Stupid question, but CORS is designed explicitly to defend against this type of side-surf attack. Adding a strict cors policy should fix this, or am I missing something?

My forgejo-server ran on a broken fiber for a few weeks - we're talking about speeds in the single kilobits/s. It kept up fairly well! Pushes and pulls would still kinda work, actions not so much (but that's cause it needed t

Even better: if the build is reproducable, it guarantees that the source code of the repo is the same as the version that is distributed by FDroid.

Except that it got around 2.9K reviews by now, which is more then you have right now. Furthermore, we shouldn't further fragment the few open source review efforts we have. Many OSM apps will also be reluctant to adopt a closed source

Wait, what? Please don't do that, use mangrove.reviews instead please. They use clear CC-BY-SA licenses; MapComplete.org uses it Bluesky _will_ enshittify sooner or later

As such a maintainer: you hit the nail on the head. Add to that an infinite stream of bug reports and feature requests, and it gets tiring. I don't even have the time to answer all bug reports...

OpenRailwayMap is OpenStreetMap-data, it just highlights the railway data and hides the other data.

Another way to contribute is my project https://mapcomplete.org I'm trying to build a somewhat generic map view, which features many thematic maps (e.g. shops, restaurants, bicycle pumps, toilets, ...) Most data comes from

It depends on what exactly you want. Google Maps does more then just being a map, such as navigation, streetview, reviews,... In either case, I've heard quite some people being in love with Qwant Maps. And I try to get to build special

It sounds an awful lot like "Maiden Voyage" (the instrumental version) by the clockwork dolls, but not quite.

To be a bit blunt: I don't feel the need to have yet another centralized meetup tool. I'd rather have federated tools such as Gancio ( https://gancio.org/ ) or Mobilizon ( https://mobilizon.org/en&#x2

Bullshit. Regulation is what has a bogger influence. Within the group of consumers, there will always be only a small (if not neglible) fraction that does care and has the means for a boycott. A bit of organized activism can force regulatio

Thanks! Niantec started as a startup within Google's startup incubator and thus used Google Maps in the very beginning. However, they got 'spun out' and when the price became to expensive, they switched to OSM anno 2017. (I&#

Pokemon go already is based on OpenStreetMap. And yes, a few OSM-contributors started because a park was missing and they thus lacked a spawnpoint for pokemons. But we've also head plenty of teens adding fake data to have pokemons in t

Oh, you're flattering me! First time someone called it 'light and fast', it can be an underperforming, buggy piece of software at times! And I spent quite some time getting it somewhat fast - not to mention that my caching se

It's more complicated then that. For the U.S.: the urban sprawl and urban planning makes it impossible to not use a car for many people. The old, European cities have a bigger chance to go carfree. Some are actively working to it (e.g.

Maybe we want it to be a niche place? Also, the effect of Google's presence on XMPP was huge, see https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-netwo...
