I could absolutely see a situation like that, where someone tries to use it to intentionally push misinformation. In my experience with AI, its really difficult to get it to push consistent results, because as established, if really likes to hallucinate stuff. Using AI to push propaganda, at least in this stage of its development, seems like an exercise in futility. How many times has Elon Musk gone back and fiddled with Grok because its not behaving the way he wants it to behave?

I know its not intelligent and thinking, you know what I mean. It could be manipulation, we’d really have know way of knowing. With how much it makes shit up tho, I lean towards that rather than conspiracy.

AI is just shit and doesn’t know what it’s talking about 90% of the time.

What’s the difference between this and FreeTube?

Not gonna disagree with you, but that not something I personally have the skill nor the infrastructure to achieve so I’ll take what I can get.

It runs an actual OS and has a real keyboard. Gives me way more utility than any smartphone.

You can run Jellyfin locally to watch the media you have stored locally.

Haha, fingers crossed.

I will definitely try again at some point in the next year, so I will keep that in mind! I appreciate the kind words. A lot of what you said is over my head at the moment though, so I’ve got my work cut out for me. 😅

I’m using docker. Tried to set up Jellyfin in one but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to work, even following the official documentation. Ended up just running the jellyfin package from my distros repo, which worked fine for me. Also tried running a tor snowflake, which worked, but there was some issue with the NAS being restricted and I couldn’t figure out how to fix that. I kinda gave up at that point and saved the whole container thing to figure out another day. I only switched to Linux and started self-hosting last year, so I’m still pretty new to all of this.

I still haven’t figured out containers. 🙁

I feel like most used consoles aren’t as crazy in price, as you’re making them out to be, but that may be dependent on your market. I’ve picked up a bunch of consoles over the last few years, both home consoles and handhelds, for the purpose of modifying them. I’ve found that I like to play on original hardware, but the physical games are so absurdly overpriced at this point, I’ve either converted them to run optical drive emulators or bought flash carts. I can boot up the consoles, select the game I want to play, and go. Its a cool way to modernize the consoles I grew up with, while overall getting the same original experience.

Yup, I’ve hacked most of my systems, and the Vita was shockingly easy. So easy I hacked my brother in laws for him too.

Is the softmod on it persistent between reboots? Last I looked into it you had to run the exploit every time.
