*** n2klb_ is now known as n2klb01:41
attahrinigus: Lookimg to update harbour-thermalcam in chum... if i'm reading the instructions correctly, i should be a maintainer for it in testing? Looks like i'm maybe not - or at least i can't edit there _service file.08:30
attahThanks to whoever fixed that :)17:17
piggz[m]attah: youre a telecoms guy ... any way to know what channel numbers are used by the uk alert system ... there was a wildfire alert on friday, and I didnt get it on sfos17:56
attahpiggz[m]: I actually did the test tool for that... so a reasonable thought, but i'll have to check18:01
attah(i didn't do the tests)18:01
piggz[m]attah: you got the alert on sfos?18:02
attahi haven't gotten any alerts on SFOS - not sure they are running those quite yet in Swederp18:03
attahI just meant that this is scary close to my day job18:04
piggz[m]ah ok18:04
piggz[m]i have various channels enabled in settings, but no idea what channels are used over here18:05
malI wonder if those were either channels 4396 or 439718:06
attahRight, that's a thing now. But not under cellular settings?18:06
malhttps://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/123000_123099/123041/17.04.00_60/ts_123041v170400p.pdf18:06
piggz[m]attah: under Settings > Emergency, in 5.218:07
malcheck chapter 9.4.1.2.218:07
piggz[m]mal: if so, those are not enabled in the UI18:09
attahSounds pretty reasonable. The ones explicitly mentioning fire looks overly specialized.18:09
malyeah, that is something that would be good to know18:09
malpiggz[m]: any way to ask from some government officials there?18:10
piggz[m]i wonder if attah has any links to UK mobile providers that might know18:10
attahI haven't seen an operator in 10 years... i do test tools :)18:11
attahBut indeed, asking seems like the way to go18:12
attahpossibly comparing to Android if they even expose settings18:12
malI wonder if we should add setting for those 4396 and 439718:12
piggz[m]I know my daughter has 'extreme' and 'severe' enabled on her iphone and got the alert18:13
malhmm18:13
maldoes iphone list the channels enabled in those?18:13
attahhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU-Alert18:14
attahThat seems to map extreme and severe to some hex numbers18:14
attah4396 being 112c, level 418:14
malso probably was not that then based on the description that that is used for18:15
malpiggz[m]: does the device use hidl or aidl binder for telephony?18:17
attahDoes a received alert say what id it used in the gui?18:24
PeasantWolfI took a screenshot of it (forgot to disable the alerting gunk on my work phone). says "severe alert", but no number18:29
PeasantWolfwork android phone, i should specify18:29
attahGood info - but not what i meant.18:30
attahI meant that if it doesn't already do that on SFOS, please consider it so we can gradually resolve things like this.18:31
PeasantWolfah, no worires18:31
piggz[m]mal: binder18:32
piggz[m]mal: i checked my wifes Volla .. the message was a 'severe' class, but cant find a channe there18:33
malpiggz[m]: I mean which binder18:33
attahSFOS and wikipedia seems to have the same idea of severe18:36
malyeah, we probably took from the etsi spec I linked, which matches wikipedia18:36
attahVery sensibly so... i just mean that if there was some bonus ones that did not explicitly state it but should still be considered - wikipedia would often accumulate such info over time18:38
malneeds some consideration if those public safety messages should be possible, are those available as option on android or iphone?18:40
malnear the end of this year we should be getting those messages also in finland, makes testing much easier18:43
piggz[m]mal: binder 1.4 + ofono-binder-plugin-ext-mtk18:44
malok18:44
malext plugin should not have any effect on this18:45
malcbs is part of regular telephony api18:45
piggz[m]good to know18:45
malattah: based on logs the cbs message did arrive but for yet unknown reason parsing it failed19:40
attahYeah, the encoding of this is a bitch19:40
malparsing is done in ofono core19:41
malassuming of course the data got there intact19:42
attahNo way some c code would get 7-bit nonsense wrong :D19:44
piggz[m]looks like that code matches upstream ofono too19:51
malpiggz[m]: attah: maybe this is needed https://github.com/sailfishos/ofono/pull/5020:10
piggz[m]ah, so recent too!20:10
attahSounds very promising20:12
piggz[m]mal: i wish we could drop glib from sfos ofono and use upstream/ell ... would benefit upstream to have this function too20:16
attahVery sensible point. Less realistically; i'd have preferred C++, Rust or whatever with decent abstractions in the actual language.20:23
malpiggz[m]: yeah, maybe upstreaming can be considered later, not sure how direct compatible functions exist in ell20:26
piggz[m]ell just replaces the event loop stuff i think20:27
