Don't worry - that couch isn't for listening :) I've got a very comfy and intentionally positioned chair on the other side of the room for that.

For now, yes. I'd also like to make a standalone wireless physical volume knob and I may try to make an iPhone app for it. Ideally I'd be able to override the behavior of the volume buttons, similar to how Spotify is able to do th

It is concerning. On this particular model, it's available over plain HTTP, provides no auth settings, and provides an easy input for uploading new firmware. https://jamesbvaughan.com/volume-controller-1/basic-web-

That helps explain why the "volume" as represented on disk in the debug bundle as "attenuation" and was measured in negative dB.

This is a great point! When I'm using AirPlay, that feature is really useful. I'm more often using Spotify Connect though, where I'm limited to either using the physical volume buttons on my phone, the small slider in the des

In this case, I was using the optical out from a WiiM mini into a Yamaha amp. I don't know much about digital audio, but I know that I was able to control the volume of the WiiM's digital output with that setup. On the other hand,

I do something similar. I primarily use a MacBook these days and I really miss how my ThinkPad could open up to 180 degrees while using it laying down on the couch.

I don't know enough about the economics here to know if this plan is viable, and it's a bit light on the details. I'd love to see a website with a more detailed proposal and some example scenarios.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I'm also a happy Lunch Money user and I suspect that other folks in this thread would be interested in it.

I'd like to better understand the intent with that code. What is it trying to achieve that this does not? <a class="box ingredient-box clickable nounderline" href="/recipe/refried-beans"&

I just took a look on my machine and the images are all loading in Firefox. If they're still not loading for you, would you mind sharing more info? Are you just getting 404s?

Yeah, if this were something that I wanted to leave running for more than the duration of a flight, I'd reach for cron, but a bash one-liner was perfect for this use-case!

Considering how delayed that flight was, I'd have loved to be able to PATCH the `dist_remain` field.

I used chart.js [0], but I don't necessarily endorse it - it's just what I knew how to use quickly. I usually try to keep my posts free from javascript, and could have used a different tool that gives me SVG data or images. You ca

Yep, that's exactly right! They have a nice status page that you can visit free of charge that visualizes this data. I chose to scrape it for a couple reasons: 1. I wanted see all of the data for the entire flight - that status page on

No permission - just curiosity :) I'm not too concerned about the risk associated with fetching a JSON file that their flight status page is already fetching on a loop. That said, I'm curious what risks you have in mind.

This is cool - thanks for sharing

That is the flight. This is a cool idea - I wish I had thought of it!
56.
by jamesbvaughan 3y ago
That makes sense. One reason I think it could be MPH despite that is because some of the other data seems like it's been processed so that it doesn't need to be transformed any further on the client side before using it in the UI,

by jamesbvaughan 3y ago
That's cool! I had wanted to make something similar, but I didn't have enough experience with making TUIs to build it without using the internet for reference during the flight. I'm glad to that it's been done though!

I felt similar! My best guess is that whoever designed this system preferred to transform the time into a localized (based on the flight's location, I guess?) representation on the server so that they could drop it directly into the we

Good catch! I'm not very familiar with knots - what specifically makes the speeds here look like knots to you? edit: Updated the article. Thanks!
