I’m:

  • Not American
  • Not far-left (certainly heaps far away from “right” tho)
  • Not banned from Reddit

Guess I’m not here, the more ya know

I mean, from an environmental standpoint yeah please don’t.

But other than that, I don’t wish much success upon Musk.

Well yeah and they have one for 140. Seems pretty scummy to me.

Being German doesn’t make it good.

A €140 gold plated USB cable is pure snake oil.

Fair enough I guess

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Can someone explain? I have no idea what I’m looking at tbh lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Very interesting, I’d love to hear your opinion about it after using it for a month or so

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Well what is there to choose from? Qualcomm didn’t deliver on their promised Linux support… most other SoCs are either poorly supported or pretty weak

First sane thing that clown’s muttered

Yeah sounds like they could’ve just scraped that tbh?

 
 
 

BeaconDB has been a thing for a while now and there is a decent amount of data already... but ideally you'd want it to be reliable in as many places as possible.

You can also use it as your location provider with geoclue (default on heaps of Linux distros) and microG on Android which I find incredibly useful on my Laptop!

So please, if you have an Android phone, consider contributing. It literally takes seconds to set up and requires no account or API keys.

This section on the official website lists some awesome apps to use:

NeoStumbler

  • user friendly app for easily submitting new coverage
  • download on F-Droid or GitHub
  • as of version 1.5.1, just click yes when prompted to set the endpoint to beaconDB
    • for older versions: in Settings -> Endpoint -> Suggested services, select beaconDB to automatically apply the correct configuration

Tower Collector

  • long established app for collecting cell towers
  • download on F-Droid or Google Play
  • the latest versions of Tower Collector upload to beaconDB by default!

Network Survey new!

  • robust tool for comprehensive local data collection
  • download on F-Droid or Google Play
  • on the main screen, under Upload to Database, open Upload Settings to enable submitting data to beaconDB

As a bonus, here are my current NeoStumbler stats after a few days of mapping here in the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main region in Germany :)
