Standort bestimmen ohne Apple und Google Die Smartphones von Apple und Google haben einen Dienst eingebaut, der Deinen aktuellen Standort ermittelt. Wer auch hier unabhängig von Big-Tech werden möchte kann die freie BeaconDB nutzen und selbst dazu beitragen, dass sie immer besser wird. Der Beitrag Standort bestimmen ohne Apple und Google erschien zuerst auf kaffeeringe.de.

@sri if you rely on WiFi for location, this is more an issue of contributing more to BeaconDB (most distros use BeaconDB nowadays) #beacondb

Я правильно понимаю, что #beaconDB не поддерживается на #iOS / #iPadOS никак?

Auf meinem #Pixel8a habe ich mir jetzt die inoffizielle #iodeOS Version installiert. Funktioniert wunderbar. #AndroidAuto funktioniert, #microG ist aktiv mit dem Standort Dienst von #BeaconDB.
Der eingebaute Adblocker macht seine Arbeit.

Bei #beacondb gibt's noch Datenlücken um den #baldeneysee herum (und auch in #hattingen). Mag nicht mal jemensch Daten sammeln? https://beacondb.net/ Irgendwann komme ich bestimmt auch wieder dorthin, aber hier gibt's bestimmt auch so genügend Leute, die da sowieso regelmäßig herumradeln (sei es […]

@beacondb, a wireless positioning database and alternative to the now-defunct #MozillaLocationServices 🛰️

Even without a direct satellite connection, #BeaconDB lets your device figure out its position by triangulating from known networks like WiFi hotspots […]

Whilst enjoying the Glastonbury festival, I recorded network data for @beacondb. Though, given the festival has loads of temporary cell tower masts and Wi-Fi infrastructure, will that skew the data? 🤔 #BeaconDB #LocationServices

So. Ich gehe jetzt spazieren und währenddessen die Daten in #BeaconDB verbessern.

Mittlerweile kann #NeoStumbler auch Daten passiv im Hintergrund sammeln.
Einfach aktivieren, GPS aktiv haben und z.B. #beaconDB mit Messwerten füttern 😀

Hyped for NeoStumbler 2.0

#beacondb #neostumbler

Единственный минус, пока навигатор прогревался, местоположение скакало как ебонутое, и испортило мне половину измерений для #beacondb
Ну, надеюсь погрешность в пятьдесят-сто метров не сильно испортит общую картину...

* ethically sourced: opt-in only data collection
* privacy friendly: published information is obfuscated to protect transmitters and contributors
* abuse resistant: updating existing data requires information only available in physical range of a beacon

#beacondb @beacondb.net

Выражаю благодарность московским контрибьюторам в #beacondb за то, что в центре навигация хоть и с погрешностью в 200м, но работает

Ein Vorteil von #neostumbler zum Datensammeln für #beacondb: Wenn dein Zug über irgendwelche Nebenstrecken umgeleitet wird, kommst du zwar immer noch zu spät an, aber du kannst dich freuen die Karte etwas weiter zu vervollständigen :)

