Colors of Noise

Another short status update of what happened on my side last month. One larger blocks are the Phosh 0.45 release, also reviews took a considerable amount of time. From the fun side debugging bananui and coming up with a fix in phoc as well as setting up a small GSM network using osmocom to test more Cell Broadcast thingies were likely the most fun parts.
