sorry that was a blunder on my part, I wanted to say “Debian and Fedora” but autocorrect gotten a hold on me it seems

People who deeply care about this typically use a distro which has a strong stance on FLOSS software like Debian or Fedora
Arch Linux is more free on this as long as the user gets a more conveniant way to install everything (even proprietary software)

the Arch Linux way however is also reading every PKGBUILD (where the license is stated) before installing and if you need to have an easier way to search through licenses just programatically solve this yourself i.e. by using https://github.com/archlinux/aur and going through all branches with a script

On Dreame robot vacuums you can actually flash your own firmware like Valetudo which is also quite popular in Home Assistant peers since it no longer phones home

Some podcasts have contracts to be Spotify exclusive (they get a compensation for it)

If Jellyfin would do such stupid thing, somebody would fork it to a new project
in fact this did already happened in the past: Jellyfin was forked of Emby after they changed their license

Unity includes telemetry for some time
I believe you can’t actually disable the telemetry (or Unity intro logo) in the “free” version

Don’t think they do

oh there is a way without the user accessing it espcially on Windows: Anti virus scanner
since most of them scan all downloaded files a zero day exploit for these software might be automatically executed
bonus points: Anti virus software typically has system permissions too

(likelyhood is still hilariously low)

the listed ones have contracts with publisher to get legit keys where the developer gets it share too

I’ve been running qbittorrent in tandem with wireguard vpn in docker container for quite some time in germany

the harder challenge is actually finding german torrents at all

unfortunately germany is heavily “dub centric” and a lot of people here never engaged in english more than needed in school

convincing family/friends to watch a movie/series with subtitles is sometimes challenging

most normal 4chan user

The torrent clients I used (flood and qbittorrent) can use the hash directly to import, is this not the case for all?

on linux it is probably easier to setup podman nowadays with Podman Desktop and being easily available in most repositories while Docker never released their Desktop app on Linux

on anything else Docker is the least path of resistence currently but who knows if they fuck up again in the future

Bitlocker is only redumentary included in the cheaper Windows “Home” versions
only the “Pro” version actually includes proper Bitlocker tools which is frankly a pretty stupid move

encrypting /home is good if you have multiple users also eCryptfs is also thing for several years just like LUKS/dm-crypt

yea also custom domain with catch-all + custom rules on mailbox.org is hilariously powerful and allow you to use an own email address + its own folder for every website without actually creating any alias beforehand

I also have a hard time understanding how 2,5€ a month is to expensive for someone who most likely owns Apple devices since iCloud is really awful to use without at least one Apple device

this depends on how you installed it

If you expose ports on IPv4 or IPv6 (port forwarding) anyone can access the service behind these ports if they know your address but so do you too

yes just like with a static IPv4
