That should do for me
Arabic, French, English, Chinese (mandarin), Russian.
Seems like something that could fit here
I was taking the CCNA course then tests in 2013. I remember how they were pushing their IoT prediction in the courses so hard.
IoT ended up cringe af. To control your vacuum cleaner, it needs to connect to a remote API server hosted in AWS then back to you sitting next to the vacuum cleaner. I could say at the time nobody wants that shit. Now I hate it even more and I skip all the smart products.
I have a similar feeling about LLMs now. They are nice, they solve some problems nicely, they are far from perfect, I dont want them shoved everywhere.
NextCloud is straight up unusable to me no matter how much resources I was throwing at it.
OpenCloud seems promising. I would definitely like to play with it a little. I would also like to check check how can I help with a thing or two there.
This seems like a similar story with matrix Synapse vs Dendrite.
Genocide vs military op depends on side? I am on neither side, an observer from outside and I can see one fully armed side holocausting another side for the past 70 years and making sure nobody from anywhere in the world complain about it through lobbying.
I get your point. But Microsoft knows exactly who is using their cloud and why (id proof and industry), vs something for everyone to grab (LF doesnt require id proof and industry). Microsoft is knowingly serving child murderers and it knows their tech is used to do exactly that.
You cannot ban kitchen knives because there were a mass stab, but you enforce strict background check so you dont sell rifles to school shooters.
In other words, impossible to enforce linux ban without removing the open source aspect of it and affect good people like, but totally possible just not serve somebody commiting a genocide.
nobody is profiting from that, so that’s not her point. Linux foundation isnt directly selling something used to detect a blow up kids
All questions are welcome! By saying it’s intended to tech people earlier I meant if you know what are the different components of an HTTP query, then you know enough to use it.
The end goal is for me to give this my email creds, it will then monitor my email and when I get a match it’ll run the API call, right?
That’s not what I wanted to express. Not requesting your email credentials is an intended design decision (it’s more challenging also). Because personally, if I was a user, I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving my email credentials to a random website online. The alternative solution is to generate an email controlled by the website like I did.
So yeah, the intended use case isn’t to monitor your email address. But rather give you an email address that you can plug in an alerting system for example that would result in a webhook call (that would notify you on matrix or telegram, create a github issue, create Jira ticket,…).
I would use this for email -> matrix but I’d have to self host it. I’m sure others would use it if you had some built in API calls that less techy people could use.
Self hosting isn’t necessary if you don’t want to, you can already add your matrix webhook and generate a random email address you can use. You can configure your current gmail account for example to forward certain or all emails to that randomly generated address and that would trigger a webhook (matrix msg in our example). It involves an extra step (configuring gmail) at the benefit of not having to share your personal creds with a random website online (gossip).
I can provide an example on how to do that if you want to test that.
I do agree with you though on the second part, I will be adding some ready-to-use blocks for the most common services. That’s already a planned feature.
Do you allow users to matched regex from the email and use it the API Call?
For now, it matches on the From Address only (to avoid spamming the API), but it will be very easy to add another field to match on the content or subject of the email if you think it’s a worthy feature.
I have never heard of ActivePieces. I took 30 min now to review it and play with it.
From that alone, I can say:
The last example will be equivalent to the following curl:
curl -L \
-X POST \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer github_pat_xxxx" \
-H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
https://api.github.com/repos/idrissbellil/cryptomonitor/issues \
-d '{"title":"Found a bug","body":"I'\''m having a problem with this.","assignees":["idrissbellil"]}'
Thanks for having a look!
Monitor my email and when I get one that matches the regex it’ll make an API call?
It’s this first one with a slight twist. It generates a random email for you rather than asking you to give your username & password (I don’t want to handle securing people’s usernames and emails at this stage). It makes an API call when the From Email matches the regex.
Example from demo:
URL: https://api.github.com/repos/idrissbellil/cryptomonitor/issues
Method: POST (The HTTP Method: POST, GET, PUT, ..)
From Regex: .* (only trigger the call given certain `From` emails so you it doesn't create a thousand tickets if somebody floods you with emails)
Payload: {"title":"{{ .Subject }}","body":"{{ .Body }}","assignees":["idrissbellil"]} (the data part of the POST/PUT/even GET query - here you can re-use parts of the email you received like Subject, Body, To, From
Headers: {"Accept":"application/vnd.github+json","Authorization":"Bearer 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","X-GitHub-Api-Version":"2022-11-28"}
I use keepassxc + syncthing, super easy to setup and decentralized.
