  • Can’t speak for OP, but I was hoping there was a straightforward front end out there to play with variations on a theme - my own use case would be plotting the next 5-25 years. Something like “How many miles do I strictly need to move to have a reasonable chance of temps <= 80 F on all but the most brutal handful of August days?”

    Basically, I figure that at this point in life I’ve got 1-2 more short/medium-term moves in me at most, and zero desire to ever do it again after I retire (assuming that I can/do). For the lay crowd, there’s not really a way to flip through projections.

    Not averse to trying to come up with a way to do it in QGIS, just don’t want to reinvent the wheel if there’s a straightforward site out there already doing it.



  • I call BS - with notable exceptions for a particular omnipresent retail chain whose ToS was recently updated so they could do substantial tracking of your traffic.

    A company I work with is wholesale migrating both internal and external accounts to a third-party auth provider in whom I have very little faith. That is a concerning security risk.

    Using open wifi hotspots is hardly a best practice in any world, of course, but I’m hard-pressed to believe that it takes precedence over, say, ticking the boxes on NIST CSF or PCI compliance. Or just plain old “shoulder surfing” which has always been a risk in public, but becomes much more concerning given we all have a computer screen in our hand constantly and it’s often full of data useful to someone with ill intent.

    They might not get your pw or 2FA codes, but knowing your username is plenty for them to convincingly call you later, pretending to be from the bank. “Now that you’ve changed your pw, the system will send one extra 2FA code to your device as a test. Please read me the code when the text message comes in.”
