Someone should keep an eye on Linus.

Yes the interface is a mess. But it’s ridiculously deep once you get into it.

Genuinely curious, what would the advantages be?

Also, what if the Linux distro does not have systemd?

I think they are talking about docker containers.

Yes.

All my self hosted containers are bound to some volume (since they require reading settings or databases).

True.

But I assume OP was already running docker from that user, so they are comfortable with those permissions.

Maybe should have made it clearer. Added to my other post. Thanks!

You shouldn’t need sudo to run docker, just can create a docker group and add your user to it. This will give you the steps on how to run docker without sudo.

Edit: as pointed out below, please make sure that you’re comfortable with giving these permissions to the user you’re adding to the docker group.

For the littering part, just type crontab -e and add the following line:

@daily docker system prune -a -f

I see you already have an answer using podman.

But don’t be afraid of the command line. If you can copy/paste a few commands, it’s pretty easy to set up.

I honestly find installing docker harder than to start a locally hosted searxng instance.

Also, something like self-hosting your own email is way harder and requires a lot more maintenance. I’d leave that project to further down the line.

Not sure it will solve your problem, but if you’re not happy with the public SearXNG instances, you can run your own instance of SearXNG on your local machine, and even set up custom filters and redirects to get rid of SEO junk.

The EFF has supported the prosecution of Kiwi Farms, but not by using ISP blocks.

They understand that setting a legal precedent like this may cause serious harm to other people in the future (e.g. women).

Once an ISP indicates it’s willing to police content by blocking traffic, more pressure from other quarters will follow, and they won’t all share your views or values. For example, an ISP, under pressure from the attorney general of a state that bans abortions, might decide to interfere with traffic to a site that raises money to help people get abortions, or provides information about self-managed abortions. Having set a precedent in one context, it is very difficult for an ISP to deny it in another, especially when even considering the request takes skill and nuance. We all know how lousy big user-facing platforms like Facebook are at content moderation—and that’s with significant resources. Tier 1 ISPs don’t have the ability or the incentive to build content evaluation teams that are even as effective as those of the giant platforms who know far more about their end users and yet still engage in harmful censorship.

The EFF supported the prosecution of people from Kiwi Farms for their activities, just opposed their website to be taken out at the ISP level. I feel a lot of people jumped on the EFF without reading the full article.

It’s been a while since I’ve set up my pi hole, but you shouldn’t need a monitor, the initial configuration should be done through the command line.

Once it’s set up, you’ll have a webpage inside your network that you can visit to monitor / configure further.

That being said, you can connect any HDMI monitor to a raspberry pi, and it should work.

You’re welcome!

Had no idea that thunderbird didn’t do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.

I’m not sure I understand… I thought all readers did this.

Doesn’t liferea do it? (It’s also gtk iirc)

Thanks! Giving it a try, so far it’s my favorite.

If you don’t want to fully host it yourself (which I think it’s wise), then it’s a good solution.

If privacy is important to you, ProtonMail has a good reputation, but I haven’t been keeping up with the latest developments in the area (there might be other providers that suit your needs / budget).

Do you mean buying your own domain, and forward email sent to it to an email provider?

A lot of email providers have that option (with paid plans). For example

I just noticed, that keyboard was created by one of the Lemmy Devs.

Quite fitting to see it posted here
