Just audited my server logs due to a sudden spike in bandwidth costs. Turned out to be a vibe-coded application scraping 153 radar sites using a single $14.99 @weatherpulse.com subscription for their "Pro" users that they charge $7/mo. Come on ya'll, don't be jerks.

EXCLUSIVE: DHS Refuses to Release Email Justifying Warrantless Entry by ICE

I sued to obtain the General Counsel Memo justifying ICE entering homes without judicial warrants. Turns out it’s not a memo at all - it’s an email - and they’ve wrongly redacted it.

METARs are now back to being directly ingested from the FAA. We take the "fastest path" approach so that these reach you as quickly as possible while maintaining redundancy. Latency for SPECIs is greatly reduced by this change. Once we have metrics we will share them with you.

Im playing with traffic cameras cycling through along with the OMOs. They seem the most relevant along with a GOES Meso region (or 2 in the case of 30s). Either way, plenty of data to play with here if anyone wants to toy around with a SDEF.

I was having a good conversation with my buddy about "server uptime" and he brought up the fact that having 300+ days of uptime USED to be something to brag about. Now we deal with CVEs almost daily. I'm interested to hear everyone else's thoughts as someone that manages hundreds of servers.
