Our test server has been hacked again and attacks have been launched against thousands of other servers.
It’s understandable that our hoster, Hetzner, doesn’t like this at all.
I have now completely deleted the (modern, supposedly secure) test server.
The live server with an economical, ancient operating system is still running without complaint, but it’s only a matter of time before it will also fall.
Unfortunately, with the ever-increasing level of professional cyberterrorism – more and more often emanating from government agencies – it is no longer possible for non-specialists, even with in-depth knowledge, to navigate the Internet safely and offer content.
Our own state power is fully occupied with determining the only correct sequence of colors on the rainbow paths and no longer has any understanding for such ridiculous concerns of its citizens – there is certainly no improvement or help or even a clear statement to be expected here.
Therefore:
I will try to maintain the service here as far as possible – but it will probably not be possible to maintain my own cloud server.
This means the following in detail:
For now, the download tables, which until now have been based on the fantastic foo-table-plugin, will be converted to normal html, called Accordeon-Falter. The functionality for downloads and direct installation will be fully retained. Only the usability and loading speed suffers somewhat.
Why: The plugin has not been maintained for many years, I myself have adapted it twice to new php versions, but now it is over because a plugin that is not officially maintained is an extreme security risk.
Furthermore I will try to move the website to a normal website account at Hetzner to at least eliminate the hacks below the website on operating system level.
This will certainly mean a massive slowdown in loading speeds.
If this site is taken down (certainly not through my fault) please bookmark the direct download link on the GWDG server:
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/openandromaps/mapsV5/
If need be, you will also find a “read.me” with messages next to the maps
I have to admit that I’m getting a bit tired of the whole thing
