#30DayMapChallenge Day 12: Map from 2125 A worst‑case scenario of 2.5 m #SeaLevelRise reshapes the Netherlands. Built in #QGIS with SRTM90 via #OpenTopography, raster image styled polygons, @maptiler.bsky.social satellite raster tiles, and rendered in #3D […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

QGIS to (Geo)Pandas follow-up The conversation around Looking for better ways to convert between QGIS VectorLayer and (Geo)DataFrame is continuing over at What I've learned so far: QgsVectorLayer.as_geopandas() has landed in QGIS master on 13 Oct 2025. There's also QgsVectorLayer […]

There is a low-key revolution going on in the laptop world: 3:2 aspect ratio screens. I recently hopped on and I love it. Now all 16:9 laptops feel ridiculous to do any real work on. It's like 2007 all over again! #framework

Do you all know about Ctrl+backspace and Ctrl+Delete to remove entire words per keystroke? Am I the only one who didn't know?

I forgot to post this. The organizers at #WHY2025 had been using #QField, #QGIS and #Postgresql for the festival's spatial planning! I can't fault this stack. But I vaguely remember them telling about new features they would have enjoyed. I hope they will […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Arrived yesterday at #why2025 . Why? Why not!

Found my first ever #ubuntu #linux distro from 2008. 😄 It's from a time when you could have requested a free install CD.

#commodore corp. is getting rebooted. ...by a team of retro enthusiasts and old staff led by retro youtuber perifractic. They acquired the brand. Grain of salt, make of it what you will, etc. Their kickstarter-ish project just began: www.commodore.net IDK.. but a part of me wants one of […]

One of these rare chances to get your hands on #curl stickers materializes tomorrow in Rotterdam when I appear at the Joy of Coding conference with a load of stickers waiting for new homes. Less importantly, I will also talk. https://joyofcoding.org/daniel_stenberg.html

"Words can't describe how beautiful we are! ...but numbers can: 2/10." Funny description of a group at a hacker event

Made a new release of the QGIS H3 toolkit plugin! It contains various fixes improvements , a new tool and long overdue H3 lib v4.x support 🙂 It's pending approval to the official plugin repository. Until then you can see the changelog and grap the .zip file to install at […]

We've done it 🥳 Finally, there's a canonical paper on the #qgis project, its history, workings, and challenges: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666389925001138 Thanks to @timlinux and @mbernasocchi for joining me in trying to tell the QGIS story 💚 #osgeo #gischat #giscience

For #pyqgis raster masters: use QgsRasterLayer.as_numpy() to get your raster layer as numpy array. This was silently added in QGIS v3.40, thus no one seems to know! https://qgis.org/pyqgis/3.40/core/QgsRasterLayer.html#qgis.core.QgsRasterLayer.as_numpy #qgis #numpy

Spotted on a LinkedIn safari: "Full stack vibe coder."

Just bought my ticket to #why2025 ! Anyone here going? Do you have tips for a first-timer?

Sort of cross-posting this (sorry:) ) Last week I was on @pyconde and it's been awesome. It's a great event if you want to deepen your software craftsmanship skills on python or open source ML/AI. ...and meet people in this space. To you who know what […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

🎉 Big Changes Ahead: We're moving to Qt6 and Launching #qgis 4.0! https://blog.qgis.org/2025/04/17/qgis-is-moving-to-qt6-and-launching-qgis-4-0/ #gischat #osgeo #foss4g

Today, @qgisnl & #itc @utwente organised a workshop to bring together the #qgis community and #academia to discuss the way forward with #ai #machinelearning #deeplearning. Nice plugin presentations and useful discussions about the challenges & opportunities!

Asking for a friend. Are there any good reasons to use Endnote instead of Zotero?

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this. #qgis

Our Dutch cafeteria really serves the worst vegan food and I even eat it …🤔 @Radboud_uni

So, I quickly aged 15 years doing plaster work for half an hour. Better than an ageing algo prediction. ...unless I would go bald. I do get to have better walls either way.

Soo, The US has just cut off Ukraine's access to Maxar satellite imagery. Specifically, access to their GEOINT platform. I reckon, they could still purchase individual imagery from resellers, archive or tasking. If working with original imagery or the tasking via a reseller was even viable […]

I work faster when my IDE theme is set to dark. Is that weird? #ide #programming

Another cloudy day in Dutch land. Appropriately, I am busy with migrating stuff to a new cloud service.

Here's a government "AI" fail of today. The real news here isn't about the found bias. But about management at a gov. department who have 1. skipped their due diligence before "going AI". 2. been bullshitting the public about the opposite I'm not against AI/ML in general. But someone there […]

"Enshittification" picked as word of the year by the Macquarie dictionary (of Australia). I think it's the word of the decade! https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/word-of-the-year/word-of-the-year-2024/ #enshittification #sarcasm
