Sir. Haxalot

I’m not sure what you mean, are you trying to imply that the EU at the current state is not dependent on US technology? Because I think that is simply not true at all. In general the US is massively ahead on tech (and not just AI) and a lot of EU companies has made themselves dependent on especially US cloud providers. I have worked on finding EU alternatives and while there are products that can work it’s usually clear that it’s somewhat behind and you’re playing catch up.

It’s interesting to hear that there are at least some cases of the US also being dependent on EU technologies.

Edit: Im not saying that it’s impossible or that we shouldn’t reduce our reliance on US techs and cloud products. Just that it’s delusional to pretend we aren’t behind.

The collective Arch username has already encountered every single possible problem so of course their wiki is excellent

You could try a Wordpress static generator extension like SimplyStatic. Then you’d be able to export your existing site to static files but it might not work properly with some extensions.

Yeah, my first thought was that it’s a reference to how facism has grown by allowing people to discuss it in anonymous echo chambers.

At least when pouring my shit into Big Tech I can be reasonably sure that it disappears into the ocean of other data they have, and it’s exceptionally unlikely that someone with the access to do so would actually look into me specifically.

That any unhinged individual on the internet can pull out more information than strictly necessary about my online history is a completely different threat model. I understand that the federated model requires some level of data sharing to keep track of posts but I would kind of have expected that the instance that “owns” the post would be the only instance that needs this info.

On the other hand, I’m sure that absolute privacy like completely hidden post history to some extent will help bad faith actors with troll farms and bots so I don’t fucking know.

Last time I (was forced to) use SUSE it was unfortunately vastly inferior to RedHat. Mainly in terms of reliable stability like how they claim to have the longest supported major versions but change so much in their “Service Packs” that you’ll have to be on your toes every 18 months anyway (and release notes for the SP wasn’t really created, only for major versions). and Arch doesn’t even try to deliver that kind of stability…

Ubuntu is probably a better bet since at least Canonical is based in the UK. Or simply Debian
