"The index is a ludicrous product"... for you, and most of the general public.

But there are 1,000s of us that heard about it, researched the limitations.. and still bought one immediately.

At $100 even if it only lasts a year it would still be worth it. For me.


The app has the ability to connect to any MCP Server. Could that be used for your use-case?

Also check out https://www.tindie.com/ - it's a site for small companies & individuals to sell tech-related stuff. A quick POE search turned up Radiation Dosimeters, Air quality meters, BLE gateways and more.


Might be worth contacting the seller before buying.

The "Color" (ie: type/what's being sold) is "PDF Manual By Email", so it's possible they selling just the PDF assembly manual...


getting the bricks shouldn't be that difficult, should it?


yeah but if all you're getting is the manual that's free https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-215601/NightHawk11991/asml-...


Looks good, but it'll probably take a while until it's anywhere close to the coverage of existing repositories:

https://templates.blakadder.com/ has almost 3,000 devices flashable onto Tasmota firmware.

For older Tuya devices there's https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

OpenBeken https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App covers 800 of the newer generation Tuya devices.

And there's a large community adapting ESP32 devices onto https://esphome.io/


Oh, esphome is more than only esp32 these days. For one it always worked on the pre-esp32 ESPs. But yeah, RPI2040, nrf52 and a couple of other platforms work too.


Yup, it will take a bit of time until we index as many devices as possible. Also, we need to invest a bit more to make the AI search faster and much better. (If anyone has any ideas, we're open to feedback.)

Also, I'm curious — how do you think we can make the device pages even better? My personal problem is that I want to find devices for a specific use case, and the issue is that it's pretty hard to extract real-life use cases for all the scraped devices. We will need a way to extract these insights from the internet.


Great idea.

You could have discussion under each device, or else have a forum where devices can be selected and tagged. Maybe a "builds" page where devices have been implemented in end user setups.

Also, I've seen motherboards/SBCs from China where it is impossible or difficult to find Bios updates, especially in English. This is for the Mini PC market. Have you seen sbcwiki.com - they have a news, software and tutorials section. A lot of HN activity in this space: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...

Another idea is to build up wishlists and ownerlists around devices. Good resource for people looking for ideas/help. Can have photos too.


You've invented a room-temperature superconducting material? No?

Didn't think so.

Currently available superconductors still need liquid nitrogen cooling, meaning they're not feasible for in-orbit installations.


One of the things Sal Mercogliano stressed is that the crew (and possibly other crews of the same line) modified systems in order to save time.

Rather than doing the process of purging high-sulphur fuel that can't be used in USA waters, they had it set so that some of the generators were fed from USA-approved fuel, resulting in redundancy & automatic failover being compromised.

It seems probable that the wire failure would not have caused catastrophic overall loss of power if the generators had been in the normal configuration.

There's also this video from Kyle Hill which is pretty good (I think it's a different incident though, not sure) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap0orGCiou8


My go-tos are usually Fascinating Horror https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5HbUOtyqk and Plainly Difficult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7gVqBY52MY.

I've gone off Kyle Hill after a lot of people pointed out that he was promoting a scam (BetterHelp) on his video about fraud and his response was just to tell people to deal with it


This may be good for the selfhoster who is running more an a couple of sites.

But a GUI to manage enterprise-level SSL fleets? Doubtful.

Not when a change/configuration management system (Puppet, Chef, Ansible etc etc..) driven by git commits enables single-source-of-truth, peer-review, and automatic creation/monitoring/renewal of certificates.


You're absolutely right, at the enterprise level, managing an SSL fleet goes far beyond just issuance, and you can't assume the certificates you're issuing are the only ones that exist.

Shameless plug: if you need to cut through the noise of thousands of certs across thousands of hosts, there's https://sslboard.com


Shame this isn't open source or some open source equivalent


To be honest, it's rather difficult and costly to run, with a 1.5B rows database of indexed unexpired certificates and a scanning job that took weeks from dozens of IPs.


Oh so this is only cloud hosted service, no on-prem option?


The CT Log scanning infrastructure is cloud based (rather bare metal actually), the application db, service, and Host scanning can be on-prem. An exceptional enterprise customer could convince me to offer a 100% on-prem solution


Helo and thank you to point out this tool I ignored before.

There is an opportunity to improve the tool then I added this feature as wanted feature in the plan as certmate dev :)


Most "homelabs", self hosters or small outfits would already use something like Traefik or Cloudflare tunnels with auto cert management.

Their main concerns are getting browser "unsafe" warnings disappear and keep it so. They want nothing to do with cert issuance or renewal.
