I just saw this in @weeklyOSM@en.osm.town : Create printable pre-styled map posters of #OpenStreetMap data. Really nice themes and easy UI to adjust options. https://terraink.app/

@mukili@mastodon.social @infobeautiful@vis.social Here's the source of the data. You can zoom out to see how things have changed outside the city and you can look at different kinds of pollutants. https://www.airparif.fr/surveiller-la-pollution/bilans-et-cartes-annuels-de-pollution

OMG, the perfect vintage comfy chair just appeared on the curb in front of our place. It's a perfect match for Herbärt's fur!
Ich bin ein bisschen hinten dran mit @detektorfm@social.detektor.fm Antritt und habe erst gestern die Folge mit und über Martin Goetze angehört. Sehr empfehlendswert! Goetze ist ein toller Interviewpartner und hat viel zu erzählen über seine Rennradkarriere in der DDR (und anderes). https://detektor.fm/gesellschaft/antritt-martin-goetze-ueber-radsport-in-der-ddr
It's Vegan Sausage Fest today in Madison! Lots of different food (and some other) vendors, and a central location at Breese Stevens Field. I'm volunteering for setup and will then hang out and enjoy delicious food. https://www.vegansausagefest.com/
Wow, the jurisdictional transfer of Park Street from the state to the City of Madison is moving forward! This will give the city much more room for creating a safer street (and no more excuses!). https://madison.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=8124619&GUID=49B3B877-7F47-42B0-BA0B-D33E76519331

@apzpins@some.apz.fi Haha, I took our little shark to a bar a few years back. Good times.
I posted a waffle chart of impervious areas in #MadisonWI a while ago. Now it's a proper blog post with all the code to reproduce the chart (and an added table). https://haraldkliems.netlify.app/posts/2026-04-28-impermeable-areas-as-a-waffle-chart/
Madison Bike Week starts next week Saturday (May 30). So far, we have 77 events on the calendar for the week. I don't think that's a record yet, but based on experience, that number is still going to go up. https://www.madisonbikes.org/events/bikeweek-2026/
Somewhat amazingly, the Nintendo NES that's been sitting in our basement for at least 15 years still works! I listed it for sale -- we'll see if anyone will buy.
Even in a blizzard, #MadisonMetro keeps going (mostly, usually)
RE: https://mastodon.social/@cyclists_of_msn/116369640975396656
This was during a late blizzard this year, mid-March. I was just walking back from shoveling out a stranded driver when this guy rides by and cheerily yells, "That's Wisconsin, baby!"

I needed to make a quick delivery and used the opportunity to collect some imageryfor #Panoramax. A new multi-use path is just about to open in downtown #MadisonWI
Had a decent day of video editing today. I'm working on day 7 of our #bikepacking trip: Three classic Dolomites passes (Sella, Pordoi, Falzarego). Still a lot to do, but I have the intro sequence, recorded much of the narration, got the 3D route map rendered. Previous episode are in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpIOuoAsyIo&list=PLVYvBhWNmbN1s1mKJQtem4c2NcO8DjMCT&pp=sAgC
Day 6: Mendel Pass and getting into the Dolomites
#Breadstodon The usual Country Brown pure #sourdough bread, more or less following Ken Forkish's recipe. Today I increased the baking time with the lid on by another minute and baked at 470 F. I'm getting closer to where I want to be!
Has anyone successfully converted their blog/website from Distill to Quarto without re-rendering all the posts and code? I am aware of @djnavarro@hachyderm.io 's post on the topic from 2022 (https://blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2022-04-20_porting-to-quarto/) but Danielle did convert and re-render her old posts. Distill still works just fine for me, but with it no longer being under active development, I'd like to switch to Quarto.
Replying to
@mszll@datasci.social This is really interesting. My quick skim of the paper implies that the street-level imagery analysis is limited in what it can add, but I think there's a lot of potential. And it shows why we need free/open street-level imagery datasets like @panoramax@mapstodon.space

Replying to
@mbonsma@mastodon.social Absolutely, and that's great. I meant more than in most other places data at that level of detail are not available. Even just for bike mode share, without distinguishing between e-bike and regular bike, you usually don't have city-level data available.
#ThunderSnow is coming to #MadisonWI
Edit: I guess it's #ThunderFreezingRain or #ThunderSleet, but that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Replying to
@mbonsma@mastodon.social @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it I so wish we had better numbers for the exposure/miles travelled/numbers of trips side of the equation! Without that it's really hard to figure out what's going on.

@lutz_@bildung.social @brotbacken@fedigroups.social Sieht interessant aus! Rausbekommen ist bei mir kein Problem, da ich komplett im Gusseisentopf backe. Den Teigling schonend einzulegen ist hingegen schwieriger.

@lutz_ @brotbacken Ich backe Brot auch nur im Gusseisentopf. Das Video empfiehlt Backpapier, aber das ist IMHO nicht nötig.

@regines_radsalon Das Farbschema ähnelt ein bisschen dem des Crust Evasion Lite, das meine Liebste fährt. (Sorry, habe gerade kein besseres Bild zur Hand).
Replying to
@ObbieZ@urbanists.social Unsure. They played in Mt Pleasant, MI yesterday. So the drive would probably be in the non-horrible weather zone.
Makes me wonder if you buy a deeply discounted ticket and the show is cancelled: Do you get back the ticket's face value? :D
Anyways, I have come to the realization that I don't actually like their music and will take a pass (tickets are up to $20 as well).
Replying to
LOL, down to $13 now. Our school district cancelled classes for tomorrow. There are going to be free tickets within the hour...
I'd like to scan some magazines with my #Android phone. Mix of text and photos, drawings, full color. I tried Google's beta scanning app which is very fast, but the quality isn't great. What do people like as scanning app? Speed/convenience are more important than quality, but it still needs to be good enough to at least have readable text.

@KlausGerdGiesen@chaos.social Oh nice, I missed that! @mjaschen@social.tchncs.de @bikerouter@en.osm.town What are the blue/red dots in the elevation chart? It looks like some overall/local maximum/minimum values, but that doesn't seem to be working just right.
Replying to
@mei@donotsta.re Depending on the day and time, I see some single journeys for as low as 15 EUR. But yeah, Deutschlandticket in most cases will be the better option. Just make sure you cancel it on time.

@kraft I've never used it, but some people really like https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/ for OCR and document management.
Replying to
@bikerouter@en.osm.town @KlausGerdGiesen@chaos.social Thanks for the explanation. IMHO I'd remove the additional points as long as it's not clear what they represent. The absolute min/max points are useful though.
Oh, it's #BandCampFriday again. My wishlist is kinda empty (and/or has stuff that I don't actually want anymore). So I have to see if there's anything I actually want to buy today.
It's #BandCampFriday. I discovered dälek, an underground hip hop act on Ipecac Recordings. I've only had time to listen to one song but immediately was drawn in: https://dalek.bandcamp.com/album/brilliance-of-a-falling-moon

I mean, everyone always chooses for: essential cookies only? I do, anyway.
Me too, but I occasionally get to watch other people's behavior when surfing the internet and think there are plenty of people who just click "agree/accept all" by default.

Really important reporting on forced c-sections. Medical racism against Black pregnant people is alive and well. "Mentally competent patients typically have the right to choose their medical care — or refuse it. But there is one notable exception: pregnant patients. That inconsistency is particularly striking in FL, a state that has pushed to expand medical freedom for those who wish to avoid vaccines or fluoridated water, while constricting the rights of people in various stages of pregnancy."
