When you add a server endpoint in the settings, you're pointing it at your own existing server (Dawarich, Home Assistant, Traccar or any HTTP endpoint).

Ok please forgive me, I'm unfamiliar with this terminology.

Colota actually has automatic file export (Settings > Export Data > Auto-Export)

Oh, sick, I missed that somehow, thanks.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

I still don't see a way to import data? Doesn't do any good to back it up if I can't import it back in?

There is no backup server. Users can create and add one if they like.

No I understood the server is self-hosted...?

Colota offers out of the box file export

I see that but this should be an automatic backup process. Plus there's no way I can see to IMPORT that data somewhere else.

When I use an app like Fitotrack, it automatically makes a backup file periodically and then is automatically backed up to my server with Nextcloud or Syncthing. I don't need a dedicated server for it.

Colota already uses WiFi for home detection (WiFi pause in geofence zones)

How can it do that when it didn't ask me for an SSID? And what's the point of the geofence if it doesn't even use it anyway? I am cornfuse.

When wifi disconnects or/and motion is recognized the GPS starts again.

How is motion recognized without GPS?

This, and other games like it can be played with 1 finger:

Brotato
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
Megabonk
Holocure (100% free)

Why a dedicated backup server instead of just backing up to a local file that can then be backed up to a service of choice?

Also for profiles, it would make more sense to use Bluetooth to detect a vehicle or WiFi to detect when you're home vs. Geofencing or Android Auto or speed. How can it tell when you leave the geofence if the GPS is off?

Usually no permit required if its not connected to the grid 🙂

I do some small-scale solar installs and the rate of pricing decline is insane. Even in a world where everything is getting more expensive, solar panels, electronics, and batteries all continue to rapidly fall in price.

Advertising doesn't have to be the way it is.

Unrelated note:

We finally have the technology

We had the technology in like 1998. RSS doesn't solve this problem because publications stopped offering full articles a long time ago. You still have to open the site to read them.

On another note, the author left out that PC gamer hijacks your browser history to show more articles when you try to back out of the site.

Many distros are run by large companies that don't care. RedHat, Canonical, etc.

Yes, SteamOS for ARM will just be a good first step to getting it on other devices like ARM handhelds.

Interlocks are for people who have had a DUI

Yes I am actually aware, thanks.

ankle monitors should not be able to be accessed remotely.

Ankle monitors monitor location. Interlock devices monitor intoxication levels, and locally send a signal to the vehicle about whether it's ok to drive. The difference should be obvious.

Still no SteamOS for ARM 😞

I don't understand what your point is. No one is saying it's going to happen tomorrow. The point is that fines themselves aren't the problem. The problem is corruption and cronyism. Fines are totally effective when implemented properly.

If it knows it's been tampered with, it doesn't need to phone home, it can be disabled locally...

If you want to circumvent it, it's as simple as disconnecting it. Source: I've done it (professionally)
