I'm using Deviceplane for this right now - it's designed for embedded linux machines but could be used on any linux distro. Is anyone else using Deviceplane still? It seems the project has gone dead, though the website and github pages are still up.

I like it because of the easy web interface, and ability to tag / organize machines. Authentication is really simple.

Regulations (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/regsho.asp) exist to prevent more shares being shorted than exist. However, those lending out shares to be used in a short can demand them back. Also, banks might demand you put up more capital as a stock you shorted increased in value. But I wanted to clarify that there are regulations such that you can't short a stock out of thin air, the stock you're shorting must be "located". Making shorting completely illegal would likely lead to irrationally high values in the market, creating more bubbles like this one.

I am very unfamiliar with electron and security in general. But generally I understand electron as a browser-like sandbox for desktop applications.

Can someone please explain how the "electronSafeIpc" might be implemented? Naively this functionality seems to be the very dangerous part of this exploit, and seems to be a workaround of electron's intent to sandbox your application?

Does anyone have a good detailed article on the crypto behind iCVV/dynamic CVV? This article summarizes how it works, but I haven't found a good detailed article after much googling

Thanks for your feedback! I have 0 experience with mapping so it was fun to see all the tools out there. There's much more out there than I expected. I did notice they had the API, but figured I would learn something a little more universally applicable by learning PostGIS. I should try that out though for a more lightweight and cheaper option next time

The vector file seems really useful. I ran a query that resulted in a 1.5 GB geojson file... much too big for Leaflet. Maybe the Vector tile would be compact enough? Thanks!
