If you're exploring #OpenStreetMap like me and openstreetmap.org is too heavy for you, try #OSMapp (https://osmapp.org/). It uses #MapTiler. It's fast, looks nice and works great on the phone, too. 👌

Landrover Discovery 4 oil and filter change done. Contrary to owner’s manual, I used 5W40 C3 oil as recommended by the #lrtime YouTube channel. Quite some work to remove the protection plate before you can access the drain plug. Luckily no considerable metal pieces found in the filter or the oil. Should be good to go for another 10.000 km’s. #lr4 #diy #carmechanic #castrol
Any recommendations for the best English bird book for the Iberian Peninsula?

⚖️ To tilt the balance back towards users and protect against open-source becoming abandonware.
🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 To collab with critical external projects like Z-Wave JS, WLED, Rhasspy, and Zigbee2MQTT.
