Seen perusing #MeFi today: #Cheese! https://cheesemap.netlify.app/

Grids for milk vs texture, rind treatments, molds both internal and external, processing techniques, aging durations, etc.

And notable gaps where particular styles are feasible but don't exist yet.

The Cheese Map — Charting the Combinatorial Space of Cheesemaking

An interactive reference mapping every intersection of milk, texture, rind, aging, and technique in cheesemaking — revealing where cheeses exist, where they're rare, and where the gaps are.

So status.metafiler.com says that it should be up, but downforeveryone says it's down and when I try to reach it directly I get a cloud flare garbled error page.

I was lucky enough to be included in @kattullus.bsky.social's Metafilter.com #StarterPack... it's a rare thing to be able to say "one of my favourite places on the web for over 20 years" but with #MeFi, that is entirely true.

If you like maps and jigsaws - and let's be honest, who doesn't? - then try Scrambled Maps. It's a game where you unscramble a map of a city by moving tiles around to the right order. One city each day. Today's city is Damascus and I unscrambled the map in 20 moves.

This request by @real_jamescain for obscure book recommendations is definitely turning up suggestions I have never heard of. Am amplifying by also posting the question to Ask #MetaFilter :
