    Wow how have I not seen these weekly roundups before? Cool little news digest

        Yes but the RSS feed for non-subscribers is just the announcement of the post. I still have to go to the site to read the whole newsletter, which is fine.

    I’ve been running Bluehood the past couple weeks, on a Raspberry Pi that was otherwise collecting dust. I’m up to 2K Bluetooth devices spotted and I live on a slow, residential street. Its quite startling how easily you could stalk someone who travels around with Bluetooth on.

      Hmmm… I have a spare Pi kicking about, I might give this a go.

      Before I go looking for stuff, did you need a BT adapter to get better range, etc?

        So, I have it running on a Pi 3 B+ which has BT 4.2 built in. You would indeed probably get even better range with a BT adapter and USB extension.
