You’re absolutely right. Sorry for that (admittedly catastrophic) omission.

It’s 2025. If you are getting a ‘free’ software product, there’s a chance of about 99,9% that the answer to that question is either ‘analytics/tracking/telemetry/customer retention’ or a combination of many or all of them.

Shit, man. WHY did you have to bring this up…

Yea. That is THE one reason why I’d never touch GrapheneOS as long as it only runs on Pixel hardware.

I don’t see LibreCMC (https://librecmc.org/) mentioned anywhere in this thread, so correct that.

Unlike Open WRT, LibreCMC is recognised by GNU to be a fully free Linux distribution, and you still get the time-honoured LuCi web administration interface.

LibreCMC runs on much fewer devices as OpenWRT, which can be a feature for those who are overwhelmed by the length of OpenWRT’s list.

WTAFF is that supposed to be anyway?

Amusing.

a) I don’t use shitGPT and never will, so I wouldn’t know how to phrase questions for it;

b) You are aware that this is ‘no stupid questions’, right ? People here expect to be asked stuff - or to learn from others’ answers for that matter, which I’m pretty sure is the case here;

c) Cold? Maybe that’s because this is a science question? I’m not asking a lady out;

d) Disrespectful? It takes a particular brand of pessimism to be offended in the least by a question that’s not even directed at you…

This is nice!

So if I understand you correctly, in the real world, they do add up?

What is the authoritative source of information for learning how to run an instance of peertube and how difficult is it for a moderately skilled sysadmin to do so?
