  • Not to create an argument, which isn’t my intent, as certainty there may be a thought such as, “scraping as it stands is good because of the simplification and ‘benefit’”. Which, sure, it’s easiest to wide net and absorb, to simply the concept, at least as I’m also understanding it.

    Yet, maybe it is the process of scraping, and also absorbing into databases including AI, which is a worthwhile point of conversation. Maybe how we’ve been doing something isn’t the continued ‘best course’ for a situation.

    Undeniably, more minutely monitoring what is scraped and stored creates large quantities, and large in scope, of questions and obstacles, but, maybe having that conversation is where things should go.

    Thoughts?


  • Yeah. I’m trying to find more about how the Linux VM on Android is setup, but idk if the Pixel 6a is able to run a GUI/window manager for that VM.

    Well, the Linux VM on Android uses a loopback and does not work while a VPN is on. So it won’t route the VM through it as it just doesn’t open with a VPN on.

    It will work from the Private Space, but then that doesn’t share a VPN connection so no VPN for the VM unless one is opened through the Private Space.

    And this was just an experiment to see if the new CLI beta for ProtonVPN would work in the VM, as the OpenVPN config method for ProtonVPN does seem to work, but likely as it doesn’t depend on any GUI related actions or programs.

    Would you be able to share why you wouldn’t recommend running a VPN in the VM on Android?
