@NerdShinobi Can you elaborate what those things are?

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

I need to make improvements to antenna placement, but still cool to have a live feed as seen by my station.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

Finally got the hardware I needed to build an ADS-B ground station. Set it up to feed into ADSBExchange and some other flight tracking services (like FlightAware). Using the live system data I could see a plane was going to fly overhead, looked outside and boom - there it was!

Goodbye, twitter.

@garywhitta I mean, I’m just a dude who lives in your neighborhood - but if you wanna go for a walk around the area or hang out, I’m down. I have a seven week old daughter though, so can’t guarantee I’ll be entirely coherent. Oh - and GunDog is bloody amazing.

@shwood Can I buy you a beer sometime?

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@medus4_cdc @BarackObama I’m still trying to figure out why the former president follows me on here… and am quite glad he does. And hope he does give you a shout out!

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@corg_e oooh! I need one of these. I used to run a bunch of honeypots on my college computer network (with permission - they gave me a /24 of public IPs!)

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@garywhitta Come over to Mastodon! You’ll be welcomed there.

@Grady_Booch @MattWallace888 @elonmusk I’d question whether Twitter really would ever change the world. Especially on the current trajectory. I mean, curing cancer would change the world. Finding a rock for our race to live on when this one finally kicks of us off, same. Twitter, though? Nah.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@medus4_cdc No issues here, yet.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@AccidentalCISO I don't even care if it actually is... it sure is now :)

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@medus4_cdc I heard Elon Musk always overpays for whatever he orders at a restaurant (by many orders of magnitude), then fires the chefs and tells the busser to make it better in the next 4.5 minutes or he's fired too.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@medus4_cdc I heard Elon Musk always parks his tesla straddling two parking spaces (centered on the line between the two) so nobody dings his doors.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@AtmanRising @garywhitta Can confirm, Mastodon does seem pretty nice. Not perfect, but nice.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@Tacoshack27 @RobynAnarchist @garywhitta Which translates to: pay us money and we’ll use even more of your personal information against you in the name of “highly targeted advertising”.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@garywhitta Seems as though there are a few others still about. Oddly though I seem to be getting more ads than actual content the last few days. The fact none of it is relevant to me tells me either Twitter sucks at targeting or I’m doing better than I thought at avoiding tracking.

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@NewsyNick I… have so many questions

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@VirtualBoyd @elchefe There are three Bill & Ted movies :)

[John Whelan @jwhelan]

@CherFeldman I’ve noticed the same thing. Within 24 hours of the deal closing I had multiple spam DMs snd bot activity.
