At first I just looked at how several features are already tagged, then slowly started to correct wrong data and then add missing details.
I use #StreetComplete app to add details on walk travels,
#OsmAnd app to add POIs and of course the iD web editor for larger edits.
I am especially impressed by the iD editor. It's so helpfull with clever use of autocomplete and linking to #OSM wiki...
The best reward is 3D view becoming more realistic...
A more advanced version of StreetComplete where you can edit the raw tags of an object for example and plenty of more quests.

Ty vole ale... main/power button v zapnutom stave nejde, ide keď ich zapnúť. Displej robí také divné veci že je občas celý biely a svieti, potom sa po ňom objavujú také biele svetlé pruhy, po chvíli to prejde. Pri nabíjaní sa občas reštartujú (naposledy sa to nestalo). Displej akoby sa posunul o 0.5mm dole a hore je taká čmuha.
Možno je to tým že sa snimi sprchujem a že som snimi xy krát o niečo treskol.

I find it interesting that on every instance I've visited under one's Mastodon profile when adding profile or header picture #ScreenReader says "Profile picture: No file chosen
Header picture: No file chosen" even after one has been added. I wish this could be made to verbalize with more accuracy. And yes I did try employing #PictureSmart to confirm whether or not my image was actually there.
A man walked into a bar with a full-grown ostrich right behind him.
The server asked for their orders. The man said, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries, and a beer.” Then he turned to the ostrich, “What about you?” “I’ll have the same,” said the ostrich.
A short time later, the server returned with their order. “That’ll be $50.75,” she said. The man reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact change.
The next day, the man and the ostrich returned. The man said, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries, and a beer.” The ostrich said, “I’ll have the same.”
Again, the man reached into his pocket and paid with the exact change.
On the third day, they walked in again.
“The usual?” asked the server. “No, it’s Friday, so I’ll have a steak, baked potato, and a shot of tequila,” said the man.
“Same,” said the ostrich.
Soon, the server brought the order and said, “That’ll be $112.50.”
Once again, the man pulled the exact change out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
The server couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. “Excuse me, sir. How do you always come up with the exact change?”
“Well,” said the man, “Several years ago, I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie popped out and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that whenever I had to pay for anything, I’d just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.”
“Wow,” said the server. “Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you’ll always have as much money as you need!”
“That’s right. Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact amount of money is always there,” said the man.
The server asked, “But, sir, what’s with the ostrich?” The man sighed, paused, and replied, “My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say.”
As you may have heard, the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA as it's more commonly known, just passed the US Senate by a vote of 91-3; only one Democrat, Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) voted against it. The bill was co-written and sponsored by Marsha Blackburn (Nazi Party-TN), one of the most virulently anti-queer fascists in American government, and endorsed by The Heritage Foundation (the very same nazis who brought you Project 2025.) As an American trans woman facing down a real-as-fuck, increasingly mainstream fascist pogrom against trans people, I'm furious at this betrayal by Senate Dems, and more than a little afraid for my future online, or otherwise.
Despite its protested benevolent intentions, this is a foundationally fascist bill that would give the FTC (controlled by whoever happens to be President) and State Attorney Generals (including hardcore nazis like Ken Paxton in Texas) the ability to force online platforms to censor any content they *think* might cause minors "anxiety" or "distress." What exactly is content fascists think might cause "distress" or "anxiety" in young people? Well, given the vague wording of the bill, it's hard to say, but the "conservatives" who support it have repeatedly made clear that they consider information about sex education, sexual abuse/assault, anti-racist literature, history they don't like, information about contraception, and information about queer, particularly trans people, simply existing, to be "distressing" and "damaging" to children, so it's not that hard to guess. Blackburn herself has given interviews where she admits the fascist right intend to use the bill to "protect" young people from "the transgender" and "gender ideology." The Heritage Foundation and various other fascist think tanks who support the bill have also indicated the same. While the far right insists the purpose of the bill is to protect children from harm and pornography, that reasoning falls a little flat when you realize they've openly stated that just knowing trans and queer people exist is "harmful to children" and "pornographic" or "sexualizing" in nature.
Furthermore, the prosecution of an anti-queer agenda, and an ongoing anti-trans pogrom aren't the only horrifying problems with this bill. While the Act is ostensibly designed to protect young people, and its sponsors swear up and down it won't lead to age-gating and violations of privacy for everyday adult users of online platforms, it does require those platforms to know which users are, and aren't, minors; which is going to be pretty much impossible without demanding identification or some form of identifying age-verification process. One can easily imagine numerous ways this poorly-thought out censorship regime can go completely sideways. For example, if "red-state" fascists want to unmask you on large online platforms, all they're going to have to do is flag you as a potential minor, which in turn will force you to essentially identify yourself to prove otherwise or lose access.
Liberal proponents of the bill, and disingenuous fascists trying to hide their already-admitted intentions, have of course insisted that KOSA contains safeguards that will prevent it from acting as a fascist censorship law on large internet platforms. This argument is however clearly divorced from reality when you examine the intentions and standard operations of those platforms. No Big Tech company will wait around to get sued by nazi American parent groups and fascist State Attorney generals, and they sure as fuck aren't going to spend the resources necessary to resolve this on a case by case basis when they can just pre-emptively ban anything myopic wingers might find objectionable and call it a day; especially since that will cost less and reactionary Tech Bros who own big online platforms don't really want to host queer content, resources for sexual abuse victims, or anti-racist content in the first place. Half the folks running these companies already donate to Trump and wholly support the Christian Nationalist agenda Project 2025 is designed to further.
Of course passing the Senate doesn't make KOSA a law yet, but given that fascist Republicans prosecuting a Christian Nationalist agenda hold a slim majority in Congress, and President Biden has already endorsed the bill, I'm not feeling very optimistic it won't be soon. And while I'm certainly outraged at nazis who intend to use this bill to prosecute a fundie fascist agenda designed to pogrom trans people and chase their political opponents out of public life, I must admit I reserve a special ire for Senate Dems empowering that agenda in exchange for warm feelings of "bipartisan co-operation" and the purely hypothetical support of white suburban nazis who call themselves parents. It's pretty hard for me to believe you folks oppose Project 2025, when you're already helping the fascists pass laws that support it and Trump hasn't even been elected President, yet.

What fun stuff should I run on my new server?
I'm interested in learning about new useful terminal-based programs for #debian #linux! New ideas of stuff I'm interested in running include stuff like uptime monitoring for various things and anything else fun or useful I could run in a #homelab.
Heck, even some information about fun projects and what you currently host would be interesting to learn from.
I have plenty of storage and such around. The new server is an older Dell Poweredge T330, which should more than sadisfy me for a while.
If these programs could be entirely managed from a terminal rather than web UIs and such, that'd be awesome! I find they are much easier for me to use, anyway.
Please boost for reach if you wish.
Thanks!

oh, but my browser is one big security concern, the entire config system and UI is so heavily modular and extensible that there's a million very easy ways to write some config code that does key logging
it's for power users and people who won't just randomly paste shit in their config file, so it's a trade off for that extra extensibility
im not entirely familiar with why Tridactyl is bad for security tho
