It didnt for me. I installed Comaps from fdroid the other day, and it didnt come up on androidauto. I guess I could try installing it from the app store and see.

I just got implemented it a yesterday. Let me check out pangolin. Im just running the traccar server instance in docker on an old laptop and connecting through tailscale at the moment. need to look into a FOSS vpn probably. WIP XD

FWIW, traccar seems to be a great alternative. Set it up today. Docker and app on the phone with tailscale. Works well. Can share docker compose file if there is interest.

Will check it out, thanks!

I don't use it. But sometimes you may find a need to read or search for something that is only on there.

just saw this 2 hours ago from Sam Bent

exactly. I have kids. I got it to keep them safe. had it up till today, so for years and years. pisses me off to no end. I will find a FOSS self hosted solution. There has to be one. It may not be friendly, but it has to exist, lol.

[–] relic4322@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that was going to be the second part of the question. Was it an all in one solution. There does seem to be a server side ulogger component but it may only be for viewing the data. Ill have to dig into the whole thing more to see what kind of FOSS self-hosted solution makes sense.

If the only thing holding you back from NixOS is my python comment, my issue was with Numpy, which really really demands that you install it globally. Pretty sure you can make it work by using a dev-shell, installing it globally in that shell, then doing everything else in that dev environment normally. I was newish to nixos at the time.

Otherwise I tend to fall back to ubuntu server, but only because it was something I knew. I prefered Centos7 back in the day before RedHat killed Centos. NixOS was my move from there. Been using Alpine as the os in my docker images, but havent really explored a lot of other recent linux os's at the moment.

looking at uLogger now, that looks pretty interesting. Having used it, any reason why I shouldnt give this a go?

I think an important distinction here is that in that statement its saying when you are using services from within the platform. the class action lawsuit is saying they were selling the data prior to this, without notification, without consent, and beyond this scope. Hence why they are in court.

 

This is a bit dated, but the case it not yet resolved. If you search it its still pending and in mediation. Life360 is looking to limit who it sells the info to in order to resolve the case. There is no debate that they were selling the info.

So there are lots of ways to figure out who people are, and I am sure I dont know all of them, but I bet I know some you dont.

Lets put together a list of known ones. Ill start.

(If we dont get a big list, which we may not, for bonus points add techniques to ease drop/intercept information)

fingerprinting techniques

 

Food for thought.

So DNS Black-holing is not new obviously, and what stands out as the go to solution? Pihole probably... and yeah thats what im using because hey its a popular choice. Though I am running it in docker. Combining that with Unbound (also in docker), and configuring outbound DNS to use DNS over TLS, with a few additional minor tweaks, but otherwise mostly standard configuration on both.

Wondering what you guys might be using, and if you are using Pihole and/or Unbound if you have any tips on configuration.

Happy to share my config if there is interest.

 

At this point it not about passive collection, corporations are going to extreme ends to get our data.

I am interested in what people are doing to enforce their privacy while using the web.

I have some things in place, looking to compare with the community.

(btw, I am new here, this is my first post. So uh… Hi )
