  • This is not a subscription but a perpetual license and for my needs it’s already well worth the price they are asking. Using this actively with my wife but also sharing albums with about 8 other family members.

    I find the no-subscription model very attractive and I’m open minded to companies trying out new software licensing approaches. I like the idea of the developers getting paid for their good work and being able to do it full time.










  • Desktop: Macintosh (<X) -> Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome

    Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian

    I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.

    I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…


  • Yes, only European cities covered by Eurostat. I tried to cover this in the about section but it basically boils down to processing time, my own available time and to a lesser extent storage.

    It took me more than a week to process 2013-2023 for the included areas, which is roughly 10TB of raw imagery (with less than 60% cloud cover).

    The Eurostat urban extents, for the most part, delineate urban areas with a detailed vector dataset. This is something that I also couldn’t find on a global scale.

    I’m not decided yet on expanding the extents, which also depends on if people actually find this useful. However, it is open source (AGPL) so it can easily be forked and adapted.
