Looking for Smartwatch with SIM/eSIM (LTE) and GPS with sensor data acces

Hello

I'm looking for smartwatch/band options that have LTE (no phone required to be paired), on which I can install my own app, or that provides APIs via a cloud service, to be able to fetch location (GPS) and other sensors data (battery, accelerometer, etc).

Requirements:

* Must work standalone (no smartphone nearby, except maybe for the initial setup)
* Needs **SIM/eSIM** for connectivity and **GPS** for location.
* I need to access **location and battery level automatically**, ideally via API (either the manufacturer’s cloud API or my own app running on the device).

Optionally, it should be able to send SMSs with the data, in cases of bad coverage.

What I've found are closed-source without API, or using WearOS (samsung, xiaomi, garmin) but quite expensive for my needs. Also looked into kids smartwatches but these are very closed-systems and not very reliable anyway, with terrible battery life.

Any help is appreaciated. Thank you

AMA: We’re an open source company from Germany employing 21 people: Ask us anything!

We’re putting up this post a bit ahead of time, so you can think of questions and post from whichever time zone you’re in.

We’ll start answering from 3PM CEST until we either run out of questions or we go home for the night - but you can keep posting more questions if you want, we’ll check in in the coming days as well!

A big Dankeschön to the mods for their amazing cooperation in setting all of this up together!

\---------------------------------------------------------

Hello fellow open-source enthusiasts!

A little bit about us:

We at Icinga are a team of 21 people working together on our flagships Icinga and Icinga Web, its modules and extensions, and a bunch of other projects in the open source monitoring world. You can find pretty much all we do over on our GitHub.

Icinga started out as an open source project, as a fork of Nagios, back in 2009. Since then, it’s been completely rewritten and grown into its own monitoring platform, shaped by contributions from people all over the world. Community and openness have always been at the heart of it, and that’s something we’re making sure to keep.

Our goal is straightforward: build a strong open source monitoring tool and keep improving it, so you can monitor your entire infrastructure with confidence. That means keeping up with new requirements and pushing new ideas forward.

We’ve been part of the monitoring community for many years, and we work with companies of all sizes to better understand the real-world challenges of running large and diverse environments.

In 2018 we set up Icinga GmbH to make sure there’s stable funding and proper product management behind the project. These days we’ve got a partner network, and we provide services, support and training for folks who need it. Our home base is Nuremberg, Germany, where we still see each other regularly in our offices.

\---------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to ask us anything: technical, business related, community related, fun, or completely random. We’re happy to talk monitoring, open source, company life, or whatever else comes to mind.

You can also upvote the questions you want to see answered first!

We’ll be using our shared u/icinga and note who is answering with a /Name to protect everyone's privacy / activity on here :)

Why does Firefox no longer offer an APK file on its website?

After getting sick with all the tacking data Google had on me (https://myaccount.google.com), I took my phone completely off-grid. Installed LineageOS. Setup service with Ooma, and ported my old number there. Removed my SIM. Installed Session for texting. And now I'm trying to install a modern web browser, but none of them offer apks on their sites anymore.

Is there a reason for this?

network monitor that shows which process is making which connection with packet inspection

Hey r/opensource! I've been working on RustNet, an Apache 2.0 licensed network monitoring tool that combines process identification with deep packet inspection in a terminal UI.

GitHub: https://github.com/domcyrus/rustnet

# The Problem

I wanted to see what my OS and applications were actually doing on the network - what telemetry was being sent, what services were phoning home, etc. Existing tools either show processes OR packet contents, but not both together in real-time.

# What RustNet Does

Process + Network correlation: See which process makes each connection
Deep packet inspection: Identifies HTTP hosts, TLS SNI, DNS queries, QUIC protocol
Real-time monitoring: Watch connections as they happen
Terminal UI: Clean interface with (some) vim keybindings, no GUI (needed)
Filter: Ability to filter traffic in real-time

# Installation

# macOS
brew tap domcyrus/rustnet
brew install rustnet

# Linux (build from source)
git clone
https://github.com/domcyrus/rustnet
cd rustnet
cargo build --release

# Use Cases

Monitor OS telemetry and application phone-home behavior
Debug network issues without juggling multiple tools
Audit what data might be leaving your network
Learn about network protocols by watching them in action

# Current State & Roadmap

Working well on Linux and macOS. Windows support is experimental. Planning to add:

SSH protocol detection
More application protocols (gRPC)
Linux eBPF process socket tracker using kprobe events to find process name & pid

# Contributing

Looking for contributors! Areas where help would be appreciated:

Windows support (unfortunately don't know windows very well, sorry)
Additional protocol detection

# License

Apache 2.0 - Use it freely in personal or commercial projects.