Pre-FOSDEM Maps wrap-up <p> As I've done some times previous years, I thought it would be appropriate to give a bit of a status update on goings on with regards to Maps before heading for this year's FOSDEM</p><p><br/></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Refreshed Location Marker</h2><p style="text-align: left;">One of the things that landed since the December update are the new revamped location markers</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wvnqnA4JtkfKoTP0ntk3b9uLN8vvV6pykL64lV2Vu-tr84TCZyjPQ10614mgNXF8bnT3I0qZskmeaYIvO3ui1RUD2Z1qiKPoSI_V4Z8Re6KNCZkIppidTlIs4VCMM5nqmhlhV_gTHEsD5qO7-jhVFPQD6oph2DVYAwYvaMPqPV7J4glr8AimpnK4/s1359/redesigned-location-marker-blue.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="894" data-original-width="1359" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wvnqnA4JtkfKoTP0ntk3b9uLN8vvV6pykL64lV2Vu-tr84TCZyjPQ10614mgNXF8bnT3I0qZskmeaYIvO3ui1RUD2Z1qiKPoSI_V4Z8Re6KNCZkIppidTlIs4VCMM5nqmhlhV_gTHEsD5qO7-jhVFPQD6oph2DVYAwYvaMPqPV7J4glr8AimpnK4/w640-h421/redesigned-location-marker-blue.png" width="640"/></a></div><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKN6cMkCzvAoq2qXJP-epIEOCgvnfcsi_qHPEvI8qMXRvhzQKuIK7GlGC0UDmOTOmAlrlpEWSFhG6k2vkQDPO-_yaLil7ARzJW8CH2s1X7YmgWFmwwitFG8C3_DQAU6KGemdzjLHXXFQl0CkwwHDmay22y-Vr6rgk80ApDVu526UijNlw0KshQt7NT/s1359/redesigned-location-marker-pink.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="894" data-original-width="1359" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKN6cMkCzvAoq2qXJP-epIEOCgvnfcsi_qHPEvI8qMXRvhzQKuIK7GlGC0UDmOTOmAlrlpEWSFhG6k2vkQDPO-_yaLil7ARzJW8CH2s1X7YmgWFmwwitFG8C3_DQAU6KGemdzjLHXXFQl0CkwwHDmay22y-Vr6rgk80ApDVu526UijNlw0KshQt7NT/w640-h421/redesigned-location-marker-pink.png" width="640"/></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">The marker now uses the system accent color, and sports a “torch” indicating the current heading (when known).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuAnEjrswUSU7hm4iOQQC2J8dDzyGky2AhSapKmkjvNe3M4Yq5SNkneMo-lw7rnURxmiD_c5934V8AQIM7LKZ1zTrj2akFuBU3BdGn6D4ajHwyqWCqXB32tJr4uTsl4YsBy9cTtMaN1sv1S74sqdsjAmLKf93mj78qKz03lvqW6roG6_JCYXa0wjnp/s570/redesigned-location-marker-accuracy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="492" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuAnEjrswUSU7hm4iOQQC2J8dDzyGky2AhSapKmkjvNe3M4Yq5SNkneMo-lw7rnURxmiD_c5934V8AQIM7LKZ1zTrj2akFuBU3BdGn6D4ajHwyqWCqXB32tJr4uTsl4YsBy9cTtMaN1sv1S74sqdsjAmLKf93mj78qKz03lvqW6roG6_JCYXa0wjnp/s16000/redesigned-location-marker-accuracy.png"/></a></div><br/><p style="text-align: left;">And the circle indicating approximate accuracy of the location now has an outer contour.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And on these notes, I would also like to take the opportunity to mention the BeaconDB project (<a href="https://beacondb.net/">https://beacondb.net/</a>) with the goal of building a community-sourced wireless positioning database.

