I want to remotely turn on a computer back home; what would be the requirements considering it has internet connection but not a dedicated up probably 🤔 Due to time zone waking people to turn it on not feasible 😅

We will be moving soon to central Germany. Luckily the climate is not quite as bad as anticipated compared to other places I've lived. Total precipitation: #qgis #gischat

I've been working some more on the Caucasus map: - increased terrain generalization - hillshade highlights with yellowish tint - tweaked land cover colors - blurred land cover raster #qgis #gischat #maps #workinprogress

@NwwYuanyuam Mostly. I made parts of the terrain shading with pyramid shader and raster chunk processor. All #FOSS 😊

@MathiasGroebe Thank you. The terrain is generalized (but rather subtle) since I was going for a "DRAMATIC TERRAIN" look. (Also, the final output will be a 1-2m large format print). But I will try out a more generalized version as well 😊
