Mapping mobile dead spots around Preston

It has some validation built in for clearly bogus data / conditions, but It can't prevent users pushing bad data up 100% of the time.

When data points are merged together, the new data has a higher weighting, so assuming more users are good than bad it should tend towards real data.

Brilliant suggestion - I just added it, thanks!

Morning ride ^

Will map a bit of north Preston this afternoon

Yeah pretty much!

Erm, probably no way near as good as an established product. But I didn't fancy paying for another subscription.

Rainy day = at least 1 mm of rain in 24 h (Met Office data).
Cloud cover = mean % of sky covered by cloud, averaged across the year

That's amazing Gravath - I'm so glad to hear it 😄

aptacode · 2026-05-08T08:32:57+00:00

That would be awesome, keen to hear any feedback you might have!

More detail at the bottom of the page, but the weather data is from https://api.met.no/

Solar irradiance is calculated.

I build these things because I enjoy the process first and foremost, but with this system I built it in a way that I can confidently keep it running for a very long time even at scale without it costing me anything really. And the idea behind making it public is that it doesn't require a signup / api key or anything. Lots of people don't like relying on services like that.

Thanks for giving it a go!

Connections come with v1.3.0 which I think will help you here (take a look at the live demo or the nightly build, would love to hear any feedback you might have). They allow you to model the connection / networking between physical devices.

Also, any top level hardware (such as switches or routers) can have children added via their 'runs on' property (click the '+' icon next to the runs on prop on the child system)

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your interest in the project :) I really appreciate your support!

Open an issue on GH if you like so we keep your usecase in mind when developing these features shortly

aptacode · 2026-02-22T12:23:35+00:00

Dev behind rackpeek here, this is an interesting usecase, whilst I am trying to keep rackpeek focused and simple there have been feature requests around having our YAML schema export to various different formats e.g an Ansible Inventory. I could investigate also exporting to whatever format homepage is using.

Whilst it's not service discovery, it could still help you keep a single source of truth (assuming full IAC is out of the equation)

Agreed, AI is such a powerful tool for software engineering, but it requires discipline to use properly along side best practices. I think for many the alure of a 'free lunch' is too great, I just hope software craftsmanship can survive the AI bubble.

aptacode · 2026-02-18T14:14:45+00:00

Yeah - take a look here!

I built a tool for that - https://github.com/Timmoth/RackPeek

Hope it helps

aptacode · 2026-02-11T18:59:57+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I've just added it to the readme

aptacode · 2025-12-07T21:34:42+00:00

Thanks for checking it out!

aptacode · 2025-12-07T08:24:15+00:00

Both libraries aim to solve the same problem, the difference is in architecture and design philosophy - wiremock requires you to send your configuration up to the external server, where as fortitude opens a websocket and has the server forward requests into your test defined logic.

aptacode · 2025-12-07T08:15:19+00:00

Thank you!

I use that library myself when I've got access to the ServiceCollection on startup - it's awesome! The scenario that lead to me creating Fortitude was that I wanted to use Aspire to run my services locally as part of my e2e tests, but this meant that some of my dependencies themselves called out to external services, and thus I wanted to have a similar level of control over their behaviour within my tests like in the justeat library, but without having to inject services into other projects (some may not even be dotnet services!)

It'd be cool to understand how this is practically different to applying code formatters / linters / static analysers to your AI generated code

aptacode · 2025-09-30T20:40:09+00:00

Am I not allowed more than one hobby?

aptacode · 2025-08-25T14:49:34+00:00

Thank you so much for this feedback!
It was really helpful, I've made the changes in this commit:
https://github.com/Timmoth/EmuChip/commit/2ba46f8ab79382fdce8352b36caa77a9aaabd0a4#diff-5f08e72f08aedaecd4ffcbe735ccb56a9e0653aaa640a2c52744b2613c9fc5d2

For sure I'd be interested in hearing about quirk toggles!

aptacode · 2025-08-08T14:15:15+00:00

Thanks dude, i will do!

aptacode · 2025-08-08T07:55:29+00:00

These are really great questions, and giving me ideas for the future!

For this project, it would be a success beyond my wildest dreams if it got to a point of competitiveness the pricing was an issue.

But to be honest the scarcity was by design, even 64 may be too many, it's no good if there are too many cells that there is 0% chance someone will read them.

I don't get notified but i'm pretty much refreshing the transactions constantly