I would love feedback from the community on features you'd find useful or any issues you encounter. What protocols would you most like to see detected?

How viable would be open source chip design?

I was thinking of trying to make an open source hardware design as hobby for a GPU... in a few years. Now since open source software can be even more advanced or eprformant than proprietary ones, how viable would be for the community to build and iterate on real hardware design? Afaik FPGAs can be used to quickly and affordably test the chip routing, so it's not that unimaginable for an open source programmer to contribute in their free time.

When it comes to AI there were several serious breakthroughs made in open source models. Now that the whole industry depends on many powerful open-source technologies, and that there are some open-source GPU projects, would it be possible for the community to come close to the big players in the field?

How do I pick open-source projects to start contributing to?

Yo everyone,



I’m in 3rd year of engineering, kinda into computers and electronics. I know Java, Flutter, Node.js, frontend dev, DBMS.

I wanna get into open source — like actually fix stuff, add small features, not just typo PRs. Also ngl, would be cool if it adds some weight to my resume later.

Problem is… I don’t really know what projects to jump on. There are so many. I’d prefer something active, beginner-friendly, where I won’t get roasted for asking dumb questions 😂

Any project suggestions or tips on how to find the right issues would really help.

How do you think about so-called overmarketing in open-source projects?

What is the bar for overmarketing? And I'm just curious - is it fair to say an open-source project is overmarketing? Because in most open-source projects, maintainers gain no money, only praise and fame. I agree that misleading language and benchmarks are highly problematic, as they're essentially fraudulent. But what about simply marketing frequently to gain attention - is that problematic too?

Is there a Forest productivity alternative??

Hi I'm a broke college student and can't pay the premium features Forest app offer, and I'm asking for help or any recommendations for any alternative, more important that when first timer finishes (study timer)a second timer will automatically start (rest timer) and most important that will force my phone not exit the app, kinda what Forest does

So if anyone know something similar it will be of great help :'))

I got tired of naming git branches, so I built a CLI tool that uses AI to generate them from GitHub issues

Every time I start working on a GitHub issue, I spend way too much mental energy coming up with a "good" branch name. You know the drill:

- fix-thing (lazy)
- feature-add-user-authentication-with-proper-validation-and-error-handling (way too long)
- asdf (gave up entirely)

So I built gbai - a CLI tool that reads GitHub issues and uses AI to generate clean, consistent branch names automatically.

## How it works:
# Instead of this painful workflow:
# 1. Read the GitHub issue
# 2. Think of a branch name
# 3. Type: git checkout -b whatever-i-came-up-with

# Just do this:
gbai https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123
# or even shorter:
gbai 123

# It fetches the issue, generates a proper name, and creates the branch



It's saved me from the "what should I name this branch?" context switch dozens of times already.

GitHub: https://github.com/that-one-arab/gbai
NPM: npm install -g gbai

If you find it useful, a would mean a lot! Always looking for feedback and contributions too.

A university survey about PR Review workflows

Hey everyone hope this is a good place to post this! We're building PR review tooling for our university and following discovery best practices by understanding real problems before building solutions. Rather than asking "what features do you want?", we want to hear about specific times you've been frustrated or slowed down by pull request review workflows. The survery should take 3-5 minutes.

Google Survey Link

We're looking for actual stories and experiences - the kind of insights that lead to tools that actually help vs. adding more noise to your workflow. If this resonates and you have 10 min for a follow-up chat, even better!

Can a DevOps engineer really contribute to open source projects?

I've always wanted to make and contribute as much as I could to open source projects, whatever they are, but time I shifted my view from programming into DevOps but later I realized I enjoy contributing but now lost the skill to program properly and I also still like being a DevOps engineer.

