Trying to geocode some of my old holiday pictures with #immich

"LOG [Microservices:MapRepository] Empty response from database for city reverse geocoding lat: 64.978553, lon: -21.063319. Likely cause: no nearby large populated place (500 within 25km). Falling back to country boundaries."
Clearly, the queue has reached my picture…

Starting the day with going through the #bergwelten magazine once more. Sometimes I wish I'd knew the focal length of the photos.
Later we did two nice walks near #dietramszell and enjoyed spring and the sun. Wrist is also feeling better.
We saw really a lot of cyclists. But …

Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

I know that following a hashtag is part of the Mastodon protocol itself, but since I'm in @… the majority of the time - it feels like it would be cool to:
- Offer a "follow for a week" / month option
- "We'll ask you when time's up"

There’s something happening on the Web at the moment that almost feels like watching that old arcade game Space Invaders play out across our servers. Bots and scrapers marching in formation, attacking our servers wave after wave, systematically requesting page after page, relentlessly filling their data stores while we watch our access logs fill up.

Looks like someone broke @… again

It's almost as if someone might be interested in people not remembering things from the past...
