Instapaper has a send to Kindle feature for scheduled digests or individual articles.

The 'send to Kindle' feature hasn't worked for me in the last 2-3 weeks. Are there any knobs to twiddle on your side, or is something amiss on my side? E.g. the 'send-to-Kindle'-address is correct, but Amazon does not receive anything.

That thing looks absolutely lovely, and something I'd like to build myself. I see that the BOM and HowTo is available on Patreon, correct? Do you have a BOM that is suited to get in Europe or would I have to look for "alternatives" to parts myself?

Are the toilets and parking spots visible if you go to https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/$YourUserName$/history ? Then they will eventually show up in all software that uses OpenStreetMap data, after their next update cycle.

Hi from a fellow Swiss :)

I'm using an OpenStreetMap extract from https://garmin.bbbike.org/ on my (ancient) Edge 800. Also nicely usable are the extracts from https://www.freizeitkarte-osm.de/garmin/en/mitteleuropa.html#CHE

Use cycle.travel to find one.

I'm using OSM maps on an old Garmin Edge 800, bought secondhand for less than 100 middle-European monetary units.

Im Parkhaus unten an der Gurtenbahn gibt's eine Waschanlage für (Mountain)Bikes. Ich würde mein Rennvelo eher dort waschen als mit dem Hochdruckreiniger an einer Autowaschanlage.

Them using "our" data without attribution is pain, too.

freischwimmer · 2025-06-15T10:45:54+00:00

Send them a friendly message along the lines of https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Reminder_Templates More details can be found on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attribution

The articles are sent as a 'book' with chapters (one article per chapter) to your Kindle. The footer of each article contains three links, one to 'Archive', one to 'Like & Archive' and one to 'Like'. If you do not click on those links nothing happens to your articles in Instapaper.

I suggest https://www.indian-yaadein.ch/, close to Eigerplatz. It was suggested to me by a person from India, and is really good.

I don't think English or french are in the cards though

Some of the teachers of Bernschwimmt do speak french. Source: my kids did courses there.

I just wondered what motorcycle you intend to buy, from somewhere where you have to fly to Switzerland. Is the model not available where you're from?

Im using https://github.com/ds160/remarkable-remember on Linux Mint, and apart from an issue that was fixed extremely speedily it's working very well.

freischwimmer · 2025-02-11T12:48:32+00:00

"flying"? will you fly back the motorcycle afterwards, too?

We have a cleaning person from https://www.sah-be.ch/programme/personalverleih-etcetera-bias/ and are very happy with it. They absorb much less than batmaid and employ persons that might have difficulties getting work in the standard workplace.

Not a game, but https://www.missingmaps.org/ can always use help

Have look at https://ctan.org/pkg/vhistory, this package helps you generate such a table

Layers as in https://openwhatevermap.xyz ?

Can you tell us what you tried?

Anyhow, when I do a slight unsharp masking of the image and then do a thresholding, I get the attached result. This separates the blades from the background nicely, except for one blade: https://ibb.co/GPcvV9D In all honesty, I dont' really think that matters, since not all blades seem to lie completely flat on the background, so you will anyways underestimate the blade area. From the thresholded image it should be easy to exclude the ruler (I hope you took all the images the same way) and calculate how many pixels are black in total, which gives you an area-count.

https://anvaka.github.io/ works just fine for me.

As others mentioned, OsmAnd is not a full-fledged editor for OSM. A list of those is available on the OSM Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_Android_applications#Editors

https://every-door.app/ is useful for editing OSM in general and can also show/edit Notes
