Owntracks was one of the nextcloud apps, I used it years ago: https://owntracks.org/
It’s also on fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.owntracks.android/
I found the nextcloud app it is PhoneTrack:
It has a big list of supported apps: https://github.com/julien-nc/phonetrack/blob/main/doc/user.md
It’s how federation works, if you are the first from your instance you don’t see posts, after some minutes the 2 servers communicate behind the scenes, and for your second visit everything looks normal. This is per instance, so it seems you were the first from lemmy.ca to click on that community.
It definitely shows lake names, it’s just limited to specific zoom levels, e.g. here you should see all the names of the Great Lakes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7%2F45.064%2F-81.758
The source code of the renderer is here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto
And there is an issue about displaying sea and ocean names: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2278
Rationale from @[email protected] as an issue comment:
We need to be careful with these labels, for a few reasons. Using a single point to represent an ocean is quite an oversimplification! These points are also arbitrarily placed, so mappers could get into endless edit wars about where to put them. Many mappers will use them as “labelling positions” rather than ensuring the position has some kind of geographic basis.
The Arctic Ocean label is a good example. From the overpass screenshot I assume the node is outwith the range we render. Do we want just the bottom half of the label showing?
Normally oceans and sea labels are “hand placed” by cartographers, since the challenge of automating the label placement is so high. But we can solve the technical challenges here; while doing so lets remember not to end up rendering “labelling nodes” by mistake.
Another good reason why it’s a complex topic:
The problem with mapping oceans and seas is verifiability - mapping them as nodes is the simplest way to have the tags, in particular the names in various languages, in the database (which are verifiable). The coordinates are essentially meaningless.
Summary here:
I think we have already established in the above discussion and in #2345 that we do not want to render sea and ocean labels based on mapper placed geometries from the OSM database (either nodes or polygons) and thereby have the map painted by mappers based on subjective preferences and the specifics of the labeling style here and the mercator projection.
IMO there are two decent options:
- render by combining the tagging from place nodes in OSM with hand placed labeling geometries based on cartographic considerations for this style (like done by Label oceans and large seas from a static file #2345). This is feasible for oceans but not for seas due to the number of features. Special consideration should be given to avoiding vandalism in combination with slow low zoom update cycles.
- auto-generate labeling geometries based on place nodes and the (simplified) coastline geometry. This is more challenging but would scale better.
In both variants i would only use place nodes to specifically discourage mappers from pointless polygon drawings. There is simply no case where for a sea or ocean a polygon is the most suitable way to map in OSM.
Don’t use .local as an internal domain it can cause problems. Use .internal, it was recently reserved for this purpose
It’s unbelievable that there is no footage of the actual construction, only animations showing what happened in the ancient and forgotten days of 2008… I just read the wikipedia article on its construction, and the it’s very similarly structured.
It sounds like the “documentaries” Hbomberguy rants about in his 4 hours long video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ
Here is a 45 minute documentary about the same construction with actual footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEAJmxe27h0
It’s not a problem if we have overlapping communities, just a heads up for others looking for these kind of things.

Carplay is an apple thing, so they should be speaking about some ios limitation
Maybe Ops Team can help? Does it work if I tag them here? @[email protected]
Yes, anyone can buy access.
And with SS7 they can get even more precise location, and you can’t really hide from that if you want to use a phone with a phone number, what is the point. This is an interesting way of attack, noone really thought about this before, but it’s not “oh-my-god everyone can be tracked via signal”. I guess the closest server doesn’t even selected via geographical distance, but much more depends on network infrastructure of your location, so Google Maps API can’t really help here.
And again any VPN could defend against this, so if you want to hide which country you are in currently, it should be the 0th step to use a VPN.
Was posted yesterday to a lot of communities, it’s very clickbait:
allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius
So it’s a bit rough… In Europe it means basically which country the target is in. Also cloudflare servers are not evenly distributed in the world, so resolution can differ wildly worldwide.
With a vulnerable app installed on a target’s phone
So it’s not really zero click.
Sounds interesting though, nice writeup, but not as scary as it sounds from the title.
You have to selfhost bibliogram, working for me, I usually get rate limited but get all updates once or twice a week.
There is a facebook bridge in rss bridge, for a long time it worked, I don’t follow its development nowadays, maybe someone with some php knowledge can resurrect it.
With bibliogram you can follow instagram pages in rss: https://sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram/

See it yourself, this is the gulf relation: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9326283
It has more than 90 names, on different languages. As I can see the default name key without a language subkey is the same as name:ar which is the Arabic name, so that’s the “default”. There is also an alt_name:ar as “alternative name” and google translate says it means “Gulf of Basra” which should be coming from the city of Basra, in Iraq (OSM).
In Persian the same 2 keys exist. The default name:fa translates to Persian Gulf, the alt_name:fa is Arabian Gulf
It’s important to note that the language independent name tag is not used the same way everywhere. E.g. here they use the Arabic name, but for example for the Danube river this default is “Danube” in English, while for example this section where it’s the border between Slovakia and Hungary its name is “Dunaj / Duna”, containing names in both languages. Similar here, but Romanian and Bulgarian names “Dunav/Dunărea”: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/42369355
This tagging scheme is also common for example in Alto Adige/Südtirol (OSM) a region of Italy where 70% of the population is native German speaker, they add both names, and you can see this on the default Mapnik layer on openstreetmap.org
OpenStreetMap is a database, and the map you see on openstreetmap.org is just one renderer, a lot others exist. If you want to see everything rendered in another language you can use for example on Wikimedia Maps, in this url just change the language code at the end to something else, e.g. this is in German: https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=de This is in Italian: https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=it
I tried that recently. I didn’t like that it doesn’t have a widget, and the downloads and current playlist are completely separate. Also there was no option to automatically continue when connecting to a headset (this was working in Ultrasonic 4.8, but not in 4.7.1 I hope they fix that bug sometime…) So after some weeks use I switched back to Ultrasonic.
OSM exists to record and map facts, not to dictate them. If some people call it that way, than it should be recorded in the database, it’s not about personal preferences and politics, we shouldn’t decide if the name is right or not. If you read the linked forum thread you can see that it is purely technical, about how we should record it in the database and when (now vs when and if it will become official)
It’s a bit annoying here that a lot of people misunderstands this, and comments recommendations with near zero osm mapping experience, this is about how to map a thing on OpenStreetMap, not about politics.
My offline android music workflow:
This topic pops up in random news sites like every 5 years, and usually the conclusion is people with these names have less and less problems, as systems evolve.
Nowadays names which looks like some vulgar words cause more problems, it’s called the Scunthorpe problem from the city of Scunthorpe. As this is a shitty article, this actual problem is not even mentioned, classic.
