Semi-retired Internet geek living with my wife and dog in Nairn, Scotland. When I’m well enough I’m trying to make the world a better place through the application of technology but I’m also the SNP councillor for Nairn & Cawdor which is taking up most of most of my time.

0·3 months agoTusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I’m on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).
2·1 year agoThat would have been Slackware, which in those days came on a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. So early 90’s (and hence I was in my mid-30s) but I was still mainly using Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock to connect to the Internet.
I think the first time I really took it seriously was in the mid 90’s with Debian, a copy of which was posted to me, on CD-ROM I think, by Ian Murdock himself (back in the days when he was still with Debra 😏).
BTW there’s now an OSM community [email protected]
We update it a lot. We also have a product (for walkers in the British Isles) called WayMaps (used by a variety of walking web sites in the UK and also our own demo site https://waymaps.the-hug.net/) which uses the geodata from OSM and other Open Data to produce our own map tiles. We love OSM.
1·1 year agoI was paying US$3.95 a month if I remember rightly but I think it’s now US$5.95.
That’s what Reddit Premium was for, which I had. No adverts in return for a monthly fee.
Seems to work fine for me. Shrug.
