Yes, it is problem in osm data but that doesn't mean that there aren't people that just want something to work, the komoot atd makes it quite easy to see where people have gone and should be passable. And unfortunately most people have the consumer mindset about this.

Yeah the Czech touristic club is bit bitchey about that data and gives it only to the Czech equivalent to Google (seznam) but all of it is still in OSM. The paper maps are made by few companies and they are bit pricey too but I wouldn't tell that the data are looked down. There are some people trying to get it fixed (to be officially added to osm).

It wouldn't be that bad if the routes were at least planned, validated and marked somewhere. By planning in Brouter and OsmAnd I got multiple times spit out in the middle of fields without any route or in front of locked gate. If there would be some routes you can just load in your computer and follow, but no you have to rely a bit on your judgement and map reading skills.

The luxury of Czech routes that can be followed without GPS nav or even paper maps is its own league of map info that is just not available elsewhere. So I really understand why it is appealing to ride or even pay for that info.

I don't know where are you from, so just my perspective from around Europe as I traveled.

In some places like Spain and Portugal the cycling routes aren't developed that much with signage or even half planned, it is bit local. You can get by with OSM OK-ish but I started to look up some of these routes scattered around the web.

In France and Belgium it more depends on the region so sometimes the routes are bit sparse and far away from each other. But the maps were really good for finding these connections between them. Otherwise most official routes are marked with standardized signage.

In CZ you have really dense cycling and hiking route network. It has standardized signage and is managed by 1 organisation since late 1800. So you can get pretty much everything on one place, the "secret" routes are only the different routes you connect together to make your trip. Some long distance routes like ViaCzechia uses the markings and you get the itinerary on the web or you can buy a book.

So it depends I can see why the people use it in some places it is nearly necessary, other places it can be nice to have and somewhere it can just give you an idea where to go but it isn't needed at all.

No, I will contact few people on Mastodon that play with it and offer webhosting.

As some of them said that it is the best way to support the running of the instance - make them business so they can run fediverse on side.

Good question. But I don't know if I satisfy you with my answer.

I am getting to it, if you look at my older posts (and my mastodon) you can get the idea what I am doing since January.

So the thing is that I don't have the nerves to type more than few posts per week on Mastodon. But I want to do some write up on it and post it as a complete thing on one place and then link it/ repost it to social media. The blog will be the reference to the posts and resource for others that wants more structured info about it.

I didn't write it in my reply, so exactly this is something I am looking to.

Basically some integration with fediverse but in this case I am looking to do it bit backwards add it to the wanderer and link it/embed it on the blog.

I read it yesterday and tbh this sentiment I get from most of these services.

So I plan locally, store the gpx files and don't share them yet. After I get home I will probably start a classic blog where I will laid it out for everyone.

As most people ~3 weeks.

I have 3 season camping gear so shelter wouldn't be an issue. Water filter so that's taken care of. The food will be an issue, European forests aren't the best for foraging, I could probably catch some rabbit and get some mushrooms.

BUT as I don't know nearly enough about wild food near me I will have to resort to experimentation and some poison would get me.

To give you more of an answer than the other guy:

It needs to be national, most of these pesticides are restricted use only. You have to have license to buy it and use it. I don't know how it works specifically in France but most probably there is some bodie that regulates it use in whole France. It is one market so if it is permitted somewhere it will get everywhere.

Bearings are smoothest when they are worn out. So if you have replacement I would just change it.

This is maceration not fermentation but I unintentionally did something similar with red currants and wine. I don't know how I made it but it was partly fermented with sugar wine and vodka (or some other clear distillate) to add more alcohol to be stable.

Found bottle few weeks ago and it was amazing, I forgot about it after I tasted it and don't liked it few years ago.

I don't like distillates that much, bit too strong for me, but basically fruit+bit of sugar+time+still and you have some eastern Europe pálenka/slivovice (from plums) or other "moonshine".

Lol, in the Czechoslovakia some regions were divided before war - Sudetenland was proper part of the Germany, protectorate which was officially occupied and Slovakian nazi regime.

So when the Soviet army came they behaved quite differently depending where they have been because only some of it was liberated other parts were conquered.
