A celebration of the Cloud Optimized Geotiff (with its emoji) (COG). https://www.cogeo.org/ It is just a geotiff 'aimed at being hosted on a HTTP file server, with an internal organization that enables more efficient workflows on the cloud'

Why is it transformative? Because no more downloading huge files! at v3.2 can read -so just stream them in. How to find them using? Using STAC https://stacspec.org/en enabled catalogs. eg the STAC API Browser in plugins

Just a reminder about Mastodon.

Try not to directly upload videos here.
You have to remember that these videos have to be stored on the server that you're hosted on.

This would also eat up on available bandwidth, storage and memory resources of said servers and slow them down. Which would force server hosts to upgrade at a substantial cost.

Suggested idea...

Upload to YouTube, Vimeo or other video streaming services and share the link to the video here instead.

Twitter was really useful for finding people to write about. I’d often stumble across incredible stories of discovery, innovation and leadership. I hope #ScienceMastodon can be the same. If you come across extraordinary, inspirational #WomenInSTEM / researchers from other historically excluded groups, please let me know! #TwitterMigration

#Goodmorning mastodon 🌅- Hope you have a great #Monday! You got this! (I’m using some #coffee to help get the day started though) ☕️

Isn’t it great to #toot in peace?? and be friendly again? :)

Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.
