Last night’s programming accomplishment: enabling my ADS-B reception program to output a TIFF file instead of a raw RGB file without using external libraries.
The difference between an uncompressed raw RGB dump and an uncompressed TIFF file is literally less than ~200 bytes, so `in theory` this should not have been a complete pain in the ass to implement.
LOL, yeah, that’s totally not the reality. Even with the help of the spec and an example encoded file on a web page… it was still difficult.
