A birdfeeder, a security camera, and this python script: https://github.com/ctrager/opencv_py/blob/master/red_yellow_... I want to record visits to my birdfeeder but not all the visits. 99% of the visitors are sparrows, which, no offense to any sparrows reading this, are dull colored. I want to capture the cardinals, bright red birds. The python script monitors the video stream and starts recording when the image get…

Sparrow here. You will be hearing from my avian attorney.

In earnest, nice work! I recently bought what looks like the same feeder and have pondered making something similar. What camera are you using for it?

Note that you are sharing your user/pass and server address on the local server, although with a 10.x.x.x target I expect that's behind your router.

It's a pipeline engine for Kubernetes[1]. The idea is to build a tool that can be flexible enough for CI/CD, but also used for other things such as for example data processing. The pipelines are just designed as serial and parallel execution of pods with no fancy features (i.e. loops or conditions) and the idea is to let other tools generate more complex pipelines using code. Responsibility of triggering the pipeline…

Looks promising. How does it compare to Tekton?

My goal is try to make it simpler than other tools such as tekton by having less of its own DSL. For example, steps are mostly pure Job spec, instead of defining its own subset of features.

I think it's also more easily extensible than others if you want to trigger your pipeline in a different way. Sensors such as github-screener have a really simple event producing architecture.

One thing specific to github-screener is that it's focused on pull mechanism instead of relying on public webhooks like most of the other tools do. So you can easily host your private CI/CD without exposing a public endpoint.

(Edit) The reason I focused on having less of its own DSL because I ultimately saw how limiting it can be to have one. and it often end up as essentially a full featured language which is not reusable outside of the tool.

I probably shouldn't show this because it's still kind of hot garbage but here is the Hacker News client I'm working on in the C# version of Godot[0]. Maybe the embarrassment of exposure will spur me on to actually finish it...

Lastcast.fm (https://lastcast.fm/) is a half baked project that‘s supposed to be the Last.fm for podcasts helping you with discovery. You can automatically „scrobble“ (track) your podcasts and get statistics about your listening habits. You can also track things manually and put them into lists / follow friends and see what they are listening to and discover new shows.

https://bashboard.io Spent 3 months making this metrics dashboard, where you can send any JSON or data and it'll pick out charts from it. Best part is - no 3rd party service is left out and the learning curve is super shallow (just make a request with any data). The backend is very stable, but UX at the moment is poor, since I didn't manage to reach my target audience and am still thinking how to continue.

I don't know if you're aware but in the late '90s and early '00s "bash board" was a term that referred to an online forum where kids would make fun of one another. My middle school had multiple bash boards... doesn't mean you can't use the term today for something different, but just something to be aware of.

https://taskflowy-9a9aa.web.app/demo (desktop browser only so far) The idea is a daily note/task management tool combined with the WorkFlowy concept of infinite lists. The real use case here is for heavy note taking and also tracking the todos within all the notes. I found that with WorkFlowy I had so many buried todos that I could never see them in one place and manage them throughout the day. It’s great for notes,…

This is awesome, especially if you can keep it super lightweight and fast.

Fantasy UI thingy, or playing with dial UX ... https://carisenda.com/sandbox/fui/

Is it just a toy at this point? pretty, what data is backing it.

It's just a toy. Dial's are difficult to make work in real UIs but they feature a lot in FUIs. FUIs also assume a lot of knowledge/expertise on the part of the user ... to move the dial with a mouse here you need to hold shift, you can also increment with up and down (or shift up/down).

These dials try to be smarter by calculating the torque value of a mouse/touch movement, so you really have to move around the dial like a real one.

https://abriefhistoryofyesterday.com News in the digital age updates constantly. No matter what, there is always some "breaking news". This causes news sites to become more of a slot machine than a substantive source of information. A Brief History of Yesterday tries to be an antidote. It uses Wikipedia to show a summary of what happened yesterday. It's no news anymore, the content is already gradually becoming histo…

Kind of an interesting aggregation but Wikipedia is a lot of information to try and consume for a "brief history" I do like the tree view, but I don't like having to open up the different sections, I think I should be able to get what I'm looking for on the landing page. Also, and this is subjective but something about the UX makes it feel like an overwhelming amount of information, especially the health and environm…

Yes, the 'Health and environment' section is quite overwhelming, mostly due to COVID-19. That's why I close each section initially, this way you open only the sections that interest you.

I modify the tree from Wikipedia slightly to get a less cluttered overview.[1]
