In plain words
Wa-tunnel is a TCP port tunneling tool that routes internet traffic through WhatsApp messages. It's designed for users on restricted networks, such as airplane WiFi or carrier plans that only allow unlimited access to social media apps. By leveraging WhatsApp's data allowance, the tool enables internet connectivity in situations where traditional access is blocked or limited. It's available as an open-source project for developers and technical users seeking workarounds on bandwidth-constrained connections.

In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
