Great question! This was quite straightforward to code ’manually’, but we got stuck for some hours when trying to send the first message. CPU topped, fans spinning, no message through. Analyzed, and after a while when we got same block the

Ok got you. Good point, added to repo README

We had to rewrite the main system so those who are not into code and tech much could run it more easily. They are used to MarineTraffic and VesselFinder web sites. This is tailor made for them, check loitering, export CSV. Main system is no

It’s early version yes. It’s 70% Fortran, next version more Fortran and we will add x86-64 assembly decoder for AT Proto firehose frames

Great points! This is experimental, We need to address MEMS vs mechanical gyro noise profile Gain constants in the nav kernel were tuned empirically for the original sensor suite. Then we got SEU yes :) noted, though flying at 30m AGL as th

:) A hybrid war going on in the Baltic region. Women involved too We have been running the main system a year. Loads of data, less women Now there is this light version for the hobbyists, onboarding tricky for some users, but README covers

Cobolsky holds the record for most surprised looks per line of code :) Fortransky benchmarks pending the feed scorer will have real numbers worth reporting Whenever time allows in future: Fortran vs Go vs Python

Great comment! Thanks! No CODASYL, the JSON parser is hand-rolled Fortran with a depth-tracking key scanner CODASYL not a crazy direction for the feed composer Got more depth to explore here, still early :)

COBOL is more painful, Fortran better. Good you raised the topic, can write a blog post on it when we ship Cobolsky. Will be a proof of concept repo. Fortransky is the one (If AT Proto did fixed-width records instead of JSON, COBOL would be

:) We tried Abacus Fortran on the C64 back in the days and were allowed to stay indoors during breaks doing Basic stuff too on school computer. One of the guys wrote 8xxROM some 10 years later. Today known as U−Boot :)

Thanks for the feedback! We got a spec for Assemblersky. Will be a weekend project. Cancel Easter :) And probably Midsummer too… We got image composer and decoder plugged in in dev env, but will let this first open version breathe first. AS

From head of README “ Free, open source, runs locally. No cloud, no subscription beyond a free AISStream API key.” I mean we don’t have the vessels floating around live locally inside machine :) Gotta get the AIS messages from somewhere

Good! Tried to do onboarding guide as proper as possible with the scripts and for different OSs. Many OSINT hobbyists/enthusiasts out there, but not all of them are familiar with installing dependencies/launching Python etc It tak

You got an aisstream.io key and set it before launching? Check the README.You can hard code it in shadow_tracker.py too Bedtime in Sweden. Back tomorrow if you need support.

Good reminder to dig around. Will check. We picked up the Fortran manual and just went for it. The original Manual exists as a PDF. Was it in a Stuttgart uni URL? Just a search away. Late in Sweden, gotta Fortran tomorrow. Happy to continue

Don’t know if people are building GitHub-like systems, offline-first app sync etc Many devs reuse schema and write some twitter/bsky clone Kind of search engine for my Blueaky likes Gotta get off the timeline, germ has a messaging app
