I'm not going to be moving away from Twitter but I am now on Mastodon as well.
You can find me at area51.social/@peter
A few people from here are in the Fediverse as well - it would be good to see who else is.

Yesterday I finally had the #clockworkPi #uConsole delivered so this is the video of me building it.
It's got a #raspberryPi CM4 as it's core & 4G mobile connectivity.

Departure boards are now back.
It looked like something upstream had failed as I was receiving traffic from Network Rail but not from National Rail Enquiries/RDG.
However the NRE feeds started receiving traffic again around 0740 BST

There's an issue with my departureboards where nothing seems to be updating, looks like I'm not receiving anything from upstream.
I'm investigating the issue.

My Autotrack software captures the moment that Starship lost control. Excitement was very much guaranteed. Great first attempt by the SpaceX team!

I was asked if I could create a departure board which you can access from the console using curl, so here it is uktra.in/
e.g. for Maidstone East you can run:
curl uktra.in/mde
Full instructions on the home page
#departureBoards #ukRailway #console
ALT Example of both Linux console and FireFox showing the departure boards for Maidstone East
ALT Example of it running under macOS both in terminal and in Safari. In this example it's showing Swanley
