exactly, and remain in diplomatic contact with the civil servants and politicians he has not infected

so we agree then

honestly don’t know what any of its official policies are or how much the CCP is involved. just seems like a very overt reference to me

good point. i think i misunderstood your initial title

oddly enough it seems to be working, if i don’t login at all youtube just offers up the usual dross

the real name of this app in chinese is “Little Red Book”

surprised?

did you know the real chinese name for this app is “Little Red Book”

FYI

yeah i created a new youtube account in a container once and just watched all the popular/drama suggestions. that account turned into a shitstorm immediately

these days i curate my youtube accounts making liberal use of Not interested/Do not recommend channel/Editing my history and even test watching in a container before watching it on my curated account

this is just how “the algorithm” works. shovel more of what you watch in your face.

the fact that they initially will give you right-wing, conspiracy fueled, populist, trash right off the bat is the concern

interesting, so i guess it can answer questions from any exam

so what of its reasoning? can it deduce? can it follow specific logic/equations in mathematical notation or in plain language?

does ActivityPub disallow this at all?

this person needs to tell us what about the “current situation” they think is so bad before we can assess how mentally diverse they are

NixOS with gnome

i have found this reference very useful https://mynixos.com/options/

yeah proxmox is not necessary unless you need lots of separate instances to play around with

this is my container config for element/matrix podman containers do not run as root so you have to get the file privileges right on the volumes mapped into the containers. i used top to find out what user the services were running as. you can see there are some settings there where you can change the user if you are having permissions problems

you only need to reboot Nix when something low level has changed. i honestly don’t know where that line is drawn so i reboot quite a lot when i’m setting up a Nix server and then hardly reboot it at all from then on even with auto-updates running oh and if i make small changes to the services i just run sudo nixos-rebuild switch and don’t reboot

so is tiktok the main place for Palestinian content these days? it seems to have chilled out everywhere else now the election is over

i guess you were able to install the os ok? are you using proxmox or regular servers?

i can post an example configuration.nix for the proxy and container servers that might help. i have to admit debugging issues with configurations can be very tricky.

in terms of security i was always worried about getting hacked. the only protection for that was to make regular backups of data and config so i can restore services, and to create a dmz behind my isp router with a vlan switch and a small router just for my services to protect the rest of my home network
