  • Looked up Jack’s Pokemon cards
  • Played Suspects with Jack and his friends
  • Made Jack lunch
  • Resurrected a Raspberry Pi
  • Found my RTL-SDR dongle
  • Installed rtl_433 and got lots of “maximum number of pulses reached” errors
  • Found my iPad with the keyboard
  • Used Blink - https://blink.sh/ - to connect to the Pi from the iPad
  • Created an SSH key for the iPad in the iPad’s secure element, cool!
  • Ran the Pi off of battery power and tried it outside
  • Installed TailScale on the Pi so I could access it via LTE if necessary
  • Tried out tpms-helper but it didn’t work for me and neither did rtl_fm, WTF, how can this not pick up FM stations?
  • Building gqrx sucks, forget it
  • sudo apt install -y qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libasound2-dev libjack-dev libportaudio-dev portaudio19-dev 
    
    git clone https://github.com/gqrx-sdr/gqrx.git
    cd gqrx
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    
    cmake -DLINUX_AUDIO_BACKEND=Portaudio ..
  • Found out that I could plug my USB hub with PD passthrough into my battery and then power the Pi and the SDR separately from the hub to avoid brownouts. But of course that only works because it doesn’t let you connect to the device at all.
  • Record 100.3 FM
  • rtl_fm -f 100.3 | sox -t raw -r 24k -es -b 16 -c 1 -V1 - blah.wav
