Hackaday ☛ PCB Renewal Aims To Make Old Boards Useful Again
We’ve all made a few bad PCBs in our time. Sometimes they’re recoverable, and a few bodge wires will make ’em good. Sometimes they’re too far gone and we have to start again. But what if you could take an existing PCB, make a few mods, and turn it into the one you really want? That’s what “PCB Renewal” aims to do, as per the research paper from [Huaishu Peng] and the research group at the University of Maryland.

Digital Camera World ☛ I had no idea Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber was made from a vintage camera flash
According to Chiswick Auctions, Luke's hilt was built from a "1940s Graflex camera, with a 3-cell flash gun" by Roger for just $15 (about $83 / £63 / AU$129 adjused for inflation), only for the Seattle Museum of Pop Culture to dish out a whopping $250,000 ($342,000 / £258,000 / AU$531,000 in today's money) on the legendary prop in 2012.

HowTo Geek ☛ Homelab Dashboard: What It Is and Why You Need One
Do you have a homelab and get tired of running to your Docker host to find your services, or using a bunch of unorganized bookmarks? A dashboard looks nice and pretty, while still being easy to navigate all your self-hosted services.
What Is a Homelab Dashboard?
If you've never heard of a homelab dashboard, then it might actually change how you run your homelab.
In many homelabs, there are a lot of services running on various machines. Even if you only have one computer, you might have multiple virtual machines, each with a unique IP address. Memorizing those IPs, as well as the ports for each service, can be tedious. Bookmarks can help solve this, but they're not all that organized.
