Personally, it seems like it’s trustworthy again. The previous owner of the repo did eventually admit that they authorized the transfer, but, The entire transfer process was extremely sketchy and had no chain of custody or trust. It was just the repository got deleted, and then a few days later showed under a whole blank state again with a user with no profile, no contribution history, and it was just a trust me bro, I knew the original maintainer look I have the keys to prove it.

The maintainer of the Google Play build of it seems to trust them though, and they are established in the community, And archived their sync thing builds again in favor of just using one repo, so it’s likely fine.

For future people wondering about it as well, it doesn’t help that the new maintainer of the app has deleted every issue that had to do with the migration, so you no longer can research the issue for yourself. The only information you have available to you is the discussion chain on the community forums, But any type of issue that they link to were deleted.

Personally though, I plan on keeping my current version pinned to prior to the transfer until either I’m forced to update due to bugs or I feel comfortable with the current maintainer again. I’m not sure how long that will be.

For an app that contains very sensitive information, I was not impressed with how the transfer process underwent.

I’ll have to ask them how effective it is now that its been deployed for a bit. I wouldn’t expect so either based off how I’ve seen open sourced projects using stuff like that, but they also haven’t been complaining about it screwing up at all.

That was my general thought process prior to them telling me how the system worked as well. I had seen claude workflows which does similar, but to that level I had not seen before. It was an eye opener.

I do agree, LLM generated code is inaccurate, which is why they have to have the throw it back in stage and a human eye looking at it.

They told me their main concern is that they aren’t sure they are going to properly understand the code the AI is spitting out to be able to properly audit it (which is fair), then of course any issue with the code will fall on them since it’s their job to give final say of “yes this is good”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The scary part is how it already somewhat is.

My friend is currently job hunting because they added AI to their flow and it does everything past the initial issue report.

the flow is now: issue logged -> AI formats and tags the issue -> AI makes the patch -> AI tests the patch and throws it back if it doesn’t work -> AI lints the final product once working -> AI submits the patch as pull.

Their job has been downscaled from being the one to organize, assign and work on code to an over-glorified code auditor who looks at pull requests and says “yes this is good” or “no send this back in”

more than partially actually. 85% of Mozillas income comes from search engine deals.Then when you look at the revenue reports for the year, its stated in it that.

Approximately 85% and 81% of Mozilla’s revenues from customers with contracts were derived from one customer for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Receivables from that one customer represented 70% and 64% of the December 31, 2023 and 2022 outstanding receivables, respectively.

I’m no accountant and while Google is not specified. That sounds like the signs are pointing at google being 85% of the projects income.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
They are very nice. They share kernelspace so I can understand wanting isolation but, the ability to just throw a base Debian container on, assign it a resource pool and resource allocation, and install a service directly to it, while having it isolated from everything without having to use Docker’s emphereal by design system(which does have its perks but I hate troubleshooting containers on it) or having to use a full VM is nice.

And yes, by Docker file I would mean either the Docker file or the compose file(usually compose). By straight on the container I mean on the container, My CTs don’t run Docker period, aside from the one that has the primary Docker stack. So I don’t have that layer to worry about on most CT’s

As for the memory thing, I was just mentioning that Docker does the same thing that containers do if you don’t have enough RAM for what’s been provisioned. The way I had taken that original post is that specifying 2 gigs of RAM to the point the system exhausts it’s ram would cause corruption and the system crashes, which is true but docker falls for the same issue if the system exhausts it’s ram. That’s all I meant by it. Also cgroups sound cool, I gotta say I haven’t messed with them a whole lot. I wish proxmox had a better resource share system to designate a specific group as having X amount of max resources, and then have the CT or vm’s be using those pools.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Yea I plan to try out the new Proxmox version at some point to try that out, thank you again.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I think we might have a different definition of Virtualized and containers. I use IBM’s and Comptias definitions.

IBM’s definition is
```
Virtualization is a technology that enables the creation of virtual environments from a single physical machine, allowing for more efficient use of resources by distributing them across computing environments.
```
The IBM page themselves acknowledges that containers are virtualization on their Containers vs Virtual Machines page. Just because it shares it’s kernel space does not mean it’s not virtualization. I call virtualization as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the system being run.

