Nah, I guess it is Palo Alto. PHP and Appweb is their stack AFAIK. Forti does not use PHP, Juniper uses Appweb with PHP but on FreeBSD - but the article mentions SELinux.

I think Gemini refers to Web Workers API rather than a Cloudflare Worker. And that should work indeed.

The Swiss Food Composition Database (https://naehrwertdaten.ch/en/) is an exceptional resource for detailed nutritional information on over 1,100 foods available in Switzerland but also around the world. It offers comprehensive data on macronutrients, micronutrients, and fat composition.

Maybe that would be a good source to challenge and validate the values provided by your LLM approach.

As a developer of local applications, I take issue with the notion that apps should be free simply because they don't incur server costs. This argument overlooks several crucial aspects of software development:

Development costs: The bulk of an app's expense lies in its continuous development, not in hosting. Even if backend services can be run for a nominal fee, the time and expertise required for ongoing maintenance, updates, and improvements are significant.

Value proposition: Apps provide utility and solve problems for users. The price should reflect this value, not just the operational costs.

Sustainability: Charging for apps ensures developers can continue to support and improve their products, benefiting users in the long run.

Hidden costs: While server costs might be minimal, there are other expenses like development tools, testing devices, and occasional third-party services that add up.

Amazing project. Would consider buying one, if you sent to Germany. Did you consider writing your app using the Web Serial API? If you did, why did you decide to go the native route?

It appears that the problem is related to the version string transmitted by Firefox Mobile. If they were to send an older user agent string, the issue would likely be resolved. However, any rollback would need to be implemented by Firefox, and it seems they are not at fault here.

From Google's standpoint, this issue may be considered a "new" bug, which means they need to conduct an investigation and address it. Consequently, a rollback is not a viable solution for them.

Depends on what you consider minimal, but I enjoy working with PocketBase and VanJS[1]. However there is no component library built in (if this is what you were asking for).

Amazing. I was looking for something like this about a year ago. Looks very promising and may be a good drop in replacement for some simple Auth0 use-cases as well as homelab setups. I was not able to get past „ redirect_uri must be on the same domain as client_id“. Maybe you can give an example of a valid client id for your demo instance.

I recently enjoyed reading https://every-layout.dev. Even though I considered myself to be quite good at CSS, some of the ideas covered in that book (like thinking about how big your elements should be and let the browser handle the breaking instead of relying on media queries) was eye opening for me.

I always recommend https://qrmenucreator.com/ to restaurant owners. I feel it is simple enough for them to get started, gives features like instant changes and comes with a sane default layout/ui and is free of charge. Payment and ordering would still be done in the classical way, but you get the chance to at least have an always up to date menu with the possibility to reflect when something is sold out or temporarily unavailable.

It is pretty common in Germany (at least in my bubble) to transfer money via paypal to one another.

If you just need the display: AliExpress. If you want to drive it, I would recommend EPDIY (https://github.com/vroland/epdiy).

Congrats. That works really well. Now just let me pay a small tip for every image I want to download in full resolution so you can cover your bills. Results were ahead of those produced by remove.bg.

In times of IoT I do not get why they do not offer a version with Bluetooth and WiFi. However a nice product that may be able to push the whole microcontroller hobby space forward.

Do you have any more information on that? Is there already a repo or something I can follow?
