  • Wait, organic is a forprofit publicly traded company?

    Yeah, this is a surprise. And its even called out in the open letter

    The Organic Maps project has been built and promoted under the premise of being an open community project, so it’s troubling to discover that the majority of shareholders consider it to be their sole property. […] (see Addendum for the details)

    Then in Addendum:

    The role of Organic Maps OÜ

    It’s a for-profit company (an LLC basically) registered in Estonia:

    ariregister.rik.ee/eng/company/16225385/Organic-Ma

    The company holds key project assets, e.g. the trademark and the app store accounts. git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/organicmaps/src/branch/m… states that “The primary purpose of the entity is to shield the project’s members from personal liability and to ensure the legal protection of the project’s assets.”

    Until recently there was never a mention that the shareholders treat their shares as their personal investment. Even that explanation document was only added to project’s repository 4 months ago - before that the only brief mention of Organic Maps OÜ’s existence was in the footer of the https://organicmaps.app/ website, so the most of users and contributors had no idea about its role and ownership structure.

    Roman @rtsisyk holds 1/3 (33%) of shares, Viktor @vng holds 2/3 (66%). Alexander @biodranik is not a registered shareholder, but allegedly Viktor holds his 1/3 (33%) nominally.




  • Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

    Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

    • tandoor recipes
    • navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn’t the typical media server recommendation)
    • personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
    • umami analytics
    • Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
    • a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven’t open sourced yet



  • I’m not familiar with the reddit filtering but have you tried using cloudflare page rules? You can try capturing everything after the .tld and then forward it to a lemmy server. So for instance somedomain.tld/12345 could forward to lemmy.world/post/12345. If reddit is checking links for 301 redirects to lemmy though then that wouldn’t work.

    A more advanced approach would be to use a cloudflare worker to do a proxy response so the status code is returned as 200 OK instead of 301 redirect. I haven’t tried that but i think that would be much harder for them to block and you could always make more elaborate urls to make it harder to find obvious lemmy-like structure





  • Did you read the article? The author shares their perspective.

    For me, Git is quite powerful on its own with version control, diffs, branches, merging, etc. Forges just add a UI for some of these things, and add an issue tracker/ discussion/etc. Forges also add a more modem ui for repo access though git does have its own webserver you can use. I use git without a forge for a number of my personal projects that I’m not sharing with others or not yet sharing






  • Depends on the programs, but likely statistics if it is a halfway decent program.

    • Statistics is harder to learn on your own than the CS needed for data science. So it’s better to go statistics and then you can learn the CS parts on your own before doing a data science program.
    • There’s generally a bigger need for statistical foundation than CS foundation in data science, or at least with the angle for any data science needed for data journalism.


  • Sounds pretty neat. Licensing can be pretty complex but MIT is a pretty much no-frills license that let’s them do with your dataset what they want. CC0 (public domain) is similar.

    Alternatively you can also use something like CC-BY license which also let’s people use it but it requires attribution.

    A step beyond that is the CC-BY-SA which is similar but requires anything new created with the data to be licensed under the same license (share alike).

    Just depends on what you want to do, and what you want people to do when they use your data. Id recommend MIT, CC0, or the CC-BY-4.0 license since these ensure the most people can use it if that’s your goal
