It builds upon the ZIP format and is compatible with existing ZIP tools. The key feature of SOZip is that it’s a seekable archive format which means that you can decompress and read a file from the archive without having to download the entire archive.\nSOZip offers some excellent advantages for storing large datasets in the cloud:\nWe can combine multiple files into a single archive while storing them in object storage like S3."},{"title":"QGIS in the browser through JupyterHub","link":"https:\/\/sunu.in\/notes\/qgis-in-jupyterhub\/","pubDate":"Mon, 18 Dec 2023 20:20:37 +0530","guid":"https:\/\/sunu.in\/notes\/qgis-in-jupyterhub\/","description":"Turns out, running desktop GIS software in the browser is easier than I thought thanks to the Jupyter ecosystem.\nPeople have been using Jupyterhub for a while now to run notebooks on a remote server. It’s a great way to run code on a beefy machine without having to install anything on your local machine. When working with large datasets, this is a huge advantage since the server can run close to the data and you can access it from anywhere without having to download the data locally."}]}}
