This is a tricky statement, though. You could argue that sorting popular posts to the top is an attempt to maximize engagement, since you're probably more likely to click on and/or comment on top posts. Lemmy just has less data to use to make the decisions as to what you'd like, but it's still trying to do it.

Oh no! I didn't know that. I was considering getting a Polestar a few years ago, but ended up getting a BMW instead (an iX, then an i4)

They said they're just gonna withdraw and focus on the European market instead.

Makes sense. In the end, the USA only accounts for around 7.5% of EV sales globally so it doesn't make sense to overindex on US sales when it's much easier for them to sell in other countries.

Lemmy has algorithmic feeds though, unless you're just using the new, old, or top feeds. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

There's some Chinese EVs in the USA - you can buy BYD busses, trucks and forklifts (we use BYD busses at work for transportation between buildings), and Waymo's new van-looking cars are manufactured by Zeekr.

The Polestar 4 and Volvo EX30 are also both built on a Chinese platform (Geely / Zeekr) but the US is OK with them since they're partially manufactured in South Korea and partially in the USA at Volvo's factories.

The issue is that there's huge tariffs, it's hard to get Chinese cars approved to sell in the US, plus the US is still mostlyl holding on to the legacy dealership model. The Chinese cars are so much better and cheaper than US brands, but the US has to protect the dying legacy US brands.

Does Patchmon not have a setting to look for the Docker socket in a different location?

I could be wrong but I don't think there's any security issues making a symlink to a socket, since permissions/ACLs on the socket would still apply.

I'm going to make an effort to never pick 7 again.

Proton's server is closed source so I don't trust it as much as Bitwarden.

My Epyc 7702 does have onboard TPM, but my supermicro H11DSi-NT doesn't pass it through to the OS, for some reason

Huh... That's interesting. At my workplace we have Linux EPYC servers with working TPM (it's mandated that all computers, both clients and servers, must have TPM 2.0), but I'm not a hardware person and don't know exactly how they're configured.

It's crazy that forced arbitration is legal in the US.

This is good to know. I haven't had issues with using a USB drive though, since it doesn't receive many reads or writes - the system is copied to a RAM drive on boot and runs off that rather than the USB.

I assume this means I'd need another drive to boot it from? My current setup is that I have 2 x 22TB drives in a ZFS mirror for data storage, and 2 x 2TB NVMe SSDs in a ZFS mirror for things like VMs, Docker containers, documents, etc.
