Google’s Timeline is shutting down. So, I spent a weekend self-hosting my own version with OwnTracks, MQTT, and a Synology NAS.

    I’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.

    This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.
