DIY Arduino Night Light: Easy Step-by-Step Project

Arduino microcontroller and guides and video tutorials

Time flows, and as it flows, I managed to force myself to make this video tutorial for Arduino. This time the theme is a circuit that turns the night light on or off based on the brightness of the room. This is a nice thing, especially when there are small children in the house, so it is necessary for the light to be turned on at all times. Of course, there is also a modification of this circuit, so that it can be used for, say, street lighting. The positive aspects of such a project can be easily seen and enumerated.

Attempted Fraud or Missed Opportunity?

Cyber security, attempt of online fraud

A few months ago, I had an interesting correspondence with a person via Linkedin, where the person in question “processed” me in order to agree to online cooperation. The proposal was like this: Permission to use my computer remotely, with an assigned IP address, then to allow access to accounts on LinkedIn and Upwork. For my “torment”, I would have a 10% share in what my associate (hereinafter I will call him Gliša) is doing through the Internet. It was freelancing as a developer. I can’t help but wonder, as the title of the text says, is this an attempt at fraud, or a missed business opportunity?

Resetting forgotten Windows password – chntpw

Hacking and cracking windows passwords

I come back with the story again, and this time I go to the dark side … a little. Why the dark side, you ask? Part of my job is to use Windows OS and I can’t escape that. So I consider Windows the dark side because I know there is something better and of course I use that something every day. The other side of the dark side story is about computer ethics, but I had no other way out of the situation. I had to use Linux and the chntpw tool to allow myself access to one of the user accounts on one of computers at work.

By The Way, I Use Arch Linux With Ease!

Arch Linux installation, guides, reviews

It’s been a long time since I became a GNU / Linux user, which I’m proud of! I tried it out of curiosity , and now I can’t imagine everyday life without it. It’s one of those things that gets under your skin and there’s no going back! Profesionally or when they make me I use the other OS, but the love and affection to Linux is stronger than anything. Probably that’s why I write about it and always emphasize it. I’ve used a number of distributions so far, some just a few minutes, while others for years. The distro I use the longest and to whom I like to return after an experiment is ArchLinux, so I can afford to say that famous sentence – By the way, I use Arch Linux!

Retrospective and new manifesto, my comeback

Welcome to all of you who have taken some time to read this text and who will be coming back to read my posts! After a little over 10 years, I decided to start writing again and get my blog back.
