About six months ago, I found a bicycle traffic light in the #thrift store. I rewired the internals and hooked up an #esp8266 to control the lights (through relays of course).Today, #WomenDontCycle (https://womendontcycle.com) became available for online streaming, and we held a screening at my place. The ideal moment to finish the lamp and get it out, as decorative element!

Hey devs around here: how do you test accessibility?I've been testing #mapcomplete with the #Orca #screenreader today, and fixing some issues but I feel quite unsure about it, so I'p interested in your approaches.Or if someone who's using a screenreader could help me test (in #ghent or at #CCC), that would be appreciated

Once upon a time, I created a graph which analysed the @weeklyOSM outbound links, comparing the number of #Twitter and #Mastodon links.A while later, the Weekly Team decided to not allow Twitter links anymore, as the platform needed an account to see content.But, it is time for an updated graph!

A small Belgian NGO has collected data about bicycle parkings, but they now want to import their bicycle parking data into #OpenStreetMap Care to help a bit? It is a big game of geo-sleuthing ;)It can be done by:1. Open https://mapcomplete.org/velopark2. Search a yellow icon - it is a bicycle parking to import3. Figure out if it still exists and where exactly it is located4. Link or create a new bicycle parking5. Update attributesRinse and repeat! Happy mapping and thanks for helping!

I'm moving pictures made with MapComplete from Imgur to Panoramax; and this made me realize something.A program that I made has been used all around the globe, by thousands of people. Weird feeling

For some reason, Mastodon pushed a #map of #capybara's in my face earlier today. It looked limited to only a few countries and was based on #GoogleMaps, so I quickly hacked together a small @MapComplete theme: https://mapcomplete.org/theme.html?z=12.4&lat=50.582806254983154&lon=3.883637166368544&userlayout=https%3A%2F%2Fstudio.mapcomplete.org%2F3818858%2Fthemes%2Fcapybara%2Fcapybara.json

I got an old projector screen with motor to open/close it automatically, working on 220V. I'm opening it up to review it, but got a mysterious component.Anyone an idea what this is at what it serves? I suspect it is a capacitor.Cbb22135? / 630V

@davidr @mfuhrmann Well, quite some people did link their OSM and their Mastodon specifically to appear here.The problem with opt-in is that I'd also have to promote the bot and its posts would be quite barren and boring. If posting the pictures, the CC-By-Sa license also asks to write the username. Many people also really appreciate being mentioned here or asked how they can appear more; others appreciate the daily 'travel around the world' or got motivated by the bot to start mapping too

Met #OpenStreetMap Belgie zijn we in het vernieuwde MAP-museum (het vroegere mercatormuseum) in #sintniklaas . Het is een aanrader!
