My blog has been up and running for a few months now and I wanted to have a better idea of what sort of visitor numbers I was getting but as it is a blog about FOSS, self-hosting and privacy I wasn’t just about to hand data to Google.

I managed to set up a self hosted instance of Rybbit but it was a bit heavier resource wise than other options I have looked at so I had to have a major overhaul in my Proxmox node layout!

    Isn’t matomo like, literally fire-and-forget?

    But also, my main draw from this, is that the simplest solution to analytics is to just not need to profile people (let alone your interlocutors) in the first place. Just like with traffic and transportation problems.

    Wow such a good site. Really interesting articles. Then I though to myself hmm… wish it had an RSS feed and it does, so perfect.

    I look forward to reading any future articles.

      Thank you. It’s just me running the site and I hope to have at least one new article a week.
