Just launched something I've been tinkering with - a visual timeline of my life in weeks 📅 Each colored dot represents a notable moment. The scary part: weeks pass by at an alarming rate, but they're long enough that they all fit on one page. Check it out: jameshard.ing/weeks

England status: hot 🔥 At least @home-assistant.io makes the climate data look nice

Since the number is still non-zero, I quickly threw together a new screen for my split flap display, pulling data from my privacy-friendly Umami self-hosted server. I’ve been thinking about making a webpage where anyone on the web can upload messages to the board in my living room. Dangerous?

This is madness. I have historically had an average of around 5-10 visitors to my website a day, mostly looking at an old Flask tutorial that I wrote orignally almost a decade ago. Hacker News traffic alone has brought around 140K pageviews in two days.

Cloudflare has really saved my poor little VPS in the last 24 hours! My flight data API (a tiny Flask service) is the only part not heavily cached, and it has survived despite the hammering.

Wow! I posted my interactive pilot logbook webpage to Hacker News on a whim, and it has somehow reached the top spot. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4439... jameshard.ing/pilot#statis... Turns out there are lots of software people who are also into aviation!
