Run offline maps on #RaspberryPi with MapTiler Server. Ideal for deployment in remote areas, during emergency response, or at industrial sites. Now maps can be accessed anywhere, even on single-board computers without an internet connection. Find out more via link in the comment section.

Spent all day fixing a bug in metR that broke tanaka contours when projecting contours. Now it's fixed and can keep designing my poster.

#rstats
Figure with 6 panels showing a polar stereographic view of Antarctica with pink and blue filled contours with a relief effect that makes the positive values look like they go out of the screen and the negative values go back into the screen.

#rstats is anyone here using #positron? I discovered that the latest version works for me! Super happy about that. Now I'm trying to find out how it will load data files from the current working directory when started with a .qmd file from there, instead of trying to read from my home directory.

I think about this map a lot.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-us-land-use/
This is a cartogram map of the United States depicting land use by different categories. The map distorts state shapes to represent proportional land usage. Key land use types include cow pasture/range (covering much of the central U.S.), private and federal timberland in the Pacific Northwest, corporate timberland in the Southeast, and urban housing/commercial areas in the Northeast. Other categories include agriculture (livestock feed, wheat exports, ethanol/biodiesel, cotton), protected lands (national parks, federal wilderness, state parks), and infrastructure (railroads, airports, highways). Additional specialized land uses include wildfires, golf courses, Christmas tree farms, and maple syrup production.

The legality (not wisdom) of putting European private data on US clouds hinges on the availability of the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. Trump neutered this board, and the European parliament has taken notice & asked the European Commission what they think:

It was in view of the Commission’s assessment that the European Parliament adopted its resolution of 11 May 2023 on the adequacy of the protection afforded by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (2023/2501(RSP)). Furthermore, during a LIBE Committee mission to Washington in May 2023, LIBE Members had an opportunity to discuss EU-US data transfers with Members of the US Congress, representatives of the US Departments of Justice and Commerce, as well as the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission. One of the issues considered in the above-mentioned resolution are the competences of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), an independent body responsible for ensuring that privacy and civil liberties are safeguarded. The EU-US Data Privacy Framework established a new review mechanism, allowing individuals in the EU whose personal da

$DEITY bless the #GDAL crew #gis lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gd...
Screenshot of an email announcement on the GDAL-dev mailing list. The subject reads: ‘[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.10.2 “Gulf of Mexico” is released.’ The email, written by Even Rouault, announces the release of GDAL/OGR 3.10.2, a bug-fix version, with download links for the source files in different formats. A humorous note suggests choosing a geodetic datum wisely. The email ends with a link to the sender’s website, spatialys.com, and the sign-off: ‘My software is free, but my time generally not.’
