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.

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.
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
/

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
if your threat model were ‘encrypt everything at rest’, invitations to people outside your own service would be tricky as they have to be machine-readable text in a specific format. i’m sure it’s possible but you’d have to be specific in looking for that as a feature.
my needs are more modest - don’t store email in GAFAM or particular regimes - and i use runbox, which is bog-standard except for being stored somewhere else, being paid, and having slightly more homely webapps. using ‘evolution’ on linux, a bog-standard email program that’s also a bit more homely than alternatives, invitations go out to whomever i choose and look normal. i make recurring events for myself all the time and remove individual occurrences. i’ve added on ical subscriptions for things like country holidays, which are the first thing you’ll notice missing when you leave outlook.
the mail’s just imap and the calendar’s just caldav. when you get into providers that don’t provide imap or caldav for (valid) security reasons, that’s when you’re more likely to get integration issues with regular people.
i’m shopping for mp3 players for precisely this reason - a friend has an ipod touch that abruptly stopped scrobbling. the last.fm app is stuck in a loop sucking battery. and she needs bluetooth anyway. she has always kept music and phone separate but now we have to ask the five whys on that before getting her a new unfamiliar gadget.
well i feel stupid now for not doing the obvious. but…

on the PPA box, this is what it showed me (meanwhile it was attempting to connect to incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org). another symptom of displaying respect for enterprise policies but in fact ignoring them. (as i had mentioned, on this box all of the settings look locked down as they should be, but it’s still attempting to send telemetry.)
thanks, i’ll look again. it’s not that i love the idea of being fingerprinted; i just think that five mylar bags, four tin hats and a partridge in a pear tree won’t save me from that. i need my password manager, and once that’s in, enforcing a generic screen is silly - cow’s out of the barn. but not having the arms race against pocket and telemetry would be a big bonus.
i did try that but the never-dark mode blinded me. i understand the reasoning, but absolute anonymity isn’t my own threat model; i’d like to be able to use themes and resize the window
an interesting oddity: on my non-rooted xperia, signal thinks that i don’t have play services and so it falls back to… polling. every five minutes. killing my battery and my logs.
i had to put signal into the restricted battery group, which means no notifications. i anxiously await the new molly, as i already have a unified push environment. it looks like the migration will be a bit delicate.
neo store refuses to run if you don’t grant it the right to send notifications and bypass battery optimizations. if an app demands a permission and doesn’t have a plausible explanation why it needs it, i don’t keep it :/
imo magic earth is a navigation app, full stop. it does that amazingly well, including live traffic, but i wouldn’t use it for anything else. organic maps is a better general-purpose map but isn’t a patch on magic earth for nav.
i am not sure it’s a flaw at all. the conditional tag syntax is based on opening_hours, which should be able to express ‘closed at these times until that date’. there are ways to finesse this. but as long as the published guideline is ‘don’t do this’, there’s little point pondering practical solutions.
i’m no expert — consensus sounds like putting disused only on the main tag, and when i’ve encountered this, i haven’t marked anything disused at all. i’ve only looked at the stop/platform to make sure they weren’t in any relation (transit line relations may include the passing way but shouldn’t include the disused stop/platform). and i make sure route_ref isn’t set on the stop/platform. were the stop to be used again, i figure it would have the same ref/stop id and operator, so i don’t remove them. listening for better ideas though
