I forgot default. I never selected it and it activated on its own.

I just found out about this on mobile firefox must be quite new too. That default opt in is really disgusting.

We will not vote because it would go against the proposal.

Sounds like a way to avoid setting a precedent or a historic record to me.

German: Komm wir essen Opa! Komm wir essen, Opa!

English: Come we are eating grandpa. Come we are eating, grandpa.

I don’t think the promise chain is really needed here.

I used this script:

import Axios from 'axios'
import OldFS from 'fs'
import { PromiseChain } from '@feather-ink/ts-utils'

const fs = OldFS.promises

const image = process.argv[2]
const destination = `http://${process.argv[3]}/vfs/ota`
const now = process.argv[4] === 'now'
const once = process.argv[4] === 'once'

async function triggerUpdate(): Promise<void> {
  console.log('Uploading new binary')
  const file = await fs.readFile(image)

  await Axios({
    method: 'POST',
    url: destination,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
      'Content-Length': file.byteLength
    },
    data: file
  })
  console.log('Finished uploading')
}

(async () => {
  const updateChain = new PromiseChain()
  console.log(`Watching file '${image}' for changes\nWill upload to '${destination}'!`)
  if (once) {
    await triggerUpdate()
    return
  }
  if (now)
    await updateChain.enqueue(triggerUpdate)
  OldFS.watch(image, async (eventType) => {
    if (eventType !== 'change')
      return
    let succ = false
    do {
      try {
        console.log('Change detected')
        await updateChain.enqueue(triggerUpdate)
        succ = true
      } catch (e) {
        console.error(e)
        console.log('Retrying upload')
      }
    } while (!succ)
    console.log('Upload finished')
  })
})()

Relevent code on the esp:

You can ignore my cpp stuff and just put this in the handler of the stock webserver.

auto ota = vfs->addHandler(makeDirectory("ota"));
        {
          ota->addHandler(makeDirect([](auto &con) {
            if (con.req->method != HTTP_POST)
              return HandlerReturn::UNHANDLED;

            // https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/system/ota/native_ota_example/main
            // https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/system/ota.html
            auto updatePartition = esp_ota_get_next_update_partition(nullptr);
            if (updatePartition == nullptr)
              return sendError(con,500, "No free ota partition found!");
            esp_ota_handle_t otaHandle;
            auto err = esp_ota_begin(updatePartition, con.req->content_len, &otaHandle);
            if (err != ESP_OK)
              return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"Can't start ota update: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);

            int receivedBytes = 0;
            do {
              auto end = httpd_req_recv(con.req, buf.data(), buf.size());
              // ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Received %d", receivedBytes);
              // hexDump("RECV:", buf.data(), end);
              if (end <= 0) {
                esp_ota_abort(otaHandle);
                return sendError(con, 500, "Error receiving", true);
              }
              err = esp_ota_write(otaHandle, buf.data(), end);
              if (err != ESP_OK) {
                esp_ota_abort(otaHandle);
                return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"Error writing: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);
              }
              receivedBytes += end;
            } while (receivedBytes < con.req->content_len);

            err = esp_ota_end(otaHandle);
            if (err != ESP_OK)
              return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"Failed to end: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);

            err = esp_ota_set_boot_partition(updatePartition);
            if (err != ESP_OK)
              return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"esp_ota_set_boot_partition failed: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);
            auto ret = sendOK(con);
            FactoryResetServiceCon().reboot(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
            return ret;
          }));
        }

I also used a custom partition table for 2 partitions so that when my program crashes it can just go back to boot the previous version.

Here it is for reference:

partitions.csv

# Name,   Type, SubType, Offset,  Size, Flags
# Note: if you change the phy_init or app partition offset, make sure to change the offset in Kconfig.projbuild
nvs,      data, nvs,     0x011000, 0x006000,
otadata,  data, ota,     0x017000, 0x002000,
phy_init, data, phy,     0x019000, 0x001000,
ota_0,    app,  ota_0,   0x020000, 0x1F0000,
ota_1,    app,  ota_1,   0x210000, 0x1F0000,

Note: This partition table is for a special model of the ESP32 though.

Also another disclaimer: This code does not represent my current coding abilities and may be outdated - it worked well though.

Hahahah. Awesome. Have fun! You just need a simple webserver. The builtin one will do and then you use the ota functions of the ESP IDF.

Back in school my friends all flashed their mcus with 4-8MB images over serial with 115200 baud. I set up ota updates over wifi. They were all fascinated by my speedy flashes. However when I offered to help them set it up, not one was interested because their setup was working as is and slow flashing is not a “bad” thing since it gave them an excuse to do other things.

We are talking minutes vs seconds here.

The teachers were surprised by my quick progress and iterations. When I told them my “trick” the gave me bonus points but also were not interested in learning how to do ota which was very easy. A simple 20 minute first time setup would have saved sooo much time during the year.

Very interesting. I hope this passes as an actual Standart. I looked around but couldn’t find information on how to enable it in the Webbrowser. It just says firefox is not supported.

Nevermind I found the extension will try it again.

I would love a if there was a standard websites would use to receive donations. An integrated browser addon that track what you visit and gives you a review before distributing funds after each month would be great. It should accumulate money to avoid transaction fees for tiny amounts.

Done but I felt lots of questions to be very similar. Maybe there is a form platform that can show only a subset of control questions for every survey.

Thanks for the link. I just setup joplin and joplin server.

I migrated all my old samsung notes to joplin.

Sadly I still can’t replace OneNote. There is no open source alternative for an infinite canvas with proper custom server based sync that helps to resolve conflicts. Logseq looks pretty good but the server sync implementation is not open source.

Also it seems like every one note version is good at some task or has access to formatting/organization options that others can only view.

I wish there was an open source solution in a similar manner to immich (quality and organization) wise.

Ähm. So your not gonna like this but I just connect with vscode remote-ssh and drag’n drop em from the os file explorer into the vscode one.

So long story short scp I guess.
