I'm in Germany and I have a Geiger counter running 24/7. I just looked at the data for January and February and the only thing that I notice is a VERY slightly higher reading on February 4th with 0.1727 microSievert/hour. Average for January was 0.1674, lowest was 0.1631, highest was 0.1703. So February 4th was less than 6% higher than the lowest value from January.
The difference was so small that I had just attributed it to normal fluctuations when I first saw it. Whatever caused this, so far it looks like it was a very small event.
I could probably provide a CSV-file with the raw data if anyone is interested. My Geiger counter stores a value every 5 minutes.
Let's see if I got that right: Specification says I must load the AMP script from cdn.ampproject.org?
If yes, then there is no effing way that I will ever use this. I will NOT use something that forces me to load scripts from a host that I have no control over. Does nobody see what a HUGE security risk that is???
FWIW... I just logged in to my Yahoo Account and removed the security questions. Just to be sure. I had already changed my password a few months ago when first rumors of this came up. I'm pretty sure that the option to remove the security questions wasn't there back then.
With the exception of the blog. That is written in Node.js. I did that as a way to learn Node.js. But as soon as I find some time I'll rewrite that in Pascal too.
I suggest not to use AWS if you know that you'll need a server 24/7. Old-school hosters which offer dedicated servers are much cheaper for that use-case.
There are several offers here in Europe where you can get an i7-6700, 64gb RAM and 1tb SSD for less than €60/month. AWS would cost you at least 3-4x as much. You'll lose the flexibility of AWS, but save a ton of cash.
Have you ever in real life hear someone say "If 80kg is less than your weight, then you are overweight."
Probably not. We say: "If your weight is more than 80kg then you are overweight."
When talking we are used to first mention "x", and after that the numerical value we compare it to. No matter if it's less than or larger than what we want to compare it to.
If you swap these around, then whoever listens to you - or reads your code - will take a few seconds longer to understand what you mean.

The timestamps are in UTC+2. I keep the clock in the Geiger counter on daylight savings time. Too lazy to change it. :)
