OpenStreetMap is concerned: thousands of AI bots are collecting data

Bots are said to be harvesting OpenStreetMap data on a large scale. This costs money and endangers the project.

Показали в одном чате как умельцы с помощью https://cheerpj.com затащили Minecraft и IntelliJ IDEA в браузер. Указываешь .jar, подключаешь либу и готово. Конечно же работает через #WASM.

И конечно же я попробовал затащить редактор #OpenStreetMap написанный на Java (JOSM). TLDR; Оно работает! [1] Но есть нюансы:

- Заявляется поддержка Java 8 и 11. На практике JOSM, собранный под Java 11 через него не запустить. То из недр Files.сreateTempFile вылетает что-то, то из библиотек. Удалось допатчить до отсутствия исключений, однако интерфейс так и не появился.

- Пришлось брать последнюю версию JOSM для Java 8 и черри-пикать критичные коммиты (слава Open Source за эту возможность).

- CORS. Если это важно, то либо отключать расширениями [2], либо настраивать их проксю. Прокся также нужна будет, если приложение ходит по UDP.

- Cheerpj — продукт коммерческий, но бесплатен для личного использования. Однако у них есть открытые проекты для запуска бинарей [3]

Если у вас завалялись Java-апплеты, то можете их воскресить :)

The #OpenStreetMap Wiki wiki.openstreetmap.org is currently unavailable due to planned upgrade maintenance. We'll have it back online as soon as possible - thank you for your patience!

UPDATE 20:00 (UTC): The upgrade of the wiki is taking longer than anticipated.

“Beware of Fake Beaches” - some users are creating fake beaches in order to spawn a new Pokémon found in Pokémon Go.

Beware of fake beaches (Pokémon Go)

Shouldn’t pokemon go users be vandalizing the Linux Foundations Overture data nowdays? I thought that is what all the money Niantic is paying to the Linux Foundation is supposed to compensate. Or did I get something wrong there?

I hope poking fun a little is acceptable. :) Happy mapping, all!

Today, on January 11th, we have to remember who died #OTD in 2013: Aaron Swartz  

You may know him from his contribution to or creation of:

 • Markdown
 • The Creative Commons License 
 • RSS   
 • Reddit

We must never forget him and his contributions to our world forever - especially due to circumstances of injustice and the cause he became a martyr for.

Obviously still a ton of work left, but it looks like we might have a viable approach for routing in #OSM indoor data, following a discussion at #37C3 :)

A new #ifc viewer fresh from the oven: https://viewer.sortdesk.com/

It's in #beta now, but I think it could be great for a quick presentation/exploration of various #3D #BIM things in #AEC, no registration needed, no models uploaded!
