Weird they are specifying a database technology used, it's kinda irrelevant to the whole thing
(More generally, if you're going to be a paranoiac about these things: the US intelligence community loves it when things are provided by non-US entities. No warrants are required!)
The title is that analytics moved to EU. Which might be true technically but still goes to US company
I'd recommend not reading into others' editorializations. Homebrew doesn't control them.
From the guidelines:
> If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.
> If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
> If you submit a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title.
Which is to say the chosen title of the thread was editorialized by the submitter to emphasize what they wanted to emphasize rather than the original title that the Homebrew Project used.
Personally I think it's a cool thing.
- I like knowing the tech stack used.
- I like knowing where my data lives
- And on InfluxDB: It's well documented, & it was easy to get a PoC running.
