A new year a renewed #introduction

I am Dude, associated with the movie but there the comparison ends.

I’m a dad, #cat whisperer, #computer nerd, occasional #gamer, and #movie lover. I’m a #quality minded #professional and I make my own #homebrew beer. #freebsd. Enthousiast I love #fitness #walking #programming in #python and #3Dprinting. Busy with #homeassistant and more.
Ik spreek voornamelijk Nederlands, Engels een beetje Duits.

Some warnings about weather data when using -->
earth.nullschool.net

Text is:

#Weather and #climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (#NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather #forecasting, #hurricane #prediction, #ocean #observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its #satellites, #supercomputers, and research teams provide essential #data that help us understand our #planet and #protect #lives.

On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are #unethical and deeply #disruptive to the talented #scientists and #engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and #quality of #WeatherForecasts produced by the #UnitedStates. They must be reversed immediately.

Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be #disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline.

If this concerns you, speak up. Share on #SocialMedia. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives.

Update. From @hildabast: "What if We Can’t Rely on PubMed?"
absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/

"#PubMed is incredibly reliable…That said, between the risks of an exodus of key personnel, understaffing, or goodness-knows-what vandalism when a goon squad arrives at NIH, it’s not paranoid any more to think ahead to the once-unthinkable. What would PubMed enshittification look like? Could PubMed go down more often, and for longer? Might services no longer be free? How else could the #quality and #reliability of its services be degraded?"

Absolutely Maybe · What if We Can't Rely on PubMed? - Absolutely MaybePubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…

This morning, I put on my #shirt which says: "Pay the Maintainers".

I am looking for a #job and income while maintaining #foss projects for free.

In three weeks, I want to raise 2000£ - which is not much if you look in the industry - and I want the result to be freely available to everyone.

I am passionate about #community, high-#quality software and good #documentation to make it accessible. Let me know if you find that I can be of support for your project or team!

Since Steph began working with us, she has proofread every edition from 200 to 274. The difference is massive. Her dedication gave us confidence in our final edits. Any improvements in quality over the past year can largely be attributed to her efforts! #Quality #Newsletter

Interesting day here today, but this kept percolating in my head.

Read more about the coming #tarriffs

Chatted with a lady about her Toyota.

It all came to this:

In the 70's American cars were of poor #quality. Japanese cars had superior #engineering & production standards. The Japanese had listened to #Demming when the US did not.

Bumper stickers read "Buy American the job you save may be your own."

My response today:

"Build better products the job you save may be your own."
