Quarto (https://quarto.org/) is well regarded in academic publishing and supports website projects: https://quarto.org/docs/websites/.

Thanks for mentioning it, it has relevant templates, including an interesting one for a class.

Nice project! The National Library of Scotland has a nifty tool focused mainly on the UK and Ireland that does something similar (with a paid print service attached): https://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/marker/

I love this tool - seeing what was originally on areas. Granted its mostly fields

It's further down in the article but he's using `hugo serve` which renders the static site and serves it in one command.

Not entirely sure how he's doing TLS from a quick skim of what he's shared though.

He has nginx reverse proxy in front on another machine in his lan, so I suspect TLS is terminated there

The article mentions one example: https://wanderer.to/. Haven't used it personally but seems promising (albeit less "social" than something like Strava).

Less "social" would be a feature for me. I just want one that can plan routes, track journeys, and give me directions. I don't want to be worried that I'm accidentally sharing what I'm doing/where I am with the world.

I'll do you one better: I just want the GPS data. I use https://alpinequest.net on android which is a 15 euro one-time purchase and they focus on the app, and that's all. I don't want every activity I do turn into some version of facebook.

Eh, the social features of Komoot were never intrusive to me, and among social features of most apps they were some of the most well designed. Local community, very much focused on actually sharing tracks and trying out other people's routes (and maybe commenting with your experience afterwards).

There was a guy in his 60s regularly doing very nice circular hiking routes of 40 to 60 km in our nearby forests, and apart from that just being kind of awesome and impressive to see when you look at local routes, actually walking his routes was often a very nice experience with diverse landscapes often along nice small, less used paths. It was great seeing nice weather in the morning, and then oftentimes without any pre-planning just walk or bike to the forest and just start along one of this guy's routes within a few minutes, all in an incredibly hassle free manner and with a result which pretty much always beat out just following the official hiking trails shown on signs etc. I don't know if there's another app right now where you can so easily profit from the experience and knowledge of your local community.

I organise an mtb event, always refused to use Komoot, Strava or other apps just to display an XML file on a map.

I have used brouter.de as a GPX editor instead of going on site to the route, and used Umap on OSM.ch to upload a GPX:

https://brouter.de/brouter-web/ http://www.vintagemtb.org/maps https://umap.osm.ch/

One only need a web server to share gpx files really.

Planning routes can be easily done offline with desktop apps. Don't even start with mobile use, I have never seen a web based tool where you could plan a route by tapping on a smartphone screen without pulling your hair out of desperation.

Well, Komoot worked quite well for exactly that use case. I have also only very rarely found tools even in the desktop space that were quite as mature as Komoot for that use case.

Also the question remains, what do you navigate the planned routes / gpx traces? What happens if you notice you want to improvise and replan to hit some target on the way you saw in the distance while on the trail? This was (and currently still is) absolutely trivial and intuitive to do on Komoot. The best alternative I can think of is maybe brouter+ osmand, but that's really quite clunky in comparison with Komoot (similar to the experience you probably mean when talking about pulling your hair out)

Most people doing this on a regular basis do not use komoot on a smartphone anyway as the battery life of a smartphone with gps activated at all time is very short compared to a dedicated bicycle or hiking computer.

I've been using https://bikerouter.de/ to plan my ride and then import the GPX into OsmAnd~. Works quite well. It is possible to host brouter (which is what bikerouter is running) on your own http server.

In OsmAnd~ just remember to fix the track to existing paths, otherwise OsmAnd~ routing engine may have difficulty to guide you. I've never dig into it, but it looks like there can be a small offset between the GPX and Osm map.

For folks working in bioacoustics I think it might be pretty relevant. I'm working on a project with large batches of high fidelity, ultrasonic bioacoustic recordings that need to be in WAV format for species analysis but, at the data sizes involved, FLAC is a good archive format (~60% smaller).

This release will probably be worth a look to speed the archiving/restoring jobs up.

It seems like the serverside resource requirements to help with the privacy preserving aspect (and also to avoid DDoSing the data providers) would be non-trivial for a FOSS project like this.

I was wondering if a torrent-based architecture, where clients share updates with each other would help reduce the load. Any idea if it's been considered or would it just overcomplicate it for the number of clients involved and/or the latency for updates be too much to be of use?

If you're using Firefox and have Kagi as your default search engine, then just adding the Firefox search widget seems to do the trick.

The title doesn't really highlight it but this is using OpenAI's Whisper behind the scenes and can simultaneosly do transcription and diarisation (speaker identification), which is one of the most highly voted discussion topics on the Whisper project: https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/264

Very promising for online meetings to have a transcript of what was discussed.

At a guess it's this story: https://www.vice.com/en/article/xweqbq/microsoft-contractors...

Ah yes it was Skype and not Teams, my bad.