The labels are now drawn directly using GSK instead of piggy-backing on a GtkLabel, doing some Cairo drawing on top of that. One additional benefit here is that it also gets rid of some of the remaining usages of the GdkPixbuf APIs (which will be gone in a future GTK 5).<br/></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSNsad-U4qKlophY9Y_Z0r_USwKkEmQpXobNBCExaBbQ67S2yQ4uYQDAI-AnapPkRQE5p6kPgjQNWkWbQ-ORHZES5f5-mW-HrvV2aZ60fksWwB67ID1MU0ePTryP4ijVdglbAy6qNA1zE42aRQbsjnqm-vJBOBII7vMd36C3lUJiBm-Gq6Fn7NBULK/s1197/itinerary-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSNsad-U4qKlophY9Y_Z0r_USwKkEmQpXobNBCExaBbQ67S2yQ4uYQDAI-AnapPkRQE5p6kPgjQNWkWbQ-ORHZES5f5-mW-HrvV2aZ60fksWwB67ID1MU0ePTryP4ijVdglbAy6qNA1zE42aRQbsjnqm-vJBOBII7vMd36C3lUJiBm-Gq6Fn7NBULK/s16000/itinerary-redesign.png"/></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkk2496zVln7RYOdqmeXFkHgCvbI0Ig43tTJHDprTsCTrJuyA7Hnt-0Lh3o6-15FM90opohMhRRmiYXSMIxzt8ldeJrLDhVoy34KSCJX-EWntRpc-BQ190NNTQYytGqktnq_WkX7FdHEOhI8VFlup0kOXOMHERxuitXEERD9ve21xuA-9K7gkMDpt/s1197/itineraries-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkk2496zVln7RYOdqmeXFkHgCvbI0Ig43tTJHDprTsCTrJuyA7Hnt-0Lh3o6-15FM90opohMhRRmiYXSMIxzt8ldeJrLDhVoy34KSCJX-EWntRpc-BQ190NNTQYytGqktnq_WkX7FdHEOhI8VFlup0kOXOMHERxuitXEERD9ve21xuA-9K7gkMDpt/s16000/itineraries-redesign.png"/></a></div><br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM41Ur-9OJeRK_66wNUmc95MafCOhzsr_nzbovVGSPUzA-T1LZ8X0IEvTPW_2lylFGV73R67s6UbQS4gvt8hvk9rOgFh0LP6CPrmOS_SVXum1yxPEtXkItw7QNvf-WNKPR5fYfPOr-YUetoJaUXAuKzifCxXcXsHygFF8-YoIzZrgZV20rsr-dAVqU/s533/transit-board-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="475" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM41Ur-9OJeRK_66wNUmc95MafCOhzsr_nzbovVGSPUzA-T1LZ8X0IEvTPW_2lylFGV73R67s6UbQS4gvt8hvk9rOgFh0LP6CPrmOS_SVXum1yxPEtXkItw7QNvf-WNKPR5fYfPOr-YUetoJaUXAuKzifCxXcXsHygFF8-YoIzZrgZV20rsr-dAVqU/s16000/transit-board-redesign.png"/></a></div><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXKWDQ-VKQxf9FWYkX4lsVYUk9DTzGmlCebQrMLRqnmyGVfHSOvjBVtRytzhiUlE60iSh_H732qGe083gklMA2Z0vD_kHndTlAdyTcBbb00RLDaU_xE15cd513r7zQx10vJfZvHZ8A7FUslC5YJIccbA77vwfLWHDLxFL0RAEfvh7XdiFdFrZHYTY/s1631/dark-transit-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1210" data-original-width="1631" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXKWDQ-VKQxf9FWYkX4lsVYUk9DTzGmlCebQrMLRqnmyGVfHSOvjBVtRytzhiUlE60iSh_H732qGe083gklMA2Z0vD_kHndTlAdyTcBbb00RLDaU_xE15cd513r7zQx10vJfZvHZ8A7FUslC5YJIccbA77vwfLWHDLxFL0RAEfvh7XdiFdFrZHYTY/s16000/dark-transit-redesign.png"/></a></div><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTY64dn-VILz2Z6F-eyJRjQoC2ix-IkQ3KM6nu65gLIldfWfwOHj4gotc1r5edsHjsyc15LGVigRxVixpHcMuY8_SaI31ffRJExLTACUq-t87B4wj6DxaBwdh3i57njI-cdH7tfLrztI3hGmqNVjDztRd_ddSyfO8XxtwMKeO6lTSLB4sb5O8CmnZN/s408/dark-transit-board.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTY64dn-VILz2Z6F-eyJRjQoC2ix-IkQ3KM6nu65gLIldfWfwOHj4gotc1r5edsHjsyc15LGVigRxVixpHcMuY8_SaI31ffRJExLTACUq-t87B4wj6DxaBwdh3i57njI-cdH7tfLrztI3hGmqNVjDztRd_ddSyfO8XxtwMKeO6lTSLB4sb5O8CmnZN/s16000/dark-transit-board.png"/></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> </h2><h2 style="text-align: center;">Transitous Move to MOTIS 2</h2><p style="text-align: left;">On the subject of transit, Transitous has now migrated to the new MOTIS 2 API. And consequently the support in Maps has been updated to use the new API (this is also backported to the stable 47.3 release).</p><p style="text-align: left;">The new API is easier to use, and more in-line with the internal data types in Maps, so the code was also a bit simpler. Also now with the new API we get the walking instructions directly from MOTIS instead of using GraphHopper to compute walking  “legs”.

#geoclue in #debian #bookworm 12.9 is now using #beacondb as location provider, enjoy @beacondb.net @debian.bsky.social

beaconDB

Mozilla #MLS ist leider für immer offline.
#beaconDB ist ein Nachfolger, welcher z.B. mit #microG genutzt werden kann!
Das Projekt sucht gerade noch nach Datenspenden via #NeoStumbler oder #TowerCollector
Startet doch mal die App und geht eine Runde um den Block :)
