A friend of mine asked for help expanding an image recognition system he is implementing at work. The Roboflow pipeline analyzes images of open trucks and tags all visible cargo with the appropriate label and dimensions.
The goal was to extend the output to display the percentage of the truck’s maximum capacity being used. To achieve this, I integrated a custom Python script into the existing pipeline.
I grew tired of unlocking my phone and starting a timer every time I brewed tea. Running a simple shell script is far more convenient, and writing it also gave me a chance to refresh my dulled shell scripting skills.
I started having issues with my an existing OpenVPN tunnel after setting up a new MikroTik router in my home network.
The symptoms were strange: I could resolve addresses through DNS, ping all hosts on the network, and access HTTP sites without issues. However, when I tried to SSH into any machine or access HTTPS services, the connection would time out.
