Yeah it’s a maybe, uLogger seems to let you choose which track you want to see. I presume the app lets you log to a specific track so you can have one for each person.

It might depend on what specific experience you’re looking for. For example, I log to Nextcloud and can view it there, but this is more of a “find my phone” plus tracking where I’ve been for myself (similar to Google Location History). While I’m sure I can set it up so others can see, it’s not really designed for it. It would also be a bit awkward as you’d have to log in to Nextcloud in a browser to see the locations (seems it’s possibly the same for uLogger).

I also run Home Assistant for home automation. I trigger automations off of my wife and my locations, but either of us can open the app and see at a glance where the other is (with pre-defined locations, such as “Home”, “School”, “@Dave’s Work”, etc, plus the ability to tap and see the exact location on a map).

That Home Assistant setup is much more useful for either of us seeing where the other is than I think the more dedicated tracking apps are, since they aren’t designed around sharing your location with others and that’s more of a side-function.

I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.

Just remember if you want to share location data with someone else, the app on your phone is only one half. You also need some sort of server ehere you install software for it to report to.

For uLogger that’s probably NextCloud with the PhoneTrack app installed, or OwnTracks.

There are companies that offer paid NextCloud hosting, but if you aren’t hosting it yourself you probably can’t say it meets your privacy requirement.

No that’s expected, as part of your profile info. But if the original authors delete the comments, then they will also be deleted in your saved items.

Yes with ActivityPub there’s always failed federation. But Lemmy will send the delete request out when you delete your account. Other software or instances might not honour it, but the intent is there.

As opposed to reddit who do not remove comments when an account is deleted, only mark it as a comment from a deleted account.

I’m not against Lemmy’s implementation, but it does require you to collect information you need at the time not assume it will always be there.

Bookmarks won’t help if the content gets removed. You’ve got to copy the important information elsewhere.

I tend to use either a note app (Joplin) or a self-hosted wiki for that.

Ah nice! It’s only a month old but looks really good. It has a warning not to run it in production and not to trust it with your data but I’m definitely going to have a play.

Are you literally just wanting to see the location of family members?

If you’re a self-hoster there are options, and that’s pretty much the only way you can know it’s private.

Two that come to mind are:

The PhoneTrack NextCloud app. If you run Nextcloud you can install this in nextcloud, then install a location logger on the phones. I’m more familiar with Android which has options but from a search I think OwnTracks can send to Nextcloud and supports iOS and Android (someone reported their iOS success here).

Home Assistant let’s you see locations of people on a map that is tracked with the Home Assistant mobile app on Android/iOS.

I have found uLogger or the old PhoneTrack app (that connect to GPS on a schedule) to be more accurate than apps that rely on Google telling them when the location has changed (Home Assistant and I think Owntracks). But also much more of a battery drain.

So it depends how often you want the location to be updated. I find running uLogger or PhoneTrack on the phone actually makes Home Assistant get location updates much quicker(I run both for different reasons).

Deleting your account deletes your content, unlike deleting your Reddit account. Hence the linkrot.

I learnt pretty early on that saving posts using the save button was not a good way to save the information 😮‍💨

So, the good thing is, your emails are showing up and not disappearing into the ether like Microsoft.

We had this at work. B2B emails, going from paid Exchange customer to paid Exchange customer. Emails just disappeared without even showing up in junk. Sending email logs showed the email was accepted.

Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.

Me too! The comics are occasional so I always forget I have it in my RSS feed until BAM something like this shows up.

And you still won’t explain why!

No problem! I’ve used it for years, though my home assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 is now doing the pi-hole thing with adguard instead as the original one was having issues. Though you get weird DNS quirks when the machine running DNS also relies on the internet.

Plus that time I did a dumb thing in home assistant to see what would happen, and it brought the internet down.

So I am keen to get another Pi. I highly recommend keeping it on a dedicated device you never touch except for updates!

I ran it on an original Raspberry Pi B which has the same RAM and a slower CPU than the original Zero! It was still in use as a Pi-hole (running the DietPi OS) until recently where it seems to be dying or not keeping up.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard strimmer, though it does seem to be a thing when I search it up. I would say Weed eater, weed whacker, or line trimmer.

My Organic Maps doesn’t have traffic (or doesn’t for my area). I can’t see anything about it online either, except discussions about how it could be implemented.

Where do you find the traffic info? Even if zoomed in to New York I see nothing.

Haha I just searched up this person using Google Drive as swap 😯

I traced this back to a particular rogue website. But yeah I think GNOME uses more RAM anyway, then having everything containerised in Bazzite is extra RAM I’m sure. Then having like 5 chat apps, Steam Firefox, etc open was easily eating up my 16GB RAM. Of course more RAM means more is used because unused RAM is wasted RAM, so it’s hard to judge one system against another.
