BSD systems also have a similar thing with posting a filtered dmesg |
16 |
but IIRC their dmesg have much better information in them htan what |
17 |
you can get on linux. |

This one has a huge bunch of information but it's basically hardware |
20 |
and bits of software configuration that most people already put on |
21 |
their websites and I'm pretty sure this kind of program is opt-in |
22 |
anyway. |

You could have the same kind of issue with stuff like e-file or whatever |
25 |
was that third-party "Gentoo Social Compiling" thing which posted your |
26 |
compile time and error logs automatically. |
