Random requests to plausible.io

[janwirth]

Why is quirrel making random requests to plausible.io, I never configured telemetry and I can't find info on it in the docs.

FetchError: request to https://plausible.io/api/event failed, reason:

Hi @janwirth! Quirrel is using plausible for telemetry, and it's opt-out because it's interesting for me to see how developers are actually using Quirrel in practice. To out, use the DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variable. This is documented here: https://docs.quirrel.dev/faq#how-can-i-opt-out-of-telemetry. Also, it's logging a reminder about telemetry at startup:

quirrel/src/api/shared/structured-logger.ts

Lines 17 to 21 in 154e1a1

	if (telemetryEnabled) {
	this.log.info(`
	Quirrel collects completely anonymous telemetry data about general usage,
	opt-out by setting the DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variable.`);
	}

Thank you
