Running an RTL SDR v3 with a homebrew antenna, pulling data into readsb that gets piped into other services like tar1090 for the front-end map display, and Skystats for all kinds of extra data like "Interesting aircraft" and various route data, including the most popular routes, origin airports, and airlines.

I just got my pi feeder up and running a month or so ago. I had no idea about skystats, I'm going to spin it up now and take a look!

edit: for those that might come across this, setup was super smooth, I'm running on another VM that is just grabbing data from my readsb instance on my raspi.
