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.
- Android. Me, my family. Our past phones were, our current phones are, and future phones will be Android phones.
- 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!
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
I didn't know cobalt.tools was OSS. cool!
Mint is lovely! I started out with it years ago and still use it today.
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.
for some reason Dark Reader slows down page loading by a lot for me, especially on slow connections
On Librewolf the default is all cookies get cleared. When you go to a site you want to save cookies for, you can easily add it to the whitelist by clicking the lock icon in the URL bar and toggling on the "Keep cookies" option.
Ah, I didn't see that, it hadn't been updated on the IzzyOnDroid repo. I'll update to it now and try out Voyager again!
Interesting! I see that it does have link handling now, although I still don't see it appearing in Lemmy Redirect for me. 
I liked Voyager but it didn't have any link handling last time I used it, not even with Lemmy Redirect, so I just stuck with Thunder.
T-Mobile offers the basic edition (with ads) for free on my plan at least. knowing Netflix though, that probably won't last much longer. oh well, I'll still have the high seas.
this just in: google is still spying on you in every way possible
The next-generation noIM Application in your own workspace
Haven't seen much of this around, but I've spun my own instance up and suffice to say it fits my needs.
