With my switch to vector maps, the dramatically reduced storage requirements now allow to have maps for whole countries on my Smartphone.

The survey offices of many countries now offer vector maps, so I adopted my previously raster map based hiking maps to use these vector maps.

In part I of this series of three posts, I introduced you to the benefits of using vector map data vs. raster map data.

In this last (and longest) part of the Superatlas-goes-vector-series I’ll explain how to influence the process of selecting OSM data and adding them to the vector layers.

I was always mildly concerned of the brute force logon attempts to my blog.

With a Raspberry Pico, I monitor my Sony amplifier from the 90s and my 2013 Dell monitor, and switch on my NUC-based media center if any of these devices are switched on.

I created a script that runs via cron job that will power off my media center if it is not in use, but will program the real time clock (RTC) on the motherboard to wake up the system in time to run a scheduled recording, and/or to update the EPG data, and…

My Raspberry Pi 4 based media center has some issues, which I was able to resolve by switching to an Intel NUC8i3BEH platform.

Capacitative soil moisture sensors based on this DFRobot-design (and its successors) can be found in numerous blog articles about irrigation automation.
