  3. Plausible Analytics. Open source, based in the EU. No cookies. No personal data collected. Script size under 1 KB.

    Google Analytics collects behavioral data, builds advertising profiles, and routes it through US servers subject to CLOUD Act and FISA 702.

    Plausible counts page views and respects the person behind them. We use it on only-eu.eu ourselves.

  5. RE: mstdn.thms.uk/@michael/1161303

    In somewhat related news: what would be a good and affordable piece of hardware to self host something like #bitwarden on in my own closet?

    Ideally with some room to add other ‘stuff’ such as #plausible , and maybe even this mastodon instance on the same piece of hardware?

  6. Quick new blog post: Uptime Kuma has recently released version 2.1, and you can now add Plausible Analytics to your status pages.

    Because I like tinkering with stuff, I wanted to try this out, but the setup is - to put it mildly - not at all obvious.

    So I wrote down what you need to do in order to add Plausible to your Uptime Kuma status page:

  13. Some suggestions of open source tools for data #analytics for people thinking which tools to use or consider to use.

    #Plausible for #web analytics. It's very lightweight and #privacy-friendly, #GDPR-compliant. It's possible to self-host, but their #SaaS offering is affordable and meets needs.

    #Metabase (self-hosted) for #business intelligence and organizing business/customer #data. It takes some time to configure and prepare #datasets, but for long-term is worthy.

    #Clickhouse for sub-second #OLAP analytics.

    Depending on projects/business scenarios, Apache Software Foundation's tools like #Doris, #Airflow, #Druid, #Flink, #Cassandra. They require some time to learn, but it's good idea to be familiar with them.

  14. @davidbardos @sponkae I'm on Proton Unlimited plan. I've selfhosted #Nextcloud for Office suite. ( Works with Markdown and LibreOffice). Signal for chats, @Vivaldi for browser with #Ecosia and #Startpage. Moved from Wordpress to #kirbycms. Ofc, #Obsidian. #Tally for forms & surveys. #Brevo for email marketing & #Plausible for web analytics. Using fonts on my website from Atipo Foundry. Testing #Ellipsus for collaborative writing & editing.

  15. Niektórzy nadal nie wiedzą, że może i #GoogleAnalytics jest potężny, ale nie jest jedynym wyborem przy monitorowaniu aplikacji internetowej, a do tego jest zamknięty. Jakie są alternatywy? Wbrew pozorom, jest ich całkiem dużo i można je samemu hostować.

  16. We added an integration guide for web analytics. Cookie-less simple analytics are on vogue, fingerprinting is not perfect. #fathom #rybbit #plausible.
    docs.fortrabbit.com/integratio

  17. Trying out umami.is, self-hosted with #Coolify of course. I've been using #Plausible for quite a while now, generally quite happy with it, but I want to self-host and self-hosting Plausible means loosing access to some features.

    First impression of #Umami is very good, it has some really nice analytics like Journeys and Sessions. But why oh why doesn't it offer a way to import data? :(

  18. What's the opinion on tools like Plausible, Rybbit or any other analytics tools around here ?
    I recently deployed Rybbit for a couple of my services, to be able to see who visits them without having to dig through logs

    Are other people in the selfhosting community doing something similar, for the love of data or other reasons ?

  19. RE: androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/1

    Turns out this was actually 108 gigabytes. Either way, I've now migrated from #Plausible to #Umami for my analytics needs and was able to transfer all my data seamlessly. Hopefully I won't have to switch to something else again, but just in case I did provision stats01, stats02 and stats03 domains for experiments :P

  20. I present to you - probably my worst mastodon-related idea yet:

    I've managed to add Plausible to my Mastodon instance:

    blog.thms.uk/2026/01/adding-pl

    Is it pointless? Yes.
    Is it potentially dangerous? 100%.
    Do I recommend you do it? Absolutely not!

    But it was a fun little experiment ...

    #mastoadmin #plausible

  21. I really need to stop using #Plausible, the disk space usage from its Clickhouse dependency is just patently absurd. There is no world where I have enough analytics data stored for my website that it needs 90 gigabytes of storage space.

  22. Need some input on #webanalytics .

    For the past few years I've not used any dedicated analytics tools on any website I maintain, instead relying on server logs and piping them through Go access to get some visual representation of what's going on.

