Anyone just hates how some apps can disable screenshots? in c/[email protected]

GOS does allow taking screenshots, but they come out to be an empty black image.

how to disable this annoying notification in c/[email protected]

See from the notification settings if this notification is categorized under some head. And if the category is not catch all, you may disable notification for that category. Otherwise blocking all notification or switching to alternative app would be the last option.

Using OsmAnd~ navigation from Google Maps Web search in c/[email protected]

So far I haven't done anything apart from Share from Google Maps Web and Open with OsmAnd~. I have not faced such errorneous behaviour. Proabably because I have never shared a pin, and always shared places which I have found through Google Maps.

I will try more with pins and custom locations, and let you know.

I usually open the Google Maps Web in an incognito window. But I'd definitely try the App you recommended.

Just a quick question, if you happen to know the App workings - Does this App clears the data of web-view on close? Or the Search history persists over the usage? Apart from the android app data clear option, is there any internal auto-clear option?

Hi folks,

I recently migrated to GrapheneOS and am happy with all the open-source, privacy centric apps except for navigation. In my region, OSM has limited mapping data for places, businesses, and landmarks. I contribute whenever I can, but often I can't find the place I need and have to rely on someone else using Google Maps for navigation.

I tried using Google Maps in the browser, but live navigation isn't available. I used to pre-plan routes on Google Maps on my PC, get the coordinates, and input them into OSM. However, that process was very tedious.

Today, I learned that I can use the "Share Place" feature of Google Maps Web. Among the share options - I can use OsmAnd~ to directly open that place in the OsmAnd~ navigation app.

I was about to give in and install the Google Maps app, but then I stumbled upon this feature. Many of you might already know of this feature, but I didn't, and I'm really happy that such feature exists.

Nevertheless, I'd still request OSM users to keep contributing places. So that we would not even have to rely on the browser based Google Maps.

Not exactly a DeGoogle guide, but I believe it might help transitioning.

[Question] Self hosted setup for monitoring Self-hosted services? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all. I just set-up my first self-hosting server with NextCloud, Immich and a VPN server. I was wondering if there is a tool or layer of tools which would help me monitor my server and the services including running stats, resource usage stats, system logs, access logs, etc?

I read that Grafana Loki along with Prometheus could possibly help me with this. I just wanted to ask that - should I explore these two tools or do we have some other and better(suiting to my needs) tools? Please recommend Open Source tools only. Preferably Docker, or Linux based otherwise. Thank you :))