I understand that this is a weird "dilemma" but I genuinely want to know how I could be useful to open source projects, big or small, as all I can see is people either proficient with years of programming skills that haven't been lost or AI and when I ask people usually say "You can't really do anything useful for open source projects" so I thought to check if that's true or not.

Lilt - A Lightweight Tool to Convert Hi-Res FLAC Files

Lilt - A Lightweight Tool to Convert Hi-Res FLAC Files

Hey All,

I recently found my old and trusty iPod Classic. It was broken, but I fixed it, and replaced it with modern parts like SD card and better battery, and even a wireless charger etc. But here's the thing: my music library is full of and high-res FLAC files downloaded in HiFi quality, and normal res FLACs ripped from CD. Turns out, the DACs on iPod Classics cannot fully decode HiFi FLAC files, they only support up to 16-bit/48kHz, and even then, playback is spotty with high sample rates. I tried a bunch of existing tools like foobar2000 or command-line hacks, but they either stripped metadata (bye-bye album art and tags), didn't handle batch conversion well, or required a ton of setup on Windows/macOS/Linux.

Frustrated, I decided to build my own: **Lilt** (Lightweight Intelligent Lossless Transcoder). It's a simple Go-based CLI tool that converts your Hi-Res FLACs to iPod-friendly 16-bit versions while preserving all ID3 tags and cover art. No more fiddling with half-baked solutions – it just works, cross-platform, and even has Docker support if you hate installing dependencies.

"Liling" is also a traditional singing style from Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man that is soothing and light.

So here's what I came up with:

[https://github.com/Ardakilic/lilt](https://github.com/Ardakilic/lilt)

## What It Does
- Converts 24-bit Hi-Res FLAC files to 16-bit FLAC (44.1kHz or 48kHz sample rate, depending on the source).
- Downsamples high sample rates intelligently: e.g., 96kHz/192kHz/384kHz → 48kHz; 88.2kHz/176.4kHz/352.8kHz → 44.1kHz.
- Leaves existing 16-bit FLACs untouched to save time.
- Copies MP3s as-is (no conversion needed).
- Optionally copies album art images (JPG/PNG) from your source folder.
- Preserves the original folder structure in the output directory.

Perfect for getting your massive library onto that iPod without losing quality where it matters or the metadata that makes it feel personal.

## How It Works
Under the hood, Lilt is written in Go for speed and portability (works on Windows, macOS, Linux, x64, ARM, etc.). It recursively scans your source directory for FLAC and MP3 files:

1. For 24-bit FLACs, it uses **SoX** (Sound eXchange) or Sox_ng to dither and downsample to 16-bit with multi-threading for fast batch processing.
2. **FFmpeg** handles copying over ID3 tags (artist, album, lyrics, etc.) and embedded cover art seamlessly.
3. If a conversion fails, it gracefully copies the original file.
4. For containerized ease, it can run SoX/FFmpeg via **Docker** – no local installs needed. Defaults to a lightweight SoX-NG [image](https://github.com/ardakilic/sox_ng_dockerized) I maintain.
5. Outputs to a "transcoded" folder (or your specified target) with the same structure.

It's lightweight (single binary, ~10MB), open-source under MIT, and even has a self-update feature.

## Quick Start & Examples

### Installation
Grab a pre-built binary from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Ardakilic/lilt/releases) or build from source with Go.

For quick install on macOS/Linux:
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ardakilic/lilt/main/install.sh | bash
```

### Usage Examples

Basic conversion Using Docker (no local deps):
```bash
lilt ~/Music/MyHiResAlbum --target-dir ~/Music/MyiPodReady --use-docker
```

Basic conversion (local SoX/FFmpeg assumed installed):
```bash
# macOS/Linux
lilt ~/Music/MyHiResAlbum --target-dir ~/Music/MyiPodReady --copy-images

# Windows
lilt.exe "C:\Music\MyHiResAlbum" --target-dir "C:\Music\MyiPodReady" --copy-images
```

It'll process a whole album in minutes. For a 100GB library, expect it to take a few hours depending on your hardware.

Full docs in the [README](https://github.com/Ardakilic/lilt).

## Why I Built This
Honestly, it started as a weekend project to fix my iPod woes, but it grew into something useful for anyone with legacy players or space constraints.

Feedback welcome! What do you think? Tried similar tools?
