I will say, I once saw a Reddit post about a flight tracker that used a Raspberry Pi, an LED array, and a 3D printed case. I've always been an airline nerd, and this thing will tell me what planes are flying near me. Is it dumb? Yup. Did the costs add up? Sure did! Does it bring me joy to see that the daily flight from Tokyo is the one making noise over my house, or that one particular flight that's neither to nor from my home airport passes over my neighborhood almost daily? Absolutely.

That is AWESOME.

My friend is a big flight buff who keeps flight radar open on a separate monitor all day. Gonna send this to him now
