In the latest #OpenStreetMap (OSM) database, there are over 457K entries of establishments that serve food (e.g. restaurants, fast food joints, coffee shops, etc) in North America.

I'm thinking about resurrecting my restaurant proximity checker (a way to look for nearby restaurants without using Google Maps and other "trackers"). It was a web service I ran for a while that used a distilled OSM database and #picolisp to allow you to look up places to eat without feeding "big adtech".

This will probably be the subject of AWKzine Issue #2 (my #awk tool collection -- see my pinned post).

@glitzersachen How about good old IRC? For example, I'm all the time in #picolisp at libera.chat (irc://irc.libera.chat), but there are also channels for Common Lisp and Scheme
