Thank you for the information!

I do have Libreboot on all my computers, my T1700 MT is currently Librebooted, that’s the server I’m planning on using this card with. I wonder, since the firmware is nearly entirely open, we can possibly support it then, no?

Self-hosting doesn’t really fix anything, the developers can still control the program and read all your chats/calls.

No, you should have the freedom to use it if you want. All I’m saying is that you can’t really call TeamSpeak a better alternative, when they’re both just as bad (they’re both proprietary). If you’re looking for a better alternative, consider using Mumble, it’s FOSS.

I may not read the source code of every tool I use, but even if the average user doesn’t read the source code, having it available for inspection by others in the community increases security, trust, and overall software quality. All a user really has to do is look at the license of the software they use, typically a GPL or similar license, and consider how reputable it is. Not only that, but if you’re on Linux already, you can just get most of the software from your distro’s repositories.

So you’re just trusting them to not do anything bad?

If you can’t audit the source code of the program, how do you know if TeamSpeak isn’t malware?

Isn’t TeamSpeak proprietary though?

The errors went away at boot, but nothing happens now, its just stuck. I just see the _ blinking that’s it. Going to try installing Arch and see if I can get it working better.

A bit, it’s actually not too bad. Rarely any micro stuttering on ultra settings in RDR2, I am actually planning on buying the AMD 7900XTX graphics card to put in this machine. I want to run local LLMs on it, I’m not too much of a gamer as I used to be. Anyways, this thing rocks! I love it. Eventually, I’ll plan on buying a MSI Z690-A DDR5 motherboard and install Dasharo firmware onto it.

It can play all my games at 1440p and ultra settings (RDR2, GTA V, etc.) I’ve never had a time where I’ve wanted to upgrade from it. I built most of this computer for about $450-$500, all used parts I got off eBay plus some other parts that I pulled from my other computer
