Oh, neat. I do an amateur radio challenge called SOTA where any peak with 150m prominence is a candidate. British Columbia has detailed LIDAR data so I figure it would be straightforward to do, I just don't know anything about GIS to m

I've always called those folks seagulls - fly in, shit on everything, and take off again without having to deal with the consequences.

I'm genuinely jealous of your ability to either: - fall asleep at 9:31 and function on 7 hours of sleep - or fall asleep at 10:30 and function on 6 hours of sleep If I'm not getting 8 hours, I feel like a zombie the next morning.

And it's messing with our utilities in BC because we were buying the daytime oversupply in California and selling the hydro generated power back at night. They've had to adjust plans as battery storage comes online.

For some reason, I never buy phones that work with postmarketOS :( And I find phone naming confusing, it's difficult to find a used one locally to play with. Is it a Moto Play 2018 or a Play 2020? Trying to get that information from s

Caterpillar provides some really neat small scale flywheel UPS - used in places like hospitals where it would be very bad to lose power. They last long enough for the diesel gennies to start up.
