You can use capacitive water sensors taped to the outside of non-capacitive containers (aluminum foil, a resistor, an arduino, and a plastic 5 gallon container), but honestly all you need are DNI timers to "automate" any grow operation. Put your lights and pumps on a schedule and there is absolutely no reason to get more creative. If you do anything besides low-level timers you're making it complicated and brittle with no added benefit.
Do you know that Microsoft Bing maps also "steals" the OSM data? They did some very clever "reverse stealing" as well when they contributed back to the project by providing millions of accurate building footprints.
Yes, I'm being sarcastic. It's a win-win situation when ANY large mapping group joins OSM. At the very least; they will accidentally contribute road-level improvements when they work with the data. I rely upon OSM data and need these large players throwing their weight behind this mapping system.
I think you're missing the forrest for the trees here - they put "steal" in ""s because they know it's not stealing.
The point of their comment was to criticise TomTom for not doing much interesting themselves, not to discuss the nuances of OSM. In this context, "steal" makes sense because it's something that TomTom can claim to be innovative with while actually the innovation credit belongs to OSM.
License aside Microsoft at least provided Bing satellite imagery source for OSM mappers before there was Maxar and others. Actually there were others before (was it Yahoo?) but that is not the point.
in practice you can't trust a bounty system like this, so the next best might be to sell your company products in such a way as to minimize the system friction between new sales, new data coming in from those new sales, and feeding back to the open ecosystem. In that latter case, you can't trust the company management, but to my mind .. that's the breaks
This! All of the companies kept shortening their dopamine cycle to compete with each other and now people can’t focus in real life for more than 5-10 seconds before they are mentally searching for the scroll button to find a new interaction.
You should drop down a few layers on the OSI model and catch this at your reverse proxy instead of publishing login pages to catch every permutation of 'wp' in urls.
All soil moisture sensors will eventually become uncalibrated, wear out, or fail.
The only automation you need to keep a plant alive is a timer attached to a water source. Also, don't forget to feed it with nutrients every month or so... they don't eat soil and letting a plant starve isn't proof you needed a moisture sensor.
I refused to reward Google with traffic on their newly forced ads for every youtube video. You should boycott them too until they U-turn on this bad decision.
Totally agree. I’m thinking in terms and concepts like “iptables”, “ipset”, “fail2ban”, “cidr”, “asn”… while everyone else is thinking about how to change their cloudflare settings.
OP even said they gave up on cloudflare but people are trying to upsell him on the higher tiers through this hn post!
"Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) on Thursday reported its first profitable quarter on an adjusted basis since it launched more than a decade ago - November 4, 2021"
To find the LUA scripts that do not depend on a centralized catcha service, search for "nginx lua ddos". [1][2] I do not have a live example at the moment as I took my hobby sites offline while the dust settles around the new California AB 2273 law.
Most of these give site-wide examples but one can run the LUA by locations or other ACL's to protect specific resources or exclude specific resources from protection. e.g. RSS feeds.
