Thanks for the shout out to kindle-dash! <3 Great looking dashboard you have there!

Instead of using a cronjob you can put the device into sleep and use the RTC to schedule the next wakeup (see [1]). This takes only very little power, as the device is only turned …

Some Kindles can easily be jailbroken [1]. I have two jailbroken Kindle 4 devices and they're still great. Both for reading (though you have to sideload books) and as e-ink dashboa…

Have you considered managing DNS records with Terraform or Pulumi? That way you can easily automate (bulk) changes. Edit: this is possible with Namecheap as well, see https://regis…

Flutter is no longer the only game in town (using the same approach), new solutions have come that are direct competitors.

I've personally only tested it with a Kindle 4 NT. I haven't had any reports of people using this on other Kindle devices, but in theory it should work as long as the device is jai…

Highscalability.com was great! I still follow their RSS feed but there's not a lot of new content nowadays. If someone knows a similar resource I'd love to hear about it!

Flutter for web is quite rapidly improving in all the areas you mentioned. For right now I think it's already very suitable for highly complex browser applications such as a Figma,…

I'm using it myself to run Whatsapp for the Matrix Whatsapp bridge [1] on a VPS. [1] https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/android-vm-setup.htm...

Interesting. I've never been able to make Anbox run in a cloud environment though, don't recall the exact details. But indeed I guess it should be able to work as there's also a co…

Came across this very useful project. It provides Docker images with Android running directly in Docker, without qemu or an emulator. I've never seen this before, all other solutio…

Very similar. I guess it's really k8s (the control plane) itself that is so resource intensive. Looking with top right now kube-apiserver, kubelet, kube-controller, kine and k0s us…

Curious what makes you think k3s is the better choice? The only reason I ended up going with k0s was that I had problems getting k3s working well behind a locked down firewall. Wit…

I'm using iptables myself and it works fine, though you have to make sure that traffic on the kube-bridge interface is allowed. With iptables: -A INPUT -i kube-bridge -j ACCEPT -A …

I'm doing something similar though I've opted specifically to _do_ use Kubernetes via k0s [0]. It works wonderfully well and allows me to use most things that are available in the …

Might be nice to deploy the Flutter app on the web too. Flutter web support is pretty decent now. SQLite on the web is probably going to be tricky though (sqflite doesn't support i…

I'm not familiar with this, sorry.

If your Kindle 4 NT is not broken it's actually pretty easy to root it and use as a dashboard. Shameless plug: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25939042

That's my project :-) Ht was indeed very useful as it was trivial to compile it for armv7, statically linking openssl. Thanks @ducaale!

Thanks I'm an RSS nut too but didn't know about hnrss. Super useful to keep track of replies.
