PPG.report now works globally
Thank you u/aeharding !!! I use ppg.report regularly -- you can Sponsor/support Alexander and his hard work here: https://github.com/sponsors/aeharding
-
Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
https://ppg.report
Shows a nicely formatted weather report for flying my paramotor, pulling data in from many different sources :-)
-
Flying in Restricted Airspace - You can do it! [US]
Why use it when you have Windy.com and Windy.app and ppg.report and aviationweather.gov ?
-
Best weather app?
Yep I like ppg.report for quick no fluff wind speeds at different altitudes. When I just want to basics standing in the field or driving to an LZ, Windy is for large screen analyses at home days beforehand.
-
Can we share the apps we all using for Paramotoring?
PPG.report (web) - I have it as an Icon on my iPhone for quick access to the NOAA GFS model data, which gives you 24 hours of wind predictions at different altitudes. It is not always accurate, but it IS predicting a solid 20 km square. I prefer this now over RyanCarlton.com because there are weather forecasts and airspace restrictions built in. It's very pretty too! I think Alexander Harding lurks in here. You can see and view the code for the website too. You can donate to Alexander's work on Github as well.

State of CSS
So excited for colors outside of sRGB! I make good use of display-p3, currently only supported in Safari, on https://ppg.report.

Ask HN: What not-profit-seeking project are you tinkering with this week?
https://ppg.report
Flying my paramotor is one of the things I love to do in my free time, and this project (weather report for paramotor pilots) is the result of that!
Also open source https://github.com/aeharding/ppg.report

Dropping the Windy App...Need another app to check for conditions
I like ppg.report, but I always thought it was just a re-skined version of wind.ppgzone.com
-
How much updraft velocity is too much for a newer pilot?
https://ppg.report/ and RyanCarlton.com show you CAPE and CIN.
-
Where can I get the current local aviation forecast in my area? Especially cloud base? Thanks.
It only works if your location is within 30 miles of an airport. In which case you will see a little widget in the header, as seen here: https://github.com/aeharding/ppg.report/releases/tag/v2.1.0

Mblaze â Unix utilities to deal with Maildir
I'm so close to being a full-time mblaze user, it is truly excellent. There is something so smart about being able to use your standard shell tooling and interaction facilities to interact with mail. It is like everything that was a good idea with mhš/nmh decades ago, just better all round and with a nicer message format.
Even if you don't like the idea of using command line tools as your MUA, you can easily make mblaze interactive with common tooling. For example, you could use mlist via fzf along with its --preview window as pretty awesome interactive client. Everything works as you'd expect, and you have all the power of every single tool you use to mangle that mail at any point.
I just seem to fall back in to mutt too easily in the end, I can't get over the final hump. I've even implemented a chunk of mimicry bindings so that I shouldn't even notice, but mutt pulls me back in for "that one minor feature" every now and then. I've been doing this dance for at least a few years at this point², but I think it may be longer.

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
I combined mblaze (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze), fzf and standard UNIX tools to build my own CLI MUA in under 300 lines, most of which is shell scripts.
When UNIX is your platform you don't need a complex UI framework with thousands or millions of lines of codes, and you get to reuse knowledge you've already built elsewhere.
I need to write more about it

Burgr â Books in Your Terminal
If you like Himalaya, you'll probably like mblaze as well (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze)
I also find fzf to be very good for building simple UIs. In fact I saw ways to do 80% of burgr with a few lines of fzf; composable tools really are the bee's knees

Ask HN: What services/apps are you self-hosting?
I selfâhost mostly because local copies of things give me some privacy (sites wonât know what my IP is searching for), and it also lets me work easily when Comcast is down⌠which is annoyingly frequent in my neighborhood.
All of these machines are running OpenBSD, except the gaming machines and the HTPC.
⢠Outgoing Email: OpenSMTPD, with mandatory TLS. Since Iâm the only one sending email from my domain, the outgoing relay is hidden behind my LAN and my DKIM keys never leave my network. Outgoing mail gets routed via Wireguard through a VPS so it doesnât look like itâs coming from a residential IP block.
⢠Incoming Email: OpenSMTPD on my MXes, with MTAâSTS and DNSSEC/DANE so as many senders use TLS as possible. Delivers to Maildir on my LAN, which I access directly using mblaze over SSH (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze) and IMAP via Dovecot (which supports Maildir backend).
⢠Roundcube webmail.
⢠DNS zones: NSD running on two VPSes, slaves pulling their config via WireGuard from the master which runs in a VM on my LAN.
⢠Public webserver, with personal (public) homepage, Git repositories (clonable and browsable via CGit), photo gallery, files/images/random files when I need to share them by sending a link in IRC, etc.
⢠Matrix: Synapse for the server, Element for the client. Besides hanging out in Matrix rooms I use this for oneâonâone audio calls with my friends (generate a link, send it to them, and chat through the browser).
⢠Pleroma, so I can interact with the Mastodon network.
⢠Apertium for text translation. The range of languages is a bit limited but for supported pairs itâs nice to avoid Google Translate.
⢠A home theater PC in my living room running Kodi, which pulls all my BluâRays from a home NAS.
⢠A powerful gaming machine that uses Steam to stream games to either the HTPC or my Steam Deck. I only use this at home⌠I wonder how bad the latency would be if I connected to it when on a trip?
⢠My music collection, whether ripped from CD or bought digitally, is automatically tagged and sorted with Beets, and I run the web plugin to access it over the web. Beetsâs web interface is kind of primitive; I would love to replace it with something like FunkWhale.
⢠Full mirrors of websites with free content: Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, Stack Overflow, Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks
⢠Full OpenBSD package mirrors
⢠OpenStreetMap, running OSRM (routing) on top of an open source Leaflet/Mapbox demo I set up years ago. Iâve been meaning to update this to something more modern and less reliant on Mapbox software.
⢠Radicale for CalDAV/CardDAV, so my calendar and contacts are synced across all my devices automatically.
⢠Home adblocking with Unbound (what most people use PiHole for I guess). DNS lookups for my home network are anonymized with DoH over Tor (CloudFlare provides documentation for how to do this).
⢠Ways to access my home network when away from home: WireGuard VPN in a roadwarrior configuration; publicâfacing SSH (with WebAuthnâbacked keys); failing that, an HTTPS proxy with Squid. (Yes, I have been stuck at conferences where the wifi network blocked SSH, WireGuard, and all traffic that wasnât HTTP/HTTPS or DNS from the blessed server!)

Meli â email client in the terminal, in the spirit of mutt
You're probably looking for notmuch, which integrates very well with other tools. There's also mblaze (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze) that might be of interest.

Suckless Modular E-mail Tools?
For parsing mails in the shell mblaze can be nice sometimes: https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze

Best terminal mail client
mblaze is nice once you get used to it. Pretty neat how you can compose simple pipelines interactively or just using simple scripts for repetitive tasks.

A Minimal Email Client
Aerc looks amazing, but I am still waiting for threading support before making the jump [1]. To the best of my knowledge, it supports everything else I would need.
[1]: https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/94
My current stack is: Mutt, Neovim, fdm, msmtp, Syncthing, notmuch, lynx (for HTML conversion), mblaze [2] (for scripting), and a tiny pair of scripts to snooze and unsnooze e-mails. Here is an interesting observation, although a pipeline like this may look terrifying, it makes swapping in Aerc to take it for a spin trivial since it all interacts with a Maildir.
