Dominique Leuenberger: openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/44
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Despite the week being one hour shorter (as a reminder: Europe switched from summer time to winter time on Oct 30), the maintainers and contributors went beyond and still delivered 7 snapshots (1028…1103). The staging projects have been nicely balanced and performance seems good. Unless the requests cause breakages, they are still going through the process rather quickly.

Keep your packages safe with Clem Mayer’s secure parcel pickup box | Arduino Blog
As a part of his business, element14 Presents’ Clem Mayer sells physical goods online and has people retrieve them near his house. But for the times he is not able to be home, Mayer was inspired by his post office’s pickup lockboxes to create his own version that could be accessed with just a code at any time.
Because this parcel container would be outside and exposed to the elements, Mayer went with a sturdy electronics cabinet that is IP66 rated and made entirely from metal. Initially, he was thinking of a system that would require users to scan a QR code on the box, go to a website, and then enter the code to gain access. However, the complex nature and network connectivity led him towards a much simpler solution instead- just enter the digits on a physical keypad. This way, a single code could be set in the Arduino Leonardo’s EEPROM and then compared each time a total of six digits are selected.

The FreeBSD Journal is still Free!
In January 2019, the FreeBSD Journal moved away from a subscription model, and we’ve been proud to offer it as a free publication ever since. We’ve hoped to raise awareness of FreeBSD throughout the world by making the voice of the FreeBSD community as accessible as possible.
Issues are published on a bi-monthly schedule and can be found on the Foundation’s website. You can also find past issues, details on becoming involved, and information about the editorial and advisory boards. Article ideas are always welcome and are a fantastic way to give back to the FreeBSD community.
