- Problem: Wanted a way to easily upload posts to my blog to encourage more frequent posts.
- Solution: Automated CI/CD workflow which takes markdown from my preferred note taking app (obsidian) → push to git → use quartz to take my markdown and transform it into HTML → upon successful build, it is put onto Cloudflare pages
- Once I have written my post on my blog, uploading the post is as easy as a single click with an extension for git which automatically commits and pushes the changes
- Problem: Someone vandalized my front door and there were no cameras to see who may have done it.
- Solution: Mounted camera to the peep hole on my front door and connected it to my Raspberry Pi with software to detect motion and record that motion
- Motion detection and recording is accomplished by a docker container with the open-source software MotionEye running on it
- Secure remote access is accomplished through a VLAN software called ZeroTier which allows my Raspberry Pi and any devices of my choosing to act as if they are all on the same network so I can access the recordings remotely
