  • Possibly mTLS, which you’d configure in your reverse proxy. You could email them the certificate and instructions on installing it. I believe for Chromium browsers on Windows you basically just double click the cert and click through the wizard. Firefox I know has a thing in the settings for importing the cert. Android you just tap on the cert and make sure it opens with ‘Certificate Installer’ if it gives you the option.




  • What is the scrappy super cheap but capable competitor of the pi, like the pi was to average desktop PCs?

    I’d say Rock Pi or Orange Pi, if you want something close to capable.

    what can do the same as a pi for 30 bucks like 10 years ago the pi was?

    Probably the Arduino Uno Q. It’s Qualcomm’s new Arduino board that runs Linux. It also seems to start at around $44 for the 2GB model (I’m guessing they’re making a loss since they’re new to the SBC game, and they’re probably trying to gain market share).

    Or if you don’t need a whole general purpose operating system, then there’s plenty of microcontrollers that’ll work fine (ESP32, STM32, etc.).








  • I actually made a similar thing a few years ago, and mostly relied on WebSockets with a HTTP fallback: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/My_Time

    You actually seem to know what you’re doing with Workers though, mine was pretty much a half-assed attempt at porting my python code (which again could probably be better).

    Also my desktop is PTP synced to a GNSS disciplined time server, and I’ve found the My_Time workers demo to be fairly accurate. I also feel Cloudflare should be reasonably accurate given they have database products you’re intended to use with workers, but yeah, there’s no guarantees.
