GoatCounter

GoatCounter is an open source web analytics platform available as a (free) hosted service or self-hosted app. It aims to offer easy to use and meaningful privacy-friendly web analytics as an alternative to Google Analytics or Matomo. There are two ways to run this: as hosted service on goatcounter.com, or run it on your own server. The source code is completely Open Source/Free Software, and it can be self-hosted without restrictions.

Ho trovato il software per integrare le statistiche nel nuovo sito web, ovviamente selfhosted, non si regalano dati di navigazione a nessuno. Non che io ci faccia granchè, a me servono slo anonimizzati, giusto per capire se ci sono argomenti che suscitano più interesse di altri. #goatcounter - https://www.goatcounter.com/

@matthiasott nice article! I'd like to mention #GoatCounter for tracking (although I don't know if it's from Europe):

https://www.goatcounter.com/

I'm using it to get an idea which of my blog posts are most "popular" and it's providing me with a lot of data in my opinion.

wow I got 21 points on #HackerNews

#GoatCounter said I got 17 incoming visits from HackerNews. Given that all hackers use Firefox plus anti tracking and anti ad, I think these 17 are not hackers. Otherwise they would've blocked GoatCounter like my own browser.

But anyway, I enjoy poisoning other people's mind with unconventional things. Let's assume we have poisoned 1-2 minds for now.

Edit: The post is in my personal blog. You can find it in my profile.

Edit2: nevermind. 13 are macOS. They are not hackers. Maybe even not humans. Same goes for 6 which are Windows. But the Linux ones are probably real. Bots usually don't fake Linux user agent.
