Random Note tool

General talk
42

I added another functionality: an optional ?z= parameter will change the zoom from the default value. For example:

https://brzozo.ws/random-note/PL?z=19

will open the random note at zoom level 19.

I hope this will be useful to you :slight_smile:

Do you think it is possible to add a functionality that retrieves random notes from non-anonymous accounts only?

The tool doesnā€™t work anymore, I get a ā€œ404 Not Foundā€ error on https://brzozo.ws/random-note/list. Can you twiddle some knobs, as itā€™s been a nice way to leisurely look at open notes in regions of interestā€¦

Hey, sorry I havenā€™t announced. I migrated my homelab to a different machine. I couldnā€™t however get reverse proxy to work with it (somehow static pages do work). Stay tuned, I will try to fix this soon. The tool otherwise works in my browser over a wg tunnel so itā€™s a skill issue on my part.

Looks like it works again, however note sync with OSM is not functional yet. Got to configure the script.
Edit: should work now. I need to make a systemd service instead of a cron script, but thatā€™s not critical. Expect short downtimes in the coming days.

I fixed a bug that was introduced during migration. You might have noticed there being a bias towards new notes. This was because I forgot to crontab a note reshuffling SQL which needs to be run once in a while to balance inserted notes with existing ones.

The website now shows (to me at least) 502 Bad Gateway.

Fixed that. There was a power outage I think.

Hi, i love to sometimes use your tool to fix random notes, its really fun! Unfortunately it seems to be down again, I just get a timeout :frowning:

Sorry, must be internet connectivity problems (I canā€™t reach it either). Give it a few hours, I guess.

53

Itā€™s just worked for meā€¦

54

oh it already works again! Sorry for making a pointless comment then, thanks anyways!

So it must have regained connectivity :slight_smile:
Itā€™s a mini PC sitting in an apartment, connected to fiber internet, but Iā€™m not on-site. Usually when there are problems itā€™s either a temporary power failure or the ISP having some transient issues.

Apologies for the current downtime. Somehow stopping a Proxmox container made it hang, even if some services work, the admin panel and SSH do not. Either I will ask my family to restart it, or in the worst case I will resolve it tomorrow around 23:00 CEST.
Edit: itā€™s working again :slight_smile:
