Dokku: my favorite personal serverless platform - It’s often desirable to have HTTPS for your site. Dokku makes this easy with the Let’s Encrypt Plugin, which will even auto-renew for you. I don’t use this, because I’m letting Cloudflare handle this with its proxy.

Assist - Talking to Home Assistant - Assist allows you to control Home Assistant using natural language. It is built on top of an open voice foundation and powered by knowledge provided by our community. Assist is available to use on most platforms that can interface with Home Assistant. Look for the Assist icon :

Elasticsearch is open source, again - [D.N.A] Elasticsearch and Kibana can be called Open Source again. It is hard to express how happy this statement makes me. Literally jumping up and down with excitement here. All of us at Elastic are. Open source is in my DNA. It is in Elastic DNA.

The secret inside One Million Checkboxes - A few days into making One Million Checkboxes I thought I’d been hacked. What was that doing in my database? But let’s back up.

End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell - It is with great sadness that I find myself penning the hardest news post I’ve ever needed to write here at AnandTech. After over 27 years of covering the wide – and wild – word of computing hardware, today is AnandTech’s final day of publication.

Bypassing airport security via SQL injection - Like many, Sam Curry and I spend a lot of time waiting in airport security lines. If you do this enough, you might sometimes see a special lane at airport security called Known Crewmember (KCM).

Using Fibonacci Numbers to Convert from Miles to Kilometers and Vice Versa - I recently learned an interesting fact about Fibonacci numbers while watching a random number theory video on YouTube. Fibonacci numbers can be used to approximately convert from miles to kilometers and back. Here is how.

What is Li-Fi? Get the Details on What Might Be the Next Big Thing for the Internet - A new and unique technology is around the corner, with the potential to change the way we connect to the internet.
