Hello, sorry you're right, I misunderstood what Show HN was for.
Apologies for the noise. I'll take this down and come back later. Just wanted to solicit feedback and advice from the group first
Thank you for sharing! I made this one. Had the same problem as the OP, the Google results are full of junk, so I made it just so I had something reliable to use.
You have uBlock Origin or another ad blocker installed, their cookie banner disables scrolling but your ad blocker is blocking the cookie banner (same thing happened to me)
Same here with uBlock on iOS. This happens every now and then, not too often. But when it does, I usually decide the page is probably not worth reading anyway.

...how many?

How many years does the battery last?

Ah.
I guess "2" is the absolute minimum that you could describe as "years".
It's a shame because it does look like an interesting proposition. It might be more compelling if it was "send your ring back to us for recycling - and we'll send you a new one". I doubt the economics would work at this price point though.
Given it's doing nothing when not activated, I would imagine it heavily depends on how often you're using it. Still would be nice to be able to say "1,000 hours of recording" or something like that
Are there any software-oriented licenses in the same spirit as CC BY-NC? I'm aware that it likely wouldn't be a true Open Source license if you completely prohibit commercial use, but I've looked for a license like that in the past and didn't have any luck
The GPL is pretty close and still true Open Source. The GPL is technically closest to CC BY-SA, but the virality of the GPL (or especially the AGPL if you like/trust it, which I don't but that's a longer conversation) has been enforced enough that a lot of companies, especially smaller ones with fewer lawyers are wary of it/try to avoid it, but even a lot of big companies with many lawyers can be very conservative about how they use or don't use GPL software.
But yeah, both FSF and OSI see some commercial use as a freedom a Free/Open Source license should have so if you want a truly non-commercial license both will tell you it is not by definition a Free/Open Source license.
He mentions in an earlier blog post [0] that the audio files are behind Cloudflare already so if Cloudflare did its job so I think the actual bandwidth impact on the origin server should have been pretty limited. Hopefully he'd turned on the option to ignore the query string to avoid the cache being bypassed.
I run a similar audio-heavy site [1] that's reached the front page of HN, also behind Cloudflare - the traffic spiking to terabytes a day is a bit of a shock at first but if everything's configured properly CF works well
Really neat! If you're interested in adding clouds to your basemap I built a service [0] which generates free, almost-live cloudmaps (with alpha channel or precomposited onto a Blue Marble image) as part of my own ISS tracker project
That's really cool! Starred so I can find it later, might be challenging putting it on the esp32 but if there's an easy way to downsize the images then it should be do-able. Thanks!
