Cake day: June 17th, 2023

Thanks to open data law, the website irail.be was created to give the public open access to rail schedules and routes. The site is no longer reachable… at least not for me. Not sure if this is permanent or a temporary glitch.

I also posted this to !opendata@lemmy.sdf.org but can’t see my own post ATM, so could not use the crosspost function, perhaps because SDF is down.

It would be useful if all radio topics could be hosted and discussed on a dedicated fedi instance. The lemmy.radio description is constrained to amateur radio:

“A lemmy instance for amateur radio enthusiasts and communities.”

There are no communities anywhere in the fedi for FM or AM radio apart from !radio on LW (a Cloudflare-centralised instance). And that community is strangely constrained (tech support/user inquiries unwelcome according to the sidebar). DAB radio has one community strangely placed on a “UK centric” instance: !dabradio@feddit.uk.
