 Shout out to yt-dlp. My job as a content creator would become either way harder or impossible if it didn't exist. I use yt-dlp constantly to download my own videos for which I don't have the final exports anymore. Yes, Youtube Studio does have a "Download Video" button, but it only lets you download the video in a laughably bad quality. yt-dlp on the other hand lets me download the highest quality 4K version of any of my videos and that has saved my ass on multiple occasions The first incremental backup to my parents' NAS just finished running 🥳 686.5 gigabytes, 2 days and 19 hours @notthebee You mentioned in the video that backing up to AWS/any other cloud would take long as you only have around 50Mbit/s. However I can‘t see that this argument won‘t apply to your offisite backup as well :) In case you missed it, I went on the Self-Hosted Show with @ironicbadger and @ChrisLAS to talk about power efficient home servers and media transcoding: @notthebee @ironicbadger @ChrisLAS just read the first line but since I never used pfSense I haven‘t heard it yet The mainstream "tech" YouTubers and their consequences have been a disaster for my comment section. Thanks to LTT and co. indiscriminately telling their viewers about how hard drives are "dead" and doing sponsored server builds with 16TB SSD arrays, I now have to endure at least one teenager with a Roblox pfp per week commenting "HDDs are dead lol, nobody should be using spinning rust! downvoted and unsubscribed" under my video.

 @notthebee HDD's are still good value if you want more storage capacity than r/w speed. But, yea. Society. @notthebee Actually rust centrifuges are obsolete for most people, then again most people probably ought to look into backing up there data... That said I almost regret not buying two smaller SSDs instead of the 2x8TB for backup of the primary 2xnvme drives in the server. @notthebee "don't use VHS, betamax is the way" or "don't use simple DVDs or blurays, Disney hd DVD will win out". I only use my sdd to boot up the system it's not meant for long term storage. Does anyone own an Asrock N100DC-ITX running Linux and is able to run this command for me? sudo lspci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )'  NixOS home server is coming along nicely. Managed to configure most of my containers, using Podman this time around. And all of that on a ZFS root. Pretty neat! The config is still pretty messy but hey, it works https://github.com/notthebee/nix-config

@notthebee I started using after I saw the video and all my friends mock me for it…. except a dyslexic friend who started using the font as well @notthebee definitely not for me, but i get the vision. i love a aesthetic terminal, but not the handwritten looking font. @notthebee хорошее видео! As a very famous and influential Youtuber(tm) who often searches for footage/memes/other stuff to put in my videos: Multi-hour videos and their consequences have been a disaster for the yt-dlp race. Okay, that's it, I'm making a video about the whole Twitter/Mastodon situation. Will try to record/edit it today so that it doesn't come out when it's already irrelevant Would love to run my own Mastodon instance just for my account, but seeing how I my public-facing services are down for 3-5 days before I finally kick myself and fix the issue… probably not the best idea. Anyway, I just set up cloudflared for my self-hosted stuff, mostly because I CBA to constantly have to figure out why port forwarding/NAT/firewall is broken and how to fix it. @notthebee |
Gregory's Server
@notthebee German court has ruled that it is illegal to use because it circumvents the security of yt.
Here's my recent video downloaded through YT Studio's official "Download" functionality vs. the disgusting tool of pirates and content thieves /s
