Signal uses AWS.

I tried both MQTT and just the plain HTTP variant, and I couldn't get either to work. I've fully settled on the latter you mentioned, Traccar. it's pretty much what I've wanted: self-hosted, easy to set up, beautiful web interface. Thanks for the suggestions!

for two reasons, I can't use this.

  1. Android. Me, my family. Our past phones were, our current phones are, and future phones will be Android phones.
  2. I'm looking for whatever it may be to be OSS and self-hostable (if the community name didn't give that implication away)

OwnTracks setup was a bit confusing to me and I never got it working. traccar looks pretty nice though, I'll check it out!

Alternative to Life360? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I want to set up location sharing for my family/friends, but

  • without having a closed source app having access to my location/sensors all the time
  • be able to choose when I want to share

Any recommendations?

Edit for those who find this later: I ended up choosing Traccar suggested by @mbirth@lemmy.ml, but big thanks to everyone who brought some ideas to the table! I'll leave my configs here.

oh my fuck. circular imports.

I set out to create a Discord Bot in Python, then gave up trying to use an easy "proper" server-side language and just did it in TypeScript

The best part about FreeTube unlike other Third-Party clients is that it retains a better YouTube-like suggestions system for any videos you wanna watch next. Discoverability is still a very important thing for me

FOSS developers should be paid.

Signal and Lemmy, gotta be my two favorite genders

Haven't seen much of this around, but I've spun my own instance up and suffice to say it fits my needs.
