there was no easy way to do it on a reasonably sized machine.

Why? What is the issue?

+1. Made the switch when mullvad lost port forwarding. Works quite well with Gluetun

That was indeed the case. I suppose the comment didn’t contribute much.

Just tired of seeing perfectly solid comments being downvoted with no reason provided 🤷

Downvote without explanation. Nice!

“An” (Animate) is the continuation of flash, is it not?

“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.

Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria “Not Firefox”. Everything else is the creator’s opinions of which ones you “must try”.

To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren’t happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I’m not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

How

Sorry, I left this ambiguous. My intended context was that the person you were replying to didn’t mention Ecosia’s privacy.

I don’t see them claiming it is

…What are you talking about?

If you want to take on archiving a huge library of media, more power to you. But that isn’t a requirement. Many people use streaming downloads so that local storage is basically not required. Others download and set up services/plugins to delete episodes after they have been watched to ease storage requirements. Even if you want to keep all media, Raid is certainly a luxury, not necessity. Losing all of the media from a drive just means needing to download it all again.

And all of this is completely out of the argument of “feature parity” with Netflix. They drop shows and movies from their services all the time.

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍

There’s a submission link on the top of the page

Search seems broken. The following gives me a “Something went wrong” page

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just “self hosted open source alternatives”. Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

STOP I can’t afford to know this stuff exists right now!

I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.

AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.

Options are drying up 😢

Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding

You’re sick, he’s sick, we’re all sick! SICK!
