  • Perhaps a bad example because most people undermine them, but China has still decided to move forward with 4 different nuclear facilities this year despite having an ABUNDANCE of solar manufacturing. If they found that decision worthwhile I would think the opposite, assuming most of the reasoning is current battery tech can’t sustain dark periods at a massive scale, but I’m not an expert.

    Also just saw you mentioned nuclear costs in another comment, I suggest you look at South Korea and China’s cost per facility compared to the US, they’re able to build and maintain facilities at about half the US does.



  • Are US kids’ already dwindling attention spans going to be saved from exposure to the TikTok algorithm? Yes.

    You’re pinning the blame on tiktok when this also applies to YouTube (shorts and not), Instagram (Reels), Twitter. If we wanted an actual solution here we would implement actual children screen time laws, ironically similar to the under 18 gaming laws that have been implemented in China.

    Tiktok is the only platform I’ve seen legitimate progressive movement on various issues and discussions centering on what that means and takes, in a way that actually fosters a great democratic progressive movement in the US.

    From all I’ve read on this issue, not a single person has provided me with any insight into what or who this benefits that does not also apply to every other social media other than an entirely fabricated myth that they’re controlling the algorithms to spread anti US sentiment. Anti-US sentiment definitely exists, but it exists as a discussion around what the US is currently doing. I.e. funding Israel, and as a counterargument to that I am also fed state department interviews on my FYP.





  • Did not know you can’t run Windows containers on Linux interesting. Immediately assumed it was available but such a rare niche case.

    And to run Linux containers on Windows requires essentially running Linux on Windows, and then the Docker engine on Linux.

    I will say this is far easier than it sounds, it’s essentially just enabling WSL2 aland configuring volumes properly. I was trying not to intimidate someone who’s newer to a more complex hosting architectures


  • Running everything via docker solves both problems no matter which OS you choose since the underlying OS doesn’t matter.

    Also recommend this because you can have a single docker compose file that will boot all your servers automatically instead of having to boot them individually on restarts.

    Since you mentioned Plex, you can also incorporate your *arr stack/torrent clients (more complicated depending on which) into this if you’re using it.
