That's really neat! What is the hardware set up - how does it interface with the camera?
See my comment above. The cameras are on my WIFI network. They provide a URL you connect to and that gives you a stream. My python stream connects to that stream so I can watch my birdfeeder by looking at my laptop stream. FYI, VLC also knows how to be a RTSP client.

Very cool What do you think about the apocalypse story that a person uses something like this to make a virus worse than covid? (or the AI fears but with bio)
I am a bigger fan of the hero stories where everyone is able to fight an epidemic themselves, instead of being subject to the whims of pharma / ineffective government policy. The moderna vaccine basically took a weekend to design, but many months to test, since they were going to give millions of doses out. What if one day, every small town had the ability to manufacture independently designed vaccines for local usag…
ah, we share an important idea, distributed means of production, as a way to hedge against societal collapse

#774Hey HN, this is a project started abut 2 months ago as an assignment to myself so that I can finally learn Go. Its an implementation of Kademlia DHT protocol in form of a Go lib. I eventually want to make it useful for the community but right now its largely untested.

#775https://ask.moe
Ask.Moe is a European non-profit, free and open-source software, privacy-focused search engine. The initial plan is to build various categories, such as Podcast, Flight, Food, Shop, Math, etc. This approach will allow us to provide higher quality results compared to a general-purpose search engine, and it can hopefully allow us to slowly grow until we figure out how to handle the costs of Bing's API.
We just launched a Domain category (https://ask.moe/domain), which consist of a domain name finder that makes it easy to find great domains like FireFox, MailChimp, TaskRabbit, etc. by combining two words, searching through hundreds of domains in seconds.

I never was able to crack into a niche / use case for an addressable market.
If anyone wants to help, let me know. Email in contacts.

#777I am building standardized and modular mass-distributed DNA toolkits. Two blog posts for context: https://blog.libredna.org/post/cheapdna/ https://blog.libredna.org/post/sporenet/ Website offering version 1: https://www.sporenetlabs.com/ I pretty much figured out (after quite a few years) how to distribute DNA for 100x-200x cheaper. Right now, I’m building DNA toolkits for engineering every different organism (it’s e…
very interesting.
btw: the link in "If you would like to support the development of Sporenet, check out the shop at Sporenet Labs." at https://blog.libredna.org/post/sporenet/ takes me to a missing page: https://blog.libredna.org/post/sporenet/sporenetlabs.com

#778https://smoothtrack.app - an app that uses your phone's AR for 3D head tracking for PC games. Kind of a "VR" feel for sim games, without VR. Has layout issues on some smaller screens, I'm still working on a USB connection feature, and lots of other stuff I need to improve on. But releasing early was the right decision, it's already doing pretty well!
Nice to see your post, I've been using this on a Pixel 3a with MS Flight Simulator and it works well! I wish there was less latency, but it is manageable and definitely adds to the experience. Thanks! Curious what you think of my own submission here, a tool to make flight sim control maps from a browser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25702356
Looks like a ton of work, quite cool!
I don't use a HOTAS all that much, except for when I play Elite: Dangerous - and Elite already has a different site with lots of layout combos (though I forget its name).

Is this the MacOS equivalent of KDE's activities? https://blog.hanschen.org/2011/02/04/activities-a-change-in-...
I remember trying to compare these before (but not what I ended up thinking), so maybe it's better if I just explain what it does: When you change your "context", all of your open apps and their windows (on all spaces, on all screens) are closed. The apps and their windows from the context you are switching to open – their positions and working state recalled from when you were last in this context. You can only be i…
That makes it worse than KDE virtual desktops or activities.

#780I made an open-source Rails engine to offload marketing campaigns: https://caffeinate.email . I haven't tweeted about it yet so I guess I would call it half-baked since nobody else has really touched it and I don't know all that I missed. We use it at work. We were using a combination of Outreach.io, Salesforce, Iterable, and our own awful in-house solution when I realized how bad it was needed. Then I needed it for…
since you did it for yourself it is sure something useful, but the webpage do not give me enough info about it: I am very curious, and would like to know more: if you have time can you add here some more info, maybe examples? (btw: I love RoR)
