As the author of dump1090 I'm going to change the license to require that it is always used together with Redis Streams and not with Kafka.

I'd be curious to see how this compares with a real-time flight track/noise monitoring system ( <a href="https://webtrak.emsbk.com/lax4" rel="nofollow">https://webtrak.emsbk.com/lax4</a> at LAX for example).
This is killer. I’ve been wanting to do something similar to figure out why I have Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity issues at random parts throughout the day. I’m thinking there is some kind of interference and would like to prove that.<p>This post will serve as a model for that. I’ve had an SDR and a few old Pis lying around for years... time to dust them off.
> The Raspberry Pi is a little underpowered for serious computation, so I need to offload processing to my local Kafka cluster.<p>Couldn't this be done on the Raspberry Pi with a O(n) search in the OpenFlights data? Probably less sexy, but a simple grep with location and time range should be enough.
I know I'm completely missing the point, but how does knowing which plane is upsetting your cat help with the situation? Are you going to report them to the FAA or something?<p>P.S. Coming up with examples for things in computer science that aren't absurd is hard. I had to think of an example when I was explaining junction tables for many-to-many relationships to someone the other day. After a minute or so of thinking, I just fell back on that old standard of books and authors.
> The Raspberry Pi is a little underpowered for serious computation, so I need to offload processing to my local Kafka cluster.<p>The RPI includes purpose built hardware for DSP in the VideoCore so, probably not.<p>Poe's law in action I suppose.<p>I'm all for big data but this is a case of nuking a fly.
I've been seeing so many Raspberry Pi projects on HN lately. It's great! I just got a Zero W and have a B+ lying around that I don't know what to do with.
