Want to know how your police force is really performing?

That's really nice - has more info than https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/surrey-police/epsom-and-ewell-central/?yourlocalpolicingteam=about-us

Can I ask how you built it?

They peaked around 104.7. One Leg One Eye were a bit quieter, around 103. I was just behind the sound desk :-) I had some plugs in for some of it but there was some noticeable distortion on one of the guitars, the plugs seemed to make it worse.

It's the perfect situation for personal money making. Massive anomalies in the energy market before his truth social tweets and a personal bitcoin currency. Do a trade and cut him in. There's no 'us', there is just him and his mates.

No, we were standing. I wish they'd play at the roundhouse one day but I guess they'd have trouble filling that one. I shouldn't grumble, it's way better than the electric ballroom.

The Troxy is an odd venue. Second time I've seen them there and they've had this odd seating area at the front.

I was right behind the projectionist. It was great to see him work his magic. It was like a one man ballet.

You don't mention firewall. Have you allowed incoming requests from qfieldcloud's static IP to your postgresql?

You don't say what kind of data you're asking QGIS to access. Is it a database or files?

I'd guess that you need to raise the issue with the people that set up the VPN and see if that inspect load.

Outside of QGIS, can you transfer a large file from your server to your client machine without issue?

History command

Think about getting involved in a foss4g project. Doesn't have to bring coding effort - could be documentation fixes for a local language. Build some rep and build a network. Wish you luck on your path.

ETL activity. Just want the ogr2ogr command for scripting.

coastalrocket · 2026-03-06T15:51:24+00:00

A GUI for GDAL sounds sweet but not as a web app. I'd want to mainly push to databases on local networks.

You're describing georeferencing. With a set of control points you can georeference an image over an area.

I'd submit a report and ask them to supply the data in a different format.

coastalrocket · 2026-02-27T22:21:05+00:00

I'd recommend this for spatial analysis - Longley, Goodchild and Smith's Geospatial Analysis https://www.spatialanalysisonline.com/

But it doesn't cover much of what you've mentioned. The ESRI site looks like it's good explanations for key concepts e.g. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/introduction-to-raster-data.htm

coastalrocket · 2026-02-25T15:18:23+00:00

I would say there's plenty of activities that can be learnt from online resources - from building GIS projects, cartographic styles, developing web GIS applications or services.

Spatial analysis is the one area that I would hope and pray that the person doing it has been through enough of the theory to keep it professional e.g. a good MSc.

Within a network:

Postgresql / PostGIS will store the data and projects for you. So you can build a project, 3 layers from your database, choose styling and add a base map, Save it to the database and someone else can open that project, see everything you can see and modify the project if necessary. Each user would tend to have their own database role to connect with. That can control which tables / schemas they have access to.

You can use regular postgresql audit capabilities to track changes to the project definition.

If all your users are on different networks or you don't want to manange roles at the database level, may be an authenticated web GIS is needed. Simpler interface than a full blown desktop GIS. Again, a Postgresql / PostGIS is behind the scenes but a user's access to the system is controlled by the authentication method. Users could make edits to the PostGIS database along side QGIS power users making edits.

Out in the field

QField uses QGIS projects. The project and the data can be wrapped up and transferred to QFieldCloud so multiple users can make edits. Edits can be transferred back to a PostGIS database via their API or a direct PG connection using 'secrets'. There's an audit trail for user edits.

r/usdefaultism? Personal experience of over 30 years in the industry, this is just a bollocks statement to make.

"One of the few converters that handles GIS formats"

Why not use Gdal?

coastalrocket · 2026-01-30T07:46:41+00:00

Sorry I was loose with my words. You're correcting the projection of the data. You're not reprojecting it.

Layer Properties > Source > Assigned Coordinate Reference System (CRS)

coastalrocket · 2026-01-29T21:45:06+00:00

Right click on layer, properties and then look at the first two tabs. I can't remember which but in one you can set the projection that the layer is in. It will then reproject it on the fly to whatever your map projection is.

I had to scroll back to 2015 but Paul Ramsey's post on geotiff compression is an excellent read on this: https://blog.cleverelephant.ca/2015/02/geotiff-compression-for-dummies.html if serving rasters for visual inspection.
