It is my practice to delete the hash lines after question marks in URLS to defeat tracking... but the question mark has disappeared in c/programming

Privately Share Photo Albums? in c/[email protected]

[–] dallen 1 points 2 days ago

I use Immich for sharing. Get some accounts set up for closest family so you can easily add them to albums. For others you can just share a link to each album, password protected or simply unlisted.

Personally, I run my internet accessible apps on my Hetzner VM behind a reverse proxy, whereas things like home automation, DNS and Octoprint I prefer to serve on my local network.

Can highly recommend tldr as a companion to man!

What is a service you host you never knew you needed? in c/[email protected]

[–] dallen 3 points 1 week ago

Same as any piece of software you’re hosting, it’s up to you to decide. I run my instance on my Hetzner vm.

mysql or postgresql? Which is better for an Internet-facing application in c/[email protected]

Why is copying to USB stick on Linux so damn slow? in c/[email protected]

I do -azP for compression

With all this ghostty talk. Am I out of touch for still using terminator all these years? in c/[email protected]

Tilix is great but also unmaintained.

Best Alternative to Postman? in c/programming

[–] dallen 6 points 1 month ago

Also my go-to, I prefer everything in version control instead of someone else’s cloud.

IIRC, Pycharm can also inject the same .rest files.

curl?

Which default software do you replace after you install your distro? in c/[email protected]

[–] dallen 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gnome Files with Thunar.

It’s the perfect file manager for a user like me.

I also started with Hoary Hedgehog!

I remember getting the pressed CDs in the mail for free. It was my first installed distribution but I remember messing around with a Slax Live CD before.

YSK: there is a library called pathlib with different methods for accessing files which you might like since they do not require a context manager in c/python

[–] dallen 4 points 2 months ago

I subconsciously replace os.path with pathlib whenever touching any module for a refactor.

I wanted to share a small project I've been working on. The goal was to make the data from NASA's Landsat Thermal Infrared Sensor more accessible to the general public.

I worked with the raw temperature band data to general annual maximum surface temperature raster images for large urban areas covered by the Eurostat GISCO Urban Audit. In the browser, these images are transformed into easier to interpret isotherm contours with some adjustable settings.

I don't have a specific target audience in mind. The map could help identify areas of refuge for the warmer months, or overheated neighborhoods to avoid as we march towards a toasty future.

Feedback is welcome :)

EDIT: For UK visitors, sorry to leave you with an empty map...

I've taken a look at older urban extent data and found the geometry I need to process the UK (from before leaving Eurostat). However, there are still some UI limitations to overcome since it seems that cities are split into many boroughs that could only be viewed one at a time. The reason I went with the Eurostat dataset to begin with was a nice delineation of what a city was (for the purposes of this project).

Don't have a timeline, but I do want to add the UK and automatic loading of cities as you pan!
