My fortnightly(-ish) waste data dump has just gone up. The daily average is 161g/day, which is pretty good for me. What's more, the largest category is compost, which I suspect is the least environmentally damaging out of them all. In related news I've taken the luxury of getting a couple more bins (paper and plastic) to help with this process. So I'm pretty happy with things this weekend.

It's been a good fortnight on the waste front, probably due to the fact I'm now spending my daytimes in the office rather than at home (although, looking at the trends, I may have to change back to home-working in the not-too-distant future). My daily average over the last 13 days has been 120g/day, which is less than half my 300g daily target. I can't say I'm not pleased. Having said that, looking at the details more closely reveals a more regressive trend. The big shift has been a decrease in compostable waste, while my general waste actually increased slightly on my previous readings. General waste being the most damaging, that's not such a good shift. The numbers that make the difference aren't huge, so it's probably just a fluctuation, but maybe I should be thinking more about category-specific targets in future, rather than combined targets.

Today I terminated my test cwa-server AWS instance. That means any old versions of Contrac will start generating errors if they try to download diagnosis keys. Hopefully that'll encourage anyone still on an old version to move over to the latest using the corona-warn-app production servers.

Hot on the heals of 0.7.3 comes Contrac 0.7.4. This continues in the same spirit as the previous version, but fixing restarting of BLE scanning on Xperia X phones.

A small update to Contrac to bring it to version 0.7.3. This will hopefully fix an issue that prevented the daemon from shuting down the BLE scanning properly on Xperia X devices.

This is a really important release of Contrac (the unofficial Sailfish OS version of Germany's Corona-Warn-App), because on this release it will finally start connecting to Germany's official production servers. I'm crossing my fingers (and all sorts of other appendages) in the hope it works as expected. It has new Chinese and German translations thanks to the great efforts of the dashinfantry and spodermenpls; thank you both! It also has a bunch of other changes mostly aimed at making the switch to the official servers. As always it's available on OpenRepos and github.
