This is a great amount of #housing and #infrastructure
I hope that they are able to relocate this to a community or communities that could use it.
Sidenote, awesome to see #CBC using #OpenStreetMap rather than #GoogleMaps

BikeHouston's executive director said he believes Houstonians support more cyclist infrastructure -- not less. His comments came the day after Mayor Whitmire criticized the backlash from cyclist & pedestrian advocates over the Austin Street bike lane removal.
#Women put off #cycling by safety fears and intimidating drivers – study
Research by #CyclingUK finds female cyclists report more threatening incidents, as well as a lack of #infrastructure

State representatives heard arguments this week about a bill that would make it more difficult to construct high-speed rail projects in Texas -- including the long-planned bullet train between Houston and Dallas.
Houston residents can expect to see increases on their water bills starting in April as part of the city’s five-year plan to fund its sewer system repairs.

howdy, #hachyderm!
over the last week or so, we've been preparing to move hachy's #DNS zones from #AWS route 53 to bunny DNS.
since this could be a pretty scary thing -- going from one geo-DNS provider to another -- we want to make sure *before* we move that records are resolving in a reasonable way across the globe.
to help us to do this, we've started a small, lightweight tool that we can deploy to a provider like bunny's magic containers to quickly get DNS resolution info from multiple geographic regions quickly. we then write this data to a backend S3 bucket, at which point we can use a tool like #duckdb to analyze the results and find records we need to tweak to improve performance. all *before* we make the change.
then, after we've flipped the switch and while DNS is propagating -- 
-- we can watch in real-time as different servers begin flipping over to the new provider.
we named the tool hachyboop and it's available publicly --> https://github.com/hachyderm/hachyboop
please keep in mind that it's early in the booper's life, and there's a lot we can do, including cleaning up my hacky code. 
attached is an example of a quick run across 17 regions for a few minutes. the data is spread across multiple files but duckdb makes it quite easy for us to query everything like it's one table.

"A list circulating inside the #Energy Dept suggests cutting funding for the development of 4 hydrogen production hubs in mostly Dem-leaning states while maintaining funding for 3 hubs spread across mostly red states...
The cuts, if carried through, would politicize the federal funds that #Congress and the #Biden administration awarded to 7 regional applicants as part of the bipartisan #infrastructure law."

Ce matin double première :
* Intervenir au forum des Archivistes, après 4 participations
* Faire une intervention avec @LeuLeu
Merci à elle pour l'aventure, un joli temps partageé. Et voici un mini-site qu'elle a réalisé pour diffuser notre intervention de ce matin #AAFRennes2025 #Archives #STS #Infrastructure https://aldonzel.github.io/intervention-forum-AAF25/
Et je profite aussi pour remercier les personnes qui ont pu nous inspirer @jeromedenis @samgoeta @BertrandCaron
Curious if a service is down or undergoing #maintenance?
Stay in the loop with real-time updates at: https://status.opensuse.org
Your go-to hub for #openSUSE #infrastructure status.
@signalapp It's not #disinfo when one points out that you demand #PII aka. #PhoneNumbers from Users and that is literally a architectural vulnerability, alongside your #proprietary & #Centralized #Infrastructure.
Not to mention the lack of @torproject / #Tor support with an #OnionService or the willingness to fulfill #cyberfacist "Embargoes" or shilling a #Shitcoin #Scam named #MobileCoin!
And don't get me started on the #cyberfacism that is #CloudAct.
I may nit have allvthe.evidence yet, but #Signal stenches like #ANØM: #Honeypot-esque!
CenterPoint Energy is partnering with two technology companies to use artificial intelligence to help identify problems in its Houston-area power distribution system and prioritize repairs. A local energy expert expressed skepticism.
How will infrastructure work in an anarchist society?
I'm in agreement about the need to burn it all down now. I'm wondering how the survivors rebuild to basics.
I haven't read any anarchist theory or philosophy. I'm totally on board with mutual aid, which seems to me to be easy to enact for things like food, shelter, and clothing. Lots of people know how to forage and garden, repair and build structures, and turn raw fibers into something wearable.
Very few people know how to maintain or build water systems and electrical grids. Or make solar panels.
I've got hope, and want to learn about the way forward from people who've been thinking about this far longer than I have.

A solid review of Brandon Russell's sordid career, from Atomwaffen Division to prison to Terrorgram and back to prison, with a particular focus on his trial for plotting to destroy the power grid around Baltimore. He was found guilty on Feb. 3, and is looking at up to 20 years for that; sentencing is scheduled for June 17.
