A couple of years ago, I lived in an apartment and made a doorbell repurposed from an Amazon Dash button. Basically I have a daemon that sends a message each time a button press is…

Wan Wired Lan + Wireless Lan If you have a beefy wireless Lan that can pull 1.5 Gbps then the two Lan connections combined can still saturate the Wan pipe.

The Chumby with its wiki and open hardware/software philosophy was so ahead of its time and so influential to me. I started my whole career with hacking the Chumby’s user space [1]…