Comptia’s definition of containers would be valid as well. Which states that containers are a virtualization layer that operates at the OS level and isolates the OS from the file system. Whereas virtual machines are an abstraction layer between the hardware and the OS.

I grew this terminology from my comptia networking+ book from 12 years ago though, which classifies Virtualization as “a process that adds a layer of abstraction between hardware and the system” which is a dated term since OS level virtualization such as Containers wasn’t really a thing then.

Will be looking into that, I haven’t upgraded from 8.4 yet. That sounds like a pretty decent thing to have.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Your statements are surprising to me, because when I initially set this system up I tested against that because I had figured similar.

My original layout was a full docker environment under a single VM which was only running Debian 12 with docker.

I remember seeing a good 10gb different with ram usage between offloading the machines off the docker instance onto their own CT’s and keeping them all as one unit. I guess this could be chalked down to the docker container implementation being bad, or something being wrong with the vm. It was my primary reason for keeping them isolated, it was a win/win because services had better performance and was easier to manage.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will pay $135 million to settle illegal data collection lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
as much as I would love this. If it ever did become a thing, what you would see wouldn’t be companies taking the fine, you would see companies “off-branching” and having income be reported on a parent company that is contracted to the offending company. like in the case of alphabet, they would likely just migrate the android division to be a contractee that they have full control over that they never terminate the contract for. They no longer “own” android legally, they contract android to do their bidding. So when it ends up in court, it ends up as a “well Android did it not us” much like how Amazons third party delivery services worked when they tried to enforce unionization laws.

some important clarification though, that is a hard cap, realistically it will likely be quite a bit less.

This is a great way to say it. I feel the same. You put the same effort in regardless where it comes from.

When you say moderated, do you mean a comment or did you do another post? if its a comment is that something your instance does? or did it just fail to send. you peaked my curiosity because I wasn’t aware of instances filtering comments, only posts.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not a mod but, to me I see self hosting as maintaining your own setup. If it’s hosted in a cloud you still are maintaining the setup you are just offloading hardware responsibilities to someone else.

It’s not like you are signing up for google photos and then saying “yo guys I have my own photos self hosted”, you still are putting the pain and suffering into making it work, you just aren’t worrying about the hardware or network requirements (outside of security)

Being said, some people firmly see "“self-hosting” as you buy the parts, install and configure everything and it’s coming out of your house.

It’s a sticky situation, imo that type of ideology also throws any type of using a DNS/DDOS host out the window as well., but again YMMV depending on who you ask.

I definitly think if you are installing -> configuring -> maintaining and then -> using. you meet the definition of self hosting.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
are you are saying running docker in a container setup(which at this point would be 2 layers deep) uses less resources than 10 single layer deep containers?

I can agree with the statement that a single VM running docker with 10 containers uses less than 10 CT’s with docker installed then running their own containers(but that’s not what I do, or what I am asking for). I currently do use one CT that has docker installed with all my docker images, which I wouldn’t do if I had the ability not to but some apps require docker) but this removes most of the benefits you get using proxmox in the first place. One of the biggest advantages of using the hypervisor as a whole is the ability to isolate and run services as their own containers. Throwing everything into a VM with docker bypasses that while adding headway to the system.

For explanation. Installing docker into a VM on proxmox then running every container in that does waste resources. You have the resources that docker requires to function (which is currently 4 gigs of ram per their website but when testing I’ve seen as low as 1 gig work fine)+ cpu and whatever storage it takes up) in a VM(which also uses more than CT’s do as they no longer share kernel). When compared to 10 CT’s that are finetuned to their specific app, you will have better performance running the CT’s than a VM running everything, while keeping your ability to snapshot and removing the extra layer and ephemeral design that docker has(this can be a good and bad thing, but when troubleshooting I learn towards good).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t like how everything is docker containerized.

I already run proxmox, which containerizes things by design with their CT’s and VM’s

Running a docker image ontop of that is just wasting system resources.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I think this is very likely the reason yea.

I’m also now finding out that they had to censor the coverart of the switch 2 edition a few weeks ago as well which I was unaware of. If it turns out they knew for awhile that it would be censored, and just chose not to tell anyone that is going to permanently damper my opinion of their studio. Like it’s one thing to be like “This was forced upon us last minute so we threw a solution together” it’s a whole different situation of knowing that it was going to happen, then refusing to tell the consumers about it since you knew it would lower sales.

