  • @aeva thank you for your answer. I came to the same conclusion as you. I host via namecheap.com so probably it is that. I looked into it and on the file manager there are files that are not mine so probably have to disable it somewhere 🙃. Thanks and keep up the good work 😉

  • @Ruckbank if you're using some kind of hosting service or framework, there's probably a setting somewhere you'd have to switch off to disable visitor metrics entirely. there's always the chance that some 3rd party component might also be phoning home. tbh modern web development sounds really awful to me because of stuff like this, so i just make webpages more or less the same way i did when i was twelve XD

  • @Ruckbank my webpage is static html & css that I wrote entirely by hand. when i want to add something, i modify my offline copy and then upload it to my server using ssh which copies the new files over the old ones. it's very old school. i know it keeps absolutely no visitor metrics because i never wrote any, and never will.

  • @aeva hey I'm pretty new here and want to be as much privacy focused as possible I have a site (ruckbank.com ((only half finished)) ) a personal portfolio. And I can track how many people see my site on what platform and for how long and so forth.. seems like I unintentionally collect data. My question now is can you see such metrics on your site, is this "normal" and can you do anything about it?

    #WritersCoffeeClub Jan 25. What comes first: setting, character, plot? What comes next?What comes first is a Gigantic Idea (hey, I write SF) with far-reaching implications that alter the shape of the world (the setting) the (eventual) characters move through. As we are products of our environment, there's a feedback loop as I figure out how the GI will change people. (Bear in mind that in SF, the setting *is* a principal character.) Then, and only then, do I begin looking for a plot.

    #WritersCoffeeClub – 24 Dec What's ‘load-bearing’ in your life which helps you write?My health. I have been living with a chronic potentially lethal medical condition for 20 years now, with medication side-effects that include brain fog. Modern medicine keeps me alive. As an ex-pharmacist I know how to work the system and am doing okay. But I'm getting older and I'm acutely aware that any illness—another case of COVID19, for example—could render me unable to write again for a year, or ever.

    #WritersCoffeeClub Nov 13: Name the oldest work to have inspired youAs a kid I read the Odyssey in translation, and binged on for-kids-retellings of Ancient Egyptian mythology—mostly the later dynastic versions (some of the translations were old and hazy on the actual chronology), but with roots going back to c. 3000BCE.Nothing much got written down before then because writing either hadn't been invented or wasn't widely used for purposes other than temple accounting, AIUI.

    #WritersCoffeeClub Oct 20 - What role does death (or undeath!) play in your work?I write genre fiction and it is *surprisingly hard* to write a novel in which nobody dies; death tends to be trivialized or used to advance the plot and seldom traumatizes the survivors.To which I say, to hell with that!(Current WIP massacres with gleeful abandon, but it's SF set in a future with lossy mind uploading and replay, so they've effectively got mechanised reincarnation. Societal whackiness ensues.)
