  • As mappers we can link OSM objects to images, but the images themselves must be hosted elsewhere because OSM is not an image hosting service. You can upload the images of your parkour landmarks to wikimedia commons, flickr, or really any image hosting service, then update the tags for the POIs in OSM.

    As for saving the POIs, most apps that use OSM have favorites or bookmarks, for example, I know OsmAnd does, and I’d bet Organic Maps does, too. I know OsmAnd also has a way of displaying the images linked to a POI, so what you’d do is bookmark your parkour landmarks in an app like OsmAnd, then you should be good to go.








  • Short answer: Mobile hot spot (w/ your own cellular device) is preferable to public wifi from a security perspective.

    There are other considerations, such as how much cellular data downloads cost to you, what sites you’re visiting, what you’re actually doing, etc. In general, it’s advisable to avoid public wifi if you can, but if you must connect to public wifi, then you should make darn sure you connect to the right network (watch out for imposter networks w/ a legitimate looking name) and use VPN (ideally a paid service) to encrypt your traffic. Even with both of these measures, you’re best off avoiding sensitive activities like online banking on public wifi. If you must do banking or other sensitive stuff, either do it on your phone or wait until you get home.

    Hope this helps.

    Editing to add: When I initially responded, I’d forgotten which community I was in. In this context, I believe the other responses are better than mine, but I’ll keep mine up in case it helps other readers.

    I dunno at what school this photo was taken, but in my day, it was not uncommon for students in dorms to have mini whiteboards on their doors so people could leave messages (often in the form of specific private body parts). Mind you, I went to school before everybody had iPhones.

    What I believe we’re looking at here is a photo of somebody’s (presumably Joseph Silva’s) door with a mini whiteboard and someone’s (again presumably Joseph Silva’s) contact info, which happens to be a Lemmy user.

    The key word here is Lemmy, which would explain why OP shared this photo on [email protected].
