Site Updates: selfh.st/ed ➡ selfh.st
One of the most common pieces of feedback we've received since launching our publication is how difficult the URL selfh.st/ed is to remember. As a result, we've been slowly rebranding the site to drop the /ed and instead utilize the base domain (selfh.st) to (hopefully) begin alleviating some of these concerns.
We're working in the background to make sure any backlinks to content we've previously shared on the site will continue to work as we make this transition, although RSS feeds may need updated if you'd like to continue receiving updates in your favorite RSS reader.
Thanks, and happy selfh.st/ing!

Self-Hosted Spotlight
Meet Traccar, an open-source platform built to track GPS devices in real-time. The entire platform can be self-hosted, with server, web, Android, and iOS apps that all work together seamlessly to provide on-demand location tracking once configured. Traccar supports a number of useful features, including multiple users, notifications, geofences (to track when devices leave user-defined areas/zones), and trip/stop data. (And yes, the developers provide a Docker image installation option as well!)
