I like the fact that my Android phone records my location timeline from Google Maps, but the fact that this is stored in Google servers creeps me out.
I know you can download the entire location history database from Google so I was planning on building a custom app to store and browse this data.
I was also curious if there would be the possibility of making the phone send locations to this app instead of Google, but I don't know much about Android and I don't know if this would be possible.
What do you think about it? Is there already an app like this? Do you think this is a good idea?
Ah I see! Thanks for the explanation, I have pomerium in front of everything using Google as IDP. Then if the app supports header authentication (like grafana) I get automatically logged in, and for those that don’t I have to log in again (a bit inconvenient) I event went as far as forking one and implementing header authentication myself.
I started with an old computer, then I moved to Raspberry Pi’s and now in about to get rid of the last Pi since I’m replacing everting with small Lenovo or Intel PCs.
I have all my configuration as Ansible and Terraform code, so everything can be destroyed and recreated with no effort.
When it comes to the data, I made some bash script to copy, compress, encrypt and upload them encrypted. Not sure if this is the best but it is how I’m dealing with it right now.
The [most requested feature](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/1006) for Immich has just been implemented [by this guy](https://github.com/etnoy)!
Now using Immich makes much more sense since you'll be able to sync with Immich your existing photo galleries!
I’ve been self-hosting Pleroma (Mastodon) for a while as a technical challenge and because I thought it would help. But truth is finding content was a nightmare, and apart from that it was taking all the resources in my machine, and also was receiving network requests like crazy.
In comparison, for Lemmy I just joined a big instance and the experience has been much much better.
