounds amazing for a vlog on YouTube
kalev··on Ten Basic Clouds
Lol, i expected a comparison between the major cloud providers but had a hard time believing there would be ten of them.. Anyway, I should take a day of to look at some real clouds.
kalev··on Unified Line and Paragraph Detection by Graph Convolutional Networks (2022)
Would this be of help with YouTubes auto-generated subtitles? I hate the fact the words appear just in time one by one, unlike traditional complete sentences that appear fully one at a time.
kalev··on Zenobia Pay – A mission to build an alternative to high-fee card networks
Are these live private keys?

kalev··on Gridfinity: The modular, open-source grid storage system
Took me a while before i understood it was to store physical items. For a second I was thinking some battery solution-like grid storage system. A few photos on the homepage would help a lot and make it much more clear for noobs like me.
kalev··on Generate autounattend.xml files for Windows 10/11
Does anyone know if it’s possible to disable autopilot/mdm with this?
kalev··on CSS-only infinite scrolling carousel animation
It’s <marquee> with extra steps, except for the pause which i’m not sure is possible
kalev··on Filament: Full-Stack Laravel Components with Livewire and Tailwind
Filament is incredible, a bit of a learning curve but once you get used to it the possibilities are endless. Saves so much time.
kalev··on Hacking the largest airline and hotel rewards platform (2023)
password????
kalev··on Lnav Logfile Navigator
LNAV is great, i’m so happy to have found it recently.

I’ve made a Caddy server lnav configuration file a while a go, for who’s struggling to parse the default JSON logs produced by Caddy.

kalev··on PHP in 2024
PHP is slowly gaining ground on strict typings and every update brings new features. It’s really fun to see losely typed methods over time being refactored to typed methods, giving you that slight peace of mind in every step. Big kudos to the PHP and Laravel community.
kalev··on Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide
+1 on the question about scraping behind authentication. One huge use case we have as an ecommerce store is to crawl data from our vendors, which do not have (or incomplete) export files
kalev··on Security flaws in an SSO plugin for Caddy (2023)
Huge credits to the Caddy team, I’ve been using Caddy for all of my production projects over 4+ years and it’s absolutely rock solid. Never had an issue with it. Unfortunate a 3rd party plugin here is causing fallout by other HNers dumping their negative remarks here. Still, a security plugin which seems to have holes in it is a bit awkward. I’m sure someone will pick up what’s needed to be done.
kalev··on Hoppscotch desktop application
Although sometimes too much, I think the way fly.io starts their blog posts with a description of what they do is brilliant. I have no idea what Hoppscotch is and reading the first paragraphs I still don’t.
kalev··on Show HN: I made a all-in-one web app to help me with my freelance admin tasks
Not OP, but probably https://www.screen.studio/
kalev··on Discord.io breached, 760k user accounts for sale on darknet
That should be clarified in the HN title, imo
kalev··on Launch HN: GitStart (YC S19) – Remote junior devs working on production PRs
I’d be interested in this as well! To answer your question, I imagine a list of tasks available to work on which I can pick up tasks from whenever I have time.
kalev··on Ask HN: Ive broken my wrist. What tools can be explored to continue programming?
I can’t use my left arm and programming with one hand is very draining. What would you suggest I’d take a look at? Is programming by voice a thing already?
kalev··on Tips for Building Resilient Payment Systems (2022)
For payment processing? Mollie has been good so far, however because it's an external payment processor we pay additional fee to Shopify.
kalev··on Tips for Building Resilient Payment Systems (2022)
I wholeheartedly recommend against using Shopify Payments, as they simply cut you off on a moments notice and they can’t explain why. This is the exact response we got from support:

> Regrettably we cannot share the specific reason or share further details about the rejection.

Like what? We applied, you approved, a lot of legitimate transactions happened and now you cut me off but can’t explain why? You really can’t trust them.

kalev··on Awesome Docker Compose Examples
I agree fly.io comes close, but you’d still need to transition to ‘something else’ for deploying your compose project.
kalev··on Awesome Docker Compose Examples
I think I’ve asked this question before but I really don’t understand why there is no managed docker compose hosting solution. I think Swarm did that, but I believe they stopped? Every project I worked on used compose locally, but had to transpose to some k8s/nomad setup in production. I’d love to just run ‘docker compose deploy’ or publish or whatever and it just gets deployed to the cloud + load balancing and autoscaling. What am I missing?
kalev··on Carving the scheduler out of our orchestrator
I’m annoyed by the way this is written. The topic is super interesting but the author tried to hard to be funny and being a non-native reader it’s difficult to determine if certain words are technical jargon or trying to be funny.
kalev··on Ask HN: Where can I go to become a VPN configuration ninja?
Create two droplets on for example DigitalOcean and try to create a VPN between them. You’ll learn most by just doing.
kalev··on Docker Compose best practices for dev and prod
This is something i’ve been thinking about for a long time and your comment made me think about it again. I’ve seen many companies developing using docker-compose but deploying their software in a different way (on bare metal, kubernetes or nomad). Why hasn’t anyone build this yet? I’m afraid I’m missing something so starting on this my own is risky.
kalev··on SSH tips and tricks
It’s been a while, but i’ve created a tool that makes it easier to save an alias to your “.ssh/config” file called ssh-save-id.

kalev··on Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs?
Agree to this. I recently wanted to see a list of songs of one artist. I could not find it..
kalev··on Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
It’s like you just described my exact situation ~14 months ago. Such a though situation to be in but I can tell you things will get better. Spoke to my GP and have been in therapy for ~10 months, no work at all. Had to find my love back for the things I really enjoyed. Was able to find a job at a new place at the beginning of this year and I’m finally feeling I’m getting my life back again. I’ll have to be very careful not end up in the same situation again, but this experience helped me grow (although i’m only slowly starting to realize this).

The most important thing I’m saying to myself? I am the captain of my own ship. Get back on the wheel and point it in the direction I want to go in, what makes me happy.

kalev··on Zq: An easier and faster alternative to jq
Please check FZF [1] and it’s integration with ctrl-r. It’s a huge productivity boost and I cannot live without it.

kalev··on Whats New in PHP 8.2
Funny thing is this reputation is imo being upheld by PHP users themselves, for example in PHP tutorials comparing to different languages.
