For our latest OpenStreetMap community interview, we spoke with Frank Maerz, the person behind OpenFireMap.
We particularly appreciate Frank's approach: building something useful, keeping it simple, and giving back to the community.

Reddit started becoming shitty because people are shitty.
It started long before the API restrictions, long before the commercialisation.
No, it started failing when the influx of new users grew exponentially, but the systems to support it didn't.
Subreddits were no longer communities, they became information and discussion hubs.
With the influx of people, further moderation was needed. But mod vetting isn't that easy, and a lot of people who had absolutely no business moderating communities, let alone social hubs, got a whiff of power that drove them crazy.
And that leads to splinter communities, some abandoned, some forced to give up, and an overall mess to this all.
the subs i was involved would add mobs via the ‘who is the least offensive and the most popular’ criteria… which let to awful moderate, because those folks were ones who had no idea how to mod and basically were like ‘if someone doesn’t like it, it’s bad’. which basically led to them not moderating on rules or principles, but purely on their own personal preferences.
it’s amazing how many communities were so great, and then immediately some new mod would come up and start banning all the previous users and posts they didn’t personally like.

Pulling apart the boards we'll find the Ethernet passives on the bottom, the microcontroller and PoE circuit on the top. The top board also connects to the LED ring, which seems to be a flex PCB with a ferrite and some capacitors on the cable itself. We also find the ESP32, it's external PSRAM, Flash and Ethernet PHY here.

a thing has arrived in the post which I had 3d printed and I am extremely pleased with it! the printers were quite annoying at times about it and it wasn't all that cheap but it's gonna be so cool once I've done my bit. very pleased
@sil nice! I used shapeways to do some on demand 3d printing once and it was good. I got one of the cheap Bambu labs printers recently if you ever want to borrow.

Attention lors du nettoyage de ce type de ventilo à l'aspirateur : il est préférable d'éviter que le flux d'air ne le fasse tourner trop vite, (même si c'est rigolo), sinon l'axe prend du jeu, et il risque de se mettre à vibrer et devenir bruyant par la suite... #DIY #RepairCafé #NIRD
Là, je l'ai carrément gratté
My main worry in lockdown was running out of hot sauce - it makes anything taste ok. October 2026, and the last of the six bottles of Encona hot pepper sauce I hoarded is now finished, several years out of date.
@fesshole remember, 'best before' and 'use by' are not the same.
@molly0xfff I know somebody who knits with a headlamp on.
@bamfingle I put one on when I was picking up stitches for the neckline!
in the uk, very occasionally, there is a feather or bit of chicken poo on your egg. nobody is really bothered or offended by this. american eggs, on the other hand, are power-washed to remove all traces of it, because in america, it is actually illegal to know about The Cloaca
@jk s
US is kind of insane.
But if it comes to human, UK's censorship is insane as well

There is a German one on feddit.org every year. It’s a small community though. !wichtel_unter@feddit.org
@q It was specified for the OSI stack, so you would be shifting a lot more than SSL to X.274. The Internet Activities Board actually recommended that shift and they were turfed out after the Kobe and Danvers meetings of the IETF. (There was even an OSI integration area in the IETF that ran from 1986-1992: https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/osi/history/)
