I'm not sure I trust science journalists to summarize scientific papers either.
gdevenyi··on Thingino: Open-Source Firmware for IP Cameras
Fascinating comparison of the main page here versus the OpenIPC camera firmware also on the front page.

First thing I want to know is "do I have this hardware".

These guys do it right.

gdevenyi··on Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel
> You’re acting like bcachefs systems are storing Critical Data That Absolutely Cannot Be Lost.

It is to the user storing it.

> Homeschooling: where someone unqualified to teach every subject toughs through it and there are absolutely no standards

And if my wife and I are teachers? With postdoctoral degrees?

> > School choice: How we get taxpayers to pay for your kid's private and/or religious education

Seems a little more fair than the current state where I pay both taxes for public school and tuition for a private school. You do know that there's lots of non-religious people who want to take an active role in their children's education?

> > I'm okay with 1 if you admit that you can't teach your kids every subject, and get help where you can, but 2 is unacceptable.

I deny you. On both points.

This write up sounds very interesting, until you go any try to set things up, and find you're forced to approve something from a predetermined list pushed by YouTube. No thanks. I'll download videos and play them with VLC locally.

gdevenyi··on Fly To Podman: a script that will help you to migrate from Docker
I can't use podman until they start releasing up to date packages for all systems I use.

Have they started releasing packages yet?

gdevenyi··on DeepSeek v2.5 – open-source LLM comparable to GPT-4, but 95% less expensive
What does open source mean here? Where's the code? The weights?

The search worked for me to find a single app I needed when I was setting up a single-use tablet recently, but I haven't used it hugely beyond that. YMMV

Python subprocess is terrible. Until they provide a much smoother interface for running other programs, bash will continue to dominate scripting.
gdevenyi··on Show HN: OpenDataCapture an electronic data capture platform for data collection
> its slow to load

We're using free cloud resources which also host our internal collaboration infra, its definitely underpowered.

> considering this is hospital data

To be clear, our first target audience is research data collection, which is consented, so that's not immediately an issue, however we don't store Personally Identifying Data (PID) in the current design, instead hashing all ID data. Our institution and local laws are very happy with that. We aim for compliance with other statutes going forward.

gdevenyi··on Show HN: OpenDataCapture an electronic data capture platform for data collection
Right now, we're building first to address the needs of our institution, there's no FHIR enabled software there, and the clinicians make a direct request to generate reports for ingestion into their existing EHR system, so we oblige.

Interoperability is on our roadmap.

Meanwhile, we don't consider RedCap a competitor, the old-school LAMP stack is showing its age, and its "closed source" by most interpretations, including a hostile position on external developers.

We welcome contributions to accelerate FHIR support.

> I like the gateway concept as an alternative to opening the firewall.

Cheers, it was a real revelation when we worked out how to do it!

> Are there any plans to add FHIR compatibility, for integrating with other FHIR systems?

We've definitely looked at such standards and systems but they seem to be targeted towards EHR data exchange and we are explicitly not an EHR. Our target is structuring research and research clinical data. The summary tool at the end of each instrument is designed to produce reports which can be fed into classic digital paper style EHRs where real clinical record keeping is required.

gdevenyi··on Show HN: OpenDataCapture an electronic data capture platform for data collection
Right now, our team to build and test instruments before importing them into the platform or committing them to the main source.

In general the admin team who would be supporting the deployment of the software.

I'm with an XPS right now and the 4k 13" display it has is wonderful. That's the only thing holding me back from a framework laptop.
