Yeah part of the reason I’m asking here is to get a better sense of pros/cons of messing with it. I’d ideally reseal it if I got it working

And the clone gets a great excuse to get out of things. “That wasn’t me, that was my clone”

I love ground news. But they just give you information on the bias of their sources, they aren’t unbiased themselves. You get a better picture but you are still getting it from biased sources

They focus on America, as such have a broadly Western bias. Are they less biased than others? Probably. But you cannot report the news without some form of bias. The act of looking at an event and deciding what facts to include and what to leave out introduces some level of bias. As it is impossible to include every detail of an event, especially in text form, you’ll end up with a biased retelling

I would’ve gone with a less powerful nas and got a separate unit for compute. I got a synology nas with a decent amount of compute so I could run all my stuff on the nas, and the proprietary locked down OS drives me a bit nuts. Causes all sorts of issues. If I had a separate compute box I could just be running some flavor of Linux, probably Ubuntu and have things behave much more nicely

That probably makes more sense in hindsight. I tried to convert a project and it was still kinda messy. Starting from scratch would be a decent idea

I feel like it could be nice to follow mastodon users from lemmy and have their toots mixed in with other posts

Damn. I guess we’re not far off from clients being able to post to both fairly easily. Cool to see

Was this posted from mastodon? Your post looks weird

Oh yeah definitely. The media loves to paint China as some massive villain and the American tech companies as our saviours, while they’re both doing similar evil shit
