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?
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?
hardware has been converted to manufacturing datacenter variants of this hardware.
Some of it has. Not all of it (except for Micron).
nor would it crater consumer hardware demand.
It doesn’t have to. It seems we both agree that server hardware demand clearly impacts consumer supply, and yet for some reason you seem to think this is a one-way street?
It takes time and money to convert manufacturing capacity between consumer hardware to datacenter hardware.
And yet, they did it, very quickly, and will do so again when the market shifts again.
This was already discussed above, please scroll up.
There is no new supply. There doesn’t need to be. The demand is alleviated by it absolutely cratering. I don’t understand why this is confusing.
I mean it would be immediate. Maybe a year to reach a new low.
but if it were that would be the only reason I’d say prices might drop anytime soon
…how about cratering demand? Basically the opposite of what we have now? That’s not enough?
none of the product will be compatible with consumer devices.
…why would it need to be?
I suspect the datacenters will just pivot and repurposed to rent consumers “cloud compute” and cloud subscription services and continue to fuck the entire consumer market for years to come.
I mean they already have been and will continue to be, yes.
They don’t even have water spouts in the keyboard/chassis
…hhhhhwat
They will come down after the AI bubble inevitably pops. Maybe not back to where they were before but they will come back down.
I’m shocked!
This is why we have to stop the COVID tests!
Hey OP I’ve got a bridge to sell you. No, nevermind all those other schlubs that tried to sell you the busted bridges, this one is legit, I promise!
So you don’t care but also simultaneously nothing is more important. Ok.
And yet you cared enough to weigh in.
If they used “installing software” no one would know WTF they were talking about.
Thank you, we should probably have a community for this.
It’s nonsense. These people expect you to say “installing apps from outside the first-party app store” every time you refer to sideloading and suggest that somehow the word has a negative connotation and was made up by corpos to keep you in their silos, even though the word predates the concept altogether.
Cool, thank you!
