Read the documentation on the sudoers file. You can specify particular commands to not require a password.

It may be important for OP’s dual-boot setup to note that Windows should be used to check an NTFS filesystem.

To me, that image looks like an example of indexing, not promotion.

If the pedophile site uses Lemmy software, an index of sites using Lemmy software would include it.

Is there additional information that would tilt the scale toward this being promotion rather than simple indexing?

This is what RAID is for. Duplicate, or at least spread, data across multiple disks so that a failure of one disk doesn’t result in data loss.

What relevance has this to RedditMigration?

Gaahh, my eyes! The green! It burns!

I don’t use Mastodon myself, but I appreciate the author’s perspective.

I used to spend hours per day on Reddit. Now I visit once or twice a month, read-only. My subscription is canceled and all my posts/comments deleted. My “front page of the Internet” is now here.

Baloo is the file indexer for KDE. It has little or nothing to do with Akonadi.

Just because your system is automated doesn’t mean it’s free of bias. LLMs are trained on human-generated content. Human-generated content has biases. The model will reflect those biases. There’s also the proclivity of GPT to be confidently incorrect, like when it made up completely bogus court cases and a credulous lawyer used them in an actual case. I wouldn’t want to get my news from a source that may be lying to my face.

Mine is located in my house.

I don’t like it when a project’s website only says “here, run this Docker container” and doesn’t have manual setup instructions. I don’t want to just run a black box Docker container, I want to know what the knobs are and what they do.

I felt like the subscription was reasonable for the amount of time I spent on Reddit.

My subscription was going to renew on July 3rd, but I let it expire. That seems like a wiser decision every day.

You might go with PC hardware. Just “hardware” could refer also to nuts, screws, and door hinges.

I’m still on Facebook because of that’s how I keep up with friends I no longer live near, but you know what Facebook has been loath to show me recently? Posts from my friends. Easily 75% of my feed is sponsored or “recommended” content. If they’re not going to show me the one and only thing I come to the site to see, I might as well not come to the site.

I stopped my premium membership, but I’ve still got 35800 coins. I don’t know what I’ll do with them.

There definitely were personalities on Reddit, like poem_for_your_sprog, who gained a following. I could see sprog making appreciable money with the proposed system.

You could run it under strace, e.g. strace -f -o shreddit.log shreddit…

That’ll show you the system calls it’s making. You might be able to tell if it’s waiting on a network request or local I/O. You can find guides online how to read strace output.

When I used shreddit, I pointed --gdpr-export-dir to the directory where I unpacked the archive from Reddit, not directly to comment.csv.

When the command is working, it’s pretty verbose.

everything follows whatever data laws they pass

Not just data access or privacy, but also data retention laws for public officials. While one can hope no nation is afflicted with a leader like Donald Trump, a government-run Mastodon server wouldn’t have problems like this.
