just joining in on the misery. arr-s overpromise and underdeliver, tried for a month and gave up with just jellyfin and qbittorrent web. jellyfin is ok at masking the atrocious file names and directory structure, bless its soul

it absolutely is! honestly all matrix homeservers are impressive, the protocol is not for the faint of heart

while i don’t want to throw shade on the developers’ intentions, nor have any real proof of what data is being kept, a fetch request bears by minimum the source ip (which can be geolocated) and the fact that the homeserver exists and runs continuwuity.

i’d suggest a matrix channel as alternative, so hosters can opt-in by joining. plus, by leveraging the matrix protocol, such announcements become federated push notifications, meaning they could come from any homeserver (limiting ip logging) and don’t imply the continued existence of such deployment, or the software which is being run

even converting such mechanism to an opt-out “auto-join announcements channel” would be more privacy respecting

be warned that continuwuity phones home by default to fetch its news and feed it to the admin, you may want to turn that off before booting first time
