Stroadland

My low-effort bragpost for this week is an area of Makaska I have called Stroadland. It’s a bit of a joke, of course. I posit a pioneer in the area with the name Stroad, who is thus memorialized in the name. But of course “stroad” is a currently popular term for major streets in North American, car-oriented suburban development. Not really a street, not really a road: a stroad.

I still have a lot of detailing I want to add. I’ve only named a few stores or amenities, for example. I have a goal to make something that could easily be mistaken for OSM at zoom=15. I don’t think I’m there yet, but I’m making progress.

Here is a screenshot showing the area.

Infrastructural Changes

Rather than my standard weekly low-effort brag post, last week I posted some user statistics for OGF.

This week, I’ll again forego the brag-post and simply announce that, effective today, this blog is residing on a new server. The old server is something I have been wanting to shut down for some time – it’s running Ubuntu 18.04 and it’s not co-located with any of my any other servers. So I’m finally getting around to upgrading to this new server, which is located alongside all my other servers (in Fremont, California) and is running Ubuntu 22.04 (the most recent LTS version). This should help me keep up with the Joneses – so to speak.

This is only one of about 10 different blogs hosted on the old blog server (not all mine, but all hosted by me). I still have to do the others. This one was first, as the “guinea pig” – having the simplest format and hopefully easiest to rebuild. The old server also, inconveniently, runs the Arhet render and my personal wiki. So those things will have to be moved, too.

There should only be minor changes apparent to visitors on the site. If you see major issues, let me know via comment, email, OGF site DM, or on the OGFC discord. Thanks.

Incidentally, this blog celebrated it’s 5th birthday yesterday. So that’s a good time to upgrade.

Some user statistics for OGF

I decided to play around more with some queries on the OGF API database.

I extracted detailed user summary data for January and February of this year, and put each month in a separate table.

For January, these are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

Notably, the active user counts for these two months are almost identical, with 279 for January and 281 for February.

For those who are interested in the technical side, here is a sample of  the query I ran on the API database. It’s really quite simple once you get the syntax right.

select
 users.display_name,
 changesets.user_id,
 count ( distinct objects.changeset_id ) as count_changesets,
 sum ( objects.count_nodes ) as count_nodes,
 sum ( objects.count_ways ) as count_ways,
 sum ( objects.count_rels ) as count_rels,
 sum ( objects.count_rels + objects.count_ways + objects.count_nodes ) as count_objects
from ( 
 select 
   changeset_id, 
   count ( node_id ) as count_nodes,
   0 as count_ways,
   0 as count_rels
  from nodes 
  where visible = 't' and timestamp >= '2023-02-01' and timestamp < '2023-02-28' 
  group by changeset_id 
 union select 
   changeset_id, 
   0 as count_nodes,
   0 as count_ways,
   count ( relation_id ) as count_rels
  from relations
  where visible = 't' and timestamp >= '2023-02-01' and timestamp < '2023-02-28' 
  group by changeset_id 
 union select 
   changeset_id, 
   0 as count_nodes,
   count ( way_id ) as count_ways,
   0 as count_rels
  from ways 
  where visible = 't' and timestamp >= '2023-02-01' and timestamp < '2023-02-28' 
  group by changeset_id 
) as objects
join changesets
on objects.changeset_id = changesets.id
join users
on changesets.user_id = users.id
group by
 users.display_name,
 changesets.user_id
order by 
 count_objects desc;

Kshang Native Lands

This weeks low-effort brag-post is a new topo area for the Kshang Native Lands area in the country of Rhododactylia. Rhododactylia is not my “owned” territory, rather, it’s a free-to-edit public space on the map server. Posting mapping in these public areas is a bit fraught – various individuals come along and vandalize, alter, and otherwise mess with one’s creative work. But Rhododactylia seems to draw a higher-quality mapper than many of the public areas on the OGF server, such that I feel some hope this work will be respected and added to.

I originally created the Kshang Lands in around 2016 I think. But I recently decided to take my passion for detailed contour mapping and apply it to a free-to-edit area, and this seemed like a great place to try.

The Kshang are one of the native people in Rhododactylia, overwritten by colonists. Just like the real world, right? Anyway, they have a fairly prosperous economy in their little hilly center of the country.

Here is a screenshot showing the roughed in topo area.
