Awesome Personal Data

The 21st century is the century of information and data. We produce data at alarming rates, most of which goes to shadowy companies and goverments, who use it in an attempt to sell us random crap. But this is your data, and you should be able to control who has access to it, and should be able to inspect it yourself. GDPR in the EU has helped with the first goal, but the second is still way out of reach.

This is a list of cool projects that allows you to get access, view and understand the data you are yourself producing.

  • Scrobbing is the word for tracking your personal music history.
    • Maloja is a self-hosted scrobble site. Easy setup through docker-compose.
    • Multi-Scrobbler is a system for importing data to your Scrobble server (like Maloja) from some number of music services (Spotify, Google Music, etc.)

Own Projects

  • Personal Data is a system for downloading some types of personal data from various sources. It's very ad hoche.
