You’re right, damn I feel silly

Bahahaah, I think some folk are sad about this article

Mine is EE. Very little system settings are available, I can’t modify any technical limits. I fixed mine though, it was just overheating in its case -_-

I’ve arranged a replacement. In the meantime I’ve fixed its overheating…

This. I don’t do much but I have spent $1,200 on HDDs alone. Then there’s the true saviors of the internet with hundreds of TB, even PB of backed up, virus-free content

Thank you so much! Turns out my router is buggy and yes, I realized the hits were just peers. I’m a stoopid

Bingo - I haven’t been in this exact situation before so I had no idea. Clicking the link opens the app flawlessly, I should make more of an effort to check links in a browser

I’ve recently discovered a very useful app on f-droid called YTDLnis, that uses yt-dlp. Most of the typical scripting and config is hidden and the frontend just involves a URL to video/s, and pre-download preview.

Yeah, that’s my biggest concern as well. For example LetsPlay. They had a controversy in which one primary Minecraft player was fired and removed from the group, and I think a couple of their videos were scrubbed, even though the vast majority of content in the video was good entertainment.

There are also copyright and DMCA claims ruining any YouTuber’s video, entertainment value and monetisation, including Google bending the knee to corporations that don’t actually have the right to claim any content… There are a lot of reasons for wanting to archive the internet, mostly state/corporate overreach

I just do a lot of scavenging on the internet for prices, overclockers’ findings (they’re usually knowledgeable on how close to stock the cards are), specs like clockspeed, reviewers’ failure rates (average score and trending complaint reasons give a fair idea of build quality) and YouTubers’ gameplay comparisons with intensive games to see real-world framerate generation. Brands might change over time, so its always good to check again if its been a while, but generally their goals for modding GPUs stay the same.

If you are morally inclined, it’d also be prudent to do a quick background check on the brand for ethically terrible actions, like when was the last time they were responsible for a village’s drought, people dying, supporting cruelty to others etc. You can rate a brand by not only their care toward their product, but also toward customers via support and success of RMA (returns for defects), and toward humanity as a whole. ASUS score low on the customer front.

Glad you got it working! ytdl-sub is my go-to as well now that I’ve migrated it to a Linux server. A fantastic program. Be sure to enable throttle_protection though, my limits were too low and my account got blocked (using cookies because some of my subscriptions’ videos get flagged mature)

For those three, my experience has been Asus - overpriced, Sapphire - great value, Gigabyte - optimised but close to manufacture performance. My target has always been a Sapphire Radeon because they’re cheaper than Asus, but not suspiciously cheap that they might burn your rig down. ASRock are a good choice too, typically above average price:performance.

It still works for now. I’m in emergency hoard-shit-for-no-good-reason mode

Are you having issues? Because I’ve covered almost every error in my own attempts

I’d say the CLI is perfectly fine, I have a config in the same folder so all I have to do is input the URL. I just switch between output directories for episode vs playlist by ‘#’ commenting out the other.

That’s another thing I’m sympathetic to the US about - voter apathy is a strong beast and it’s unfortunate that the majority (in nearly any country) is not bothered about any change in power. Especially regarding those who seek to remove rights and livelihoods of certain people, as that always bites the majority in the arse.

There are Palestinian Jews, honestly how did a colony of 300m allow an unschooled pleb to run things? The USA forces their influence on other countries, so this fuckery is not limited to one country.

Motherfucker I’d better get started archiving

I had a long running plan that played out with my GTX 1080. I wanted my server (in my bedroom) to be as quiet as possible, and the (Gigabyte) 1080’s fans, with one slightly dodgy bearing, wasn’t going to cut it. I deshrouded it and ran thermal tests in my main PC. Long story short, while in the server machine it blitzed a local Piper model (<1s processing voice commands) and Emby transcoding with Max 5GB used. I know Piper is a far cry from an LLM, but at least you’ll know that its more than capable of everything else.

Edit: Here are my notes in case it helps anyone lol

This is just AdGuard basically, I expanded my server system onto a dedicated PC that takes MUCH less power than my primary desktop, but you can run it in Docker Engine if you have one PC. As easy as running it, going to the webpage it runs on (usually IP:8080 I believe), choosing your settings, then going into router settings and changing DNS IP to the IP of the machine it runs on! Reading material

Quick tip: Use Linux or ProxMox if you go the dedicated route, but this requires some technical work. I thought I needed a more powerful CPU for my server machine when it was on Windows because it was frequently at 100% and stalling things, idling at 80% usage. I was wrong. Now running ProxMox and at least a dozen servers, it idles at 12%.

You can turn it off for a device to connect to that site, or add it globally. You can also choose which block lists you use (they’re available from a list), some are too much. If a certain request from a specific device is being blocked when the site breaks, you can tap to add it to a whitelist. I also manipulate a local Home Assistant installation to host a whitelist that can be switched on/off as requested. I just hit app -> filters -> whitelist -> en/disable

Also it can moderate all traffic. You can block or add anything, with presets for porn if you’re not about that
