Traffick Cam: Help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of hotel rooms from your travels

Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, investigators must be able to determine where the photos were taken.

My partner introduced me to the Dutch “112” app (112 is the emergency telephone number in Europe).

I hope I never need it of course, but if I do it automatically shares my location and it allows me to chat instead of call if I would be in a situation that requires that.

Also, I really enjoy Jepster as my biking computer when cycling. The guy that built it is also very approachable when you find a problem, which is great.

And when you’re planning to get kids have a look at “Kinder”…

I got a couple of apps I’d recommend in a heartbeat.

Spectdroid is a spectrogram app. Its unreasonable how often I’m using this app. I got some mild tinnitus that comes and goes and this app allows me to find out if I got some actual weird buzzing I’m the house or if it’s just in my head.

And LocalSend is an amazing app for sending files between various devices and OSes over a local network. I no longer need to set up file shares, plug in my phone to a computer, or use cloud storage just to transfer over some files.

For me it’s StreetComplete. It’s like Pokémon Go, but you’re doing actual map quests that help verify or correct information in Open Street Maps.

And if you do enough per month, you get free map downloads without a subscription if you use OSM the app.

I think it’s only on Android though.

I’m recently enjoying walkscape, which is an RPG where you have to walk in real life to progress in game activities, such as crafting or fighting.

It’s in closed beta, but you can sign up for the next wave of beta invites and I got in pretty fast

Also, I downloaded streetcomplete but haven’t really gotten around to it. It’s an app where you map out your surroundings for open source maps with Infos, like opening times at a bank or the width of the street or the type of road, etc. A cool concept, but I always forget about it

Syncthing, its not a recent discovery.
