thank you… more of a thought experiment now than a true need, but it seems like if it became a need, i’d be better off building a matrix account. i suspected this but had hoped for more :/

got my tech within the last year, was stunned at how not old-white-guy the class was. all age groups, balanced genders, mixed races. many seemed there for neighborhood emergency teams. the airwaves are dead most of the time i’ve turned the rig on, except during the net hour. i feared exactly what you’ve heard but thankfully haven’t run into it. yet.
it seems to me that flying drones into trees would be a massively expensive hobby

OSM has a lot more data inside than the website shows - in dense shopping areas you can’t zoom in far enough to see all the POIs, much less business names.
I’ve read before that using cached previews was done to stay accessible to less-powerful mobile devices, which would have smaller CPUs that would be taxed by rendering the native vector data. I view it as a branding disadvantage that OSM appears, from desktops, to have less info than alternatives. But that’s a battle that’s been had many times before, one might as well argue over paper vs plastic.
Welcome! I’m a new amateur in the States. Like you, I peek in here and find that at the moment, it doesn’t take long. The frog boil has worked quite well in Reddit; the frogs are staying in their pots even as enshittification becomes obvious (pro tip, it’s spelled IPO). Unlike you, I’m new enough that I have nothing worthwhile to contribute yet.
As for Mastodon, I’m on an instance with a 5k character limit. Some instances run modified versions known as glitch or hometown, which allow the admin to set a limit (well) above 500. I didn’t find a handy list of these easily, but a little searching in google or r/Mastodon may turn up ideas.
It’s a very heavy building - multiple stories in earthquake country, and I’m not on the top floor. Everything dies when I leave the nook with the windows. NOAA works literally only on the windowsill, TRACON almost never clears the noise floor once I’m not near the window, and I hear some smaller UHF repeaters away from the window but haven’t yet heard the 2m (it’s not super high traffic, so can’t say I haven’t just been unlucky).
We’re allowed on the roof and I’ve been up there, everything’s peachy. When I’m at the office downtown, I’m on a high floor, so I can pick up the 2m easily even though I’m on the other side of the building.
The main URL points to this:
it’s perhaps interesting to see what existing apps ZipoApps has on the Android Play Store.
cargo install mollysocket
mollysocket
executable if desiredmollysocket
once so that it will emit the default config.config/mollysocket/default-config.toml
and copy it somewhere.allowed_endpoints
line with allowed_endpoints = ['*']
. The default 0.0.0.0 config appears to be a bug; this setting controls access to endpoints within the app, not IPs from outside. Leaving the original value causes mollysocket to reject everything.db = './mollysocket.db'
line rather than just having it land wherever you’re sitting.mollysocket.db
that was created on first run (even if it’s already where you’re intending to put it). This is just to make sure the web server creates it and has the correct permissions.export ROCKET_PORT=8020
export RUST_LOG=info
export MOLLY_CONF=/path/to/your/config.toml
/
to your mollysocket server and ROCKET_PORT.i have this running now. i’m building instructions once i understand everything and it’s repeatable.
you probably already found this, but for others who might be curious:
in the settings if you change notification method from websocket to unified push, the UP settings come up, including a server address (which is what they intend to be used) or some air gap mode that i can’t find documented
again not foss so won't dwell at length — but i use fund manager from beiley software. commercial, but works double-entry and handles more investment complexity than a human could ever need. windows app, i run it under wine on linux and crossover on mac. (i don't own a windows box — that's how irreplaceable it was for me.)
so per wikipedia and confirmed at MDN, firefox is the only major browser line not to consider certificate transparency at all. and yet it's the only one that has given me occasional maddening SSL errors that have blocked site access (not always little sites, it's happened with amazon).
i don't understand how firefox can be simultaneously the least picky about certificates and the most likely to spuriously decide they're invalid.
Our map data is often downloaded and used offline on various devices for several weeks or months. For offline data to be useful, it should at least be expected to remain unchanged in the next few weeks when you map it.
yes, by this blurb, concession for offline users does supersede safety.
i’m an editor active enough to have been granted foundation membership but hadn’t known this rule; it indicates a view of osm as analogous to a paper map rather than for real-time navigation. if a change of less than weeks’ length is discouraged, i can’t in good conscience steer my friends away from google maps, as navigation is not a primary use case.
looks great! the catch for me is that my current host doesn’t have docker support. your dependencies don’t look crazy so in theory i could burst it and install directly to the host environment, but at that point i’m giving myself grocy-level headaches.
reading about docker-capable hosts, i was surprised to see them starting at 1GB RAM - i couldn’t run pac-man in that. what would be a reasonable expectation for kitchenowl?
i haven’t tried the docker route - it seems fairly new. it also doesn’t seem like it would fix the issues i ran into. containerization is great for insulating the app from external dependency hell and environmental variation. but the problems i’ve had involve its own code and logic, and corruption of a sqlite database within its own filesystem; wrapping issues like that in a docker container only makes them harder to solve
osmand has great map support. real-time nav for transit isn’t an osm strength - i haven’t seen an osm app that integrates live traffic or transit
I’m torn, because on the one hand, yes! — the hour I spent figuring out which PGP XEP was the right one is an hour I won’t get back. But, “only the XEPs you need to implement for a modern messaging application, ignoring historical cruft and excessive backwards-compatibility” sounds so much like the beginning of an extend-and-extinguish cycle.
