### AI overview

A personal account of recent and past talks and activities, including an accepted FOSS4G UK 2026 talk and a recap of a FOSS4G UK 2025 workshop on generating live vector tiles from PostGIS with pg_tileserv.

### Source excerpt

There has been a long gap between posts (again!), and a lot of the stuff that I'm going to talk about in this post is fairly old too. Oh well, life keeps getting in the way of blogging. Anyway, I've recently submitted a talk for the FOSS4G UK 2026 conference in Leeds in October, and [...]

### AI overview

This tutorial explains how to temporarily disable SSL verification for PROJ during coordinate reprojection when self-signed or misconfigured certificates cause downloads of conversion data to fail. It notes the security trade-off and points to setting a PROJ environment variable.

### Source excerpt

A friend was using GDAL's ogr2ogr command to import some data to PostGIS recently, and as part of the import they were doing a reprojection of the data. They got the following error: PROJ: Cannot open https://cdn.proj.org/uk_os_OSTN15_NTv2_OSGBtoETRS.tif: schannel: the certificate or certificate chain is based on an untrusted root They've had various SSL errors on [...]
