About Me
I work in IT, am a former student in the natural sciences and a casual geohasher from the 53,9 graticule, living near Pinneberg. I discovered Geohashing when going through all the comics chronologically, after discovering xkcd itself on the 15th Dec. 2021, but I lost track of it and only rediscovered it in June 2023. I will mostly hash alone whenever one is reasonably reachable by bike, car or public transport.
Technical equipment
- iPhone w/ Maps
- DJI Mini 2
- For those interested: In Germany, all drones which are not explicitly classified as toys need the following:
- A Haftpflichtversicherung (liability insurance) with explicit inclusion of damage done by drone.
- An e-ID from the LBA (Luftfahrtbundesamt, German federal aviation administration), which is free and just needs insurance and ID confirmation.
- A metallic sign on the drone with at least this e-ID. Name, phone number, etc. are optional.
- The max flight height is 120 m (400 ft).
- If your drone weighs less than 250 g (ca. 8.8 oz), nothing further is needed. For higher weights you need additional licenses and registrations.
