the REAL reason why (You) should install extraflags edition

Previously on /flag/: >>211553068

>do (You) like going to places, taking photos and blogposting about it?
Welcome to /flag/ + /extraflags/, a lovely general for Extraflags users that combines your passions for geography, maps AND travel by using the Extraflags extension.

Threadly activities include travelposting, urbex, wilderness exploration, hunting for radioactive minerals, (extra)flag collecting, map filling, cycling across Europe, other autistic activities and overall funposting.

>What is Extraflags?
Extraflags is an open-source userscript that lets you choose regional flags, like states and provinces, to add to your already existing default country flag.
Turns out, it's very well suited for travel posting because you can flex with the ultrarare flags you're travelling to (rather than using it as a tripcode for tripfagging in other threads)

Instructions and video guides for installing Extraflags can be found here: https://flagtism.gitlab.io/Extra-Flags-for-4chan/
Requests to add or change flags can be made here: https://gitlab.com/flagtism/Extra-Flags-for-4chan/-/issues

I thought /extraflags/ was only for administrative divisions

>>211752214
if it was for me i wouldn't have done that flagging at all, but i guess we can make an exception

>>211744392
it would be possible to make a map of the small hoods of Vienna but the geodata hasn't been digitalized so you would have to do some sort of manual drawing. probably very tedious

>>211752214
And what makes you think that they are not administrative divisions?

Of course they are. I just told you what kind of administrative division they were in that post

>>211752602
I would have done it if I still lived in Vienna desu.
But I don't want to remember anything about that city, as I still have a lot of heartbreak, nostalgia, and regrets attached to it.
Even making this map gave me PTSD flashbacks kek.

>electoral constituencies aren't really administrative divisions tbqhwy
I kinda see your point, but not the same thing in Brisbane. They are basically like normal city districts.

You can always delete the Brisbane ones if it doesn't fit the scope of the project of course

>1683 flashbacks be like
I'm the least nationalist person on earth

>>211753271
you said electoral disctrict and those are not related to administration (at least on most places, idk how things work in straya) and also they usually don't overlap with actualy administrative subdivisions

wtf did I just type
I'm gonna sleep now

>>211755784
>>211755818
The source I used was Wikipedia.

As we all know, it can be wrong sometimes, so you can edit it if they are not administrative divisions. I don't know if the wards are in fact third-level divisions; I didn't research it in depth.

Like I told Ovodda, if they don't fit in the project, you can just delete the flags from the repo.

>>211755934
>you can just delete the flags from the repo
well he can't lol. the only active flaggot that has the rights to edit the repository is me
that being said, if i authored the commit it means that the flags can stay for now even if they are in a kind of gray area. after all we're not "extra official administrative divisions", we are "extra flags" so nobody obliges us at 100% following the official admin. div.

>>211755784
usually you would be right but giving that: Brisbane is a limited exception, there isn't anything below Brisbane anyway and there aren't any other subdivisions of Brisbane anyway, i felt like it was possible to push it (i would have never done that on my own will)

highly enjoyable dump, the landscapes you cycled through are really comfy too

>>211776985
hi pavel. are these https://maps.vlasenko.net/soviet-military-topographic-map/ the best topographic maps in Russia or they made new ones? i downloaded an app on my phone called "Russian topo maps" and i see that there are "GGC" maps down to 25K resolution, but they're not available in some regions and there the soviet maps are still better

>>211777765
Soviet topographic maps are great, and I don't think that there are any good new topographic maps now. My last job was making topographic maps but they're done now just in small areas because it's kind of outdated thing now with satellite maps and everything. Maybe military people have new topographic maps but I don't know. I have the same map app too.

>>211777954
>Soviet topographic maps are great
they absolutely are. it's impressive how they managed to map every single inch of tundra even in absurd places like the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago

>>211777327
Incredible trip, very impressive, and thanks for the flags!

My eyes are fucking burning

>>211777327
Please take this map >>211778801 as a token of my appreciation for the flagdumps. I hope you have a chance to complete all 212 of them one day.

>>211778857
Ironically, I don't collect flags myself.

>>211779108
But you track subdivisions don't you?

>>211779169
Yes. Likely a result of my former EU IV obsession. Figured it would mesh well with the extraflags idea so I joined the general. Never bothered collecting flags myself because I felt like I'd get into it too late. NOW it really is too late.

>>211779347
Yes, I know, you've explained this lore before kek.
I remember because, for me as well, "collecting" subdivisions is more important than collecting flags.

>NOW it really is too late
It’s never too late. I only started saving flags into folders in May. Personally, I prefer organizing them into L1 (first-level) and L2 (second-level) folders rather than placing them on maps. I put them on maps only if I feel like it. I don’t know why, maybe it just feels more tangible that way.

Long story short: Start collecting now!

>>211778137
It's always fascinated me as a geodesist how did they do all of that and with primitive tools they had in their time

>>211779538
>Long story short: Start collecting now!

no way. not after literally providing thousands of flags over the years and not saving a single one of them.

