You can securely connect GitHub Actions to Google Cloud using the Google GitHub Action called `auth`. It supports two main ways: the recommended Workload Identity Federation (WIF), which uses short-lived tokens and avoids long-lived service account keys, and the older Service Account Key JSON method. WIF improves security by creating a trust link between your GitHub workflow and Google Cloud without exposing permanent credentials. To use it, you set up a Workload Identity Pool and Provider in Google Cloud, then configure your GitHub workflow to authenticate with these. This lets your workflows access Google Cloud resources safely and easily, reducing risks and simplifying credential management.

You can log and track the phone locations of your family and friends in complete privacy, using your Nextcloud server.
To do this you need to install the Nextcloud PhoneTrack App on your Nextcloud server, and the Android PhoneTrack App on every DeGoogled phone you want to track.
The F-Droid version is old and buggy.
To get the newer Dev Android version, you:
1. Go to the PhoneTrack Dev GitLab page, scroll down and click the "APK Direct Download" link
2. At top "Pipeline" option, click the Download arrow and select "AssembleDevDebug:archive"
3. This downloads a zip file. Extract the zip and install the APK.
CONNECT ALL PHONES AND TRACK
4. On Nextcloud create a dedicated account for PhoneTracking.
5. Create a PhoneTrack "Session" in the Nextcloud PhoneTrack app.
6. Sign each phone into the Nextcloud PhoneTrack account, and on the phone, add a "PhoneTrack log job" to the Session on Nextcloud.
