My therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.
I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.
Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.
Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.
Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Just got this from Microslop GitHub:
> We're updating how GitHub uses data to improve AI-powered coding tools. From April 24 onward, your interactions with GitHub Copilot—including inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—may be used to train and enhance AI models unless you opt out.
I barely ever use GitHub. When I do, it's when I am forced to because some project I rely on only uses GitHub.
If your project is only using GitHub, please consider migrating.

We've aleady been repeadetly DDoSed by these companies. Spending hundreds of
volunteers hours keeping our services running while the companies extract the
labour to sell back to the FOSS community, using their standing in the Linux
Foundation to further cement their usage in our communities.
Then the FOSS communities use these models without any care of the ethical considerations.
Is this depressing? Yes.
