Having worked with EURDEP data in the past I'm a big fan of governments publishing the radiological data they collect publicly: https://remap.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Advanced.aspx

Two cameras, CPU usage is very low (NPU spikes when there’s movement). I suspect I could add more without too many problems.

I have it running on an Orange Pi 5 with the Rockchip NPU, very impressed with that being supported and working so well for object detection.

You'd use the hx-delete attribute and have a server side handler that responded to that by deleting the item & returning a new list of items. You can see an example of that approach (with Rust + Actix Web) here that I'm currently working on (the partial to list todo items is in templates, and you can follow the delete link to the relevant handler in routes/todo/delete.rs):

It appears that EURDEP (European Radiological Data Exchange Platform) data isn't being shared with the public at the moment. I'm not sure if this is because of the war, this attack in particular, or if they're having problems with their infrastructure due to people like me wondering what's going on.

Their simple map (https://remap.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Simple.aspx) shows the last update as being 03/03/22 22:00 UTC, but selecting a station doesn't give any current or historic readings.

The advanced map (https://remap.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Advanced.aspx) doesn't display any data for me.

Re:Time to run or time to walk? Your body knows the answer on Tuesday February 15, 2022 @10:27AM (#30347693)
I didn't follow any training plans to get up to the half marathon distance. Once I'd finished the C25K plan I decided to see what 10K felt like and it was ok... did a few of those and then tried 15K. At that point I figured I could do a half and entered one. Although I didn't follow a plan I do keep an eye on my GPS watch to see what pace I'm doing - if I'm planning a long run I'll hold back the pace from what I know I can run so I don't tire myself out.

I think training plans depend a lot on what you're wanting to do - I just wanted to complete the distance; I could probably do it faster with a proper training plan but I've found running without worrying about time (too much) to be enjoyable (and I have still got respectable results for my age).

Couch to 5K (C25K) is another run/walk training program, which is very popular here in the UK. Even the NHS (https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-we...) promotes it.

I started with a C25K plan in November 2020 and ran my first half marathon in October 2021. I'm looking at marathons now, it's changed my level of fitness far more than I could imagine.

I wonder how the licensing issue referenced in the Wikipedia article is handled in the UK. I imagine Ofcom will have had to approve and license these installations, or will they have made these exempt (I can't find any evidence of this)?

This was used in the recent rescue in Wales [0]. I seem to recall a colleague telling me years ago (in about 2000) that he got stuck in a cave once (somewhere in South Wales I think) due to unexpected rain causing flooding and there was a phone available that could be used to request rescue (or to tell people you were going to sit it out).

It's quite often used this way in Wales. It makes a lot more sense when you realise that borrow and lend both translate to "benthyg" in Welsh.
Re:Do political stickers work? (2020) on Thursday September 02, 2021 @04:29AM (#28389800)
In Wales you can't go anywhere without seeing Yes Cymru stickers, to the point that unionist politicians complain about them; I'd say they're working here.

There's some interesting post election anaylsis that picks up on this (in Wales at least). There's a view [0][1] that while results are bad for Plaid, they're getting a lot of what they want, and shifting the window on the most important issue (independence). In addition to UBI, it's interesting that Welsh Labour have started the push for "home rule" [2], something that is likely to win them a lot more votes from traditional Plaid Cymru supporters.

One of the satellites launched was for amateur radio; at the time of this comment it doesn't look like anybody's heard anything from it:
