Yep no doubt FF users cut from a slightly different cloth than those who choose GAMS browsers.
But as an old-school Firefox user, with a slieu of mobile extensions installed and a healthy cynicism about our swan dive into the dark sea of AI ... I have no problem at all with the statements from Mozilla. Outsiders can argue all day about intent, it's the actions that count.
I use CloudFlare a lot for "self hosting" .. but I also run an old pi from home with Bun in place of workers. Suprisingly compatible and low lift.
Not exactly "without CloudFlare", but for true compat you can probably also self host workerd itself which is open source: github.com/cloudflare/workerd
Indoor plants are tricky with cats. They will chew on them, and many plants can be poisonous to them. Also keeping them watered is work, and they can create a mess if they grow in the wrong direction.
I wanted something minimalist but high contrast, and enough variety so charts would not be repetitive. I have a thing for data visualization, so I pulled inspiration from the pile of books I have on my bookshelf.
I was hosting around this time too (and surfing a bit, but less so), it was a great experience. Never got up to 12 but we always had someone with us, someone crossing over ... and probably someone we were doing a favour for. At one point had two Italian climbers in a tent in our living room for multiple weeks, who ended up moving to our city and becoming good friends.
I tended to go out my way to try and accept people to stay who were either very new the the platform (which usually made it hard to find a place as karma was low) or were very different to my normal group of friends. Which definitely made for some interesting experiences and conversations. Price of entry was usually a list of their favourite albums. I discovered so much great music out of it.
Finally gave it all up when I moved back to Australia and wasn't in a position to host anymore. So many fond memories tho. I miss it.
Worth noting that there is a 6 decimal precision on the coordinates of the 90kb (gz) `coord2state.min.js` ... which suggests an accuracy that may not be present in the simplified data (i.e. <1m).
Before you increase tolerance to decrease filesize, you could consider lowering this decimal precision to 5, 4 or even 3 decimals given the "country, state, or city" requirement.
I also like the idea of using a heavily cached, heavily compressed image that is perfect for the >95% of the country that isn't within a pixel of a border. With a subsequent request for another heavily cached vector tile that encompasses any lat/lng within your 1px tolerance.
I used to work on a logistics company and we had to map latitude and longitude to specific directions. One of the first things I learnt was to avoid storing 6 decimal precision coordinates. Also, this XKCD was shared a lot https://xkcd.com/2170/
Couldn't agree more. I'm using it for notifications, where icon colour changes depending on the type of notification (colours are also user editable) ... and the notifications can be disabled :)
