Where is the study in the US using record-level data showing that kids who are fully vaccinated die less? According to AI, no such study exists. Vaccine mandates are all based on belief, not science.
willhschmid··on Many hells of WebDAV
Why is it a nightmare? I use WebDAV almost every day. All my online servers support it, and it makes it super easy for me to map them as a file system driver in Windows, allowing me to edit files directly on the server.

Fingerprint Collection Failed

Yay, I am safe. I use Brave. Everyone should use Brave.

willhschmid··on Building a Low-Cost IoT Edge Node with ESP32: Lessons from Real Deployments
If you are using ESP32, I recommend exploring Xedge32, as it simplifies the design of secure MQTT edge solutions. The following tutorials list includes several MQTT projects: https://realtimelogic.com/xedge32-tutorials/ And don't forget to read how horrible MQTT can be if you do not set it up correctly: https://realtimelogic.com/articles/How-Hackers-Can-Easily-Pe...
willhschmid··on Web-Based Remote Garage Door Controller
This DIY DoorController project provides a web-based solution for controlling a garage door remotely. It includes a minimally invasive design with a magnetic reed switch for detecting door states and an NPN transistor for simulating button presses on a generic garage door remote. The software runs on the Xedge32 platform, offering a web interface that can be added to mobile home screens for app-like functionality. The project also supports email logging by configuring SMTP settings and emphasizes security with password protection.
willhschmid··on MQTT turns 25
MQTT does have its nuances, and diving into the specifications is sometimes required to grasp all the options fully. That said, for most cases, simply focusing on the API for the library you're using should suffice. It sounds like the real issue you're facing is more with the library than the protocol itself.

If you're open to using Lua, you might find this client library more straightforward: https://realtimelogic.com/ba/doc/en/lua/MQTT.html. It’s designed to be simple to use and works with the BAS runtime, which supports many platforms, including microcontrollers like the ESP32: https://realtimelogic.com/downloads/bas/ESP32/

willhschmid··on Hackers Can Easily Penetrate Your MQTT Solution
Think your MQTT solution is safe, even with authentication, including mTLS? Well, think again! Here's a step-by-step guide on how hackers can exploit MQTT solutions, even when credentials are in place. This tutorial includes ready-to-run MQTT exploit code.
willhschmid··on How to run MySQL queries on an ESP32 microcontroller
Instead of pushing data via MQTT, an ESP32 can directly interact with a MySQL instance using a MySQL network driver.

Do you think MQTT is just for Telemetry data? Think again. Dive into this guide and learn how to turn your ESP32-CAM into a dynamic live-streaming sensation.
willhschmid··on ESP32 NodeMCU alternative for enterprise projects
While NodeMCU has been a go-to option for hobbyists diving into embedded systems using Lua, Xedge32 takes it a step further by catering to both professionals and hobbyists alike. Xedge32 is specifically designed for the ESP32 and offers a robust set of features and protocols that make it suitable for both simple and complex enterprise-level projects.
willhschmid··on Control Your Raspberry Pi with Lua
Learn how to use the Lua programming language to program Internet of Things (IoT) devices and interact with General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins on a Raspberry Pi.
willhschmid··on Lua powered owl with blinking eyes and servo-controlled head
This owl, with its blinking eyes and servo-controlled head, is powered by Lua using the Barracuda App Server. The software runs on an ESP32, which includes a Lua REPL called the LSP Application Manager that is based on the Barracuda App Server.
