@Flightradar24 Ansible playbook
Here’s my very simple Ansible playbook for Flightradar24 nodes. While I run it on EfikaMX, it should work on most Debian based devices. Just be sure to modify the FR24 software download URL. This Ansible playbook is untested on its own. It comes out of a way bigger (private) Ansible playbook, and I kind of…

WiFi SSIDs
HTTPS affects Google Page Rank. Best idea ever. Now read this. This is the effect, of giving a WiFi hotspot (near a window at traffic lights) two additional SSID; by coincidence the same used by the two biggest local ISPs. You can clearly see when I made the change. Edit (07/09/2014):

Raspberry Pi & @Flightradar24
In a couple of lines: how to get FR24 (+ dump1090) to work on your Raspberry Pi. Be sure to have the right hardware: flightradar24.com/dvbt-stick and … obviously … a RPi.

Yard Sale: P2P Wireless (TP-Link WA7510N)
For sale: two TP-Link WA7510N (5Ghz). These devices are about a year old, and served for about 10 months to provide internet from my apartment to a neighbouring building in Antwerp. Because our office moved (all space got rent), internet is no longer required. Right now, I do not have a use-case for these devices…

Yard Sale: GSM signal jammer
Giving away this Chinese GSM signal jammer. Bought it in Shenzhen (summer 2013). While it’s working, the range of this is only about 50cm (and not the advertised 5-10m). This jammer probably doesn’t give you any more cancer than staying next to a cell tower. Fun thing to play with, but I do not have…

Yard Sale: WiFi adapters
Another day, another Yard Sale. I’m selling about 100 DWA-160 D-Link USB WiFi adapters (Atheros). These are compatible with Raspberry Pi and do not require an external power source. And are obviously compatible with Linux (firmware-linux-free). Some of these adapters are new, others are used. Two different generation mixed (see the WPS button in the picture). These adapters can be…
