I love Kobo for that. I hooked UART with a Variometer (measure rate of climb in aircraft) and use it in glider soaring as a flight computer (good contrast on sunny day)

Posted the details here: https://zabirauf.dev/blog/aviation/glider_flight_computer


I think Aider (https://aider.chat/) is what you are looking for.


Thanks, that's definitely directionally correct. (And if it turns out to not be quite what I'm looking for, it's probably enough to find alternatives.)


Yes, definitely faster now but crappier.


If I wanted to change it, add something after I generate does it mean I have to pay another $20 or does it allow multiple generations after buying? I tried finding the answer in FAQ but couldn't.

BTW, the PDF do look sleek.


There's currently no way to edit your pdf after purchasing. However if you want any adjustments, just reply to the email with your planner attached, and I'm happy to make modifications and re-send. I've gotten a lot of great customer feedback and ideas this way!


Got the same issue


Canada,ditto.


Restarted my phone thinking something wrong with it. Then changed to Cloudflare DNS instead of PiHole thinking it maybe pihole issue. Because when does HN ever go down :D


I feel you: I recently migrated my network setup to a VM based solution and it has been a bit volatile the first week; especially while I tweaked it or learned some details. But it worked well for the last week, and all of a sudden HN doesn't work... Pihole? Ipv6 or ipv4? Random libvirt iptables? Opnsense unhappy? Thank God for isitdownorjustme!


Shameless plug.

I have been building a blog using Next.js (for static content) with Pluto (for interactive and richer content, inspired from MIT Intro to Computation Thinking).

I think it's a great combination of richness and expressive content which brings the user along with the interactiveness.

Example post: https://zabirauf.dev/blog/notebooks/understanding_std

Source code: https://github.com/zabirauf/blog

P.S: Still dealing with some bugs in deploying PlutoSliderServer so interactivity is broken.


Great idea. I was honestly pretty disappointed by how hard it was to put a blog post I wrote in Pluto onto my static website. I still really think Pluto needs a way to generate static markdown similar to jupyter and maybe create a button to "edit or run this notebook" as an image with a link to some javascript magic with the actual notebook embedded. I ended up having to use iframes which felt far from ideal[1] since the html output is a jumbled mess[2].

Thats great! How did you start with finding consulting projects and building street cred? Has writing blogs bring you more business yet?


The million-dollar question: how do you find clients?

Honestly, the first one approached me via HackerNews. The rest have been from my network.

Blogging has yet to bring me more business, because my name and brand have not reached the mind-share yet to rely solely on that. But I'm working on it!

I also realize that this is a long-term play, it will likely take me 3+ years before my name is reputable enough to be the reason someone hires me from all the places they've seen my name.


Good point, I'll take a look at the creating an internal CA and generate own certificate. The point of LE API servers down is pretty good and makes the use of own CA more enticing. I suspect that will also break a lot of other websites as well as the usage of LE grows overtime so I suppose critical systems should avoid LE altogether.


LE certs can still be used in those cases. We use LE extensively for the (somewhat critical) project I'm on. We centralize all certificate creation from our deployment server(s), so that we just push the certs out when the servers are built.

Doing it this way means we don't rely on the LE servers being up all the time, since we renew at the 1 month remaining point. If they're down for a day two, they'll just renew after they're back up. It also means our loadbalancers don't need access to the DNS system to handle the DNS-01 challenge required for wildcard certs :)


You also don’t want sensitive internal infrastructure address data in certificate transparency logs (this also applies to AWS provided ACM certs).


Can you please elaborate more on what other ways are you referring to? This particular way was used to communicate with the DB hosted on a different cloud provider from where it was being used. I would like to learn about different ways to accomplish the same securely. This was one of the ways I could find.


lots of ways..

at the network: ipsec, openvpn, wireguard

tcp proxy before the application: stunnel, spiped

mongo protocol is http right?

http tls proxy: haproxy, nginx, etc


I would expect native SSL to have better perf than at least some of those. Maybe. Probably not ipsec and wireguard.