>>211779600
I just said it because it seemed like you regretted not collecting.

Your situation is somewhat of a reverse sunk cost logic lol

the main reason why i collect flags and fill maps is that people that are not interested in collecting flags can still enjoy the thread, rather focusing on the dumping side of it. I inherited Trieste's collection that has been collecting since 2016, so my collection is and my maps are basically among the most complete out there, along a couple other collections. Other maps filled by other collectors (or at least the most detailed ones) would just be copies of mine but emptier, so no point in filling them unless you like filling maps to begin with. (again this doesn't apply to less detailed maps because those subdivisions are way more common, so starting "late" there is actually fun).
If there was someone else making maps (for the smallest possible subdivisions) and filling maps with the precision and dedication i put into it (which will never happen), in theory i wouldn't collect flag too, i would only dump which is the thing i love here

>>211776394

Manhattan anon, every wednesday we run a script called flagminer https://github.com/ebinBuddha/Flag-Miner to gather all the flags that got posted in the week and then we post the dump.
However, with the new backend it doesn't seem to work even if i changed to the new url in the settings. Also can you run the script and post the dump for this wednesday giving that i won't be at home? this is an example https://desuarchive.org/int/thread/209734950/#209773172 . however with the new spam filters you will have to replace all the /int/ quotes with the full URLs, which now get automatically transformed back into quotes by 4chan. for now the dump file can temporarely be a mediafire link or something

>>211813495

>>211777327
Thank (You) once again

>>211821067
>i can already tell you that indipendent cities are under their provinces
I used this map as basis for what should be the division. Independent component and highly urbanized cities are supposed to be on the same level as provinces while component cities are always under provinces. On the other hand people would really just consider them part of their province most of the time.

>>211821067
Strategic. :(?

>>211820786
You completed them already? Damn, impressive!

>>211821709
from an extraflags perspective it's always simpler if the indipendent cities are under the provinces. Wikipedia itself says that (for example) Baguio is in Benguet province, even if only geographically. That's good enough for me. Apart for that, thanks for (You)r service :^)

I was considering this since right now don't have a windows pc or VM to test fixing flagminer with. For now I set up an endpoint which can be used at any time to get recent flags. Is this a direction we want to move towards? It would be simple to have this as a webpage like flaghunter but there may be less sovl having it available on demand.

https://api.flagtism.com/int/recent_flags_api2.php

>>211913044
it could be added as an extra feature but it doesn't replace the weekly dump. the weekly dump is mostly used for downloading flags automatically into our collections and for searching in the archives if a flag has been posted and when. those two can't change

>>211913229
The data needed for that is available from the new API, only thing needed would be parsing it into dump text to post. However it may be best to just fix flagminer if that's the workflow you're used to, but it will be a little while before I can take a look.

>>211913044
This is also an impressive website. I am amazed how you can do wild technical stuff like this

>>211913339
the only features of the flagminer that we need are those derived by being able to import a file like this https://desuarchive.org/int/thread/209734950/#209773172 (for ex. you can click "check" to highlight in green the flags of the dump that you already have in collection, but it's beyond the topic)

as long as that file is produced correctly, it doesn't matter who produced it (and i would like to not have to produce it manually like Trieste did for 8 years)

Posting here without extraflags is like showing up to a black-tie event in shorts and then being surprised when people give you looks.

Leave it to fucking çomars to shit a place up. Pajeet, Israeli and Turkish nationalists are insufferable.

I have extraflags extention on, but I can't see the flags on my Chromebook.

for a moment i thought you were going to those islands, but then i realized they're not called Yalova nor Yenikapi

also in some OSM-derived maps the Yenikapi park is called "Turkmenistan park" for some reason

Mayotte

Can anyone explain this to me

Short trip - airport

>>211989362
Same town, different county

>>211989409
If I had gone a few blocks differently this would be the same town in a third county

>>211989462
Nice downtown, dislike the heat this time of year though. Lots of southern food.

>>211989490
Last - cozy waterfront, more southern food but now seafood restaurants.

Testing flagminer and it's failing on board parsing. Doesn't even get to hitting the new backend.
Could (you) share your settings/status output if it is getting past that for you?

>>211988092
Probably way too islamic before the French even went there. Compare the nearby Seychelles which was inhabited late and the still muslim majority Comoros which Mayotte used to be a part of.

I'll tell you if you install extraflags.

Look above, your fellow countrymen are posting the flags they got from their fun trips. You should do the same

10

he's not going to install extraflags if you keep replying to him. ignore him and hide his posts until he installs

>>211990228
i also can't mine the archives, i immediatly get "operation aborted"

that being said, mining the archives is pointless if you can generate the dump directly from your backend. with the old backend what happened was that a dude (Trieste) manually run the flagminer every day to mine the archives and then posted the resulting file every wednesday. everyone else downloaded that file, loaded it into the flagminer and downloaded the flags that way. the first step will be pointless now.
so for now i would focus on having a working dump that can be loaded into the flagminer, the first threads where flags got posted when flags first came back are starting to get deleted so...

