  • 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.

  • Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

    Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

  • Yep, after moving from Germany to the UK I was pretty surprised that in the UK you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP.

    In Germany you can get your own DSL/cable/fibre modem and your ISP has to give you the necessary information to get these devices into their network.

  • The IODD is basically a small drive enclosure, not a "stupid" USB drive.

    I was more thinking of devices like this, this or this. Which have the simplicity of a normal USB device (just plug it in and go) and come with an automatically updating label so you can find the correct dongle.

    But yeah, nowadays, I'd probably prefer the IODD thing.

  • I remember various different concepts of USB flash drives with integrated LCDs that would display a label and the remaining capacity. Then they vanished and the only thing left were the Lexar Echo drives. Until a few years ago, when they have been pulled from the markets. Probably, because they didn't work with the now default GPT and its many different partition types.

  • Maybe try to understand his point first?

    From what I’ve gathered, Nix will create an immutable state of HA, but HA requires for additional packages to be downloaded - which NixOS doesn’t support/allow.

    So users will end up with a broken HA install.

    And guess where they will file bug reports about this? (Hint: It won’t be Nix…)

  • Since the Pinecil is running IronOS, it’s just a matter of time for it to also get the fall detection. And apart from the LED ring gimmick, I don’t see any huge advantages over IronOS.

  • It was - in the ancient times. Then, there were 3rd party cookies which you had to manually approve upon the initial creation. And then it went all down south and got abused via CDNs and ad networks.

  • I can’t see what was posted above anymore, but the DeviceCheck API lets app developers store 2 binary digits (that means 4 different states: 00, 01, 10 or 11) per device on Apple’s servers. So, no, these don’t get erased during a Factory Reset as they’re stored on Apple’s servers. But your phone will.
