Glad to hear you got it working!

Yep, NixOS as a base + some Flatpak store for installing apps. In fact, use impermanence to just drop all OS state apart from logs, network settings and flatpaks. That way, "turn it off and then on again" will almost always work to fix the OS.

The issue is that network-online.target does not necessarily mean that you actually have internet access, it usually just means that you have an IP address. I've found that it can take a dozen seconds to actually get internet connectivity, depending on your setup. As a hack, you can add while ! ping -c1 ghcr.io; do sleep 1; done or similar to PreStart of your container services.

Just use OsmAnd. It's old-school in terms of its UI and can be clunky, but it's FOSS, has hourly map updates (free for OSM contributors), and a lot of customization and features.

It's kind of a malicious compliance thing. The new name will not show up on any map renders, moreover it's not likely to be shown in most apps even if you select the object (because official_name:* is not supported by most apps).

The fact it doesn’t show you the best match of your search based on distance by your location (or is because)

That highly depends on the search engine you're using, OsmAnd for example sorts the search results by distance to your location.

It doesn’t show the 2 places I sent ~1 month ago or they’re hard to find (available on site, not on organic maps)

That's an Organic Maps problem, they only update the OSM database once a month, and you have to click the update button manually when they do so.

I kinda recommend against Organic Maps at this point. It's a dumbed-down app with bad routing, bad search, and slow updates. The only thing it has going for it is that it has the best UI/UX (especially for new users) compared to other FOSS openstreetmap apps. If you're ok with proprietary nonsense, mapy.cz is a lot more fleshed out, and otherwise you should just learn and configure OsmAnd for yourself.

POTUS? Nobody. No single person should hold a position with such power.

It's not too bad tho, we've already replaced this with Github actions: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/356023

I don't think it's a solution for this, it would just mean maintaining many distro-agnostic repos. Forks and alternatives always thrive in the FOSS world.

Nixpkgs too BTW https://discourse.nixos.org/t/infrastructure-announcement-the-future-of-ofborg-your-help-needed/56025

I've never done something on the scale I'm describing, so this is mostly just speculation, but I hope it could be useful.

First of all, find the people who do care. Talk with them. Make a local antifascist group in a secure messenger (Matrix/XMPP, or at the very least Signal), or join an existing org that you disagree with the least (don't be afraid of the word "socialist" if you stumble upon them). Do not discuss anything illegal, as it could spell trouble for everyone - you live in an (increasingly) authoritarian country with a wide range of tools to repress you. Keeping it legal at least makes it less likely.

Now that you have a support network, you can start reaching out. Until/unless your organization gains serious traction, unite over common goals instead of squabbling over your differences. DO NOT guilt anyone for being financially well off, voting for the wrong candidate, believing in stupid things, etc. Find people who are somewhat unhappy or unsure about concentration camps. Try convincing them that concentration camps are bad - it probably would be easier if they are on the fence already or if they are being unjustly treated themselves. Show compassion. Do not be condescending or use the words that may trigger them (Nazism, etc), instead appeal to humanity and empathy to specific people who are being repressed. Bring some examples of unjust repression with you. Do not overdo it - you don't (yet) have to agree on anything except that these concentration camps are bad. Propose to do something together - it can be small at first, like calling your representative or organizing a picket - common action builds connections and mutual understanding.

Actually, I don't remember if I ever thanked you for your work; We don't always agree on everything but your positions are thought-provoking, your delivery respectful, and your patience seemingly infinite. So, thank you. I wish there were more people like you on the left.
