So you literally need much more than a networked raspberry pi with a content hard drive, and Kodi installed anywhere.

But that's the point I'm making. It's absolutely fine that it's not as simple as using a ready-made service. And we shouldn't behave like it is, because that's just not true.

And where does the content come from?

If that is your stance, then there is literally zero privacy anymore. Zilch.

If I'm walking down the street and somebody marks that one person walked down the street, does that invade my privacy?

In that case, how does the concept of privacy even matter anymore? There is none, and there never will be.

Even though many people suggest that, I don't believe you can compare any off-the-shelf streaming service with a self-hosted Plex.

You have to find and download content to your Plex. You don't get recommendations. You don't get a built-in interface on your smart TV. You have to deal with network configuration, VPN, private trackers, seeding ratios etc.

How on earth is that comparable to pressing the Netflix button on your TV and selecting a recommended show? Even my boomer parents managed to do this on their own.

If we want a really free and open high quality codec, we should push for opus support via bluetooth

Isn't the new default codec in BLE Audio LC3 free and open and high quality? And it's required for BLE Audio support, so there will be more and more devices that support it.

Or, as it's called in the rest of the world, degree Celsius.

I don't think that's possible. But to prevent an XY problem: what do you want to achieve? Maybe it's enough to simply disable the history, or delete cookies when you exit a page, or use Firefox Focus as your default browser.
