[re]initializing...
What
... a hobby! I deal with 3D
printing, programming, microcontrollers, and single-board
computers and use this server here to control
and monitor a 3D printer. Also a power consumption
monitor is running including automatic shutdown of the
printer, a temperature monitor including fan control for
the server, and this self-programmed website here in a
flask-gunicorn framework.
Sockets, switchable via Wi-Fi, flashed with
Tasmota
to control power and for consumption measurement and
self-built Esp32 Wi-Fi cameras are also used (currently
disabled).
I have implemented the usage of the
Telegram
bot API to monitor and control printer and server.
I like Python, taught myself and use Pycharm as an IDE and
GitHub
as a code repository.
Worldwide
... access? No way! Since I'm āstuckā behind a CGNAT with my internet provider and don't get a public IP, I decided to rent a virtual private server from IONOS and redirect my NoIP domain to that VPS. I have added all the necessary devices to a virtual private network from ZeroTier. Via that VPN I have worldwide access to my devices.
Why
... I am doing this? Because I can and
I really want to learn more, to expand knowledge and
understanding of various technical fields and areas and
just for fun.
As a little play on words, I named this
server KobraPi. A 'Kobra X' is my 3rd 3D printer,
the 2nd was a 'Kobra 2+' (before that it was a
'Mega X') from Anycubic, and the printer server is a
Raspberry Pi.
By the way, my nickname is based on a similar play on words
;-)
Want
... to know more about me?
This is a private project, but it's possible to search for
the code and hunt for an Easter egg here!
Maybe you find more information about me, it's no secret.
Good luck and have fun!
Yours sincerely, D3adCow1220

Austria: Dead cow, Cobra needed seven shotsāUproar over poor hit rate
13.Dec 2019
Excitement online because the Austrian Cobra needed several attempts to shoot down a cow. Studies have shown that ānormalā police officers have a hit rate of just 20 percent when using their weapon on duty. However, the fact that members of the Cobra special task force do not appear to be much more accurate is new. They are said to have needed seven shots in Matrei am Brenner to incapacitate an escaped cow. This is being hotly debated on social media, and Cobra is being criticized.
