+1 I’m surprised nobody else mentioned it. Alpine seems to be able to run on anything.

And I’d guess that’s done in the backend instead of the frontend. They should be able to know how many times their server steamed a part of a video.

Well, it does harm creators, as they may get less money. The same goes for adblockers.

Then again I don’t really understand why would you care about being “shamed”, especially by a company that charges money for a frontend using YouTube’s (extremely expensive) servers for free.

Take it with a grain of salt, as I can’t provide any sources and I’m not a YouTube content creator. I just remember some channels sharing than.

I completely agree with you, and that’s the reason I block them as well. I was just trying to give an explaination for the app’s behaviour.

As I’ve mentioned in another thread, I believe YouTube provides analytics on this (hence the “most replayed” parts for some videos), and I’m certain I’ve seen some creators mention sposors requiring that information before a deal is made. So it may really hurt some small youtubers that can’t rely on merchandise sales.

That said, I personally use sponsorblock as I don’t feel like wasting my life on nordvpn ads, but I have to admit sponsor segments are a whole lot better than regular YouTube ads.

Edit: And as I far as I know they pay much better than regular ads.

I believe YouTube provides analytics on this to the creator which may be shared with a potential sponsor before a deal is made.

I believe this is because sponsor segments are like traditional TV ads. They don’t use trackers, they are not targeted and they respect your privacy.

My model, and I believe all other, have a 4pin molex connector for the power and as many sata ports as the rack can handle (in my case 4). My “mobile rack” came with 4 rather long sata cables (about 30cm) so it was easy to fit them through an empty pcie bracket slot and I just had to buy a somewhat long 4pin molex adapter.

The drives are practically internal, they are just located outside of the case in said “mobile rack”.

i got a Fujitsu D556/2 (SFF as well) exactly because it seemed to have an optical drive bay. Turned out it does not have one, but some double sided tape and ugly cable management solved the issue for me :D.

Mobile rack is just what these things seem to be called. Basically it’s just a cage that fits multiple 2.5" drives into a CD/DVD drive bay.

Yes. For some reason yesterday, while trying to use the demo it just returned a login screen. Strangely, today it just logs in automatically.

Is it just me or there are no login credentials for the demo listed anywhere?

Maybe give FileBrowser a shot. It’s not very fast, but it’s very easy to setup and keeps your folder structure intact.

If RAID is what you’re after, don’t mind the premium for SSD storage and have available 5.25" bays, I highly recommend 5.25" mobile racks. The one I’m using is a a cheap 4 drive one, but if you want something more premium there is always ICY DOCK.

Exactly. Just as a real world example for OP, my home server has an i5 7400 with the same TDP. At idle the whole system draws around 10.5W, measured from the wall.

Just gave it a try, and it seems to work just fine like that. Thank you.

Just with different environment variables?

Is it ok to just run a few instances with just different port numbers and environment variables? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I thought some isolation was needed, even planned on running the instances as different users. Also, thank you for the detailed explanation.

What about running it as a flatpak? Do you think that’s restricted enough if it is exposed to the internet?

I would guess mostly because python interpretes are just about everywhere.

Also the binaries compiled with nuitka end up being much bigger in size. A simple script of a few kb can and up in the hundreds of mb when you start compiling the dependencies, so it’s not a perfect solution.

At the time we were watching Stranger things a lot, so I called it demogorgon.

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn’t have to remember how to do it. And I didn’t even name it after her…

Not only that it’s basically everywhere, but even if it’s not, you can compile it using something like nuitka and still use it.

Can you point me to some of them? I’m quite interested in visual hashing.

Well, we have hashing algorithms that do exactly that, like phash for example.

I’m using Linux and never really bothered scanning for viruses. Is ClamAV a good start?

Can’t see anyone mentioning this, but have you tried the johncena releases on 1337x?

All of them are neatly compressed, don’t need Steam and I haven’t seen a single one that doesn’t work out of the box on Manjaro.

From what I’ve gathered so far, it seems that it’s up to the artist what tags are included with the track, and most of them don’t bother to include any.

So far even the ones that I found that included some metadata are simply not consistent enough and retagging them with Picard seems better.

Thank you so much. Works perfectly!

I was talking about the id3 tags, but it seems all the albums I downloaded lack any tags.

Why not name them? Personally, I’m most disappointed in r/cyberpunk. They kind of proved they are all about neon lights.

You’re probably right. I should go check out the source at some point.

Isn’t Hot supposed to work like that? When it’s not broken, of course.

I feel like some simple algorithm like the ones used in dithering may be used to mix up the feed.

Well, imho, at least half of r/antiwork posts were escapist fiction of how one should have replied to their manager.

Do we really need excuses for pirating media?

I pirate movies because I think digital access to them is overpriced, goes to the copyright holder instead of the creators, it’s convenient and most importantly because I can.

I can’t pirate going to the cinema, nor can I afford to build my own, therefore I gladly pay to have a seat and enjoy a movie there.

Edit: I thought this may be relevant to the movies example I gave. I don’t think movie studios, giving nothing back to society after massive profits are the ones we should debate the morals of stealing with.

Years ago I selfhosted Nextcloud and found this interaction just as clunky as using google drive. Now I’m just using SFTP which has much less overhead and it integrates beautifully with just about any file manager on Linux. Then again, using it on windows is a pain as far as I know.

You’re absolutely right.

Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones.

I think that’s mostly because most commercial apps have fantastic ui and ux.

It’s so encouraging to hear so many pro Firefox opinions lately. Then I remember I’m logged into the pirate instance of a federated platform and anti-corporate sentiment is probably as high as it gets.

Sadly most younger people haven’t even heard of Firefox.

If this is just for the fun of it I would try to run these services inside a virtual machine and just screen capture them. Never tried it but I don’t see a reason why it won’t work.
