  • iodine

    Official git repo for iodine dns tunnel

  • I've noticed that airline wifi doesn't block DNS traffic. You can likely accomplish the same thing with a DNS tunnel like Iodine (https://github.com/yarrick/iodine).

  • OuterFlightTracker

    A flight tracker made in 6 hours on a flight home from OuterNet

  • Thats funny, I discovered the same thing a few months ago and built a CLI flight tracker[1] that uses the API. I've tried it across a couple of airlines and it worked almost perfectly across all of them, because they were all using the same in flight ISP.

  • I used chart.js [0], but I don't necessarily endorse it - it's just what I knew how to use quickly. I usually try to keep my posts free from javascript, and could have used a different tool that gives me SVG data or images.

    You can see the code that's generating these charts here: https://github.com/jamesbvaughan/jamesbvaughan.com/blob/main...
