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 😀

@zwarf Found it:

Are you already collecting wireless information like wifi points and GSM antennas for #beaconDB?

Building a #bigtech independent database with such information is important for #DigitalSovereignty.

The #MobileLinux eco system already uses beaconDB for determining the position of devices when there is no #GPS.

@AntoineD @e_mydata @gael @murena @microg #BeaconDB. je ne me rapelle pas comment je l'ai configuré :(

@overflorian je ne me rappelle plus mais il me semble que sur #ironfox est déjà configuré pour recevoir les données de #beacondb.
Mais pour avoir de nouvelle donnée il faut quand même passer par #neostumbler ou alternative

@beacondb

I agree that it's not a great solution, but it seems like the only thing we have at the moment. I use both in my SSID's. Yes, I know that my neighbors can see that I'd rather Google / Microsoft don't scan my SSID's, but I see that as a good thing and hopefully (according to their statements) it gets MS/Goog to skip my SSID's.

I wish there was a way I could give access to Beacon but not Google/Microsoft. Although I guess they can still use the Beacon DB, too as the license is more permissive than copyleft, right?

Reviewing the @beacondb project map found a curious entry. Someone recorded data on a direct (!!!) flight from Russia to Germany.

For those who may not be aware, direct flights between #Russia and #EU have been closed since 2022 (#sanctions). But apparently only for ordinary people... Well "everyone is equal before the law, but someone is more equal".

Note: #beaconDB project is a wireless geolocation database aimed at replacing Mozilla Location Services. And it's been around since July 2024.

#Vorstellungsrunde

Moin ich stell mich mal vor! Lebe seit nem Jahr in #Berlin, mache #Foodsharing, bin ein kleines bisschen Nerd (#Linux, #GrapheneOS, #OpenStreetMap, #BeaconDB) und versuche mein Wissen weiterzugeben :)

Seit einigen Jahren #Vegan, für meine Gesundheit, die Tiere und die Gesundheit des Planeten!

Fahre nur #Fahrrad trotz Führerschein, bin Klimaaktivist und hab Lust auf #Natur und Menschlichkeit anstatt Egoismus und Konsum.

#Introduction #Vorstellung #AboutMe #NeuHier

@arturcoelho , desculpa o abuso. Há algum canal de comunicação por meio do qual possas tentar convencer os professores de TIC a colaborar no projeto #beacondb . Também já pensei em enviar um email para as associações de estudantes de faculdades de #engenharia #informatica . Era bom conseguirmos cobrir a maior parte do país...

Attention #BeaconDB contributors!

#Neostumbler 2.0.0 is out, bringing the option to exclude Wifis based on their name (SSID). This is important to exclude mobile hotspots and other moving wifis, that would mess up results.

Also it allows us to respect the "optout" and "nomap" SSIDs, used to prevent scanning.

BeaconDB has the "Common Network Index", copy the contents of these files into the field in NeoStumbler:

https://codeberg.org/beacondb/common-network-index/src/branch/main/data

@beacondb@lemmy.dbzer0.com @beacondb@mapstodon.space

126.800 uploads to #BeaconDB!

Just cracked 300.000 wifis, together with 5.100 cell towers (from end of october)

Now the small cities #Uelzen and #Wolfenbüttel are explored a bit! Help #DigitalSovereignty and #CyberResilience and contribute!

#NeoStumbler is on #Accrescent too, which is the most secure way to get the app.

Dont forget to donate, that stuff costs money!

Wow! What is this!? 😮 #beaconDB

Uuuauuuuu vê-se que muita malta foi passar a Páscoa na terra ou passear. Força #beacondb

Any #DataScience people here?

I have a huge #BeaconDB dataset here, recorded with #NeoStumbler.

I would like to play around with it a bit, display densities of radio devices on a map.

I know #QGis, is it reasonably easy to import a CSV file there, assign the coordinates to some columns etc?

Alternatively I know a bit of #R, but #RStudio is #Electron now, so that could get a hassle XD

Btw, there is a #Fedora #COPR for R-Cran packages, how is the situation on #NixOS?

Hyped for NeoStumbler 2.0

BeaconDB: alternatywna usługa AGPS dla Google/Apple Location Services

Przez lata jedyną alternatywą dla Google/Apple Location Services była Mozilla Location Services, jednak została ona zamknięta w 2024 roku. Zaraz po zamknięciu MLS na horyzoncie pojawił się BeaconDB, który szybko zyskał sympatię byłych użytkowników MLSu. Najlepsza część? Tym projektem zarządza tylko jeden Australijczyk – Joel Koen.
