#BikeNitePQ: I think this is a re-#cycle, but a multi-part question: * Do you gps track your rides? * If so, do you use a dedicated device or your mobile phone? * Is your ride data on the web? A thing I found out about years ago: #OSMAnd mobile app has a plugin for sharing your location. It requires configuring for your tracking service (I use a Nextcloud instance with a plugin to produce the secure API,) which was easy for me and fuss-free since.

Q4) since that post asks about *sharing* location, I want to shout out the FMD (Find My Device) android app, from F-Droid (open source play store)

It allows friends to text you with the message "fmd locate", and it sends them a map link as a text.. all with no cloud, no vendor, and it doesn't even need cellular data. Just GPS and text messaging.

A very privacy friendly alternative to the Google service.

That's cool! I've had #FindMyDevice on my phone forever, but never thought of it as a #FindMyHusband for $SPOUSE.
