Some more progress has been made on my ESP32 WiFi based location tracker. The ESP32 connects to every open WiFi network it finds, it then makes a DNS request to my DNS server with the BSSID. A python script on the DNS server then uses the Wigle.net API to plot the locations on a map.

But still a really cool feature of Mastodon.

I guess I never did an #introduction, and now that there's more folks around here, it must be time.

I'm Leo! I do #Linux things all the time, and try to use as much #OpenSource and #FOSS software as possible. I dig #history, especially #technology history, so much that I do a #video #podcast every fortnight at @linuxuserspace

I've been meaning to dig more into doing some #education - type videos, and maybe do a little more blogging, but the history wormhole is a very strong one.

I want to give some love to the resource I used when making my hex map Pico8 code.
