@stman well, there were some commercial services that used #CellBroadcast but for the most part it's best feature is the effective mass alerting of people in an area without needing them to install yet another app or signup to yet another service...

Given the hamfisted "Australian Approach" I disagree.

  • Noone here claims #2G or #3G are safe but don't you think stuff like "Emergency Coverage" and #CellBroadcast are useful?

Will be interesting to see if Australia can pull that off without having to reenable 2G, cuz I've not heard of a #4G implementation of it...

📢 Cellbroadcastd 0.0.1 was released yesterday 📢

#cbd provides the following:
- persistent storage of received #CellBroadcast messages
- notifications for user interfaces/DEs to handle
- set channels to subscribe to (based on country)
- CLI tool for inspection/debugging purposes

gitlab.freedesktop.org/devrtz/

Many thanks to @NGIZero for funding, @agx for involving me and tons of review and @snwh for UI design!

GitLabcellbroadcastd 0.0.1 · Evangelos Ribeiro Tzaras / cellbroadcastd · GitLab First cellbroadcastd release Provide permanent storage for received cell broadcast message Set modem channel's based on country Allow to (optionally) send...
Continued thread

@devrtz @NGIZero @snwh …and as a service to user interfaces/DEs that don't want to add explicit #CellBroadcast support #cbd can now send notifications. Just enabling the setting is enough.

This is configurable on a severity level so you could use a system modal dialog for high severity events and notifications for low severity ones. This is (likely) how we'll wire it up in #phosh once everything has settled in.

Another #Cellbroadcast bit coming to #phosh / #LinuxMobile. The results of the users choice are set in the modem via a small daemon based on information we're getting from mobile-broadband-provider-info. That way only the tiny UI bit is DE specific, the other bits can be reused on other platforms as is. @devrtz is working on adding persistent storage to keep a message history.

Thanks to @NGIZero for supporting this and @snwh for the UI design.

@FediNINA_Bielefeld @social.prepedia.org funzt unter Mastodon, ===b :) jedoch bei mir ohne Ton/Viberation :( ----
--- #CellBroadCast auf gut durchgereifte Handys wie das Siemens #S35i, wo man es bereits laut Handbuch 07/ 2000 S. 47 unter Meldungen > CB-Dienste aktivieren kann,
funktioniert der spezielle #DE-Alert leider nicht :(

Dass es bei bei Cellbroadcast-Warnungen extra die Kategorie "Testalarme" gibt, damit die Menschen einen Testalarm auch als solchen erkennen können? Das Fax scheint noch nicht beim deutschen Katastrophenschutz angekommen zu sein 🤷

In #Hessen setzen wir beim Testen auf die beiden Gefahrenstufen "hoch" und "Extreme Gefahr" mit einem Text, der keinerlei Hinweis bzgl. eines Testalarms enthält. Sehr vertrauenswürdig!
