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. | |
