@straphanger@urbanists.social We're just back from two weeks Slovenia… with start+end being the Nightjet from Brussels to Vienna (and back). Smooth trip!

@crk5@aus.social Sorry, we're not exporting chocolates for the time being… we need them at home for our celebrations! Baths and fountains of chocolate. Chocolate robots. Houses. Footballs.

@samlitzinger@journa.host I read “KY Democratic Senate candidate says voters deserve ‘honest answer’ about McConnell’s death” and I thought I had missed some breaking news.

I’m late to the game but allow me to post this photo of my cat.

@mjambon These things I don't know — I'm only a fan of the site, but I'm not maintaining it, sorry…

@mjambon You can always make the georeferencing of these "correct" maps even more correct, by using this editor: https://editor.allmaps.org/#/ (It's a rabbit hole… I'm spending way too much time there georeferencing and correcting old (local) maps…)

Using GPS on old city maps 🗺️ There used to be a canal where this big white office building is now. I’ve taken this photo from the location of the pink dot on the map. How to place your GPS location on an old map near you: https://www.verbeeld.be/2024/11/17/using-gps-in-the-year-1565/ This specific map of Antwerp can be found here: https://here.allmaps.org/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fannotations.allmaps.org%2Fmaps%2Fc3cc246df5ba4455 #maps #allmapshere #cartography #georeferencing

@mrundkvist But so much fun too! I've learned so much about my own city by georeferencing these old maps I found online…

Using GPS in the year 1565

There’s a wonderful web app (“Allmaps Here”) that shows your GPS location on old maps. I love it.

@whatsjo@mstdn.social It's like a _malfunctioning_ robotic basketball hoop!
