    It’s 2026 and I’m running a #BBS like it’s 1991.

    (I’ve mentioned #yulbbs on here before, but I finally made some time to write about it with a bit more detail.)

    I use #Swift NIO-SSH in a weird way, but… I think #yulbbs was still vulnerable.

    *ahem*
    ```
    - .package(url: "github.com/apple/swift-nio-ssh", from: "0.9.0"),
    + .package(url: "github.com/apple/swift-nio-ssh", from: "0.14.1"),
    ```

    …even the toys need maintenance…

    `ssh yulbbs.via.sc` (I really need to write about this thing.)

    Today in ADS-B: hot air balloon!

    #yulbbs picked this up; a lot of ADS-B aircraft types are misconfigured, but this one is moving slowly and drifting like a balloon. Fun. scoat.es/@yulalerts/1168503455

    The second of the CF-18s leaving CYUL for today's Alouettes game flyover (edit: they were here for last night's game—home opener). #Montreal

    You can see them WAY before you can hear them. Also: moving too fast to get my fingers out of the way, I guess.

    It makes sense, but pretty bummed that they don't broadcast ADS-B; #yulbbs (`ssh yulbbs.via.sc`) didn't pick them up

    Made a couple changes to #adsbbs (and thus #yulbbs ) to:

    - @yulalerts only on swarms (3+ new) of military aircraft, not *all* (tired of seeing exercises from Trenton or transports returning from Europe)
    - alert on A6 (high performance) aircraft type; my real goal here is to know the CF-18s are taking off from CYUL for local exhibition fly-bys before I only hear them and it's too late to see

    These are both impossible to test as a civilian, so 🤞 they work as designed.

    The RPi that runs #yulbbs crashed and wouldn't reconnect early on Thursday (overnight).

    This morning I managed to get it running again by playing Apollo 13 and moving devices between USB busses and gently pushing the power supply/consumption until it would init everything safely.

    Really bummed that I missed the CF-18s/F-16s escorting the passenger jets on Thursday, though.
