Curious on suggestions for airtags, or similar, for tracking important things on flights or other cases where losing the specific item would be too much of a financial / sentimental loss. Anyone doing this from Linux, or from graphene? How is it?

    I use a LoRaWAN tracker and Traccar. But you shouldn’t take it on international flights due to frequencies being different in other countries.

      Are there any (ideally waterproof) compact devices with long battery life (months~years)?

      On the website I only found a long list of supported devices with brand name search and protocol type. grep showed no LoRaWAN devices though?

      My use-case is theft tracking. I only need the device to be able to locate itself after a theft actually occurred and I request it remotely. (Perhaps also periodically with very low frequency.)
