In fact they are called "Public GPS Traces" and can be enabled in the OSM layer inspector. I am not sure if anyone started distilling track recommendations from them yet though.
That's possible. I use RideWithGPS, maybe a lot of people use it around here. Or maybe only two other people have ridden the route, it doesn't say, but it's still super useful for finding routes.
Yeah I've used reddit daily for over a decade. I just use a mobile browser. I tried a couple apps a few years back, but just when back to mobile browser after a few weeks.
It doesn't appear to require an account. I just gave it a try, installed the deb, typed that one line command and it just worked. No idea if it would work in those countries though, I only tried it in a US location.
While we still use hydrocarbons for a while for power, we might as well let some of them hang out as our stuff for a bit before being burned for energy.
I get that argument, but wouldn't it be better to bury it deep so that the carbon is taken away rather than added to the ecosystem?
Sure, small-scale "energy recycling" makes sense, but if everyone did it with all our waste plastic outout then we'd pretty much just be using fossil fuels with extra steps, and the carbon will end up in the atmosphere.
It is fossil fuels with extra steps but see that when you burn garbage for power that’s displacing the equivalent amount of power that would be provided by fossil fuels (almost everywhere around the world today).
Therefore you get to leave some oil or whatever in the ground instead of going to the trouble of burying garbage.
Burning garbage instead of fossil fuels should be carbon neutral with some benefits of not filling landfills etc.
Maybe the data could be shared/distributed via hypercore or similar.
I find heatmaps are my primary way of finding new mountain biking trails and routes.
