Today was cell broadcast test day in NL. @janvlug and @z3ntu thankfully captured Modemmanager logs. Piped that into my MM testcase and could parse it out all right:
> NL-Alert 04-12-2023 12:00: TESTBERICHT. De overheid waarschuwt je tijdens noodsituaties via NL-Alert. Je leest dan wat je moet doen en waar je meer informatie kan vinden. *** TEST MESSAGE Netherlands Government Public Warning System. No action required.
Next up message assembly and exposing it on DBus.
@agx @janvlug @z3ntu yes, he (Aleksander) is one of many heroes in the FOSS world. I remember he was very helpful when the MMS-related changes were coming together a couple of years ago, with several people helping out from different sides. MMS works fine nowadays.
If you have seen him somewhere in the fedieverse, please let me know.
@martijnbraam @janvlug @z3ntu somewhat similar yes, it's simpler though as those are r/o (whereas the messaging interface can also compose sms), part matching is also somewhat different, and there's a replacement feature to replace outdated alerts.
@martijnbraam @agx @janvlug On Android you can view received cell broadcasts in some menu somewhere.
@agx awesome, every day is getting better and better
@agx Really important to see these features being integrated! Have you looked also already at Advanced Mobile Location of the EU. I did in the past because it suppose to be open but never got the actual SMS number or HTTP endpoint for each country. The spec is open though ans mandantory for compliance in EU: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Mobile_Location
Sailfish OS, Android and iOS have it but is closed source...
@dylanvanassche No, didn't do anything like that yet. Filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/meta-phosh/-/issues/8 to track this.
@agx Oh awesome! Once I find my notes maybe I should put them there? Together we might figure it out!
@dylanvanassche That would be great!
