Mompanterofun fact: in the middle ages, Rocciamelone was considered the highest mountain in the world due to its sheer just as seen from the valley

FRANCEAuvergne-Rhône-AlpesSavoie DepartmentBessansit's kinda baffling to think that the original nucleus of what would then become the Kingdom of Italy is now in fr*nce. Nowadays, the closest lands to that ancient nucleus still on the right side of the border are of course Aosta, which is even Arpitan-speaking, the Arpitan Valleys of Piedmont south of it, and aforementioned Susa, which was one of the most ancient original territories of the County of Savoyother than that, i enjoyed walking alongside glaciers that eventually flow towards the Rhone

>>224761865I like the photo lol>>224761965This city is on my bucket list (yes because of Juve)>>224762155Imagine the flag dumps if we had cars>>224762206Monument <3>>224762314That's a cool surprise. While searching the seal for it, I found this autistic ass awesome collection:http://quaranta1.chez-alice.fr/ecussons/rhone_alpes/bessans_val_d_arc.html>>224762545Bellissimo :^)
>>224765485i wonder who made all of those patches; i hope it's not another Akatov situationin the case of Bessans, the village seems to have a connection with devils. even our guy Daniel Juric did draw its CoA, only to retire it later (most likely after the municipality said they don't use it, they use a shitty logo instead)i'm gonna add it but tag it as a logo and not CoA>Imagine the flag dumps if we had carsdont even get me started
>>224765485I wish monaco would make cool flags for each of its districts. That would be nice.
>>224768170>i wonder who made all of those patchesIt's such a niche thing. I also like patches so I bought some flag ones while travelling, but these very specific town/city ones must be a French thing I guess.Unrelated but, a few years ago, I was in Estonia and I saw some British soldiers hanging out; they had awesome looking NATO patches. (pic related) I thought about asking if I could have one, but I didn't wanna bother them. A journalist friend of mine told me that I should have asked for one because he always asks firefighters, soldiers, etc. for patches, and they are almost always more than welcome to share.I kept my own patches from my military service though (I think I posted them here before)>even our guy Daniel Juric did draw its CoAOh I couldn't find it on his site>>224768292Last year I tried to find Monaco-logos but couldn't.
>>224769707>couldn't find it on his siteluckily, someone else did use it to make their own work in 2015 http://etat-de-savoie.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Armoiries-des-communes-de-Savoie.pdfwayback machine confirms https://web.archive.org/web/20140717110135/http://armorialdefrance.fr/page_blason.php?ville=5256
>>224761660So if I install this extraflag plugin it reads your location and adds a flag based on where you are? even if you are in a small town? it will add the flag of that town?
>>224778113It's not automatic, you select it yourself.>even if you are in a small town? it will add the flag of that town?Oh yes
this is why i like starting thread with flag dumps; it should make it even more obvious that the extension is a travel tool rather than a home address field to say where you live.a message still not clear to far too many people
>>224216473https://gitlab.com/flagtism/Extra-Flags-for-4chan/-/merge_requests/629https://gitlab.com/flagtism/Extra-Flags-for-4chan/-/raw/557bc5e998449af6bfa87b293995c8a6a21d9210/Extra%20Flags%20for%20int.user.js
>>224782237just merged but noticed another thing: is it a planned feature that if the search bar is empty and you click "backspace" nonetheless it deselects a flag level? i find it a bit annoying but maybe that's just me
>>224784315akshually, i find it really annoying because if you wrote a lot of stuff and keep backspace pressed to delete it you also end up deselecting all the flags
>>224761660Didn't Goslar post from Melilla?
>>224786173i only save the flags when the whole dump is posted; i keep my folders organized and my maps updated by having the same creation date for all images from a dumpalso it would look too much like a tripfag in cases like Ribadesella (the only Asturian municipality he posted while he was there)
>the mysterious "zone 99" of Qatar according to humdata's geodata>literally three random boxes in the open sea, without any islands (maybe there's oil platforms there? i can see some 40 km to the NE on google imagery, nothing ahywhere on other imageries)>Halul Island and Shraoh Island are NOT included in the geodata
>>224786803Reasonable>>224787277No other sources mention zone 99, I couldn't find anything. Strange afHalul is part of Doha Municipality and Shraoh is part of Al Wakrah but I assume you already knew that
more like extrabumps
>>224797527yep, added them as equivalent to zones. i don't think zone 99 is real btw, it's probably just an artifact of their scripts. didn't add it because it's literally just oil platforms, at bestthis could become some obscure /flag/ lore ngl
>>224802775>this could become some obscure /flag/ lore ngl/flag/ lore iceberg lol
I'm liking the option to change flags on the Reply window.
Speaking of Spain, this was the t-shirt footballers of Real Madrid wore in solidarity of Ceuta.Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Konate protested this though.I am glad Arda (Turkish player) wore it kek.
This was pure torture
one of the possible plans i devised for the 2027 eclipse is seeing it from the summit of Jebel Musa and then enter Ceuta via sea at Benzù with an inflatable duck
>>224820053Illegally entering a country you don't need a visa to enter would be an awesome bit
I love how universities are basically open to everyone (but nobody knows so only students go there) and you can have free bathroom, water, electricity and a place to stay all day>>224820305that would be so sick. I'm already imagining the full police squad pointing their mitras at me while i slowly raise my european passport>señooooor io soy italiano io puedo entrar en espagnaIf only the Belyounech border crossing was still open
>>224826481The love Asians (almost any Asian country) have for AI-generated images is wild.
Reminds me, for work, I had to give bullshit lifelong learning lessons to the local teachers (some of whom were twice my age) on how to incorporate AI-related technology into teaching.At the end, the only question I received was, "Can you make an image of me in Mecca with AI."Crazy how they focus so hard on technology but if they wanna improve the education in that fucking thirdie country, they should stop beating students first.
Example
>>224839782definitely good enough
>the districts of Turkmenistan are now available on OSM>seven new districts were established across four provinces in September 2025
>>224840068How would a flag look? I tried to make one but it didn't look good.
>>224840113Speaking of OSM, when I look at the second levels of Thailand on OSM-Boundaries, it adds small islands as districts so instead of 878+50(Bangkok), it shows 1094 locations.
>>224840423Lanczos is the best compression on average for all flags. others like GIMP's NoAura work better for CoAs or seals but far worse for most flags in generalthat being said, thai names are too long and the just become a line of pixels lol>>224840452yeah that's an OSM problem. Humdata has them correct, and all the subdistricts too!
>>224840932>that being said, thai names are too long and the just become a line of pixels lolAll this effort just to get 878 identical images lmaoThey would look better if they just included the district name because pic-related says: "Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District Administrative Office, Nakhon Ratchasima Province"Even the "administrative office" part is kinda useless.>Humdata has them correct, and all the subdistricts too!Perfect. Subdistrict logos are so aesthetic. But it would be an insane task
>>224841474>But it would be an insane taskthose will be done "on demand", exactly like we would google the municipalities Goslar passes through in Francealthou when that happens, we could even try to fully google one department each? based on his trip (turquoise), i think i will do Pyrenees-Atlantiques; you could do, for example, Gironde?
>>224841955>you could do, for example, Gironde?Absolutely, is there a way I can download just the Gironde Department folder from the repo?
>Find a Laos district Facebook page>It's filled with photos of people posing with dead rats they caughtAbsolute /flag research department/ moment
>>224844449https://vscode.dev/github/flaghunters/Extra-Flags-for-4chan and rightclick on the subfolderyou really want to use the autogoogler for this one; if the commune doesn't have a website or facebook page (that of the municipal association usually have nothing) you can quickly skip aheadset prefix "Mairie de" and suffix "33"also at how many projects are you working on at the same time lol
>>224845995>also at how many projects are you working on at the same time lolWith Gironde, it will be three. Iceland is almost done, Thailand.In fact, I can finish Iceland today maybe. Also, We can just add shape flags to second levels in Laos and call it a day.China and India are also on my mind but I am not working on them right now. Because I don't think those two are urgent.
>>224849420>Laosforgot to send you the shape flags https://www.mediafire.com/file/edua6i5dn0v77ns/Laos_shape_flags.rar/filethese are autogooglable with the "nonlatin" option; if you haven't googled some districts yet, you can take a very quick look at the google results just to be sure you didn't miss anything obvious>Iceland is almost donegreat; priorities are indeed important with big projects
Laos is done!Pic-related is the actual logos hall of fame. +one third level bonus
>>224849599>if you haven't googled some districts yet, you can take a very quick look at the google results just to be sure you didn't miss anything obviousThat was very useful, thank you

