I used to use openipc (that was the “alternative” i was referring to") but its not truly FOSS. Their default streamer is hidden behind closed doors and theyve also taken some contributions and added it to majestic never to be seen in the open again.
That said, it is a great alternative if you dont have ingenic based cameras. And they now offer minimal other open source options for streamers…
Some of the key devs left and created thingino because of the whole foss thing. Imo theyre a much friendlier bunch too but thats purely an opinion
I totally agree with you. I asked on Telegram why Majestic was closed source and I was insulted in Russian. To date I still don’t know why they do that.
I am still using OpenIPC. I don’t see any outgoing connection (but I’ve also disabled internet access to it via firewall just to be sure)
Thats awful… but im not surprised. I witnessed similar when i used to contribute.
In any case i hate that theyre like this because there is a need for truly open camera firmware but their attitude makes me not even want to mention or recommend them
Thingino devs are bros and do it purely for the foss privacy philosophy. Contributions are encouraged and praised and the support is soo friendly and encouraging
