Ben @ben.casita.zone · 01/10/2026I guess the main question with this is where is new entrants into that smaller group come from. Maybe it’s so small as a group that it can just be filled completely with software mentats 000 0
Ben @ben.casita.zone · 24/09/2026I think that if you want to be a historic preservationist you should have to really commit: no technologies or materials from beyond your point of historical importance. So no car, no internet, no indoor plumbing, etc. 010 0

But at least sqrt(10)x better. 2621 0

The Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) started in 1967, buying a mainframe to timeshare between school districts. They made lots and lots of educational software.

Ben @ben.casita.zone · 06/05/2026Perhaps something is bad on my end, but I had pulled down the GTFS-RT source from the `getGTFS` endpoint as described and was getting back the March 17 set! Anyways it does all seem fine now; thank you. 010 0

Ben @ben.casita.zone · 05/05/2026Thanks. I had sent an email to ProductionPasscomm@njtransit about this as well; maybe I just missed something? I was able to mostly cut over to the RailData source, but things are a bit wonky between the two. 100 0
Ben @ben.casita.zone · 05/05/2026NJ Transit released a new GTFS static data source that as far as I can tell is just completely incompatible with their GTFS-RT feed. There is no documentation or upgrade path or recommended replacement, it just suddenly doesn’t work! And the old static file schedule ended on May 1. It’s a mess. 130 0
