Leaflet doesn't provide tiles, but lets you get tiles from a variety of sources including OSM, & Mapbox, so you still need a tile provider, or need to render your own tiles.

Thought you were on Kobo for some reason. Might be worth grabbing a cheap one as a Pocket + Overdrive device, it's a pretty great combo ;)

On your Kobo go to Hamburger Menu > Settings > Accounts, then do what it asks to sign in to Pocket. Once that's done you get a "My Articles" option in the hamburger menu, and that's your Pocket content.

Excellent, thanks! I Google Translated the federal law, and it seems to be mostly about how leases are dealt with. I also did some Googling and found what I think is the garden in the article, although there seems to be a few gardens in Wed

Thanks for the link. I may be able to convince someone to translate if Google isn't good enough. If that page is the whole set of laws then it's really not so many rules as the article makes out - our rules in Montreal are probabl

Does anyone know where I can get an English copy of Berlin's Bundeskleingartengesetz? I manage a community garden in Montreal and love the idea of BBQ and beers in the evening, but the city, (who owns the land), is not ok with drinking

There was a big heatwave in 2017. I can't find documentation, but "highest since 2017" might actually mean "Second-Highest Ever"

It doesn't mention it. I'm guessing it doesn't live in France. The Government of Canada says it's native to western North America[1]. [1] https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/our-natural-resources/forests-and-fo..

Quick translation: Because of heat waves and droughts, the coniferous forests of France are drying out and dying. A few interesting points: - Plants with a short lifecycle migrate pretty quickly with climate change, (so, plants that like he

Me too. It's only got 59 "visits" to my home. Even if we only count the life of this iPhone, which I've had for 18 months, that's 10% at best.

This seems like exactly what some commenters were asking for in the "I Scanned Austria"[1] post 9 days ago. This seems like the digital version of checking for locked doors. Here in Montreal you can get a ticket for leaving your c

There's a strong argument for "$10/month is amazing for unlimited access to this entire catalog!" But I wonder how many songs or artists I actually listen to. Is it really that much more than I would if I were buying CDs

Here's the thing(s): 1. It's not just 1 type of ad. In Little Snitch, I have permitted Spotify to connect to 281 different domain names, most of which are ad-related. That's a lot of companies being allowed to run JS in whate

The accuracy isn't as great as existing systems, but it also can't be turned off by "the west." For consumers, if a device supports all the systems, (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou), would we be able to get greater ac

I thought it was something like that - it used to be owned by a conglomerate of major Canadian breweries, but through sales & mergers it's ended up as InBev & MolsonCoors. Yet they still have a near-monopoly on beer sales!

At least until April, a government website is the only legal way to buy pot in Ontario. Since they're selling it, they set the prices. In a lot of provinces the only legal way to get pot is through a government pot store. Alcohol works

This would actually cross the line. Right now there's a strong argument that Shortcuts is just acting as an images-only web browser, (like Lynx, but the opposite). If Apple actually copied the images to their own servers then they&#x27

It makes fairly logical sense. Neanderthals were fairly well-installed in Europe when modern humans appeared in Africa. As modern humans would have expanded northward into Europe, done their thing with the Neanderthals, (some breeding, lots
