# Prepare world data

# First up, we need to load the built-up area data that we’re going to be plotting. We download this from the European Commission’s Global Human Settlement Data portal [https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/datasets.php] — specifically using the links from this page [http://cidportal.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ftp/jrc-opendata/GHSL/GHS_BUILT_LDSMT_GLOBE_R2015B/]. We want the 250m-resolution rasters for 1975 and 2015 (GHS_BUILT_LDS1975_GLOBE_R2016A_54009_250 and GHS_BUILT_LDS2014_GLOBE_R2016A_54009_250).

# Once you’ve downloaded these (they’re BIG, so might take a little while...), we can save ourselves a lot of hassle later on by re-projecting them into the same co-ordinate space as the other data we’re going to be using. Specifically we want to change their units from metres to lat/lon. We do this by:
# 1) Unzipping the archive, and then
# 2) Running the following script on the command-line:

# gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 -tr 0.01 0.01 path/to/your/built-up-area.tif path/to/your/built-up-area_reprojected.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

Storytelling from Space: Tools/Resources

This list of resources is all about acquring and processing aerial imagery. It's generally broken up in three ways: how to go about this in Photoshop/GIMP, using command-line tools, or in GIS software, depending what's most comfortable to you. Often these tools can be used in conjunction with each other.
