Wow, I thought that the WiFi version would consume way more. Thanks!

It’s not clear to me if you have photovoltaic panels and can use the data from them or not.
Out of curiosity: how long does the battery last on those devices?
To bypass this problem you can add your domain (with all the third level ones) to your router, pointing to your internal IP
Why do you distinguish on premises from self hosting? If the server is in a server farm or in my basement, I’m still hosting myself my services.
From Wikipedia:
Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone’s own control
A private web server is not defined by its location.
I’ve never heard about those bridges, thanks! I’ll have a look.
Mmm…I haven’t read the article yet (will do!), but why should the owner of a profitable company make it unprofitable? 🤔
WhatsApp bridge? How does it work?
How do you convince your family/friends to switch to a new app on their smartphone and use one just to talk with you/others in the crew?
Well, if you use the CloudFlare WAF with login protection (available in the free tier), you’re pretty much safe since the connection doesn’t arrive at your server if you don’t authenticate in CF first (with Gmail, Microsoft, OTP, etc.) @foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml
Try PassAndroid. It hasn’t been updated in more than a year, but…it works
I haven’t tried it, but having tried Perplexity, I can say that it’s difficult to have something that’s worse than it!
or even pinging GPS satellites (because that leaves a log)
What logs does it leave and where? Satellite is a one way communication system, the devices just receive the satellites signal and calculate the position by themselves.
I’ve been sending my position to my server (with Traccar and GPSlogger) for years and I haven’t had any problems with the battery. It sends out the position every 5 seconds (excessive, I know!!! 🙈) and every 69 seconds when the battery is below 25% and only when it’s not connected to a WiFi network.
But I’m with you about the new Google tracking system. I haven’t had the chance to check: does it work like Apple and can track devices that have been turned off?
I’ll have a look at it. In the meanwhile, I’ve been using Tasker for that: if an SMS from curtains numbers is received with the text “POSITION”, it will reply back with an OpenStreetMap link of the smartphone position.
For Android it’s the default from V10 (if I’m not mistaken)!
Oh, I see! I missed that. Is it possible to block the Internet to Google Play Services?
From what I’ve seen, it can block the Internet for all the OS, not for single apps. But I’m not using that app, so I may be wrong.
Mmm…ok. Do you think that there is a way to hide one of them based on the season?
I’ve tried to use it to ask for help on a couple of other open source projects and I thought that I was using it in the wrong way, that I was missing something. So…I was not! I don’t understand how people could use it for support. Guys talking over each other, questions mixed and lost between other people’s chats, terrible!
