That's hood maps: https://hoodmaps.com/new-york-city-neighborhood-map. Source: over 1 year ago
Neighborhood info?
There is a whole crowdsourced site for this called https://hoodmaps.com. It's pretty good. Source: over 1 year ago
is Mexico really that insecure?
Hoodmaps.com is good for this kind of question. Note the areas in CDMX marked "danger", "don't ever go here, EVER" "Say goodbye to your iPhone", "why are you here run for your life"... Avoid those areas. Source: almost 2 years ago
Housing Recommendations? (SoCal Resident)
Hoodmaps.com is great if you want to know the area you will be moving into. Source: almost 2 years ago

Any alternatives to Life360/FindMy?
The only private alternatives are going to be self hosted and will require some technical skill. See owntracks for details. Source: 12 months ago
Trying to make a pair of compasses that always point to each other
On your side, you need some way to be tracked. Easy solution is an app on your phone, I like OwnTracks as a privacy-respecting option. Source: about 1 year ago
Privacy-focused Vehicle Tracking Tool?
Sounds like owntracks with a android headunit https://owntracks.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

OwnTracks is app people can install on their phones that you can setup to send live gps coordinates back to your web server. Source: about 1 year ago
Best solution for remotely hosting public-facing low-traffic services?
One container where this would have been an issue for me is OwnTracks recorder. Probably could have got it working on ARM if I wanted to compile the program then create a container around it, but didn't want to spend the time and instead just used the free tier x86_64 VM. Source: over 1 year ago