>>224867323>>224856296:^)that Iceland research is truly spectacular, i'm so happy we finally made justice to such a great country. Laos was also sorely needed (pic related lol)btw i have a script called the "renamer 2.0" replaces any character(s) with another(s) or splits a filename in correspondence of a certain character(s). I would have done that on '@' with the shape flags
>>224867323>nothing is beyond our reachexcept for the former municipalities of Albania lol
>>224868762Iceland looks beautiful; I'll double-check and send the heraldry wiki guys the logos. I already sent them the Laos ones. Laos is shocking to me; I would have expected at least Vientiane to be in the repo.Are there any other countries without any flags?>I would have done that on '@' with the shape flagsOh lol>>224869288OuchAnd Azerbaijan municipalities lmao.
Btw the reason why I chose that patch:>The NROL-39 mission patch was controversial because it featured a giant octopus wrapped around the Earth with the menacing motto "Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach," which looked like an admission of global mass surveillance.>It was unveiled in December 2013, just months after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked massive global surveillance disclosures that exposed widespread government spying on citizens and foreign leaders.The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) has even crazier patches. Some of them are based on world regions (Mexico/Central America, Germany or Southwest Asia, etc.)
>>224869618>Are there any other countries without any flags?on the gitlab wiki i keep track of the admin structure of countries, how flagged they are, what geodata they have etc. (haven't reviewed all of them yet, i mostly update those when they are flagged/reworked)
Used AutoHotkey to make a key that makes Paint.net add 1 pixel border with just one click.

With AutoHotkey, when I press F12:>Select Magic Wand>Clicks the area to select the background>Deletes the selected area>Open Object Outline>Change 10 px to 1 px>Applies Object Outline>Creates new layer>Selects white>Selects Paint Bucket>Fills the layer with white>Moves white layer down>Selects the original upper layer>Merges DownThis is insane to me as someone who doesn't understand coding stuff at all. This used to take so much time by hand.
