A pattern that's emerging on my #TheTraitors dashboard - a lot of people are voting once for someone then moving onto someone else. Check the history here (contains spoilers up to and including ep 7) play.grafana.org/d/siqtdwm/th...

Reminder that the next episode of the UK #TheTraitors is tomorrow, Wed 14th at 8pm on BBC1/iPlayer. Can't wait? Catch up with the state of play so far using our handy @grafana.bsky.social dashboard (warning: episode 1-6 spoilers) play.grafana.org/d/siqtdwm/th...

I've been posting about my experiences with a Sonoff Cam Slim Gen 2 IP camera that I got from Amazon for £17. I was using the stock firmware but I got a couple more to try Thingino, an open source firmware. This was to eliminate the cloud / paid requirement and get more control... how's it going?

Looked up as I was coming downstairs from the office and saw Virgin’s 787 flight to Seattle pass by. I’ve only (thus far) done that route the other way round with them and on an A350.

The cheap cameras from Amazon arrived and I have just collected them from the locker. Here’s an initial unboxing of what you get. My aim is to use open source firmware and see what I can do, but I will set one up on the proprietary stock system for a while to compare… cc @katebevan.com

At $4,000 or best offer, you'd have a hard time finding a more unusual ride for Cars & Coffee duties.

#TheTraitors obsessives, my friend Simon has a fantastic nerdy dashboard pulling all the data together here 👇

I had fun building this, and I'll keep updating it as the show progresses! Next episode is tonight, Jan 7th...

Traitors Uncloaked masquerading as a “visualized podcast” is nonsense. It’s just a TV show with visible microphones to try and create some sort of radio vibe. #thetraitors

I've been messing with the @redisinc.bsky.social plane tracker @grafana.bsky.social dashboard again, now tracking highest/fastest & hoping to see a niche aircraft such as A330 Beluga XL. B737 is currently "rarest seen" as that refers to specifically the 737-700 not other more common variants.

I'm messing around with a bit of technical debt paydown for my personal website (minifying more JS, moving images to webp etc) but I'm also 50/50 on taking it down as I haven't added a new project page since Jan 15 2024...

That time when I had a BRABUS Smart and filled it with balloons for a charity thing. Nope it didn’t float away 😂

With the year coming to an end, we're excited to share 2025's memorable #Grafana use cases and dashboards. With all the innovative ways the community used our dashboards this year, it begs the question: What can't you do with Grafana? See them all: grafana.com/blog/grafana...

I did a little more work on my Redis / @grafana.bsky.social / flightware plane tracker tonight. With recent learning I was able to convert all the panels to stream data and add a couple more - number of messages received by the radio and number of Boeing 757 seen. #aviation cc @antirez.bsky.social

I made a meme based counting demo with @grafana.bsky.social canvas and other panels, the streaming @redisinc.bsky.social data source and Upstash cloud Redis as the buttons use the REST API to update a counter. Fun learning!

Visited Notts County’s “The Nest” fan zone today for the winter market. Really cool venue with big screen, bar, food options. Also took a peek at Forest thrashing Tottenham from the bridge 😃

I've been testing my ADSB / Software Defined Radio / Redis / @grafana.bsky.social system continuously all weekend. 777-300ER has been the most spotted widebody all weekend, but 787-9 crept up slowly and finally overtook it Sunday lunchtime... can it hold on??????

MicroPython v1.27 has been released! github.com/micropython/... It includes support for new micros, a whole swag of new features and bugfixes - and further improvements to automated testing, particularly by leveraging HIL. Congrats and thanks to the #MicroPython team!

Arnov Sharma's Giant NeoPixel is a SAM D21-driven, 30x-scaled version of the popular WS2812B RGB addressable LED that works just like its real counterpart.

Interesting in speaking at GrafanaCon 2026? We're running a session this Friday where you can learn more! www.meetup.com/grafana-frie...

I used the recently released @railandroad.bsky.social data to generate a @grafana.bsky.social dashboard showing station usage metrics. Check it out on Grafana Play! #rail #railways play.grafana.org/d/sixtbqt/gr...

All great, but what about getting some real airlines that can provide connections (KLM, Air France, Luthansa?) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

DOG SHIT BAG BAUBLE - NEW FOR 2025 Hand-painted, glossy as fuck, sealed in a biodegradable bag and tied off with a little zip tie. Shit in a bag in a bag. Limited run. When they’re gone they’re gone yeah? Link in bio. A FUKNÄK object from the House of Toss.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I don't often post music recommendations, but this David Byrne Tiny Desk for NPR is fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNmc...

Here’s a great little BTS video from KLM on the acceptance process of its Embaer E195-E2 aircraft, specifically celebrating the 25th delivered. The clash and ultimately bonding of Dutch and Brazilian cultures is a great detail. youtu.be/ME-y8REWUaE?...

I’ve been in London this evening helping to teach a workshop showing folks how to use @grafana.bsky.social to build real time tube status and departure boards. Let’s celebrate with some pictures of actual boards from Kings Cross St Pancras.

Here’s a new bimode EMR train. It’s in diesel mode in Nottingham of course as they will never electrify the midland mainline properly. Photo taken while waiting for the current generation diesels to take me to St Pancras.

Happy birthday Roy, let’s get the bigger boat this year?

Want a tiny little classic Mac 128k emulator to play with? Yeah, you know you do.

Visited Namsan Mountain and the N Seoul Tower while in Korea. Some pics.

Had a ride home on another Korean 77W. Prestige class, lounge at ICN was nice but lack of priority security is strange.

I have some more pics to post later but for now it’s time to head home from Seoul.

Found in Seoul at a mall yesterday. @rhcmuts.bsky.social

The older trains on the Seoul metro line 2 (circle) still have these nice physical maps of where the train is. They remind me of the one you have @katebevan.com

Had a look around the library in Gangnam as it’s quite a destination location itself. Found this illustrated C++ book.

Visited Gangnam last night.
