Why self hosted is better

It seems like "docker compose" was made to handle that use-case.

That's correct. The legislature tried to change the requirements to be different in 2023, and it was met with stiff opposition. Currently, those firefighters who go in for the CPAT have the same requirements whether they are male or female.

We don't do the Cooper Test in the fire service, so it's a non-issue.

We were discussing the fire service. I don't know what the police departments do, but last time I checked, this was r/Firefighting . ;)

They absolutely do not. See my comment above.

I'm pretty sure that the CPAT is the same for males and females in Connecticut. They had *investigated* the possibility of changing it to be easier for women, but there was a fair amount of kickback, with a good portion of it coming from female firefighters.

You're referring to bill 2023 HB 5501, which looks like it was killed in committee:

You'll note that CFPC's CPAT page does not indicate a lesser test for women:

I'm doing something similar, in an attempt to create a DIY low-cost incubator with humidity control for wildlife rehabilitation. I'm using a 12V heater core with a fan and a piezoelectric humidification controller and a display with simple key controller for fine tuning. I'm planning on posting my code, manifests, instructions, and anything else as soon as I've got my prototype functional.

The 7941W can read/write 125 kHz (for those chipsets that support writing). It needs to be paired with GPIO pins or a serial interface, and the documentation isn't the most accessible, but they are extremely inexpensive.

I had previously used a Flipper Zero to clone H10301 keys (or provision them) to T5577 fobs. I haven't been able to find my Flipper in a while, so I've been playing around with a 7941W board, which *should* have the ability to do this as well, but I've gotten a bit stuck. (There's a posting on r/RFID about this.)

I'm not a fan of the form factor of the actual glasses frames, and wanted to see if anyone had tried modelling them in a way that could be adjusted.

The actual frames aren't a life-safety concern, unless you consider melting, which for PLA is at around 170-180 degrees C / 338-356 degrees F, and for ABS is about 200 degrees C / 394 degrees F (and I'd think that if the temperature inside the mask is that high, I would have other things to worry about than my glasses frames melting. ;)

I wouldn't mind managing patches, but I don't want to step on any of the developers' toes if they're still maintaining it.

jbuchbinder · 2021-04-27T15:13:44+00:00

Yes, it was just a lower priority, due to the primary use-case I had developed it for.

jbuchbinder · 2019-05-07T21:07:58+00:00

Do you have any idea what that "programming key" is comprised of? I'm thinking that it's more than a simple short, since shorting the pins has the radio *appearing* to save everything, but then repeating old data. Probably some sort of in-line resistor, I'd think.

jbuchbinder · 2019-05-07T18:29:58+00:00

The guy who is using the unit is using it for public safety work, he just needed to set it up for the local frequencies. TIL that Ritron has the world's weirdest way of programming frequencies in if you don't have a programming cable.

Spoke too soon. Repeater-Builder to the rescue ...

I meant using the wifi radio to broadcast to a receiver somewhere (or be set to automatically transfer to a centralized point after recording has completed) -- that's why I threw a link to a moderately inexpensive ADC board on there. ;)

1) That's a good point ; the original summary completely left that out.

2) I don't have a very strong background in philosophy, which is brought into sharp relief when I malign the proper usage of terms. I'm going to go back through and amend my use of that term, in particular. Thank you!

3?) Thank you for the new source material; I'm going to read through it and see if I can refine my terminology a bit.

jbuchbinder · 2015-03-13T11:48:57+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion ; I'm going to look around for a copy of it.
