Whats up nerds. What is xagg (doi 10.21105/joss.07239) adding to the picture that exactextract is not already doing? #geospatialdata #python

Excited to share that Octavian Iercan, CEO of Quarticle, will be attending ITC London on Jan 26–27.

Connect with him or visit our booth to see how Quarticle is transforming insurance with geospatial intelligence.

#InsurTech #ITCLondon2026 #GeoIntelligence #LocationIntelligence #GeospatialData

Hello #Fediverse! Time for a proper #Introduction.

I’m a hobbyist developer and engineer (outside the tech industry) who loves building tools for education and personal use. I’m currently focused on:

🐍 #Python & #Django – Working through a 30-day library challenge right now!

💻 #Linux – Running #Fedora on my System76 laptop.

🏠 #HomeLab – Managing an #OpenMediaVault setup on a Ugreen DXP2800, plus lots of #Docker and #Portainer tinkering.

🗺️ #Geospatial – Exploring data science projects.

Current Projects:

DITS: A custom issue tracker application.

Devnexus: A lite weight TUI issue and pull request application

mgl_website: My MickGeekLabs.org website and blog

Byte_Board_Blog: My personal blog project.

Pushing code to my local #Gitea (MickGeekLabs) and GitHub.

When I’m not debugging, I’m likely hanging out with my 16-year-old ginger tabby cat. 🐈

Looking forward to connecting with the #SelfHosted, #Python, and #Dev community here!

A busy home lab and developer workspace featuring a wooden desk with a laptop on a stand, two monitors, and a mechanical keyboard. To the right, a black wire shelving unit is stacked with networking hardware, including a network switch and a compact two-bay NAS. The setup is filled with visible cabling, a printer, and several tech equipment boxes on the floor, including a DeskPi RackMate box, reflecting a functional and active technical environment.

Wow. New #buildings height dataset based on Planetscope data #geospatialdata #opendata
"We introduce GlobalBuildingAtlas, a publicly available dataset providing global and complete coverage of building polygons, heights and Level of Detail 1 (LoD1) 3D building models. This is the first open dataset to offer high quality, consistent, and complete building data in 2D and 3D form at the individual building level on a global scale." https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/1782307

BUT Look in comments for caveats

A screenshot of a tweet by LAC Hub - HOT highlighting their 2023 achievements. The tweet describes a collaboration with Trufi Association and Codeando Mexico to advance transport mapping in Oaxaca and Toluca, Mexico. It also mentions the MapEdu project, which mobilized 38 school projects across Latin America and the Caribbean to map air quality, social needs, and risk zones. The tweet includes images of mapping activities, community engagement, and educational projects.

Urban - or rural? The answer matters more than you may think. 🏙️🌾
Countries are learning to map it better than ever.

A project to map the world's overland routes one can travel without flying.

It shouldn't be this hard to stay off of a plane.

World map showing global overland and ferry routes that can be traveled without flying. Colored lines connect cities and capitals across continents: yellow for bus routes, green for train routes, orange for taxi routes, and blue for ferry routes. The network is densest in Europe and Asia, with sparser connections in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. The map is credited to jol.earth
