JA WestenbergRSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.

I only have the HTTP server access logs on my website. And sometimes I have the feeling that more bots crawl my blog than actual people reading it. So I just stopped caring about the statistics and rather enjoy the occasional e-mail that a reader sends to me.

@martin_ueding @patrick_h_lauke @Daojoan yep. What analytics tools are folks using nowadays? Preferably self-hosted!
Ulrik@denzilferreira @martin_ueding @patrick_h_lauke @Daojoan I use Plausible - because it respects your privacy and you can self host if you want to.

I used Matomo (Piwik) for a while, one can host that on a simple PHP+MySQL setup. These days I just take the webserver's HTTPd log and put that into goaccess.
