Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps – part 1/3
There are on device or even in browser renderers that only need remote or locally stored vector data to render the map. This moves the burde of rendering to user devices that should be more than capable for this today (especially if you use a GPU renderer) and makes you server into just a dumb data pipe that should be able to scale much better & more cheaply.
One such renderer available via Qt/QML:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/location-plugin-mapboxgl.html
Alternatively you can have a local daemon running that does the tile rendering on your device from offline data packs. This way even "legacy" apps requiring simple bitmap tiles will work without (major) changes. One such project providing this (among other APIs) is OSM Scout Server:
There is the OSM Scout Server project, that makes it possible to download various OSM based data packs for offline use:
https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server
Then it provides various services (routing, PoI search, geocoding, etc.) over this data set to all applications running locally on your machine. It targets mainly various mobile Linux distros but works perfectly fine on desktop as well and is available in flatpak form.
Like this all navigation and mapping can share the same data set and no potentially sensitive location related metadata is leaked to a remote server other than what data packs have been initially downloaded.
Also the community run infrastructure just needs to be able to store and store and distribute the ~150 GB of data packs covering Earth but does not need to have any extensive compute and memory requirements to handle lots expensive of individual API queries.

Making an archive out of my grandfather's writings. What OCR scanning and doc mgt system to use?
On tesseract base here is a software to make a scan a text searchable pdf. It take a bit of time and can be a bit tedious but it does the work! https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader/releases It does not work well on cursive writing of course. It's a bit less heavy code sided solution. Good luck!

Best OCR software for extracting pdf to txt - Paid or Free version.
It would help to know a bit more of your usecase. If you're looking to just extract the text (ie, take all the textual content of your PDF and drop it into a separate text document), there are solutions like ABBYY Finereader and gImageReader. If you're looking to make PDFs searchable (keeping the scanned pages, but adding a text layer underneath so you can search and copy from them), there's NAPS2 (which has an additional command line tool for automation) and OCRmyPDF.

Another (multi-platform) one, that packages Tesseract very nicely, is gImageReader[1]

Great OCR failure of 2021, or why normal users don't bother with GNU, GPL and other free, open source software.
Looking at https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/User-Projects-%E2%80%93-3rdParty.html I see for example https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader supports Tesseract 4

PDF Viewer - Issue copying spaces
For my first attempt I used gImageReader (https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader). I scanned the papers to TIF files, and I'm wondering if scanning to PDF or another format would be better.
What are some alternatives?
