Are you thinking of 'towel.blinkenlights.nl' which plays ASCII Star Wars in the terminal? There's a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbiay2zUKL0


Yes! That’s it! Thank you for finding it! I remember this popping up on HN a few months ago but couldn’t remember what exactly the command was.


I bought a MyQ garage door system and I'm not required to pay any subscription fees to use the hub and sensors. Do you have any more info?


I think they're talking about if you want to integrate MyQ with other services you need to pay for their subscription. But that feature requires both engineering and ongoing hosting services from Chamberlain... so I don't know but it feels justified to have to pay a subscription for it.

Using MyQ through their own app is free. If anything that seems like a deal to not have to pay subscription.

I'm gonna use this zinger at my next pitch meeting.

9 years of work experience in the software/web-app development space. Looking for Laravel-based, salaried, permanent work, but open to whatever comes along.


I built mine to learn Angular, then ported it over to React. I had some help building some customization options like color/background selection, and have it set up so you can log in to GitHub and backup/restore your bookmarks to a Gist.

Have you tried ngrok? https://ngrok.com


+1 for ngrok, totally worth the $80 a year (or whatever it is I shell out).


It's 343MB total repo folder size once built. The binary it produces counts for 88MB of that.

Looks like it's using this package here [1] to gather the information. It lists support for Linux, macOS, "partial Windows", FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and SunOS.

There's a compatibility table for the data you can access on each system.

[1] https://www.npmjs.com/package/systeminformation


This is correct. I have it currently deployed on an Arch setup, but I've also tested it on other flavors of Linux.

Tried testing on Windows as well, which is when I came across the issues with compatibility. Technically, it should still work for most of the graphs. The library just doesn't reliably give proper values for I/O (disk and network). There is also an additional Windows edge case where it does not return proper CPU temp values on AMD Ryzen CPUs.

So it could still work, with the simple workaround of not displaying those graphs on Windows, but since Windows was not exactly my intended use case anyway, I didn't really address it with the intention of doing so if / when it was needed.

If anyone reading this is serious about deploying on Windows, let me know.
