Is there any way to clean up access logs for statistics purposes?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently selfhosting a website that has quite an audience (~2 000 unique visitors/day) and I’m trying to measure that audience more precisely.

I just want to have a simple report of the most viewed pages, the most popular browser, etc… very very basic stuff.

I want to avoid client-side solution as they can and will very easily be blocked and render my effort completely useless. I had a Matomo until 2023 that registered less than half the visits when compared to my access logs.

I tried to look into GoAccess but it gathers a lot (and I mean A LOOOOOT) of chinese/indian/russian bots which are pretty difficult to filter out (if you have a method, please share it, I’m very curious!).

Is there any way you’re aware of to have decent stats without invading the privacy of my visitors or counting bots?

Downloading Nextcloud packages is extremely slow…

Hi fellow selfhosters,

Just wanted to know if any of you got the same issue: everytime there’s a new version of Nextcloud available (package version at https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/), it’s EXTREMELY slow to download (70KiB/s or less) to the point that my automation just fails miserably to update my current install.

Am I alone here? Is there some kind of official mirrors I’m not aware of that can speed things up?

Proud of myself: my new OpenEVSE installation

Background story: had an OpenEVSE since 2021. But it was hidden in the crawl space under the house since then. No attached cable, it was a Type 2 socket installation.

Recently got an issue with the aforementioned female Type 2 socket (no more ground, faulty lines, etc…) so I decided to move everything back into the sunshine.

That’s not the prettiest installation, but it’s working and the attached cable makes it way easier to use.

Next step would be to move it inside an old gas pump for decoration and laughs!

Have you ever waited to charge on a DC Charger?

Hi everyone,

I’m a long time EV driver (first one being a Twizzy back in 2013) and I was wondering: have you ever waited to charge on DC fast charger on the highway for example?

One of my ev-skeptic colleagues told me I saw multiple lines of multiple EVs waiting to charge on the highway this summer. I never witnessed it or being through this myself and I’m more incline to think that this is grossly exaggerated but you never really know… so have you had such experience?
