  • There is no backup server. Users can create and add one if they like.

    No I understood the server is self-hosted…?

    Colota offers out of the box file export

    I see that but this should be an automatic backup process. Plus there’s no way I can see to IMPORT that data somewhere else.

    When I use an app like Fitotrack, it automatically makes a backup file periodically and then is automatically backed up to my server with Nextcloud or Syncthing. I don’t need a dedicated server for it.

    Colota already uses WiFi for home detection (WiFi pause in geofence zones)

    How can it do that when it didn’t ask me for an SSID? And what’s the point of the geofence if it doesn’t even use it anyway? I am cornfuse.

    When wifi disconnects or/and motion is recognized the GPS starts again.

    How is motion recognized without GPS?

    I don’t know that they crippled anything. I still regularly see posts from a few users. The problem is that they just half-assed it. It’s unidirectional. So you can see and reply to their posts, and they can see your replies (or they use to be able to) but they can’t do anything back. They can’t follow you or reply to anything. It’s also opt-in, and almost no one cared enough to do that.

    I think the reason they did it in the first place was to avoid regulatory scrutiny but any shits given about that previously are completely gone now since we transitioned into a corporate utopia.
