Opensource in what way? It’s just torrenting material and forwarding it to you, if you want to make your own personal private media streaming service you invest in storage and “aquire” media however you want to serve out using something like Jellyfin.

IPv6 should never be behind NAT which is a hack to extend the address space of Ipv4.

• as old as 32bit time_t

Only difference is lack of updates for security and latest android, turns phones into ewaste long before the end of the hardware useful life.

Still got the onerous signing procedure that still makes devs pay a tithe to Apple like in other markets I assume?

Installing?

Last burned a PS4 jailbreak bluray 😏

That in itself might act to make linux attractive as it can be a much lighter weight alternative to windows to stretch the useful life of hardware they own.

In my experience neither of those are true, on linux unless a dependency was dropped a 4 year old program will still probably work fine and a 20 year old program on windows will likely have some glitches which may or may not be problematic.

When I dual booted it was to try and get away from the win.

There is probably a lot of listening data that could be useful. Say you like a particular song, you could look at what other songs people who stream that do also streamed a lot?

Worse, unless you have the source code to that 70 year old software it’s probably even less useful.

No, copyright applies specifically to the code, eulas and copyleft such as GPL rely on that fact. The logic itself can’t be, but the specific implementation can. It’s why clean room reverse engineering is fine, but a tainted decompilation direct from a binary may not be.

Except that isn’t what we have, we still have proprietary crap that is just open core now and that open core is dominated by a single corp that can dictate what standards it wants just like when IE was on top.

Less diversity isn’t good, the argument wasn’t in favour of proprietary software, it was against platform monoculture.

It’s more complicated than that as control acts as a barrier to entry preventing competitive start ups entering the market and disrupting it so established players probably don’t care as they can bare the cost of compliance if they have to.

Worse is that it likely won’t be able to distinguish between intentionally titilating material and material intended to educate. Only over 18 are allowed to learn about human physiology after submitting identifying information.

Capitalism can work well when it’s coupled into a virtuous circle of funding R&D to create new products and services to increase income to put back into more R&D.

At the moment it seems that a lot of companies are just trying to seek ever increasing rent extraction on existing products rather than investing in trying to innovate and relying on high barriers to entry to keep competition out.

I’ve not looked into it but presumably it’s because whatever web server framework they are using might not be as bug free and battle tested as dedicated web server application like nginx so by limiting the actual web servers exposure you are limiting the attack surface.

You are forgetting the arcane patterns we have to engrave on them too.
