Software adjacent tasks

Software, or software adjacent, tasks of wide ranging sizes.

Small

• Fix formatting and spelling/grammar of Linuxboot book
  • https://github.com/linuxboot/book/pull/93
• Update OpenBeta documentation that includes old goals and is missing instructions for creating routes
• Follow-up on open-tacos/issues/1101 about using a more detailed default map
• Organize event to populate OpenBeta around Munich
• Use DWD instead of wttr.in for weather in status bar
  • Stationslexikon
  • Deutscher Wetterdienst: API
  • For example, from bundesAPI/dwd-api:

  curl 'https://app-prod-ws.warnwetter.de/v30/stationOverviewExtended?stationIds=10865,G005'

  • dwd-api/issues/19 indicates that the official HTML list is no longer valid. The new list has far fewer stations in Munich. The most applicable could be 10865 MUENCHEN STADT
• Publish Qobuz favorites on my website
  • Qobuz does have an API, but it is not publicly available. I requested access, but was denied.
• Map saved items on Kleinanzeigen. With enough items saved it can be nice to try to coordinate pick-up of multiple items by location
• Write an application to fund distribution of binary boot firmware
  • Applying for Investment from the Sovereign Tech Fund
  • STF Application

Large

• Improve bandsintown
  • Allow users to also consider traveling to nearby locations or incorporate concerts into their travel
• Improve Strava
  • Scale activity status in feed based on contact groups and how unique or extreme the activity is
  • People should be able to upload daily activities without feeling like they are spamming or over sharing
  • Multi-sport activities and not just limited to triathlon

Brain dump

• The VIM4 is a SBC with a quad-core 2.2GHz Amlogic SoC that appears to be nicely designed and a potential replacement for the RockPro64 and an interesting target for open source boot firmware
• Investigate Vale for automated spelling and grammar checking in projects (see Vale: enforcing style guidelines for text on LWN)
  • Vale documentation tests on Gitlab
• Evaluate the Arduino Nicla Sense Env that includes temperature, humidity, and indoor/outdoor air sensors
