The visualisations of all the paths is quite eye opening. I hadn't realised there are such significant tidal currents through the channel.

It's an unfortunate side effect that the domain name has his name highlighting it.
Per the small text at the bottom of the poster I would say they are based on shipment volumes -so how much is available. The lighter colour probably indicates variation depending on how good the growing season is
Re:Findings Report on the July 8th Telstra Outage [pdf] on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @02:37AM (#49532535)
>This chassis was located in Melbourne and it was part of the mobile core timing architecture and was designed to provide stratum 2 and stratum 3 NTP services. When this server went back on line (at 2:50am), the GPS card in the chassis had reset during the change and began sending the incorrect date from 2006 into the network. The GPS card was actively used in that chassis and was missing a critical firmware update that was required to prevent this shift in time due to a known GPS rollover that was published in bulletins by the supplier. While the planned change of the NTP server chassis was the trigger point to begin the Outage, the steps leading to that point go back many years, as far back as 2020.

The core issue however was accumulation of technical debt (architectural changes in how timing systems were managed were not being tracked) and not recognising NTP as a sovereign system that needed to be properly managed.

That's a pretty bold claim.

We're expecting a dry and hot spring and summer this year in Australia (and our winter has been milder than average to boot). https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-31/nsw-el-nino-weather-e...

It doesn't seem it is showing the tilt for Earth correct. When I zoom in for around now, the North Pole is in full sun rather than mid Winter. (I'm in Australia so I don't know if it is somehow using my local timezone wrongly)
Actually I have heard the exact opposite of what you are stating is true. Both Google and Apple fight very hard to avoid handing data to authorities. They don't want to be seen as some sort of easy conduit to government surveillance or shill. How does that benefit their reputation? I know of one case where Google spent millions on lawyers fighting government wanting access to an activist's email. Their FAQ here makes their policy pretty clear. https://support.google.com/transparencyreport/answer/9713961...
