  Have just discovered https://ausbug.app/ltsmap which provides riding map / route planning with roads/paths marked based on stress factors. Setting the map to low stress only is uh.... very telling. fucking hell toorak. I've tried generating a few routes and it does an _ok_ job. its certainly a good starting point if you are trying to find a good cycling route for the first time.

  So I blocked some IP address on the sondehub waf. Hopefully not related to the ground stop.

  amazing. my mac went flat and when I started it up again the entire screen just showed the background. I couldn't see any apps. no dock, no menu. through SSHing into it I found that the iconserviceagent was broken. Running the following: sudo rm -rfv /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store and killing iconserviceagent resolved the issue. It seems every app in macos, including spotlight, preferences, terminal, menu bar, dock, finder all hang when icon service can't generate icons....

  Fun little discovery / future research. When riding with @alexhelvetica@cloudisland.nz today, our activities both showed that we had max speed of more than 90km/hr. We both use speed sensors, not GPS. Both activities recorded the speed glitch at the same location. I told @DropTableFoxes@social.stackunderflow.com about it and they mentioned their e-bike freaks out at a certain intersection around there from time to time. I went through all my activities searching for max speed irregularities and...

  so every hour SondeHub is seeing a blip of requests spike. Nothing we can't handle. They look like normal browsers - though a splattering of user agents listed. I say normal because they load the requests very close to a normal page load would. All from the same network block. They then query for radiosonde serial numbers we have never seen. What is going on here. Whatever this person / agent is trying to do could be done in such a simpler way that costs us less money.

  Any speed camera that gets over 1 million in fines issued should dedicate the money towards redesigning the infrastructure to prevent/reduce speeding. Clearly fining people isn't working and the risk should be engineered away.

  The digital detox for students highlights the harm online services can do. But rather than removing the harm from those services we are just going to remove some of the users during some hours during some days. Problem solved once and for all.

  A lot of people pretending like trillions of dollars lost on the stock market is normal and won't have any sort of real world impact. Sure sometimes it bounces back, sometimes it doesn't though.

  not sure where my old thread was so starting a new one. I skipped out on the winter commuter cup season, but they started try outs for the summer series this morning. Managed to get on my bike and get a time in. They've placed me provisionally in group E which is one back from where I was last year, but that's fair. Group E training day happened to also be today so had to put in a few more km in the evening. Looking forward to more early mornings and evening rides and the commuter cu...

  uh, getting so frustrated with sondehub stuff. Been trying to build out some new API end points to make searching for old radiosondes quicker and easier however been just hit with so many little support things or trying to figure out the next thing thats burning dollars, triggering errors or causing high usage. Today's latest is an oracle IP address that is hitting our API with URL parameters that don't make any sense. No big deal but it's racked up 3 million requests in like a day....
