Ideas

Sometimes one of my ideas coalesces into a nice, well-defined unit. Better to end up here than abandoned in the far corners of my memory.
Outcomes required, but “just for fun” is as valid as any. Feasibility: optional. Inspired by Jacky’s list

Technical

Automatic Docker packaging

Inspired by a David Fowler tweet about lang support for compile to Docker
Tons of prior art. I’ve toyed with Microsoft’s (formerly opensource) Kudu, but plenty of modern approaches like Heroku/Replit/etc
- docker init is closed source and lang support appears limited
- https://github.com/flexstack/new-dockerfile but it’s just lang-specific string templating and no cache volumes :(
What’s the value of this vs webassembly long-term?
- wasm containerd interop looks pretty great these days, maybe turn this into a blog post on lang support?
- could use quasi-esolangs (at least in cloudnative) like R

Web app to search for proactive remediations

Web app analyse Intune diagnostic logs

errors
timeline
convert IDs to names (without Graph?)
upload file or paste link
automatically poll for logs and ingest when received?

LLM and human context to suggest remediations?

Structured microcontroller data

Datasheets suck
Start with pinout search, for identifying unknown chips?
PDF parser, LLM-based? Unsure of volume
Datasheet sources: digikey, manual upload, popular manufacturers?

Cursed highspeed LattePanda Muadapter

Running 3 architectures in one cluster is insane
Could we run Windows amd+arm as well? Surely cloud is more sensible
Quoted 800 USD on fiverr for design, should work my way up I think. maybe something high-speed that’s less expensive

Flex pcb and colour?

Send eBay find to hexf/thomas

Azure BIOS password management service

generate passwords service-side, and fail open. polling is necessary anyway for rotation

function to retrieve secrets from KV or create secrets for new devices
tag secrets with last sync time?
