I built a free map of sunshine hours for 3,833 places you can fly to

I build free map sites such as Trainrouter, Castlemap and Filmmap. The world sunshine map settles a question I could never answer properly. If I want sun in a particular month, where should I go?

It covers 3,833 destinations in 235 countries. Look up anywhere you are considering and you get its sunniest month, annual sunshine hours, and a month by month breakdown of temperature, rain and UV, plus sea temperature on the coast.

There are no ads and no sign up. It only covers places with an airport, so it is a map of where you can fly rather than every town.

Happy to answer anything and feedback is always welcome.

How do you maintain a phone number in different countries on the long-run ?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/72262564

Hi, so here's the situation : I need to access government services in a different country to the one I live in permanently, and therefore I need a number in said country with the ability to receive SMS for login and payment confirmations. How should I go about it ?

I guess the easiest thing to do would be to wait for the next time I go there and buy a cheap SIM card there. But the problem is I'm only going to that country in a year from now, so I'd like to speed up things.

I thought about getting an e-SIM with the lowest amount possible of data, but it still comes out pretty expensive for just receiving confirmation messages.

Anyone have a better idea on how to do this ? How do double citizens go about this usually ?

Traveling Beijing / China

Traveling to Beijing, China soon. Last time I've been there was... over 20 years ago. I loved it then and there's no reason I shouldn't now. But since so much has changed, I'm preparing for a kind of shock - or at least some very strong impact.

Any hot takes, tips, things to do, pay attention to?

For example: Which esim should one use? Are there some esims with unrestricted access to foreign resources? If not, would MulladVPN be a good choice? And what about payment via app?
