What are you on about?

African countries have been flooded by Chinese goods, to the point that it has killed the local manufacturing in Africa. Look it up.

They don’t have the service industry the west has, so the only thing they can offer in return are raw materials, which China is happy to take.

Lemmy seems to hate went a western company exploits natural resources in Africa, but when China does it, they are somehow saving those poor people from the goodness of their hearts.

China isn’t really desperate for cheap natural resources as much as they are desperate for markets to export their manufactured goods.

Thus killing local manufacturing.

Someone should keep an eye on Linus.

You’re welcome!

I can have a look in my free time for fun. Will let you know if I manage to do it. 😅

People who made it that far up are usually very driven, their job is their whole identity.

It’s probably hard to walk away from something they dedicated so much of their life to. More so if it involved sacrificing time for relationships, family, friends, etc.

Sorry for the delay in the reply.

No need to apologize! Thank you for working on this. :)

The only issue is that the app requires that the config file and blocklist and allowlists should be included within the docker hub. So the issue is that if a prebuilt image is provided, then is it possible to edit it within the docker container ?? If so then it is ok, otherwise it would still be good, but it would limit the usage to users who are by default satisfied by the default config. While others would still need to build the image manually, which is not very great.

I’m not familiar with the websurfix codebase, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

I’m currently self-hosting SearXNG on a VPS, but I started by having it just locally. The important bit of that blog post is this:

docker run -d --rm \
              -d -p 8080:8080 \
              -v "${HOME}/searxng:/etc/searxng" \
              -e "BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/" \
              searxng/searxng

I use the -v flag to mount a directory in my home to the config directory inside the docker container. SearXNG then writes the default config files there, and I can just edit them normally on ~/searxng/.

By using a mounted volume like this, the configs are persistent, so I can restart the docker container without losing them.

I thought this was in Canada.

Ah cool, thanks!

Will definitely try it now. It’s good to have options (Searx just recently became unmaintained).

Are there any plans to have an official docker hub image? I’m asking because my workflow involves keeping the containers up to date with watchtower.

Genuinely curious, what would the advantages be?

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

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!

Interesting, I’ll be keeping an eye on this. Thanks for sharing!

I’m currently self hosting SearXNG. The must-have features for me are the custom filters and the actively maintained docker image. Will definitely give it a go if they get implemented.

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

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.

Playing racism on hard mode.

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)
