Prometheus and Grafana. VictoriaMetrics as a drop-in replacement for long-term metric storage.

Looks like C++.

Not with this setup, no. I specifically didn’t want The Algorithm™ involved.

It’s much more lightweight, handles Plex integration much better and automatically cuts out ads, promotions, etc.

I moved from TubeArchivist to Pinchflat. Very good.

I’m running GrapheneOS and have no idea what things look like on the fruity phones.

I do this. I self-host rather than use Beeper but the effect is the same. Single client (Element) to my own Matrix server (Synapse) with bridges to WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and Slack.

“Bursted”?

Self-hosted, yes.

I use Matrix with bridges to Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack.

That means a single app that I can communicate on multiple platforms with.

My main conversations happen natively on Matrix but can also talk to “normies” on any of the others.

I use Rethink because I can have a “local firewall” and a WireGuard tunnel at the same time.

That’s the problem. WhatsApp will use GCM for push notifications. No GSF, no GCM.

You don’t need to sign in and it’s not needed for their location services. It works without it. It complains but still works.

GrapheneOS supplies a sandboxed version of those libraries and the underlying location requests don’t go to Google.

You sure can.

Luckily I signed up with fake details (name, address, etc.).

This implies they’re storing the plaintext password.

Ideally the password would be hashed with a salt and then stored. Then it’s a fixed length field and it shouldn’t matter how long the password is.

That’s how they “win”; by making it “not worth the effort”.

From the context, children.

Running GrapheneOS.
