God dammit
I keep forgetting that. I didn’t really notice it, since I use a seedbox anyway, but that might be a little to much for a new user.

Not PeerTube, but still ActivityPub: The Linux Experiment uses CastoPod, an ActivityPub-based podcast platform for his Linux & Open Source News show

Fixed that for you

Hands down, Rust 🦀

qBittorrent is probably the best VPN client for Windows

Mullvad is a relatively cheap and trustworthy VPN provider (they unfortunately removed port forwarding, which is important for torrenting)

AirVPN and Proton VPN are trustworthy VPN providers that support port forwarding

Servarr is the way to go if you want to set up a server that automates everything for you

Jellyfin is the best media server, far ahead of Plex and fully FOSS

FMHY and the Champagne Piracy Wiki have lots of valuable information

I believe Veyon can do this

It is a PC. In fact, a good PC. It runs Linux. But it’s better than a ordinary Linux PC, since it also has an amazing console UI that’s actually fun to use with a gamepad. It’s the best of both worlds, and it’s build on top of FOSS software. It’s excellent.

Yes.

This argument assumes that they’d only do something if they could get perfect coverage

Doing this and not covering like half of the phones out there would be even dumber, and way too risky. It’s not just about Chinese phones, the most popular smartphone vendor, Samsung, is from South Korea. Yeah, South Korea is a US ally, and the NSA might have some kind of crazy deal in place with them to backdoor their phones, but that would exponentially increase the risk, as not only would the NSA and all the US phone manufacturers have to keep this a secret, the South Korean government as well as Samsung, which is a massive corporation with hundreds of thousands of employees, would also have to make sure that none of this gets leaked to the public. This is way too unrealistic, and can easily be dismissed as a conspiracy theory.
