- "... we have been one of a number of law schools who have approached US News over time with concrete suggestions to improve its ranking methodology, to no avail...."

- "...By joining with the other schools that have chosen to withdraw from participation in the US News rankings this year, we hope to increase the chances that the methodology is seriously overhauled..."

So, strictly speaking, they're *NOT* against "evaluation systems", as a whole... They simply want a "better one"!

@mcp_ : as far as I understand, from the article, they are complaining about a _BAD_ "ranking metholodogy" that they tried to improve.... with no success. So, at the end, they simply opted to get out from the (current) evaluation system.

@paulox : it's amazing, for me, to realize that you were conferencing ~10 km away from here, from my home... and I got known about it only now... via mastodon...

I would have been pleased to meet all of you, telling about #GARRLab - www.garrlab.it - and how in GARRLab we strive to adopt/use/disseminate/battle-test F/OSS

Actually, as GDG stands for "Google Developer Groups", it would have been an interesting discussion as... I just fully #degoogled myself, a couple of weeks ago :-)

@gregtatum : the first two the comes to my mind are:

- countly ( https://count.ly ): their analytics solution can be self-hosted, for free ( https://count.ly/community-edition ) or, if you prefer to off-load to them the tech-side, a cloud-based (and payed) solution;

- matomo( https://matomo.org/ ): they provide a self-hosted, GPL-3, solution ( https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo ) as well as a cloud-based solution

...I'm sure there are others, as well

@quinta : se hai una caldaia "relativamente classica", dovrebbe essere semplice [chiudi un contatto => la caldaia accende la fiamma e si attiva; apri il contatto => la caldaia spegne la fiamma]. In molti altri casi, pero' [inclusa la mia Pompa di Calore] non è affatto cosi' scontato e.... tocca trovare sistemi un po' piu' "brutali" (...sui quasi sto ancora lavorando [a bassa priorita']) :-)

@ilgallo : questione di punti di vista.

Dal mio punto di vista, nel 2022 ogni lampadina dovrebbe essere comandata da un microcontrollore che ti dice [quando glielo chiedi], quante volte l'hai accesa, e per quanto tempo. E ti dice quando te la dimentichi accesa. E ti consente di riprogrammare le modalita' di accensione [oggi, dal secondo pulsante della cucina; domani, dal primo pulsante del soggiorno; dopodomani, dall'APP; fra tre giorni... [non lo so ancora...]).

Infine, suggerirei di tenere d'occhio il progetto OpenEnergyMonitor [5]: vedo che include emonTH [6], ossia il componente che monitora temperatura ed umidita' e si interfaccia con il resto dell'infrastruttura (..che puo' includere gli attuatori).

Ribadisco: tutto cio', in un qualsiasi ITS o in un MakerLab... è fattibilissimo.

Una via intermedia potrebbe essere un ProDino Wifi-ESP [4], che arriva gia' in un case DIN... ma manca di sensore temperatura (che quindi andrebbe aggiunto).

Se sara' a batteria, consiglio anche l'approfondimento "energetico": se si vuole che la batteria duri _TANTO_, occorre prestare attenzione. E il buon Andreas Spiess... lo dice chiaramente (e, a differenza di tanti altri, anche _CONCRETAMENTE_):

@quinta : lo spirito "hacker/maker", mi porterebbe ad implementarlo con un ESP32 [1] (in modo da averlo "wifi nativo") a cui aggiungere un DHT-22 [2] (sensore digitale di temperatura e umidita'), un relay [3] (per attivare/disattivare il dispositivo collegato) ed il rispettivo "case" (da progettare e stampare 3D). Serve, chiaramente, anche la parte "power" (batterie - immagino 2AA e relativo hardware di gestione).

After reading mentioned blog post, my feeling is that "Traefik Proxy" natively targets cloud-environments (and is marginally looking down, towards HTTPS servers) while "Caddy" natively target HTTPS-servers (and is looking up, towards cloud-native environments).

Anyway, they surely are two great products! Thanks for sharing!

@fsfe - Currently, when dealing with docker environments, I rely on Traefik Proxy ( https://traefik.io/traefik/ - MIT License ). It follows a similar approach (being based on autodiscovery, via container "labels"), but it does *NOT* requires static files management (edit/reload), and it's *NOT* tightly coupled with the docker-host (I'm oversimplyfing, here. I know...).

I'm planning to release everything under open-source license (GPL) but... still have to find time to "package" the whole stuff and push it to GitHub/GitLab....

@tomdeb : that looks *VERY* interesting. It's based on the Raspberry platform, that I'm sure you know and will be easily put 100% "under control" by you. I see that the project is *VERY* active ( https://cutt.ly/HkZElxG ) and you have all you need to get deeper: it's only a matter of... time :-) [ but I'm sure you can cut, like me, some more "sleep time" ] 🙂

BTW: I prefer real micros to RPIs: they're cheaper and require less power. But in your case, it's a detail: go forward with RPI!
