In about a week I'll be talking about #Meshtastic (a popular decentralised off-grid mesh-networking protocol) in the context of communications fallback during and after disasters. If you are in the quake-prone Pōneke/Wellington or Hutt Valley region, this is especially for you!

People who work on DevOps, SRE, sysadmin and other infra topics, what OS do you use at work (for your workstation, not for your servers/containers/etc)?

Boosts welcome to get past my bubble of friends!

The #Trump admin's decision to slash nearly all #US #ForeignAid has left dozens of #water & #sanitation projects half-finished across the globe, creating new hazards for some of the people they were designed to benefit, Reuters has found.

Reuters has identified 21 unfinished projects in 16 countries after speaking to 17 sources familiar with the #infrastructure plans. Most of these projects have not previously been reported.

Massive infrastructure project ahoy....

Tunnels connecting the islands of Shetland (taking an inspiration from the Faroe Islands tunnel network) look like an amazing opportunity for the islands.

Whether it will come off is another issue, but for now it looks like amazing project

A grey car enters a tunnel, driving past red "no pedestrian" and "no cyclist" roadsigns. The tunnel disappears into a grassy hillside. A blue and white radio station information sign reads "FM 100.0".

While out cycling I also snapped a quick photo of some train infra in progress. This is just north of the new large logistics terminal being constructed at La Llagosta as part of the Ten-T Mediterranean Corridor. Reports say it's to open in 6 months.

(It also happens to be in a spot where there is a gap in the cycle infra that requires carrying your bike to go under the tracks as they go over a mostly dry river bed. It would be great if they put some way to safely get from La Llagosta to Mollet that doesn't require either a massive detour or joining a busy road while they were at it.)