This is it.

I’ll post some new Istanbul districts once I’m back home in a few hours.

I’m happy because the Metrobüs passed through a surprise district, but I want to double-check the roads I’ve traveled over the past two days before posting the flags.

i planned to do more hiking in Liechtenstein and into Austria but i couldn't so now i'm seething hard. i hope i can do some little job this summer and go back in september, flixbus has some crazy prices for Chur/Vaduz

i would take several more LI municipalities including Planken, the only one that has to be taken yet

mfw this dude doesn't have extraflags installed

>>211997161
How was Trieste running flagminer then? I've started on trying to generate the XML on the backend but it's really messy as there isn't country or thread data stored, so I have to reimplement most of flagminers frontend logic.
>the first threads where flags got posted when flags first came back are starting to get deleted so...
no flags will be lost even if takes a while, I won't start pruning the db until then.

>>212007782
i'm not sure what you mean by "how". if you're asking how the backend recognized the miner and viceversa, unfortunately i don't know the details. you would have to look inside the flagminer's code.

>no flags will be lost even if takes a while
yeah that was mostly for people that collect flags manually, not a problem for me and the others will have to adapt for now i guess. take your time and we're very grateful for what you're doing

>>212008253
Meant that currently flagminer is not working for either of us due to issues with it fetching from 4chan, so I wonder how was he running it was being run for weekly dumps.

Hopefully the recent flag endpoint I shared earlier in the thread is enough in the meantime.

>>212008566
>due to issues with it fetching from 4chan
now that i think about it, i think Trieste recently had problems mining the archives and he had to add some random browser headers to not get the connection refused from 4chan. i've never implemented that on my end

confirm, he added "random http headers used by browsers" to his user agent when he was having problems recently (march 2025)

>>212011078
Order.

I’m posting the flags I got thanks to the Metrobüs line. I’m skipping the districts I’ve already shared, but if anyone wants them, just let me know.

I got on the Zincirlikuyu stop to go to Beylikdüzü, so the first new flag is Kağıthane

we took a train to Leer and started from there. we mostly spent the time in Rheiderland which is one of the four historical regions of Leer District, which itself is part of the historical region of East Frisia, which itself is part of greater Frisia. it goes pretty deep.

On a completely unrelated but flag-related note: Altenau, a small town here in the Upper Harz, recently put up three mean-ass flags for its Battle of the Nations commemorative stone.

>>212014316
BASED

I love monuments like this

>>212014316
That's what it looked like before. The stone itself was put up in 1913, one hundred years after Napoleon's devastating defeat at the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig. The flags, added another 111 years later, are a great addition in my opinion.

>>212014584
During my international relations studies, so many of our courses focused on Franco-German relations and how that transformed into a friendship. So, whenever I see something that shows French-German cooperation, I love it. The flags might not be a great example of it, but you know what I mean.

RIP Napoleon, you would've loved the EU

Could someone confirm this works in flagminer?
https://upaste.de/raw/UAB

>>212018187
it loads, which is a good start, but
1) inside the flagminer the link must be a URL and not the 4chan-style link, otherwise it can't be clicked
2) the default country flag must match the country of the extraflags. for example on /pol/ there's an afghan extraflag posted by a british flag, mismatched flags like that can't show up in the dump. the same applies to meme flags on /pol/ and the "No region selected" which i don't see in this dump but can happen
the rest looks good for now

also the file format must be .xml otherwise it doesn't even load. i had to manually change the extension

How can I access flagminer? I couldn't see it in the OP

>>212019379
https://github.com/ebinBuddha/Flag-Miner

>>212019316
Yes, so far just set up everything except the interaction with the 4chan API. The backend doesn't know the thread a post is in or the flag it's posted as.
>>212019340
thats just because of the paste site

did you mention wanting to collect 2nd level flags? because they can be a lot (Romania...)

>>212040965
>did you mention wanting to collect 2nd level flags?
Oh yes, the reason why I started with the 1st level was to contain myself, but 2nd-level ones are way more interesting than 1st-level ones right now KEK. I bet in a few weeks I'll start collecting 3rd levels as well (I saved a couple already)

>that map
I am guessing light orange is "lived." What's the difference between light green and dark green?

If I had to guess, maybe light greens are layovers, or maybe dark greens are places where you spent the night?

I have a pure unfiltered autism excel file about my travels. I listed all the 1st level divisions I've been to. I should make a 2nd level one. And I should make a map once RT-BAM is released

>>212040965
>because they can be a lot (Romania...)
The one who loves the rose must endure the thorns
- Turkish proverb

>>212041859
it's more simple. dark green is been, light green is passed through. gas stations and train changes don't count as been. the two orange shades are the same but for lived
