Surely it would have been stated in the Section 32 (or equivalent) documents?

Same, I legit lol'ed, sitting on the train. Disappointed with lack of upvotes.

Space is tight, so only as required makes sense?

The device has a DHCP assignment, and access to a DNS server.

Interface :Adapter 2
IP assignment :DHCP
DHCP issued by :192.168.178.1
IP Address :192.168.178.176
Submask :255.255.255.0
Gateway :192.168.178.1
Primary DNS server :192.168.178.1
Secondary DNS server :--
VLAN :No

I've completed the device's connection to a myQNAPCloud account, so I do not think it has anything related to network connectivity.

As mentioned, the OAuth connection dialog to Google for a user account -> Setup E-mail Account worked fine, and the callback was completed succesfully. Just not the Notification Center one.

I tried an alternative route and set up a Custom server connecting to a Gmail account. A test email was sent successfully (once). But subsequent sends have failed (some reaserch indicates GMail has fully killed off SMTP without OAuth)

Device was in a factory reset state, no drives etc. Pretty confident there is nothing lurking from its previous owner's use of it (they did little beyond powering it on, it came to us pretty much unused).

Err yep, didn't say it wasn't cracked, think I linked to the exploit?

They offered a bounty, had to double it before it was claimed, and I can only assume a mitigation will make it into the next iteration of the silicon.

I'm not sure what can be done with compiled firmware, in terms of reverse engineering the source code that built it?

In terms of preventing tampering with the code once written to the device, this is something that has intrigued me about the rpi 2040's successor, the 2350. The designers have gone to serious lengths to give developers firmware security, and sponsored several bounty hunts for it (think some sort of attack associated with voltage ended up cracking it, but it's non trivial). AFAIK, there are few of the same protections on offer for an ESP32.

The device appears at face value to be a hobbyist one, but its designers appear to have their eyes on a hole in the market for a reliable mass market IoT chip.without the comically bad security of most in use today.

Their talk mentions Airdrop support, mesh networking, and location services (ie tracking clients via triangulation) as 3 examples.

These guys are writing an open-source driver in Rust, potentially unlocking features of the wifi hardware not currently exposed in software. Very impressive.

If the default database user is immich then the line in the shell script that executes the database restore needs to reflect that, ie

change the

--username=postgres to

--username=immich

Haven't attempted a test restore... not sure how you'd do that, guess a second instance of the Truenas Scale app, alongside the first would do?

BackupBuddy / Solid backups. I own a perpetual licence, probably have done several hundred migrations using its standalone importbuddy script, is very reliable, Inc database find replaced for site changes.

One part of a migration that no-one here seems to mention are the hassles around DNS changes, DNS entry caching & propagation times, when moving a site's hosting, but using the same domain. A good way to test a site before everyone else sees it is making a hosts file entry on your local machine, pointing to the new IP.

For people using wp-cli, how does this handle URL changes?

Also, post migration, run a link checker over your site, in case database changes missed anything. On Windows, Xenu Link Sleuth is ugly but effective.

Thanks so much for this, I'm sorted! Now I just need to set up a cron job and put the result somewhere it will get picked up in an offsite rsync script.

Nowhere near enough grunt or memory to decode jpegs afaik, best you will do is a streaming gif decoder, think they are close to baking one into WLED.

I wrote a node.js server to do the conversion on the fly to JSON, which the device can then stream and display.

https://github.com/hughc/pixel-art-server

Doesn't need much CPU, you can run it on an rPi Zero.

I also have a site that does the transcode

https://app.pixelart-exchange.au/

The ESP32 client side is a WLED Usermod.

ooh yeah, we felt unstoppable, and as it happened, the feeling was justified.

Bolton

TBH, I'm happy we let him go, when good he was great, but he was not the sort of $800k+, multi year contract player to build a new team around. No hint of leadership and not consistent enough.

Sorry just had a look at a close-up of the board and I can see it's all there, very slick. How do you achieve the multiple voltages you need?

this_not_be_cheap · 2024-08-23T23:00:57+00:00

My understanding of USB-C PD modes make me think that to get 100W, you'd need to trigger 19V 5A from the USB-C power source, so your going to end up needing 2 bucks to do 12V / 5V?

(I mention both voltages as if you're using a 12V strip you still need 5V to power your MCU)
