Matthias Andrasch<p>Oh, that's interesting! 👏 </p><p>„For a long time,when you wanted to use the map on your website or app, you had to look for a commercial map tile provider and hope your site didn’t become too popular.Otherwise,you might end up with a $10,000 bill“</p><p>„There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.This was my idea; I haven’t read about anyone else doing this in production,but it works really well.“</p><p><a href="https://openfreemap.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">openfreemap.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>webdev</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/osm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>osm</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/openfreemap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openfreemap</span></a></p>
