Here is how I've setup my home network. My goal is to build something that is reliable, performant, as open-source as possible, and re-uses old electronics.
My thinking is based on homenethowto.com and a blog that I can't find anymore that had instructions for how to set up a cheap, simple network with and EdgeRouter and a Unifi AP.

I like looking at maps that isolate different natural features. And I think that rivers make pretty patterns. So I made a series of scripts that generates a pretty map of rivers. I hope to print the maps of places that are important to me as art.
The code that generates these maps is here: https://git.dendroalsia.net/ben/pretty_rivers

I'm interested in rivers (both ecologically and recreationally) and I want to know water level they are currently at, and how does that compare to their water levels throughout the year and in their recent history.
In the US, the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) maintains a large set of realtime water level sensors, and that dataset is queriable through an API. So I wrote these scripts that take a set of rivers and their associated gauge IDs, downloads the recent and historical data and generates a bunch of graphs.
Here's the code: https://git.dendroalsia.net/ben/USGS_NWIS
