@xssfox Maybe I can document it as a feature and frame it as DST criticism.

@xssfox Only now I realise my brain failed to properly parse your original clear and simple question in the first post. I guess the answer is, I'm currently handing out the identifiers on behalf of the APRS Foundation, and they're happily pointing everyone towards my database, and it's also published for downloading on their CDN capacity & domain name.

@xssfox Well, not really, I'm not a member of the APRS Foundation at this time, and I created the aprsorg GitHub org before the foundation was around. I just hang around and volunteer a bit, and hand out identifiers every now and then.

@xssfox Hmm. I'm sorry, I'm not following. Is there some contradiction there?

APRS Device Identification Database (aka tocalls)

History In the past, Bob Bruninga (WB4APR) maintained two documents on the original aprs.org website: * tocalls.txt - DEPRECATED * mic-e-types.txt - DEPRECATED (mic-e-types are not covered in this document) Any vendor or individual who wanted a new APRS device identifier had to contact Bob directly. He took care

@xssfox Ooh lovely. I guess someone needs to look at custom labels for flot plotting or something. At least the data is nicely in UTC in the database.

@xssfox No, at least I'm not aware of any other allocations happening than https://github.com/aprsorg/aprs-deviceid
GitHub - aprsorg/aprs-deviceid: APRS device identification data: tocalls.txt + mic-e-types.txt current master allocations (YAML, JSON, XML)

I procured a searchable web page of the APRS device identifier / TOCALLS database: https://aprsorg.github.io/aprs-deviceid-web/

What's the correct verb to use when I sort of made it, but actually didn't and rather told an LLM to make it instead?

Aprs.fi iOS app version 2.8.0 is out! It'll roll out slowly over the next 7 days, but you can look it up on the app store and update right away if you want to enjoy it fresh and hot from the oven. Mostly bugfixes, but also a new language: Hungarian! Köszönjük to HG4ZKZ and HG1DFB, who apparently had time for this and we are very grateful. Translation updates for Spanish, Traditional Chinese, and Dutch. Thanks to everyone involved! Full change log:

I'm testing a new implementation of the backend API for the aprs.fi iOS app right now. Faster, shinier, more maintainable. If anything seems weird (I mean, more weird than usually), let me know. Just post in the thread here or something.
