@stigatle Was the pizza a success? I have to admit, I’ve never had any good home-made pizza. 😂 (Assuming you did everything from scratch, not just frozen pizza.)
@prologic Wow, I didn’t know that existed. 😳 Unsurprisingly, there’s hardly any data available for Germany. 😅

@eapl.me I think we're at a point right now where everyone is seeing every problem as solvable by an LLM. i.e: LLM(s) are the new Hammer right now and everything is a Nail.

@movq @lyse Nice! Always nice to do a walk, and fun to test stuff like GPS and such :) I've been walking a bit as well today, but also had some nice time at home, I work a bit this weekend, so I've spent some time on that. But also we went to the mall and such. Now we're baking pizza. And will watch a movie or something when the kids has gone to sleep tonight. :)
@stigatle Pretty good. 👌 I had an unresistable urge to test that new GPS receiver, so I walked a little over 10 km. 🤣 (Slowly getting up to @lyse’s levels, eh? 😅) Now I’m gonna see what Netflix has to offer. 🎬

And before anyone asks me why I need to build this, self hosting, privacy, etc. No I haven't found any good self-hosted solutions either i can just "borrow", so I'll have to build my own 🤣 Thinking of ingesting the data (addresses) into a Bleve database and using that to drive the "search"

@movq Speaking of GPS stuf... I need to build (_hopefully open sourcing it_) a "Geocoder", is that what we call it? A way to auto-complete an address to a GPS coordinate.

Have a bit of a conundrum I need your thoughts on... I have stuck up early conversations with the developer of a nice little Document database in Go called clover. He has kindly offered to collaborate with me on a v2 rewrite (_or improvements_) to my Bitcask. He very rightfully points out that the project (Bitcask) would benefit greatly from the community (Github in this case) and potential growth from the exposure there. I retorted with Microsoft's recent blatant theft of millions of open source projects to train their CoPilot models without so much as attributing the works they used to drive what is now a sellable product.
What do I do? We're at a bit of a "sticking point" here and I'm not really willing to compromise. Microsoft are basically cheating, stealing assholes and should be sued and the execs who decided it was a good idea to steal content to build their product, thrown in. jail.

@movq Indeed, that's terrible! Back in the days when my mate recorded the bike tours, we noticed that sometimes the reception was really poor. Whenever it took about three to five minutes or so until the location was found, we knew, the GPX is not going to be great that day. Sometimes there was a jump of several kilometers right after starting the track when we couldn't be bothered to wait for enough satellite contact. Our top speed was astronomically high. :-D

@lyse Depends, sometimes it’s within specs (you can expect something like 3 to 15m accuracy 68% of the time, IIUC), sometimes it’s 200m off (like in my test this morning) and doesn’t get better even if you wait and don’t move. But I admit that was an extreme case that I’ve only seen a couple of times.
Obviously I won’t share my real GPS tracks here. 😅 So I made a couple sketches. On a good day, it would look something like this:
https://movq.de/v/f95a556bed/sketch0.png
Green being a GPS track made with a good tracker. It’s already wobbly, even if you’re walking in straight lines, but it mostly matches your actual path. Red is the bad phone. Maybe I could have lived with this if it had been a cheap phone (which it wasn’t). In fact, my previous phone was *way* cheaper but had much better results, comparable to the green line, so this was quite a bit unexpected and disappointing.
On a bad day, it would look more like this:
https://movq.de/v/f95a556bed/sketch1.png
Basically useless.
And most of the time, it would take several minutes to get a “fix” in the first place. Meaning I was standing in front of my house for 5-10 minutes, waiting. The better phones get a fix within 5-30 seconds.
(I suspect that somehow A-GNSS was broken or partially broken on the bad phone, but no idea, really. The GPS hardware is a blackbox.)

@mckinley This is a bit worrisome 🤯 Anyone published mitigations to this? 🤔 Be keen to hear if anyone has blocked this at any network level. I certainly would go that far if Apple doesn't fix their shit™ -- But as the author points out, corporations are very fragile to the state's will (_which I assume means any corporation_) 😱
