I want to share my passions for skydiving, paramotoring, science, and tech.
They dialed up the plagiarism to 11.

For the frame I like FlyProducts (my rig), Iris, and Parajet (pricey but nice).

I recommend the Spyder because it's like cheat-codes when you're ready to launch. Launching Paramotors is a pretty weird process and every advantage helps you build skills early.

I recommend the Moster for the maintenance videos that exist for it.

1. Finding quality instruction comes first. Know where you'll get a good education from.
2. Good schools have like 5 gearsets you'll fly during training. You may find like I did, the thing you thought you'd like doesn't fit your style.
3. You can't go wrong with a Moster 185 and an Ozone Spyder.

Ooh I'd heard of zenmap but obviously need to try it. It would even catch local IPs on different subnets? This might be a better tool for field engineers. Other answers I've been a fan of are "watch Wireshark and plug it in", `tcpdump arp` and plug it in, or just `arp -n` to see what's cached

I had no idea nmap could show its packets, nice!

Something I've been quizzing friends with lately: if I put an unknown ethernet device on the desk; how would you go about figuring out its DHCP-assigned or static IP?

PPG attracts a lot of folks with the hacker mindset, and is the best way to fly for fun/affordably imo. I actually don't recommend the electric one because in the beginning after training you need to build hours dialing in landings, getting comfortable, and chasing friends.

Oh wow there's a dump1090 app on the android store, looks like it's been done. Sorry for the stream of consciousness lol

I have flightaware's kit and the raspi would def be easier. I'm just fantasizing so I don't do actual work this late at night. Maybe somehow plugging this into dump1090 would work on Android, but that's probably a ton of work.

Lmk if you have questions. It's the best form of aviation when your cost functions are fun/affordable/safeish. It definitely draws a lot of people with hacker mindsets, but before you mention it I don't recommend going electric for your first unit.

It's a blast. youtu.be/2c6bVTfh1Z
I was just looking at your SDR posts thinking it'd be nice to have a dedicated android ADS-b app with an attached SDR displaying warnings without the delay that comes with websites.

Oh I didn't realize Bluesky had domain verification, and I didn't notice the .bsky.social was missing. Neat.

It might look trivial, but I'm essentially on the edge of stalling and falling below the formation. I was really stoked to pull it off with an amazing group of friends.

Pls no, how will I actually find good skydiving content that way??

We've got a solid paramotor group north of Pittsburgh if you're ever over this way.
