@henryk @INCO Stimmt. Repariertes Hamburg sieht so aus, ich rechne den Rest noch mal durch (aber dauert vmtl ne Stunde)

Look, I made a thing! After I saw the awesome blog post on city street orientations, I generated some charts for European and German cities (and refactored Geoff's IPython notebook into a script on the way). If you want to see a map of your favourite city in this style, tell me about it and I'll see what I can do.

Users of chaos.social, please chime in:

We try our best not to log IP addresses to give you all the privacy we can. Mastodon, as a software, logs IP addresses in two ways: It saves the last IP address you used, and the IP address associated with each active session (you can review those here: https://chaos.social/auth/edit)

We can delete those IP addresses manually in both of these places, but this would reduce your ability to see where your active sessions come from. Opinions, preferences, thougths?

Also am Wochenende werden wir im shackspace gepflegtes Infrawochenende machen, und da auch einen Präsentkorb für eventuelle Hausdurchsuchungen brainstormen.

Gary Bernhardt re-wrote an email by Linus Torvalds in a way that made it less insulting. Both the result and how he got there is a very readable and nice. Highly recommended: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog/2018/a-case-study-in-not-being-a-jerk-in-open-source

But I'm kinda interested in why people are in a frenzy to leave GitHub due to the acquisition by Microsoft (if it turns out to be true).

Hey, Fediversemenschen, es ist quasi Wochenende! Ich möchte die Gelegenheit nutzen, um euch besser kennenzulernen. Meine #Freitagsfrage:

Was begeistert euch? Was macht ihr total gern, was reißt euch mit? Erzählt mal von euren Hobbies und Macken und Lieblingsnischen im Leben! (gern boost, gern Mehrfachantwort)

Netzpolitik sammelt Daten zum "Blogsterben wegen DSGVO" – dh wenn ihr oder Bekannte von euch wegen der DSGVO ihren Blog zugemacht haben, wäre es super, wenn ihr euch beteiligt. Der letzte Absatz des Artikels hat die gestellten Fragen und die Kontaktadresse: https://netzpolitik.org/2018/kommentar-zur-datenschutzgrundverordnung-das-war-erst-der-anfang/

Die Leute von der re:publica haben jetzt detailliert erzählt (mit Hintergründen und Ablauf), was diese Sache mit der Bundeswehr war, wie das kam, und wie sie dazu stehen: https://18.re-publica.com/de/page/bundeswehr-bei-rp18-chronologie-paar-fragen

Have you heard of StreetComplete? It's an Android app that shows you open questions/issues with OpenStreetMap in your area, and asks you to answer them.

It's made for people with no experience with #OpenStreetMap, so it shows only very simple questions that can be answered very clearly. ("What is printed on this street sign?", "What's the number on this house?")

It's available on @fdroidorg, of course! #mapping #android #apps #recommendation

Oh reddit. "During the Cold War, Finland secretly smuggled more than ten thousand vowels from Czechoslovakia. That's why the Finnish have sentences like 'Älä rääkkää kääkkää kääkänrääkkääjä!' and the Czechs have 'Strč prst skrz krk.'"

The #sqlite lead dev wrote an explanation of why they don't use #git (just found it mentioned in one of their bug fix threads for the upcoming release). Interesting read! https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html
