This video by Flint Dibble provides a near optimal blend of the calm dispassionate analysis and righteous swearing that the topic deserves.

I haven't tried this, but might it be possible to use a VRT file in a local 'favourites' folder as a kind-of shortcut to a remote datasource?

For anyone using Microsoft 365, and seeing what looks like a mandatory £25/yr price rise for AI tools, you can reject it by going to Account > Manage Subscriptions > Cancel Subscription > Then select Microsoft 365 Personal/Family *Classic*.

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

I agree with this, and will definitely do so from tomorrow onwards…

Sounds like good preparation for industry

Mercator is objectively the best projection ever conceived

The downloadable dataset for Wales doesn't include designation date, and that for England is missing a date for about 16% of records. Only Scotland's is complete. The Wales dates could probably be acquired by web scraping though.

I always need two folders for any big project. Anything that can go on the cloud (OneDrive) does. Huge files go on a dedicated local SSD. It’s a bit of a pain, but the benefits of the online cloud for the files that do go on there are massive.

Visited here just the other day. Cool place, though a bit of a maze! Very nice photo.

Might this be that 'Langdon' self-styled detective character? He thinks Offas's Dyke is a canal despite climbing hills at about ~45° (gradient estimate based on walking it with a hangover).

Sad to see this beautiful #Worcester #canal -side weeping willow brought down by #stormdarragh. Still a lot of trunk remaining so I'll hope to see regrowth this spring.

Two great projections! Although I have a slight preference for Eckert IV over Equal Earth.

Lichenstone Geo @lichenstone.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

That's a truly horrible projection!

OK, here's my first starter pack. Honestly struggled a bit to find peeps! Pls let me know who's here that I'm missing so that I can grow this properly for drone mapping peeps! go.bsky.app/SXVsHzs

Visualizing terrain curvature can reveal and characterize subtle #archaeology features on steep ground. This is a drone #photogrammetry survey of British Camp #hillfort on the #Malvern Hills. Red is convexity, blue is concavity, greyscale is steepness. Created using #QGIS and other #osgeo tools.

Hi Bluesky friends! If you're interested in digital archaeology, I've put together a list of folks in the field to follow. If you're an archaeologist who posts about digital tools, techniques, or projects and want to be included, just let me know, and I'll add you. go.bsky.app/AHnKjhD

Here's a little experiment on using data science to accentuate subtle colour differences between archaeological features. Decorrelation stretch is a statistical method that aims to identify and remove covariance between colour components, increasing the visual separation of different deposits.
