There are more than enough sources, just google "TikTok Chinese government influence". Just a few examples:

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/11/china-is-using-tiktok-for-influence-campaigns-odni-says-00146336

Also, just think about it: The CCP loves spreading propaganda. There's a massive social media platform controlled by China, which is used by young people in foreign adversary nations. Why wouldn't they leverage this platform to spread their lies and influence people? It's literally the perfect opportunity.

They're both dumb as hell and love to be influenced by autocratic governments

*allegedly

No one knows for sure, since WhatsApp is proprietary

TikTok is literally controlled directly by the Chinese government, which is officially considered a foreign adversary (for a good reason)

Unfortunately it's not

True, didn't say that it didn't take me an eternity to set it up

Thanks, I'll try it out

Is it worth checking out? Any advantages/disadvantages over Kubernetes?

Interesting, never heard of it

But Kubernetes has nothing to do with HasiCorp?

You mean Bazzite? Yeah, it's really great. Based on uBlue, which is actually based on Fedora's Atomic spins. It's very stable, secure and reliable, and pretty hard to mess up. Basically the closest thing to SteamOS that you can get.

uBlue Bazzite is pretty cool, Fedora/Nobara, Pop!_OS, Mint, etc. mostly just work, Gauda is arch-based, is optimized for gaming and performance and is pretty user friendly.

Btw you can self host an open source Tailscale server called Headscale. And there's NetBird which is a fully open source alternative to Tailscale.

What has your experience with Headscale been like? Also, have you tried NetBird?

I used to use Wireguard with Authelia, then I switched to Tailscale (with a self-hosted Headscale server), and now I'm trying out Netbird (which is open source btw)

It's from Software Freedom conservancy, they regularly publish such great articles. These guys do a whole bunch of great work in general, I highly recommend checking their other articles, maybe follow them on Mastodon (@conservancy@social.sfconservancy.org) or donate a few bucks to support them.

You can self-host Lemmy-Search, it's probably the best option right now. Unfortunately their official instance is down, what a shame that no one else is hosting a public instance.

Once setup correctly, almost none.

You can actually create custom DNS records in NextDNS

Private DNS (DoT) shouldn't interfere with your VPN. It actually overrides the default DNS resolver set by the system or a VPN app.
