2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Slightly offtopic
I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.
Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

replacing stock apps with FOSS alternatives..
Organic Maps & OsmAnd~ are the classic map alternatives but i don't use them.

WiFi without internet on a Southwest flight
When I am on a flight and the flight does not provide the flight information, I am using the OsmAnd, https://osmand.net/, to monitor the flight altitude, speed and direction.

Improving your online privacy: An update
Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

Organic Maps
OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.

Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
Umap?

Hello!
If that's not feasible and what you're doing isn't secret then perhaps something like uMap might work? This allows you to add overlays for the things you want to highlight and has a few different styles of basemap that tone down some of the clutter of the default "default" style. It also lets you pull (small amounts) of data into it via Overpass e.g. pre-mapped fishing spots or toilets. This can then be shared as a link or embedded in a site.

If I want to self host a map, would it be faster to have an .osm reader or an SQL database?
Having an OSM basemap overlaid with points is easily possible with uMap, for example https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/

Urban Planning Software?
Have you used the OpenStreetMap ecosystem of ID/JSOM or maybe uMap (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UMap) if you need the data separated from OSM?
- uMap has suffered some sort of data loss, many have lost some of their maps

Android app with easy note-taking functionality
Not an App, but did you take a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UMap? With it you can make personal maps with OSM base layers.

save pins
Depends what you mean by private. For something shareable on the web you might want to try one of the uMap instances, not sure if you can keep them secret though. If you decide to use them I recommend you log into an OSM account first as otherwise it is very easy to lose the edit link.

Alternative to Google My Maps
For public display one of the uMap instances is probably easiest. It should allow you to import your previously exported points and also allows line and area attributes. The share link included embed code for a website. The instance linked by /u/beardy64 is probably the most popular, but there are several listed at my previous link. I would recommend you log in before creating the maps as without a login you have to carefully keep track of you edit URL's if you might ever want to update things.

Any ideas for Firefox search?
If someone is looking for an open-source webinterface for OpenStreetMap that offers a bit more eye candy, I recommend taking a look at Qwant Maps. Another useful OSM tool is uMap (source).
