Your work is appreciated, cheers!

Hey Daniel, thanks for making this and 4.0 has been a great update! I’ve been using this with owntracks since I saw it posted here a few months back and it’s been great.

There is one thing that I was wondering about - do you have any plans to be able to smooth out wonky data that gets imported? In my case it’s from google takeout. I recently imported my location data from my old google takout backup and location data is all over the place. For example, here is my 2017 trip from the US to Japan and back. I totally understand that this is a problem with the data though

It’s just a hobby so i know I have room for improvement, but the bigger my environment gets the more difficult it is to keep everything completely up to date, like you said. Given that, my main priorities are:

• have as few internet facing services as possible
• use a reverse proxy
• separate external and internal servers with a dmz
• use fail2ban or crowsec on servers that have ports forwarded
• firewall geoblocking
• BACKUPS, local and remote

Now that being said, I’ve started to use ansible playbooks for deploying OS updates. I have a playbook that uses default options when doing an apt upgrade and it also works for the docker engine user prompt.

About 75% of my services are native installs in LXCs and I try to always install by including the app repo so that apt can update it and the other 25% are in docker. I used to use watchtower but that’s no longer maintained, so I do container updates manually as needed.

It’s not perfect, but it’s just for fun so 🤷

My first reaction is: lmao fuck Krafton

My second reaction is: you absolute fucking idiot, what did you expect when you sold to a mega corpo??

I agree but the version of TikTok in the us (with us ownership) is only for the us market. That was spun out to a different company. The global version is still owned by china/btyedance, so the EU has a problem with them.

I agree get rid of it (along with all social media) but TikTok in Europe isn’t owned by the US. That’s still the version owned by China/Bytedance

The US owned version was spun off just for the US market.

TikTok in the US was spun out into a separate company. The global version of TikTok hasn’t changed, so the issues that the EU has with tiktok are still with china/btyedance.

That being said, let’s get rid of social media everywhere!

anything to distract us from the Epstein files

Earlier today I was thinking about a conversation that I had a few weeks ago about Tesla. I mentioned that I would love to have one but I’d never consider buying one while Elon is still with the company. Their response was the normal “eh, I don’t really think about that kind of stuff” and that was that. It was just a polite conversation so we didn’t go into values or beliefs about it, but I’m certain that they were being truthful and didn’t really have any deeper thoughts on it. Most people just simply don’t care.

As for me, I believe voting with your wallet is the strongest thing that any one of us can do, at least while lobbying is still normalized within politics. The billionaires and mega-corps only care about money and they’ll only change if something is affecting their bottom line.

Damn this was NOT on my 2026 bingo card

Shame on tuta for the headline. Sure, they’re European companies, but according to the article everything except the Volla phone is made in China.

Per the article, the Volla phone starts manufacturing in Taiwan (which I 100% support) and then finishes in Germany so that’s the only one of these that I’d actually consider.
