   Happy Paying User :)

   I've been using plausible since Sep 2019 and never had any doubts about it. It provides me with everything I need related to visitor stats while keeping privacy in first place.

   It doesn't slow down my website loading speed (it's amazing, it's less than 1KB in size!), is not blocked by adblockers since it's not really a tracker tracker, and owners are super cool and they actually respond to every inquiry you could possibly have.

   If you're looking for de-googling your stuff, you can start with Plausible :)

   Plausibly simple analytics!

   I tried several analytics tools prior to Plausible, namely Google Analytics and later on Matomo. I found both to be fairly complicated for my usage which is a personal blog. Complicated in the way I had to install and use them. Plausible's simple to set up approach combined with a very clean and inviting user interface was a breath of fresh air. It's simple and clean enough that it actually makes me want to check and analyse my traffic which is a feeling I never thought I'd have having tried alternatives.

   Excellent alternative to google analytics

   It offers clear information about what I really need, without distractions, without advertising and does not slow my site.

• Kill The Cookie Banner

  Side note: there’s plenty of Analytics tools that don’t require cookies. Plausible (https://plausible.io) is one of them, there are many others. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Chris Banes' Skills Repo: Claude Code Meets Android Development

  Also a small tooling aside — if you're tracking how often skills get used across your team (or just want analytics on your dev blog without the GDPR cookie banner dance), privacy-focused options like Umami or Plausible give you full data ownership and a much lighter footprint than Google Analytics. I migrated two side projects to Umami last year and haven't looked back. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Migrating Off Google Analytics: Umami vs Plausible vs Fathom

  So this post is about something I've been chewing on for months but finally moved on: ripping Google Analytics out of three side projects and picking a privacy-focused alternative. Specifically, I'll compare Umami, Plausible, and Fathom — the three I actually evaluated — and walk through the migration steps that worked for me. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Google Analytics Alternatives: Umami vs Plausible vs Fathom in 2026

  Plausible is what I recommend when someone wants to set it up and forget about it. It's an EU-based company, the data stays in the EU, and they're very transparent about their infrastructure. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Migrating from Google Analytics to Privacy-Focused Alternatives

  Plausible is also open-source with a self-hosted option, but their cloud-hosted product is where most people land. It's polished, opinionated, and genuinely pleasant to use. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Name a player who is a “legend” for your team, but was never that good

  This wasn't for my team but, I was looking in this comment section for any mention of Billy Butler. Couldn't find any after maybe 2-3 minutes of looking. I remembered him being better than his stats on baseball-reference.com say he is. Maybe that was because I used to play a lot of MLB 2K11 when I was a younger. Source: over 3 years ago

• [Newbie] Is my Powered USB Hub too close to my HF+ Discovery?

  You can use WSJT-X,FLDigi,and other programs with the sdr software,but I'm no help there,as I use ham transcievers for digital. Look on radio https://reference.com for just about anything that you're interested in. It even has a state by state section.along with a database for cities and counties. You can spend a long time on that site,and learn a lot. Source: over 3 years ago

• [US] This or That? - Which of these baby animals is known as a pup? [08-15-2022]

  I think a lot of this depends on the site from where Microsoft culls their answers. For rat, the first that pops up when selecting it says a baby rat is a "kit," but if you search, it changes. Squeaks and nibbles says, "A baby rat is called a kitten or a pup," whereas reference.com says "a baby rat is called a pup.". Source: almost 4 years ago

  Baseball reference.com shows him at 0 runs on defense, so perfectly average. NOt sure what you're looking at. I suppose statcast? I will have a look there. Source: about 4 years ago
