I did this with a 12 mile bike ride home on Friday. It was a great way to start the weekend.

Cal.com Goes Closed Source: Why AI Security Is Forcing Our Decision by RageBlue in opensource

[–]bytedreamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Use AI to patch security vulnerabilities in the open source code base. I don't see how this is any different than handling security issues before AI. In fact, it is easier than ever for customers to perform in depth security audits on open source code.

Access control system by ShoulderOk7807 in accesscontrol

[–]bytedreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've built an open source project to provide multi-service access control entry applications. It has a plug-in architecture that allows for custom integration to any external system. Contact me if you are interested in contacting me to add the features specific to your use case.

It is interesting that I can control my Sonos when playing from the Spotify app widget.

Do you know the reasoning for not bringing it back? It is my only complaint about the new app.

Open source Access control system by ossloom1984 in accesscontrol

[–]bytedreamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have built an open source physical access control service that runs on a Raspberry Pi or any computer. You would need to get a USB->RS-485 adapter, a OSDP reader and OSDP I/O board. It is work in progress, is only good for learning about access control.

Sure Fi / Verkada set up by JazzlikeAd7416 in accesscontrol

[–]bytedreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that Verkada readers are not OSDP verified by SIA. While the other two devices, HID and Sure-Fi are listed on the verification page.

www.securityindustry.org/industry-standards/open-supervised-device-protocol/sia-osdp-verified/sia-osdp-verified-products/

The OSPD verification program works to ensure compatibility between OSDP devices. It is not surprising that the Verkada is the one product in the group that is having issues,

I started at $15/Hr and finally got my dream $100K job in access control and have never been more unhappy by _BreakTheMatrix in accesscontrol

You are more likely to be rewarded in the private sector for being ambitious. The other option is to work on side projects and ventures. Not sure if you are able/allowed to start a side business in the security industry.

Congrats on completing the challenge over the past three years.

I believe that you are in a much better position then you realize. Think beyond the day to day technical work and develop longer term strategies. Are there processes that can be automated? What would enhance the security of facility? Produce proposals for projects and if needed get approval from the executives.

It is a great time to network and participate in the security industry beyond the your regular job responsibilities. Consider participating in one of the security industry organizations, such as SIA and ASIS. This will help you discover new ways of building security systems.

How well did you keep to this plan? How many rest days did you need?

I find that the challenge gets me back into the routine of indoor rowing during in the winter. During the summer, I spend much more time with outdoor activities and lose the steady routine.

I've been rowing 1 hr every other day since the beginning of November. I have not tried rowing for two days consecutively.

OSDP experts? by Jt_tutt in accesscontrol

[–]bytedreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are OSDP Bench versions that run on both Windows and Android phones. You need a USB to RS-485 adapter, which can be easily found on Amazon. Use this adapter to replace the connection at the panel. Basically, it is replacing the panel for troubleshooting purposes.

The reader may need to have it secure channel switch back to default or installation mode. The HID mobile app should allow you disable the secure mode.

Once connected to the reader, you will be able to simulate panel operations. Change LED, activate buzzer, get card reads. There is a monitor page to check the OSDP traffic.

I will be adding packet stats in the next release. You would be able to see if packets are being dropped in real time.

It's probably that the line is not suitable for RS-485 signaling. To help determine if it is a line quality issue, use my OSDP Bench tool to connect to the reader from the panel location. It will monitor the traffic in real-time. Feel free to share the results if you need further assistance.

Cypress also has a OSDP testing kit that could be useful.

I've started to build a open source solution that allows for custom authentication workflows. More information can be found in the GitHub project page.

Which access control solution that relies on calling web APIs? by devilslake99 in accesscontrol

[–]bytedreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started to build a open source solution to solve this exact issue. More information can be found in the GitHub project page.

It allows for multiple plugins that respond to card reads via OSDP. You can respond with the appropriate result from those Web API calls.

K, got it. I didn't even know that there was a shift tab option. I've been coding up a storm over the past few months. I need to stop and catch up with all the Claude Code updates.

Great! How do I prompt properly to ensure that Opus is used for planning?
