edition hated by all the other editions around it

>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 browser 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 (or at least, nice) flags you're travelling to, rather than using it as a tripcode for tripfagging in other (shithole) 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

@Ovodda, I barely had any time on my laptop this last week. I uploaded the Spain folder and it has around 1100 flags.

Printing this and hanging it on my wall. One of my proudest replies ever

>>214520000
quite nice already
what are you doing in UZ btw? working? because i now have *another* exam to prepare (althou i should still have free time if i respect my schedules) so based on your availability, the options are
>you continue to do what you can (there's *at least* another month of time)
>we split the remaining work
>i completely take over

just for clarity: usually i ask for help not because i'm lazy (not for /flag/ business at least) but because there is a lot of work behind the courtains that only i can do (coding, doing operations that can only be done with my scripts, making the control list, processing geodata)
so if i can delegate work that others can do too, i can concentrate on more technical parts

>>214523754
Yup, working here

>>214520000
what areas of spain are you working on?

>>214525930

From Alicante to Guadalajara is done.

>when will we finally have flag dumps Manhattan anon. i need to update my maps
I've been focused on making some more changes on the hosting side to improve stability, and had a bit of a false start with hosting a local archive for country flags for dumps. At this point I instead will rely on archives for the data which is not ideal but we need to get the people their dumps.
I can then add the country data to https://api.flagtism.com/int/recent_flags_api2.php , which will then need to be either processed into XML if you want to use flagminer.
I should also note that in theory flagminer could be made to work now to generate current dumps.

>why haven't you posted your trip to Canada yet
Don't have can proxy to dump, my other trips have been posted of course.

>>214528148
>Don't have can proxy to dump
tuxler

>>214528148
other than that, i'm glad work is being done

>flagminer could be made to work now to generate current dumps
intredasting idea but i think automatically posting on 4chan once a week is just easier? I would provide the pass

I know most of you already have my flag but still for the couple that don't.

>>214532971
Noice. However, the important flag is not the country flag but the sub-national one. See pic-related ;)

>>214533363
I know, I know you collected the santa cruz flag from my post. I wanted to post when I was in sucre but I was with family most of the time and posting here is dangerous around normal people.

>>214533386
Ah I see, your flags don't show up. Also, I don't have any Bolivian flags (yet!)

>I was with family most of the time and posting here is dangerous around normal people.
Post secretly in the bathroom

>>214533386
for the 247th time: you have no flags and you aren't posting any, you never posted any in your life, not even the Santa Cruz Department one

https://desuarchive.org/int/search/text/Santa%20Cruz%20Department%2C%20Bolivia/country/IT/
the flag of the Santa Cruz Department was posted two times in the entire history of 4chan, one time in 2016 on /int/ and one time in 2017 on /sp/.
None of those was you and nobody ever collected anything from your flaglet post

tldr; you have to install extraflags to post here

>>214533363
it's not the first time this dude posts here, he thinks he is magically posting regional flags without installing extraflags and then when you point that out he doesn't reply
https://desuarchive.org/int/thread/195495631/#195584606
he also thinks this thread is about flag collecting so he refuses to install because he would never complete "the collection"
https://desuarchive.org/int/thread/195495631/#195594439
when you point out that this thread is not about flag collecting, again, he doesn't reply. very convenient innit
he also thinks that posting regional flags is a favour he does to us, notice the word choice "to help you out" always in https://desuarchive.org/int/thread/195495631/#195594439

honestly it's a pretty desperate case

BREAKING FLAG NEWS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Missoula,_Montana

A CITY IN MONTANA HAS DESIGNATED THE SIX-STRIPED RAINBOW FLAG AS ITS OFFICIAL CITY FLAG, ALLOWING THE FLAG AND VARIANTS TO BE FLOWN IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS

GET ON IT FLAGGERS BEFORE ITS GONE

FLAG DUMP

starting from here as always, but this time i did something new: taking the metro to the south-east to the end (Anagnina)

Lazio
Province of Rome
Roma
Municipio Roma VII

the underground in rome has some funny names for sure

Municipio Roma VIII

(skipping a couple bus municipalities that i will post later anyway)
Rocca di Papa

immediatly southeast of Rome, a small mountain range called the Alban hills is found. It's part of the anti-Apennine range, a series of ranges separated from the main chain of the Apennines by deep valleys

on one of these hills (Monte Cavo, ancient Mons Albanus) the temple of Jupiter Latiaris, one of the most important religious sites in the whole Roman Empire, was found. today the site is unfortunately degraded and occupied by an abandoned monastery and illegal communication towers
pic related is the Sacra Via (holy way), the original roman road that climbed up the temple

it was a pleasant surprise to see in the distance the Circeo promontory and the Ponza islands. views like this surely generated legends and stories in the ancient Romans, whose original homeland (Latium Vetus)'s southern limit was indeed Mount Circeo

different view this time from the highest point of the Alban hills. the hills are actually of volcanic origin and they're sometimes called the "Latium volcano". In the past the volcano was much much taller and what remains today are the calderas

pic related, the inner caldera with Monte Cavo on the left

Velletri, locality Pian dei Gerri

those hills might not look like much but they're the outer rim of the volcano. you can clearly see it on satellite imagery

Nemi

highly comfy town

Genzano di Roma

another highly comfy town, with views over Nemi and its lake

Ariccia

Latium Vetus, the homeland of the Ancient Romans
(note for muttmericans: that's the sea, not the ocean)

*STOCK PHOTO ALERT*

Albano Laziale

this nice bridge leads to Albano's most prized feature: the railway station, which allowed me to reach Castel Gandolfo before dark. otherwise i could have walked all the way adding to my already 23 km hike of that day

also it's always nice to add a new railway line to your collections; for some reason, in the roman castles alone (that's how the villages in the Alban hills are called) there are THREE distinct railways: one to Frascati, one to Albano and one to Velletri

Castel Gandolfo

famous as the pope's summer residence. some parts of town are even extraterritorial property of the Holy See, a status similar to that of embassies. i entered a church with such status just because i could

view over the other lake of the Alban hills, lake Albano. a view of the town here >>214484745

Marino

the phone doesn't like movement and darkness, expecially if combined

Grottaferrata

no idea how 4chan decided that the correct orientation of that photo was upside down

Ciampino

famous because of the airport

Roma
Municipio Roma V

Municipio Roma I
Monti

the next day after the usual exam i did a walk to """climb""" the remaining hills of Rome that i was missing

pic related, the Esquiline hill (nowadays basically a busy intersection)

the Esquiline hill has two subpeaks, the Oppian hill (seen here >>214504462) and Fagutal, pic related.
the summit is conveniently occupied by a Sapienza University courtyard (formerly property of nearby San Pietro in Vincoli church, where the alleged chains of Saint Peter are kept for the tourist to flock to). that means: free bathroom in the middle of Rome!

and before you fag start implying: Fagutal comes from "fagus", beech tree

Celio

Caelian hill, probably my favourite one. not very touristy and surrounded by a nice park

Campitelli

the saddle between the Aventine hill (see next post) and the Palatine hill (in the background) was excavated to make room for the Circus Maximus (pic related). here ancient blokes rode their chariots 'n shit

fun fact: the word "palace" comes from the Palatine hill because the first palaces in ancient Rome were built there. you can still see one of them

Ripa

the Aventine hill, my last one, is located here. definitely the one with the best views

Testaccio

S. Saba

that's it; having been mostly to the Alps and the mountains of Sardinia, it was needful to explore a new area of the country