    But I've never really liked it. It's a bit hacked together, always at the risk of loosing past data. And I generate a separate static page for each website, which is no fun to go through.

    So I was looking around last night for a better solution and found #Plausible which seems low-key enough to not make me mad. Anyone have any experience with that? Or know of an alternative solution that might make me happy?

  23. We integrated Plausible analytics in the Pixelix homepage.

    Plausable is an open source, privacy focused analytics solution. We are self hosting it and a cool feature is that it's possible to make the stats page public. Of course we enabled it :)

"i had a writing teacher show us how he uses #chatgpt to get #feedback on his #writing…… like pls sir…… the #robot isn’t reading your stuff it’s simply #generating the most #plausible #sentences a #critique would sound like…… i repeat the robot is not #reading nor #relating to your writing in any way no matter how much your #ego gets stroked by #autogenerated #praise and tips this is the #author’s equivalent of reading a #horoscope"

  25. Western governments struggle to coordinate response to Chinese hacking

    #Chinese #hacking attempts are not isolated events. Rather, they constitute the #ecosystem in which all western governments must navigate their relationships with Beijing.

    In a report published on 27 March, Google said China “continues to lead the way for government-backed exploitation”.
    #APT31 alone has been linked to hacks in France, Finland and of Microsoft, while New Zealand said this week that another well-known Chinese hacking outfit, #APT40, attacked its parliament in 2021 (the Chinese embassy in New Zealand denied the allegations).

    A recent leak of data from the Chinese cybersecurity firm #iSoon revealed the extent to which China’s hackers for hire compete for government contracts,
    sometimes hoovering up data from foreign agencies "on spec" with the hope of selling it to the highest bidder.
    In the case of APT31, the US Department of Justice alleges that the hacking operation was💥 directly run by a provincial department of China’s ministry of state security.💥
    But in general, said Mei #Danowski, a China cybersecurity expert and author of the "Natto Thoughts" newsletter,
    🔸nearly every cybersecurity firm in China 🔸would have some sort of contract with government clients.
    With a cybersecurity industry worth an estimated $13bn, that is a lot of potential hackers.

    That leaves western governments struggling to coordinate an effective response to hacks or hacking attempts.
    In many cases, the Chinese government has #plausible #deniability about responsibility, and it is not always clear what the impact of data breaches are.
    Audrye #Wong, an assistant professor at the University of Southern California, said that while #Russian-based hacks oftene “sow discord and chaos”, #China was “more cautious” and “still very much cares about shaping perceptions of China and the Chinese Communist party”.

    Many western international security experts refer to the maxim that while Russia may be the storm, China is climate change.

  26. My current take on #ChatGPT vs. #Wikipedia. Sure, ChatGPT is highly competent in generating plausible (mostly accurate) prose on encyclopaedic topics. And it is more useful than WP for targeted comparisons ("Explain the difference between X and Y"). However, #trust in WP comes from it being based on #references. Ask ChatGPT for references, and it will generate some #plausible (but mostly #fictitious) titles and authors and/or websites. So, useless in information-seeking scenarios.

  27. Wrote about the hour or so I spent last night migrating my web analytics from #SimpleAnalytics to #Plausible

    TL;DR Plausible is pretty good barring my one gripe for which you'll have to read the post :P

    msfjarvis.dev/posts/migrating-

  28. Took a little effort but I was able to import all my page views from #SimpleAnalytics into #Plausible. Found a JavaScript program that convert the Simple Analytics CSV into one suitable for Plausible, so I quickly rewrote it in Python and added support for importing location data which the original was missing. My Git server isn't open for registrations so you can send any patches to me via your text delivery medium of choice.

  31. We're evaluating @plausible for collecting basic visitor statistics about our blog and homepage.

    Google Analytics and similar competitors require us to review our privacy policy and take other actions to comply with the GDPR.

    Self-hosted Matomo is great, but way too powerful. We just need basic statistics (how many visitors per day / which pages are frequently accessed?).

    Plausible Analytics seems to be perfect for the job, because

    * it provides exactly the metrics we want
    * it's easy to set up
    * no worrying about the GDPR
    * it's open source software
    * it can be self-hosted or booked as a service (plausible.io)

    Well done, @markosaric ! 👏
