OpenStreetMap community

Neostumbler has has a huge update! Better maps, higher scan interval, customizability!

It is an app to contribute to open geolocation through wifi, cell towers or bluetooth beacons. This is faster, energy efficient, resilient and can be fully anonymous.

The database is beacondb.net and can already be used!

Neostumbler can be installed via

• accrescent
• Obtainium with the repo URL
• F-Droid
• IzzyOnDroid (same as Github releases, quicker updates)

OSM site and data stopped loading in Northwest Russia on all networks I connected to.

Wonder whether it's something on OSM's end or if Roscomnadzor is not minding collateral damage as always.

Des cartes en ligne souveraines et modernes, alternatives aux maps des GAFAM.

Tout y sera : recherche lieux, commerces, tourisme, photos, photos de rues.

Itinéraires à pieds, en vélo, en transport en commun et train, voiture partagée, ferry : l'accent sera mis sur les transports écologiques.

🌀 :openstreetmaps: Appel à tous les #carthographes #OpenStreetMap qui ont du temps (même un peu, c'est toujours ça) à consacrer à la cartographie de l'île de #Mayotte, plongée actuellement dans le désarroi suite au passage du #cyclone #chido. Connectez-vous sur @hotosm et lancez-vous !

All searches in my town (Gatineau) list it as Ottawa but should be Gatineau.

Gatineau - Quebec - Canada Is not Ottawa - Ontario - Canada

It's very annoying and error inducing.

Please, see the linked thread on the community for official communication.

Feel free to rant and vent in this lemmy-thread, but don't speculate or "give good advice" to the operations-team; they know what they are doing.

The foundation does not advertise this much, but they run a really lean operation and it would probably help to donate a bit to them. You can donate directly to them via a few means; PayPal and card, bank transfers, and Bitcoin.

Currently OSM are having issues with their ISP and still are operating from their backups in read-only. Having more funding so they can afford better redundancy may help them in future situations like this.

Also, OSM is very important imo and it would be terrible if they didn't receive enough funding to continue existing. Donating should help safeguard against that.

The whole site is down and I can't upload any changesets. It doesn't appear maintenance related.

You can see some stats here:

Hopefully this is not another purposeful attack on OSM.

Edit: Site is up now, but the database is read-only. See: https://en.osm.town/@osm_tech/113656639378201391

Edit 2: Everything may be operational as of Tuesday evening (Europe)

Edit 3: Everything's back.
