@starnearyou has been dormant for a long time. I want to revive it on the fediverse.

New task:

[ ] Create a script that sets up an abbreviated replica of the last 8-10 hours of files at https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_[ resolution ]_[ wavelength ].jpg, stuffs them into a folder, and starts up a little HTTP server.

Rationale:

I want to be able to play around with the source files without actually hitting the SDO server and getting rate-limited or something
