Uses NASA's official public ISS telemetry stream, provided by Lightstreamer. Usage When pISSStream can connect to Lightstreamer and the ISS telemetry signal is being received by the ground station, the menu bar item shows alongside the fill percentage, and the menu simply reads "Connected" [6874747073] If either the connection to Lightstreamer or the ISS telemetry signal itself is lost, the menu bar item shows and the last received value if any, and the menu reads either "Connection Lost" or "Signal Lost (LOS)": [6874747073] But why? For some inexplicable reason people keep asking me why I (@Jaennaet) did this. My motivation was entirely that I thought this was both a hilariously stupid use of a space station's telemetry stream, but also kind of amazing at the same time. It's remarkable that we live in a world where it takes an afternoon to bang out a joke application that reads actual realtime telemetry data from a space station's toilets. Also a great excuse to learn Swift, but the sheer ridiculousness was what drove me. Bugs Not the epitome of good coding practices since this was my first Swift & macOS app ever, may break in exciting ways at the slightest excuse. * shrugs at stale data * not overly bothered with error handling Errata I found out about the data stream from https://iss-mimic.github.io/ Mimic/, which has considerably more and more interesting stats than just how full the piss tank is. I will not be adding any of them.
