I kept hitting the same wall looking for an offline wiki. Kiwix is great, but it's an app plus multi-GB ZIM files. IPFS needs connectivity and setup. I just wanted something dead simple: a knowledge file you can open on any phone with no install , and hand to the next person over Bluetooth or a USB stick. So I built Portable Knowledge Mesh . It's one reader.html (~19 KB). You open it — even strai…

Here's how to stop your phone from staying on weak Wi-Fi and get it to quickly switch to cellular data.

Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com Faceless TikTok channels post 3-5 times a day. No filming, no editing software, no face on camera. The best ones gross $2K-10K/month from the Creator Fund and brand deals. And the entire content pipeline can be automated. The bottleneck isn't idea generation or scripting. It's video assembly. Taking a script, matching it with stock footage, adding TTS narr…

Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com You need video processing in your app. Converting formats, trimming clips, generating thumbnails, adding watermarks. Building this from scratch means installing FFmpeg on a server, managing queues, handling failures, and scaling infrastructure. Or you use an FFmpeg REST API and skip all of that. The problem: there are at least six services that claim to do…

Matter, Zigbee & Thread Device Migration – What Your Smart Home Needs Right Now Hey folks, Nick Creighton here – the voice you just heard on the latest SmartHome Wizardry episode. If you’ve ever felt like your home is a multilingual conference where nobody speaks the same language, you’re not alone. In this post I’m taking the audio‑only chat we had on the podcast and turning it into a hands‑on g…

Explore top technology partners helping enterprises modernize complex systems, reduce legacy debt, and scale digital infrastructure in 2026. Finding the right modernization partner is harder than the technical work itself. This list covers 10 focused, mid-sized technology companies that bring hands-on engineering depth.

My goal is to reduce the needed power as much as possible, in sum it should be under 30-40W. For this, I need to also disable my GPU in a way it consumes 0W or nearly 0W. I will use my CPU instead. I ...

With an initial capacity of 24 megawatts, the innovative data center uses seawater as a natural cooling system.

I took part in a hackathon in Vilnius the other weekend (courtesy of Basedcollective) during the pink soup festival. I brought along an old rotary phone and our two-man team spent the next 48 hours sticking our fingers in it. We wired a Raspberry Pi into the phone which interfaced with all of its IO and communicated with our server via a single websocket connection which controlled everything fro…

A surveillance company plans to add sensors to automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) that would mean the devices, as well as capture the license plate of passing vehicles, would also sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in those cars, potentially letting law enforcement identify specific drivers or passengers. The technology, called Signal…

Most BLE proximity features start with RSSI. That is fine when the product only needs a rough "near or far" signal. It becomes fragile when distance affects security, access control, asset tracking or industrial behavior. Bluetooth Channel Sounding changes that by adding a standardized ranging capability to Bluetooth LE. Instead of relying only on received signal strength, two compatible devices …

New York expands street sensors to map crossings, near-misses and traffic patterns.

NASA just demonstrated a technology that lets spacecraft communicate across multiple networks, paving the way for a more flexible and reliable space internet. NASA’s experimental Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) has successfully completed its primary technology demonstration, marking an important step toward more flexible communications in space. Because the project met its original goals…

MQTT in the Wild: What Industrial Monitoring Taught Me About Resilient Messaging For web developers walking into industrial MQTT for the first time. The Night the Line Didn't Stop It was 2 AM on a Tuesday when my phone buzzed with an alert from Honeybadger. A Python service that bridged our plant-floor MQTT broker to a PostgreSQL database had thrown 4,000 unhandled exceptions in twelve minutes. T…

Deploying Production Systems on Raspberry Pi: Lessons from the Field These are the things I wish I had known before deploying Pis in production. SD Cards Will Kill You The first production Pi I deployed used a generic microSD card. It failed after four months. The second one used a "name brand" card. It failed after six months. The pattern remained always the same: the filesystem corrupts during …

Pre-submission readiness guide for IEEE Internet of Things Journal: scope fit across IoT systems, networks, security, and edge, the real-IoT validation bar, fair baselines and ablations, the eight-page overlength threshold, the $2,695 open access fee, and when to route elsewhere.
