sounds like a markov chain going berserk

1. it is xterm, xterm.js to be sepcific 2. uses no-vnc. if you own the repl theres a way to set the vnc server password and access from your own client, but i forget how. probably on the replit docs/blog

I think the x64 isn't xterm. It's not clear what the client is (or what errors if throws if it breaks).

Again, let me stress this: xterm.js is providing the console only. Any visual things, including the x64 window, are provided by the VNC connection, which is completely independent of the xterm console.

Exactly, it's not clear what VNC is being used.

A few weeks ago, I published Amtrak.js, an NPM package which allowed for easy access of the Amtrak API. If you know anything about the API, it is not a simple process fetching data.

I expected that apps and websites would pop up using my library (and the rehosted API at api.amtrak.cc), but none ever came. As my uni classes cooled down from the start of the year, I decided to take it upon myself to make a train tracking app.

My main intention here was to have it use quite a bit less data than Amtrak's official website while also being less clunky on mobile. Why? Well, trying to track your train on 3G and the page happily munching through 10MB of data as fast as possible is, well, not ideal.

I should probably make a more technical writeup over how all of this works at some point in the future, but feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer!

Nope. Go to https://maps.amtrak.com/services/MapDataService/trains/getTr... and let me know how readable the data is lol, though I have also made an API based off of this library (and integrated it into the library) which you can read on the docs: https://api.amtrak.piemadd.com/docs

Some people have theorized it wasn't Amtrak who wanted the bs encryption (also probably why the keys haven't changed in 3 years and they've made no effort to prevent people from grabbing this data) but actually some sort of National Security jargon.

I actually came across an old hackernews thread where you mentioned you built the site, I guess you have a library to do it for you now lol

The thing is, you're probably right. Over time they've been restricting items for bots in over 100 servers. Right now its to see the users in the server and also to see the statuses of these users.

So did Lively, apparently

Lively Kernel started in like 2006.

Touché

funnily enough, thats exactly what the lengthener is doing!
