 How do I go about deleting wikidata items about me? Remember that OpenStreetMap group possibly hit by a large slack bill? They've decided it's too much (~$10k) and will switch to the free teir. 10 years of OSM chat history are going away. 😢 https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1706287495771329 For those behind the login wall, or looking at this after 28th April 2024, this is the message: @amapanda FWIW, I believe that Slack still stores all the logs (but not uploaded files) for free plans and they can be exported by admins. But honestly I think it's better if realtime chat is mostly-ephemeral. Nobody wants to read their kneejerk comments from 10 years ago. But it still sucks if people were assuming they could rely on them.  oh wow, someone wrote a guide on how to map North Korea in #OpenStreetMap There's currently a wave of bots trying to vandalize #OpenStreetMap by replacing names (and russian langauge names) with anti-russian slogans. The #OSM DWG has blocked 5,000+ accounts already 😢 This is not the way people! e.g. <https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/how-about-limit-new-accounts/101656/49>

 @amapanda dropping rockets on farms, towns and cities is neither the way, so i guess this balances somehow.  @amapanda restriction on automated account creation using captcha might at least slow the problem getting worse. But I don't see that being brought up in the discussions.  @amapanda Maybe this will start the powers that be thinking about drive-by SEO spam, too, since this just a more harmful form of the same thing. So @bdon has put all the #Overture map data onto a map for us! 👏 🗺 map : <https://bdon.github.io/overture-tiles/places.html> Do you often import data into #OpenStreetMap?

And that's even with 1/10th the follows on fedi. Welcome to the #Fediverse new mappers!

A street was incorrectly marked one-way near me and I fixed it now people don't get lost 💁♀️ 🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/1565053168186179590 #OpenStreetMap has one tile rendering server for all of USA, and that server can no longer keep up with peak US traffic.

 @amapanda possibly. What do you need? A virt? Physical host? Are you able to maintain it and you just need a place and net connection to put it? What’s your need? |
