Your site looks to be down right now as well -- getting a DB connection error.
May I suggest going static with the site if you can? Dunno what you're using or maybe if there's some dynamic content but I use Hugo[0] and it's quite convenient.
Way back when "X10" was a thing, a friend of mine made a webui for his lighting controls, he then published this on IRC.
He realized this was a bad idea when people kept turning his lights on and off for days lol. He'd neglected to put any real security or controls on it heh.
I'm glad to see that same spirit is alive and well on HN.
Since the site is down, here's a random project idea instead, loosely based on the submission title:
I would be awesome to have a high fidelity, perhaps even ray-traced visual LED simulator showing the light diffusion patterns of some classic LEDs and 7-segment LED displays.
You are right, ESP8266 doesn't actually have EEPROM - the EEPROM library is just faking it apparently. I just used some code from a previous project of mine - on Arduino Nano - which actually doesn't work on ESP8266. Need to update that part. (it does still increment the counter while it's plugged in, though)
Wasn't that - an unrelated issue due to an expired certificate and domain, just my luck it happens when people want to see a post I made, while I am in bed, sleeping
