I find a lot of similarities between city of Kochi and GTA Vice City: army/naval base on an extreme end of the city, beaches, yachts, boats, small small skyscrapers. So I thought of making map of Kochi in GTA Vice City style. I customized MapLibre GL JS and got this: https://github.com/subins2000/gta-vice-city-style-openstreet...

Since I customized MapLibre, any map of the world can now be seen in that style.

Since there were a lot of hospitals and other symbols in Kochi, I filtered some things out, you can see this map here: https://lab.subinsb.com/gta-vice-city-style-openstreetmap/ko...

Location: Kochi, India - GMT+05:30 (time zone flexible, can overlap with US/EU time zones)

Remote: Yes, have been working remote professionally for 4 years now

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Ruby on Rails, React JS, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, generalist (can work with anything really although I'd prefer Rails)

Telegram has the "download my data" option which can give you all the data in your account. Alternatively, one can use Telegram client API to fetch just a channel and its entire content.

Wikimedia compensation is far better than what Mozilla is doing, nobody there receives > 1million$ in compensation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_salarie...

while in Mozilla a single person is receiving close to 7million dollars!

The news story is bogus. Internet service providers can't see what webpage their clients are seeing because everything is HTTPS and there is no MITM from government here as one suggested in the comments. The only technical censorship in India is SNI based HTTPS website blocking and the HTTPS website blocks.

There is no such implementation in India. The major censorship in internet here is SNI based HTTPS filtering.

Search for "firefox" on Edge in Windows, you'll see a special popover batting for Edge

Malware implemented ext4 support before Windows did, lol

There is one in Element Android. When the phone is shaken, a dialogue pops up "It seems you're shaking your phone in frustration, file a bug report". It has in-app bug reporting.

The Kerala state government is doing an initiative to map Kerala in OSM, school-college students volunteer to map many places. It's been almost running for an year now : https://mapathonkeralam.in/

Many people doesn't know about OsmAnd yet, I've been using it full time now. For some places, OSM is more informative than gmaps and vice-versa. The data is increasing day by day, so it's a win-win for every OSM based app here. [OSM was used extensively during Kerala floods 2018 : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2018_Kerala_Floods,_Indi... which prompted the government to take initiative such as Mapathon Keralam.

> It just didn't have enough movement data where you tried it

That maybe the reason, main roads have it, side-roads not so much. GMaps now have offline destination finder, I guess it doesn't even consider the movement data. The dependence on internet service for better route calculation is a bummer for travelling here.

I use OsmAnd and there are a lot of features. What troubles with Google Maps in India is that every road is considered basically the same and the routes it calculate often tends to be on very bad roads whereas OsmAnd tries to pick the road based on quality/main-roads first then side roads. This is very useful in India where many roads have potholes. Major roads (national, state, district highways) are better maintained than the rest. This distinction between roads are clearly mapped in OSM, at least in Kerala.

GMaps also tries to calculate the very shortest path possible, but this often is a bad idea in India cause the roads won't be that great to go through.

Some of the things I like about OsmAnd: navigation-with-voice, speedbump warnings, sightseeing notifications, trip recording+stats, parking area finder, different profiles (walking, driving, browsing etc.) :- all this available offline :)

WebRTC connection requires the peers to exchange signal data. This can be through a middleman server, Qr code or even pen & paper.

I've made a library that uses WebTorrent trackers to exchange the signal data and make P2P connections : https://github.com/subins2000/p2pt

I have made a similar application at https://WebDrop.Space

It uses WebTorrent trackers and is easier to setup offline on network.

I'm over at a7ecf4f43c643123669adca7efcd5f09b749d4ae (I'm up for a test everyone)

Did a test with Ryan and video call worked (with no audio). But, audio doesn't. Voice messages didn't work, video messages didn't too.

Text & video works good!

But why

Nextcloud does have a photos addon : https://github.com/nextcloud/photos

how is it tho ?

You mean CTRL+Z

A really good tutorial with examples to fiddle around and just the right amount of text to understand. Thanks!

There is a 'webrtc.go' file in that repo, so I guess it does.

Yes, uses WebTorrent trackers for signalling

Um, nothing happens when I click the button. Is there a browser limitation ?

I'm on Firefox 76, Linux Mint 19

This was a really good read to understand JPEG with the right videos and images included. Thanks!

does this mean that if I pass away, someone can take over my username and repos under my account ?

isn't this a bad idea

Do they still use Bing ? I thought DDG had in-house search db.
