I participated in the OsmAnd anniversary quiz and now I've won 3 months of OsmAnd pro... Except that:
- I don't need it, as I use the full version from F-Droid
- despite that, I somehow still pay a monthly fee to them. (I'm actually not sure who pays that bill though 🤷 )
In other words, send me a PM if you want three months of OsmAnd Pro.
The manual on how to activate is here: https://osmand.net/promo/manual/#english-version
You'll need either an Apple or Google account for this.

@npub1kut…c7av @npub1uyx…dmcm Well, this is actually one of the better ideas TBH. Namecoin was one of the first crypto-projects, alongside bitcoin itself.
The 'parsing' isn't too much of a problem TBH. There are data structures that are efficient enough; and one could create a 'summary block' every now and then that contains most of the information (reducing the need to keep a history).
I was very interested into the crypto space around 2013/2014 and still see _some_ valid usecases, but they are rare

I have re-added the aria-live which both reads distance to the map center _and_ to the current location. Pressing tab will also iterate through closeby features and tell their distances

@npub132s…cg3n Ok, you triggered me
It's quite sad that this junkyard has a better urban network then an average americal city or suburb:
- it has a dense, organic road network
- all amenities are close to each other
- there is plenty of room for shortcuts for soft mobility (pedestrians and cyclists); there are little dead ends
- the organic forms encourage car traffic to go slowly
I'm only doubting about public transport, but I do see some busses though

One of the conclusions: someone made _more_ changesets then me using MapComplete then myself! This is the first year that someone completely outmaps me.
Who is this person and how many changesets did they make? You'll find out when I'm publishing the 'year in review' article! Stay tuned...

@npub1lah…mr52 Looks really nice, but overlaps with #Bornhack and it looks quote German-speaking. As I don't speak German, I'm a bit afraid I won't get most of the activities, so I'll pass.

@npub1nyd…mj54 To bad I missed this! Otherwise, I would have used https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance to add and update the data about #surveillance cameras directly on #OpenStreetMap...

@npub1636…p5mk Ooh! I will pass by! I'll also do an 'Introduction to #OpenStreetMap' tomorrow, in the Hardware Hacking Area.
Also, I forgot to bring my heap of stickers, but I see that you have plenty to hand out. I might temporarily move a stash to my intro session.

I had the (questionable) honor just now to receive one of those infamous "fahrgastrechte-formular"...

@npub1neh…rshd This could be either a scam attempt (e.g. someone shipping you something malicious 'by accident' which they'll then come to pickup OR they will demand money from you because 'you got something and still need to pay for it'.) Or this is an AI which predicted what you will order next week. I remember a story from quite a few years back, where Amazon tried to ship you a book before you ordered, if it's AI was nearly sure you'd buy it anyway. Then it would arrive magically the next day.

Is something wrong with nominatim.openstreetmap.org? It does a _lot_ of timeouts for me.
I'm currently testing a feature which relies heavily on (reverse) geocoding, so I switched to a nominatim instance from @npub1exr…w2pa for now, but I can't use that one in production.
