I Locked Myself Out of PostgreSQL Trying to Make It Secure Building a Secure PostgreSQL Server with Docker & Cloudflare R2 — Part 1
All I wanted was a secure PostgreSQL setup in Docker. Somehow, direct copy-pasting locked me out of my own database. 🥲 What went wrong? And what did I learn from breaking my own setup? This is the story of starting over - but this time, actually understanding what I was building.
How We Brought Automation Back to INOVUS — Building a Tony Stark Style Smart Room with ESP32 & Alexa
Building something is one thing. Making it reliable is real engineering.
It Works on My Machine… But Not on Yours.” Isn’t Docker Supposed to Fix That?
Docker was supposed to solve the classic “It works on my machine.” But what happens when Docker itself becomes the problem? A weekend@inovus session turned into hours of Docker troubleshooting, accidental container deletion, permission issues, Discord music bot chaos, and huge learning experience.
From Local Servers to Remote Access — Our Next Step
What started as local old-PC servers soon turned into trying remote access, SSH shortcuts, Tailscale, and random networking experiments — breaking things, fixing them, and slowly making our DIY servers accessible from anywhere.
How Curiosity Turned Old PCs Into Servers
What started as random junk PCs lying around at INOVUS slowly turned into self-hosted Linux servers. This is the story of how curiosity, broken systems, endless errors, and experiments taught us networking, Linux, SSH, self-hosting, and the joy of learning by simply trying things out.
The Acutally Boom -
Our ESP32 experiments started simple—just sending messages and blinking LEDs. But things got wild when curiosity pushed us to test capacitors with 240V! Read Part 1 for the full story: The Day We Almost Blew the Building Up (Well, Sort of)Sometimes, the simplest ideas take the most unexpected turns. This is the story of how a simple curiosity to test out ESP32s led us to blasting a capacitor Inspired by our favorite YouTuber who made a capacitor pop with a 120V, we thought, “Why not do somethin
The Day We Almost Blew the Building Up (Well, Sort of)
Sometimes, the simplest ideas take the most unexpected turns. This is the story of how a simple curiosity to test out ESP32s led us to blasting a capacitor Inspired by our favorite YouTuber who made a capacitor pop with a 120V, we thought, "Why not do something bigger & crazier? Using 240V instead"
Our Arduino Mining Adventure: How We Earned ₹1!
Our Arduino Mining Adventure: How We Earned ₹1! So one day, while having one of those deep talks about crypto and mining, we got pretty intrigued by the idea of trying it ourselves. The concept of mining—solving complex problems to validate transactions and earn rewards—sounded thrilling. The only problem? None of us had a high-end PC to throw into the fire. We barely had our own laptops to work with. Risking them for mining? Nah, not happening. But then, a few days later, Badhusha (the tech w
