Evening. I probably should be sleeping, so I'm going to try and
make this entry brief. Besides, this is really just a prep entry
anyways.
As you may already know, September is ROOPHLOCH [1] month, where
we attempt to phlog outside and off grid. Last year didn't happen,
so I felt determined to at least show up for this one. Anyways,
I've had plans to make something like this happen, but I needed to
lay that groundwork. And even with a nice holiday weekend, I still
managed to distract myself until the last minute. At least I did
accomplish some stuff, instead of leaving a wake of unfinished
stuff per usual.
This year, I'm planning on using APRS to phlog using a basic
tailphlogger whipped up in python. Many thanks to M0YNG for the
framework with the APRS to Mastodon script, which I used to start
off. It's by no means complete, and I want to fix some stuff like
sending back ACKs to prevent retransmits, etc instead of the dupe
check, but the handy method I had hoped existed didn't, so I think
some raw text processing will be needed to make it happen. Or
maybe I could roll it into aprslib and submit it upstream. Hmm.
A link to the listings [2] will be below, and if anyone wants to
give it a whirl, please send me a message/irc/whatever on the
zaibatsu if you're there or contact me on ~team and I'll enter
your callsign into the username map and give you the details.
Anyways, it's late. Night.
