An open-source tool for reading OpenStreetMap PBF files using DuckDB.

  • Scalable reader for OpenStreetMap ProtoBuffer (pbf) files.
  • Is based on top of DuckDB1 with its Spatial2 extension.
  • Saves files in the GeoParquet3 file format for easier integration with modern cloud stacks.
  • Utilizes multithreading unlike GDAL that works in a single thread only.
  • Can filter data based on geometry without the need for ogr2ogr clipping before operation.
  • Can filter data based on OSM tags.
  • Utilizes caching to reduce repeatable computations.
  • Can be used as Python module as well as a beautiful CLI based on Typer4.

Oh, I was a li’l frustrated not knowing how to send F7 and the other function keys on Termux but it’s more awesome than I could’ve ever dreamed of.

It uses the volume keys!

httptap is a process-scoped http tracer that you can run without root priveleges. You can run httptap <command> where <command> is a linux program and you get a trace of http/https requests and responses in standard output.

It works by running <command> in an isolated network namespace. It has its own TCP/IP stack (for which it uses gVisor). It is not an HTTP proxy and so does not rely on <command> being configured to use an HTTP proxy. It decrypts TLS traffic by generating a CA on the fly. It won’t install any iptables rules or make other global system changes.

Command-line software which adds ANSI color to its output by default should check for a NO_COLOR environment variable that, when present and not an empty string (regardless of its value), prevents the addition of ANSI color.

I use this for my self-defined ZSH functions, but It can be used for other things I guess too!
