Project mention: My Toddler Loves Planes, So I Built Her a Radar | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-27This is cool in concept, but FlightRadar24 has a built-in Augmented Reality feature that works really well.

Also, if I were to build my own local copy, I'd use an RTLSDR to get the ADSB packets direct and base my app on tar1090. https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090
ADS-B is a protocol used by aircrafts to broadcast their position, altitude, speed, and other information. Nowadays, the majority of aircrafts broadcast ADS-B messages constantly. Anyone with the right equipment can listen to these messages. You can buy a relatively cheap USB dongle with an antenna on Amazon and install drivers for it on Linux. In my case I used usbipd-win to mount the USB device inside Ubuntu running in WSL2. Then I installed the Linux drivers and dump1090, a program that makes use of these drivers and then outputs ADS-B messages in a format that is easy to parse. While you can use dump1090 to display a neat table full of information about aircrafts, I wanted to use its raw output capabilities to parse ADS-B messages myself. It starts a simple TCP server that outputs raw ADS-B messages wrapped in Mode-S Beast frames. I'm not sure what Beast means, but I found something that looks like its spec here.
Project mention: IQTLabs/SkyScan: Automatically photograph planes that fly by | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-25
I use this technique in a few of my projects:
https://reversedns.space/ (a map of the Internet) - Morton curve is used as a visualization tool;
https://adsb.exposed/ (a visualizer of air traffic) - Morton curve is used as a database index;
Both projects are open-source, so you can find how exactly it is applied: https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/blob/main/setup.s...
For those interested in a good writeup on the subject, this explains alot of why Air Travel is vulnerable:

Project mention: Remembering what flying was like fifty years ago | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-04I’m just here to plug my buddy John’s homebuilt/exerimentatal/open-source HUD, primarily intended for VFR use as an ADS-B traffic display.

Project mention: Alternative to fr24 / radarbox to set up notifications/alerts for specific geografic area | /r/ADSB | 2023-07-05Thank you - i will have a look. Theres an script which "translates" data from abdsexchange api to the required "cot" file(s) which CivATAK needs. https://github.com/snstac/adsbxcot
