It’s Kannada Rajyotsava week. I have been unable to work on Nithya Kannada for a long time. I hope to contribute in other ways; how about a bot that sends a Kannada word daily? It could be helpful to even Kannada native speakers. Let me know.
I have been looking for embeddable, playable HTML/CSS/JS snippets for some time. Services like JSBin, CodePen, CodeSandbox, etc., do allow that. But I was looking for a self-hosted version as my requirement was just the ability to use HTML/CSS/JS, which are native to the browser and can run offline without any backend services.
It’s Deepavali week. Happy Deepavali to everyone. May the light shine enough to get rid of the darkness in our hearts and minds.
COVID19 data project has ended as of October 21, 2022. I am not going to update the data anymore. It started on March 15, 2020, with a commit that included data from MOHFW. After 1115 commits and more than two and half years of data collection, it ends. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the project.
I want to use and run many small battery sensors across the home. Wifi would have worked, but battery-powered sensors make them portable and usable. Also, I would like to keep small sensors out of my wifi network for security reasons. Zigbee is the ideal candidate for this.
My friends are moving to the US for a while. I miss them already. At this point, I have more friends outside India than in India. This is probably true for others too. I think this is the second wave. The first wave was around 2010, almost ten years back.
