Think im ahead of the curve on this one, but I applaud you! keep doing it.
or XMPP would work as well
There is a lot, and there are a lot of levels. I am working on this now as well. Escalating from where I was, its a learning process. Too much to type in a single comment/response.
If you would like more info on removing your info from the internet, reducing the amount of spyware on your android phone, de-googling yourself, or limiting how much info you spill while you browse, we can connect and I can share what I have been doing. Ive got plenty I still need to do beyond this, but I am happy to share my lessons learned as it were.

relic4322@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit?8·2 days agothe two I heard about are mysudo.com and privacy.com. I think both are US only. Are they both based in the US? It didnt say on the privacy.com about us page
edit: yes, they are both based in the US.
any non-US based options that offer services to the US?

relic4322@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Announcing CoMaps! Navigate with Privacy - Discover more of your journey!6·2 days agoIt didnt for me. I installed Comaps from fdroid the other day, and it didnt come up on androidauto. I guess I could try installing it from the app store and see.
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims1·3 days agoI just got implemented it a yesterday. Let me check out pangolin. Im just running the traccar server instance in docker on an old laptop and connecting through tailscale at the moment. need to look into a FOSS vpn probably. WIP XD
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims1·4 days agoFWIW, traccar seems to be a great alternative. Set it up today. Docker and app on the phone with tailscale. Works well. Can share docker compose file if there is interest.
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims2·4 days agoWill check it out, thanks!
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Use X without an account (if you really want to ig)7·4 days agoI don’t use it. But sometimes you may find a need to read or search for something that is only on there.
this, 100% this. be afraid.
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims2·5 days agoexactly. I have kids. I got it to keep them safe. had it up till today, so for years and years. pisses me off to no end. I will find a FOSS self hosted solution. There has to be one. It may not be friendly, but it has to exist, lol.
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims2·5 days agoYeah, that was going to be the second part of the question. Was it an all in one solution. There does seem to be a server side ulogger component but it may only be for viewing the data. Ill have to dig into the whole thing more to see what kind of FOSS self-hosted solution makes sense.
If the only thing holding you back from NixOS is my python comment, my issue was with Numpy, which really really demands that you install it globally. Pretty sure you can make it work by using a dev-shell, installing it globally in that shell, then doing everything else in that dev environment normally. I was newish to nixos at the time.
Otherwise I tend to fall back to ubuntu server, but only because it was something I knew. I prefered Centos7 back in the day before RedHat killed Centos. NixOS was my move from there. Been using Alpine as the os in my docker images, but havent really explored a lot of other recent linux os’s at the moment.
relic4322@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims2·5 days agolooking at uLogger now, that looks pretty interesting. Having used it, any reason why I shouldnt give this a go?
Just saw this. Feel like the alternate title could have been “When digital privacy went mainstream”, “I was into privacy before it was cool”, or finally “No I am not wearing a tin foil hat!”
