Father of two, make my own maps and computer tools, have my own home server, fix as many things as I can myself, love to drive and travel by car but not for the city, and much more.

Mostly boosts, in several languages, including some I can't speak, write or read.

The @weeklyOSM folks featured a neat lighthouse map a few weeks ago. It reminded me of an old Leaflet based lighthouse map -but- I really wanted globe view...

A few days of work (and adding support for even more kinds of blinky nautical tags), I present the lighthouse-map-libre

Warning: it is very very blinky.

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse
