Yeah, but I didn’t want to fiddle with some custom settings. The same official postgres container works great with other apps.

I didn’t notice any big drops in network or CPU performance. Usually, because other network traffic had priority. But my server’s HDD constantly rattling along got me thinking that it wasn’t worth it. There are several other containers running on that box and I don’t have that much HDD activity with them.

I did this for a while. However, after subscribing to several groups, there was constant disk activity and it ate network bandwidth. After two months I’ve stopped my server and went back to using a public instance.

That’s what happens if you rely on 3rd party services that are very eager to please anyone that spells out DMC without even waiting for the A.

There should still be the rather tame World Digital Brasil… but their Tinfoil server is down at the moment, it seems.

You might want to read the recent blog post (linked at top) and discussion on Hacker News first.

GitHub supports Jekyll page generation. Or at least did this a few years ago.

And please make sure to also generate an RSS feed for us feed reader users. ;)

You might want to look at Terramaster NASes. E.g. their F4-423 is basically an Intel NUC married to a SATA controller. They have an internal USB port where you can pull the OEM flash drive and insert your own, then install e.g. UnRAID or OpenMediaVault on it.

That will be my next device if my Synology DS415+ finally dies.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said. At that time, the iPhone displayed a message saying it would unlock in 80,000 hours.

This usually happens when you hand your phone to your toddler.

I'm using OwnTracks in HTTP mode as I couldn't be bothered with MQTT. For that, you only need the HTTP(S) endpoint/URL to log to, optionally user credentials and then it's a "TrackerID", "UserID" and "DeviceID" so the receiving server knows who's talking.

Side note: Traccar uses different ports to receive different protocols. For OwnTracks protocol, the correct port is 5144.

My OwnTracks configuration is basically like this:

  • TrackerID: 1
  • DeviceID: Phone
  • UserID: mb
  • URL: https://mytraccarserver.com:5144 (the port itself is HTTP-only IIRC, but I've mapped Traefik Proxy in front of it which handles HTTPS)

After Google Latitude shut down, I went with OwnTracks logging into the light-weight php-owntracks-recorder.

I’ve since migrated that to Traccar (normally used for car fleet management) on server-side and am still using OwnTracks to push the location updates from my iPhone.

See, in Germany you can buy your own cable modem or fibre endpoint and connect that to the copper wire/fibre line.
