I'd be interested in a frequency counter view, with a running average per minute or per second. So I can record that I see 10 Teslas per minute driving to work in the morning, but only 3 Teslas per minute on the way home at night (for example).

I have a ZeTime that I used on and off for a couple of years. Now it's just sitting on a shelf. It was fine for my purposes at the time, but ended up inheriting an Apple Watch that's a lot more polished. I don't see ever going back to the ZeTime.

If you are interested, I'll let you have it for the cost of postage.

The clock one is really cool, and I don't recall ever seeing it implemented on a website. Who used this?

The last time I took my car in for a (California) smog check, they definitely stuck a sensor up the tailpipe. Also run the engine for fixed duration at several set speeds to get a variety of readings, on a dynomometer (a treadmill, basically) to simulate actual driving speeds.

That's the popular consensus here in LA, it's cheaper to discard the containers than to ship them back empty (and nobody at the receiving end wants enough of what we have to make it worth sending them back full). However I drive through the port area frequently and always see containers stacked well above the 2-high limit. I suppose that means they are not empty containers? There definitely has to be some alternate use for these empty containers. People have tried to build houses with them, but I think one issue preventing widescale implementation of that use is that quite a few of them were originally holding some kind of material that would be hostile to human inhabitants. And living in a metal box in the Southern California summer would not be feasible without expensive air conditioning retrofits.

I'm getting exactly those kind. Russian (I assume) name for the sender, gmail.com email address (From: "Арслан Минаев" <yerusaqe@gmail.com>), .htm attachment with spammy filename (Your Business 01836.htm). Random numbers for the content. Headers indicate DKIM and SPF passed, and it looks for all intents and purposes like a legit gmail email. But it's spam.

How do you get that footprint plot? I'm using dump1090-fa and don't see it

This is very useful for saving off a one-liner .sh file once you've finally gotten the one that you want to work. I will have to remember this!

echo !:q > doagain.sh

I've got that setup right now, but I find that the door on top of two-drawer HON file cabinets is just a bit (about 1.5 inches) too high for a normal office chair, and isn't doing my wrists any favors either. What I really need is a very thin desktop that's just as solid.

I worked at Locus back in the 90s, when this technology was part of the AIX 1.2/1.3 family. The basic architecture allowed for heterogeneous clusters (i386 and i370 -- PC's and IBM Mainframes all running on the same global filesystem.) Pretty sure you couldn't migrate processes to a machine with a different architecture though. It was awesome to be able to "kill -MIGRATE" a long-running make job to somebody else's idle workstation, or use one of the built-in shell primitives to launch a new job on the fastest machine in the cluster "fast make -j 10 gcc".
