GOES Full-Disc Animations in Linux

Your browser does not support the video tag. If you’ve seen my other tutorials/note-drops on receiving GOES imagery and how to delete all the extra GOES files you might also be interested in generating an animated gif/movie of your files.

UPDATED GOES removal script for Linux

Recently I made this tutorial on receiving GOES images, and I had previously posted a little script for keeping everything clean. It’s now been updated slightly for new paths according to the howto I created. Not very complicated. First create your script $ nano /home/radio/goes_remove_old.sh Then, paste this in # DELETE FILES older than 7 days in the emwin directory find /var/www/html/goes/emwin/* -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; # DELETE ENTIRE DIRECTORIES older than 7 days and 14 days for NWS find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m1/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m2/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/non-cmip/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes18/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/nws/* -type d -mtime +14 -exec rm -rf {} \; Exit and save the file....

Compiling (downgrading to) gnuradio 3.7.x on Ubuntu 20.x

Ubuntu 20.x comes with GnuRadio 3.8 which is based on python 3, and, the latest and greatest. However, sometimes you may need to install the older version of gnuradio instead of the latest 3.8 release. Here are my notes on doing just that First, you have to install python2 and pip sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt update sudo apt install python2 curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py sudo python2 get-pip.py Then, you have to install the dependencies for GnuRadio...

Compiling R1Soft Backup Agent on Ubuntu 16.x or 14.x

** UPDATE FOR UBUNTU 16.X ** it’s a little different with these versions of ubuntu, you can follow the instructions below, but when it comes time to updating your grub config, do this instead. # grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg Which, will output all the kernels, which now you just have to ‘count’ the entries, so for example if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then menuentry_id_option="--id" menuentry_id_option="" export menuentry_id_option menuentry 'Ubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-8e6c4ba1-8970-4c10-8245-ff967b14dad5' { submenu 'Advanced options for Ubuntu' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-8e6c4ba1-8970-4c10-8245-ff967b14dad5' { menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 4....
