open-location-code
Open Location Code is a library to generate short codes, called "plus codes", that can be used as digital addresses where street addresses don't exist. (by google)

A Critical Analysis of the What3Words Geocoding Algorithm
Pluscode is a trademark. The actual standard is called "open location code" and is unrestricted - https://github.com/google/open-location-code/

Evaluation of Location Encoding Systems
Yeah, that seems like a bad design choice. If you look at the spec [0], you can see that they only use "23456789CFGHJMPQRVWX" in the codes. They apparently scored the letters based on how well they can spell 10000 words in 30 languages, without thinking about character similarity. If they had involved actual humans instead of counting letter frequency, they might have noticed that the letter W looks similar to VV, and that its English name is "double U". And tried a letter like N or Y, which would be much harder to confuse.

Houses having names instead of numbers.
I wish https://plus.codes/ took off. The benefit compared to what 3 words is that you can use the closest city to give directions and cells next to each other share the bigger cell name.

r/Starlink Questions Thread - March 2022
New to this so sorry if this is stupid. I've been trying to use https://plus.codes to try to check an address for availability at starlink. Whatever code I put in, it simply tells me afterwards "please enter an address or a plus code". That website seems to give me either a shorter or a longer plus code. Neither of them seems to make the starlink website happy. When I try putting in the address, it doesn't like that either. Confused on where to go from here.

Debugging non responsive dish or cable
I'm guessing you've already looked at the debug in the SL app. This is a good reference on what the debug lines mean. https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools/blob/main/starlink_grpc.py
-
alerting on bad stuff for my SL?
If you want to get really detailed there's a gRPC endpoint in Dishy with a whole lot of debug data you can look at. See these dashboards for instance. I set all this up a long while back but stopped using it, partly because it's not easy and partly because a Ubiquiti bug makes it hard for me to get at the data.

Does Dishy switch satellite if it knows a satellite will go into an obstructed area?
BoresightAzimuth&Elevation in the debug data are not virtual. That's where your dish points physically. I was told in the beginning (2020 - early 2021) dish shared via grpc the serving satellite number and it showed if the connection was prescheduled or fallback but they hid that api from public access. The only way to see what satellites dish connects to is to observe obstruction map filling up after a cold start. The dish doesn't know about obstructions after a cold start though.
