Okay, I think this thing is ready-enough to tell people about it.

I made a #BBS to watch aircraft near #YUL ( #Montreal airport), through my home #ADSB antenna setup. It's a #Swift NIO based app that runs on a #RaspberryPi (3) in my office network closet, so please play nicely.

SSH (or telnet): yulbbs.via.sc

Near #CYUL , it broadcasts on #Meshtastic (unencrypted channels: `yul-traffic` + `yul-alerts`), but also at: @yultraffic and @yulalerts .

(*BBS: æsthetic-wise, at least; no messaging)

The yulbbs about screen. It reads:

YULBBS is powered by ADS-BBS
(a pun on the ADS-B system that provides data)

ssh (or telnet): yulbbs.via.sc

It uses Swift, NIO, swift-nio-ssh, and dump1080 on the backend.
The antenna is near CYUL, in Dorval, Quebec, a borough of Montreal.
The whole thing runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 in my office networking closet.
Aircraft data comes from the air, not from the net. Be nice.

(Yes, I know that it's not a BBS. BBSs have messaging. That's the point.
This *does* try to capture the BBS æsthetic, though. It's just for fun.) — The yulbbs about screen.

A screen shot of the “ANSI”/BBS style UI. The main “list” view of air traffic near YUL. It contains a list of featured aircraft, a chart of arrivals/departures, recent activity, and some stats.

The map view, which uses Unicode Braille characters. One plane is departing, another is arriving, and a third is not currently heuristically engaged with the airport but it’s nearby.

What You Really Thought Your Kid Was Doing Upstairs with his Amiga!

In my imagination, he was upstairs on his Amiga doing homework. Quiet. Focused. An angel.

Reality? The modem screamed after midnight, the floppy drive kept clicking, a handle was online, a board was connected, and a “release” couldn’t wait till morning.

What did you think they were REALLY doing in their room?