Along with that, we asked for comment from AdHoc concerning the decision to censor Dispatch’s Deluxe Edition artwork on the Nintendo eShop as compared to the PC/PS5 release, and if that indicated any censorship in the game itself. We were told that “unfortunately, the studio cannot comment on the topic at this time.” Along with that, it was said that if AdHoc is able to discuss the matter down the road, their comment would be shared with us.

It sounds to me like they knew this change was going to be required at that point, but didn’t want to publicly announce that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FR#151 – TikTok Won’t Be Another Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
X to doubt. Considering that they already had issues with censorship which is labeled as “bugs”.

The bug wasn’t that the message wasn’t sending, the bug was that you were able to detect that the message wasn’t sending.

That’s how X/Twitter works. They don’t “censor” anything, they de-prioritize it things that don’t match current ideologies.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is likely it.

There is also the rumor that this wasn’t a choice by Nintendo, but a choice of the dev’s so they didn’t have to have two separate editions to be able to sell in Japan(like they already do for the playstation edition). If that’s the case this makes it even worse IMO since it wasn’t like a last minute “BTW this is a thing” they had plenty of time to tell buyers that the product was altered

The fact that they allow Resident Evil Village of all games on the Switch but don’t allow this animated nudity scene is insane to me. RE Village was one of the most graphic games I have ever seen.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If there’s a way of pulling a Docker container and running it directly as a CT on Proxmox, please fill me in. I’ve been using it for a year and a half to two years now, but I haven’t seen any ability to directly use a Docker container as an LXC.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is what I currently do with non-specialized services that require Docker. I have one container, which runs Docker Engine, and I throw everything on there, and then if I have a specialized container that needs Docker, I will still run its own CT. But then I use Docker Agent, So I can use one administration panel.

It’s just annoying because I would rather just remove Docker from the situation because when you’re running Proxmox, you’re essentially running a virtualized system in a virtualized system because you have Proxmox, which is the bare bones running a virtualized environment for the container, which is then running a virtualized environment for the Docker container.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
For VMs, I fully agree with you, but the best part about Proxmox is the ability to use containers, or CTs, which share system resources. So unlike a VM, if you specify a container has two gigs of RAM, that just means that it has two gigs of RAM that it can use, unlike the VM where it’s going to use that amount (and will crash if it can’t get that amount)

These CT’s do the equivalent of what docker does, which is share the system space with other services with isolation, While giving an easy to administrate and backup system, while keeping it able to be seperate by service.

For example, with a Proxmox CT, I can do snapshots of the container itself before I do any type of work, if where if I was using Docker on a primary machine, I would need to back up the Docker container completely. Additionally, having them as CTs mean that I can run straight on the container itself instead of having to edit a Docker file which by design is meant to be ephemeral. If I had to take troubleshooting bare bones versus troubleshooting a Docker container, I’m going to choose bare bones every step of the way.(You can even run an Alpine CT if you would rather keep the average Docker container setup)

Also for the over committing thing, be aware that your issue you’ve stated there will happen with a Docker setup as well. Docker doesn’t care about the amount of RAM the system is allotted. And when you over-allocate the system, RAM-wise, it will start killing containers potentially leaving them in the same state.

Anyway, long story short, Docker containers do basically the same thing that a Proxmox CT does. it’s just ephemeral instead of persistent, And designed to be plug-and-go, which I’ve found in the case of running a Proxmox-style setup, isn’t super handy due to the fact that a lot of times I would want to share resources such as having a dedicated database or caching system, Which is generally a pain in the butt to try to implement on Docker setups.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I’m sick of everything moving to a docker image myself. I understand on a standard setup the isolation is nice, but I use Proxmox and would love to be able to actually use its isolation capabilities and already have the isolation. The enviroment is already suited for the program. Just give me a standard installed for the love of tech.

I don’t see any company jumping at the rim to implement these though, especially considering the high change that it will just be overturned next party flip. Stuff like this needs bi-partisanship and transparency otherwise it just gets revoked when the party flips again.

it’s a waste of money until it’s clear both primary parties agree with the change, the fact it had to be done in silent/under the table says everything about the volatility of this change.
