If you don’t care about America’s decline into fascism, why are you even in this community? Why not just continue happily using Google products and other American tech?

But honestly, “I do not care about politics on the other side of the globe, and I’m not jobless enough to censure everything” is such an incredibly shitty entitled attitude to have. You should care. Not caring is not something to proudly trumpet out to the world. It makes you look selfish and wilfully ignorant.

Whether you believe certain specific responses to any given issue are actually productive and worth the trade-off is an entirely separate matter. If you’re gonna continue using Proton because you can’t find anything as good as it to switch to, or because you don’t think the CEO’s comments were bad enough to warrant cancellation, or even that the switching cost would be too high relative to how much impact it would have, I wouldn’t blame you. There are certainly American products that I continue to use because the benefit they provide me outweighs how much impact I think switching could have.

But a blanket statement that you don’t care about the most powerful country in the world losing all semblance of rule of law? Jesus fucking Christ dude. Could you show a little humanity?

IMO a “simple browser” of this sort should display literally only the content in the HTML file itself. It shouldn’t even view CSS stored in a separate local CSS file, let alone reach out to the web to download more content.

Hmm, I wonder…does “my favourite pirate streaming service” count as avoiding big tech?

Hardly the first time Spanish courts have completely fucking failed to understand technology (I will never get over how monumentally stupid the Mario Costeja case was), but this manages to take it to an incredible new level. The idiotic lack of forethought asside, you’d think that once the consequences were made clear and people were actively being prevented from accessing all sorts of legitimate websites, including GitHub, they’d immediately reverse course. How the fuck does one private sporting company gain the right to force a huge swathe of the Internet to be blocked, anyway? Utter fucking nonsense.

Any web page can be printed. Any print can be sent to a PDF generator. It might not look super pretty, but it’ll get the job done. I recommend making sure you’re on light mode before you print though, because dark mode has grey text instead of black.

It is big tech. It’s just less big tech than Xitter and Facebook. And it at least kinda-sorta has some vague federation-like design. And it’s a “public benefit corporation”, which doesn’t mean much because it’s still for-profit, but it at least means they’re allowed to not put profit ahead of public good, unlike normal for-profit companies. Not as good as Mastodon by far, with its true federation and true not-for-profit status in the guiding entity, but it’s not nothing.

A little disappointing that Bluesky is on there as well, but pretty awesome other than that. And I guess even Bluesky is probably better than Threads, and definitely better than Xitter.

I’m particularly glad to see Pixelfed as the only Instagram alternative, because it’s a great space that could use more support.

Fuck yeah Randall is based af.

In case you’re really not familiar.

Captain Planet was a kid’s cartoon in the '90s where 5 kids were given rings that could control different elements (one each of the classical elements, plus heart). When together they could combine their powers to summon the eponymous Captain Planet, a superhero who cared greatly about environmental justice (which was the main theme of the show).

Honestly I can’t even figure out how to get that alpine-chrome image to work. I edited my Dockerfile to say

FROM zenika/alpine-chrome:with-puppeteer

instead of

FROM node:22

I tried changing USER node to USER chrome. I removed all the apt-get dependencies that were needed to get Puppeteer working in Docker on my PC in the first instance, and added --chown=chrome to my COPY package.json line, all as described in the with-puppeteer example. I also added the ENV lines from that. (I also tried various combinations of some of the aforementioned changes but not others.) Now I get an error with the npm install step.

Which I just now (after posting) noticed was already mentioned in a different comment. Sorry!

I’m guessing the user who made that other comment is on lemmy.world? I can’t see any comment other than yours, and LW has known issues with federation (issues that would be fixed if the instance weren’t 5 version behind…) that mean I probably won’t be able to see it for about 2 days right now. So thanks!

I haven’t looked into the suggestion in great detail yet, but I will say I’m already running as a non-root user (USER node is a line in my Dockerfile). I’m not sure what a seccomp profile is, but in case it wasn’t clear from the original post, I just want to emphasise that the current configuration works in Docker on my Windows PC. It’s only on the Synology NAS that it fails.

Personally I’m not enormously worried about SSH, because I’m behind NAT anyway, but yeah it’s definitely still something I’d rather keep off if not in use.

Is there a way to get a terminal on the Synology itself, or is SSH from my PC the only way?

I would love to containerise it. I worked with Docker in a previous job, but honestly I’ve forgotten most of how to work with it. Would be a nice refresher to try and relearn how to create Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yamls.

Unfortunately I currently have two problems. First: I seem to be completely unable to test this on my desktop. When I open Docker on my PC, it complains that I need to run wsl --shutdown, but despite doing that many times, it still complains, before immediately closing.

So I was going to try doing it entirely on the Synology. And then I ran into the issue that…I have no idea how to even start with that. When I search for Docker in the Package Manager the only thing that comes up is Synology’s own container manager, and I have no idea how to work with that.

Yeah I’m pretty sure my Synology should be able to run containers. It’s a DS923+. But unfortunately when I search for Docker in the Package Manager the only thing that comes up is Synology’s own container manager, and I have no idea how to work with that.

How do you run a docker container on Synology? I have a DS923+ which AFAIK should be able to run it, but when I search for Docker in the Package Manager the only thing that comes up is Synology’s own container manager, and I have no idea how to work with that.

I can, but that would require manually starting it up every time I restart my computer—which is daily, for the most part. And there are times when I don’t even turn on my computer for the day, or don’t do so before the 2pm time the bot needs to run. It would be better to have it running on a system that’s always online.

I shared my parents’ account, but rather than locking me and my sister out of Netflix when they started bringing in restrictions against account sharing, Netflix just…deleted our account entirely. Maybe something to do with my parents being in a different country from me and my sister.

So anyway we haven’t had Netflix for like 2 years now thanks to that. Thankfully we’ve got a really nice…alternative streaming site with all the stuff that Netflix has, and any other stuff available from around the web, with the niceties of being streaming based rather than requiring downloading ahead of time, and keeping your watch progress etc.
