How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?

I’m doing a bunch of AI stuff that needs compiling to try various unrelated apps. I’m making a mess of config files and extras. I’ve been using distrobox and conda. How could I do this better? Chroot? Different user logins for extra home directories? Groups? Most of the packages need access to CUDA and localhost. I would...

Lily33,

NixOS containers could do what OP's asking for, but it'll be trickier with just nix (on other distro). It'll handle build dependencies and such, but you'll still need to keep your home or other directories clean some other way.

Lily33,

Any files created by programs running in the dev environments will remain.

Lily33,

Does NOT delete any files that were written to, for example, ~/.local or ~/.config from dev shell.

One of OP's problems was,

How does Tor help ssh behind NAT?

Lily33,
  1. Not open source.
  2. Can't customise my feed in any way. It's full of creators I don't like who post a lot of videos.
Lily33,

NixOS does that well. I never quite managed to figure out a solution to this on other distros (which is actually what led me into making the jump in the end).

Lily33,

For me at least, that's true on lemmy, but not so much on kbin - my feed there is seems to include smaller communities too.

Lily33,

Kind of - but a lot of my communities just don't get more than one post per day, so that limits the diversity a lot.

Microblogging Platform with an Algorithm (kbin.social)

When I tried Mastodon, I found I couldn't get the content I'm interested in there. I'm not really interested in following specific people; instead I want to see posts that fit my interests, regardless of who made them. Hence (apparently very unpopular on the Fediverse), I actually want an algorithm that can create a personalized...

Lily33,

I didn't know that kbin microblogs also pull Mastodon posts by hashtags! That's a really nice feature.

BTW can Lemmy communities also have tags? None of the ones I subscribe to seem to have any...

Lily33,

I want to be able to create my own if I want to. But also I think it's important not to make everyone recreate that same work. Do it say, they should be public by default, with the option to make a private one.
