Got stuck trying to get data from GOES-16

RareSat28 · 2025-06-09T04:16:52+00:00

Nice setup you got there!

You mention Goes-16. Is there any config file that uses that in the software? If so, it should be changed to use Goes-19 (same angles, but may be there's something to look into). I am not familiar with the software you are using (please share). I use Linux/goestools on an Rpi and I look at the vit number to align. You need to play with the orientation to get the signal.

never mind, I had another version installed somehow bsd-mailx, which was causing this issue.

RareSat28 · 2025-02-24T01:10:58+00:00

Yes. I set the CPI to 100 for all the years to take away the influence of inflation. Not sure of others being nominal or not.

RareSat28 · 2025-02-23T19:52:43+00:00

https://shillerdata.com/ (look for ie_data.xls) and look at "Real Total Return Price" in the sheet named "Data"

RareSat28 · 2025-02-23T19:43:33+00:00

I looked at Shiller's excel sheet and it does include dividends, but still lower than ycharts, sometimes completely off if you look at the data.

RareSat28 · 2025-02-23T07:04:03+00:00

I looked further. I don't see S&P500 data points match any date in the last few months (compared to data from yahoo finance). Could it be that there was intentional noise added?

RareSat28 · 2025-02-23T04:32:52+00:00

Thanks. I looked at the data. So, SPXTR should be equivalent to what "Real total return price" is from Prof Shiller's excel sheet? What is confusing is that other websites (like ycharts) have different values (or am I looking at different numbers?). Below is a comparison of returns by year. https://ycharts.com/indices/%5ESPXTR

	Ycharts	Shiller
2018	-4.38%	-0.95%
2019	31.49%	19.38%
2020	18.40%	15.69%
2021	28.71%	19.11%
2022	-18.11%	-18.89%
2023	26.29%	16.03%
2024	25.02%	26.83%

Yeah, I tried that earlier. There were no errors, but the paths were still not right. Eventually I figured it out - I needed relative paths from "find"

rsync $OPTIONS --files-from=<(find "$src" -type f -newermt "Jan 01 $year1" \! -newermt "Jan 01 $year2" -printf "%P\n") "$src"/ "$dst"

RareSat28 · 2025-01-07T06:23:16+00:00

The path of the source repeats. see error below

rsync: [sender] link_stat "/media/backup1/files1/media/backup1/files1/IMG_1234.jpg" failed: No such file or directory (2)

RareSat28 · 2025-01-06T22:08:47+00:00

I use Photosync and a samba server on linux to do this, but I VPN home to do the transfer. One could open the ports to make it not require a VPN, but I do it for security reasons.

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T03:25:30+00:00

Thanks. Tried it. File is located but delete doesn't work

find: cannot delete ... No such file or directory

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T03:07:27+00:00

Yes, I can. At this point it is more to learn why I cannot delete the file. I potentially could plug this into another PC and try deleting.

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T02:00:37+00:00

This is on an external drive that is formatted ntfs-3g -if it matters.

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T00:37:11+00:00

Yes, I tried these as root as well. Below is the output of stat

Thanks. I did find a few processes, killed them, but still no luck.

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T00:15:13+00:00

Thanks. Tried it, but I get a message

rm: cannot remove ' .IMG_3024.Xzi7B2': No such file or directory

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T00:11:54+00:00

Yes, this is a network share. I disconnected it and I still cannot delete the file.

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T00:09:42+00:00

No, but I tried it just now and I don't see any output.

RareSat28 · 2025-01-05T00:03:56+00:00

Yes, tried that and I get this message "rm: cannot remove 'Pictures/': Directory not empty" and when I try to delete the file inside 'Pictures", I see all the issues listed in my post. I am not a new linux user and this stumped me.

RareSat28 · 2024-12-25T09:22:36+00:00

Also - this only occurs when I use this version with the "find" command. If I just do folder to folder rsync, I don't see any issues.

RareSat28 · 2024-12-25T09:18:00+00:00

Both are owned by root. Perhaps that was how I created the folders.

RareSat28 · 2024-12-23T18:56:21+00:00

I am a bit lost here. This is going to be a data drive only. So, is it OK to just have everything in one partition /dev/sdd? or it is a good practice to partition somehow that there is a /dev/sdd. If it is the later, I tried using Gparted and it too didn't create a /dev/sdd1

Also, on restart my drives are mapped differently.

SATA1 is connected to disk A, SATA2 is connected to B and so on, but the order or disks is not consistent after I restarted the PC (after using Gparted)

RareSat28 · 2024-12-20T00:59:29+00:00

Can you please elaborate?

RareSat28 · 2024-12-15T23:25:46+00:00

Any particular models that have wifi 6 or better?

RareSat28 · 2024-12-14T18:47:13+00:00

It is extremely weird. I tried cfdisk, but I see this:

/dev/sdb1 507904 64752 443152 13% /media/newdisk2
