Good idea, I'll add it to the to-do list for the next major release.

Occasionally some cloud providers or ISPs chime in and offer their servers to the public. If you have an LS server, you can submit it here: https://librespeed.org/submit

I'm the author of the project. The servers are simply overloaded af unfortunately. It's a fairly popular project and we don't have enough servers to support this many concurrent users.

Basically anything that's just exploration and atmospheric will do.

It doesn't need javascript from "20 different domains", only a file called empty.php is fetched from those servers to measure the ping. The javascript is hosted on librespeed.org, which is under my control.

Damn, never thought I'd live to see the enshittification of F-Droid. I definitely won't be using it anymore if this happens.

Hi, I'm the original author of LibreSpeed. When you load the website it downloads a list of servers and tries all of them to see which one has the lowest ping, that's what you're seeing.

I know, I've been using it since 2010, when it was still called CyanogenMod :)

Wow, I never thought I'd agree with the devs of GrapheneOS on something

I personally don't see anything wrong with it, unless it's forced, which is unfortunately common here.

It means it's what we in the trade call "a nothingburger". On Windows you need to explicitly install a malicious driver (which in turn requires to you to disable signature verification), on Linux you'd have to load a malicious kernel module (which requires pasting commands as root, and it would probably be proprietary since it has malware to hide and as every nvidia user knows, proprietary kernel modules break with kernel updates)

I'd say ffmpeg is a good example, it's used by almost every piece of software that has to manipulate audio or video (including messaging applications), yet not many people know about its existance.
