next level would be making an NFC tag or QR code and putting it in my backpack or something, see if people visit it

I wanted to put one on my collar, as like an obvious pendant or cameo.

But it's like, if it doesn't to freely ping any and all things nearby, that onlookers have to opt in, over opt out, what's the point, really.

Not that I'm a latent exhibitionist or anything.

@kitten We are currently very tempted to obtain a GPS tracker for similar reasons :3

But everything seems to work via intermediaries who then put up the data online somewhere, instead of directly sending the GPS data to a specified server we control. We need good privacy violation, not bad privacy violation...

@that that was something I was looking onto as well (in this case not to publish it online, but as an alternative to Google Maps Timeline). I was looking onto Owntracks to do it through tracking my phone, but I also saw OpenHayStack as some kind of "self-hosted airtag" solution with an ESP32 or something, although it depends on having access to a macOS device

@kitten @that have u considered just picking up WiFi hotspots and using BeaconDB or Positon to turn that into coordinates?

the latter has quite a lot of data, and it can be quite accurate in a lot of scenarios

this does remind me i still need to get around to writing docs and the like for my own self hosted device tracking service neocat_googly_shocked

@kitten Hmm, OpenHayStack may actually be achievable since we have a couple of Macs around the house. Thanks for the pointers :D

some kind of wearable NFC tag for increased visibility, see if people dare scanning it
