You'd use Sourcegraph, probably.

what is the constant phone-home activity on that opaque container they send as SourceGraph.. It is occassionally the case that devs have too-fast machines, so their code isn't seen on ordinary equipment. With SourceGraph and other inner-network-devs tools, the amount of chatty traffic and build dependancies seems seriously off-putting, trending to useless with ordinary network.

This seems like a bad attitude. Perhaps you could constructively ask for a sourcegraph-lite that does less, in return for less deps / networking complexity?

[slimsag]

I am a dev at Sourcegraph, I'd be very open to any feedback.

You can firewall off Sourcegraph 100% for complete confidence, and aside from the first admin's email address (so we can notify them of any security updates) we only send back aggregated anonymous usage statistics which we are extremely transparent about: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/admin/pings

We sell developer tools, not user data.

Maybe the problem is that to disable telemetry you have to contact support and pray they like you, instead of giving a configuration option.

[slimsag]

Ah, yeah, that's fair. I'll forward this feedback onto the team.

The option is documented in our config docs, though, and also appears in the config editor's autocomplete in the app if you type `telemetry`, though, so it's not really a secret https://docs.sourcegraph.com/admin/config/site_config#disabl...

The property is “disableNonCriticalTelemetry“ [0] that seems curiously named to me.

What kind of telemetry is critical? How do I disable that?
