Gregory's ServerTo find out where the forest forest fires are in Canada, you have two options:
- A twitter account, that requires you to sign in to access.
- A javascript heavy map that takes forever to load, and will 50/50 crash the pinebook
This is pretty great.

@emaytch lucky you'll never be in a hurry when needing to access that information.  @neauoire i know this shouldn't be needed, but is nitter (for example https://nitter.nl/) fine to access the twitter account unlogged? @neauoire I've been in canada for only a year and half, so I'm definitely ignorant in that regard, but is the 2nd one you're mentioning https://firesmoke.ca/ ? If not, their FAQ provide a technical description of their system and source; would that help? https://firesmoke.ca/resources/bsc-2014-description.pdf @florian That's the site yes, the information needed for this isn't included in that pdf(that I recall), but in the bluesky API docs, which unfortunately don't work too well on my system atm. I'm hoping that I can look into it this winter when we have more bandwidth |
@neauoire there's something similar here in washington state, in order to see the evacuation (!!) map you have to either sign up with an account through apple or google, microsoft or yahoo: https://cohost.org/iliana/post/2240028-there-is-a-massive
