A friend of mine a while back was showing me some drums he was thinking about getting, and he had a YT video pulled up on his phone to show me of the drum kit in action. Two unskipable pre-rolls, one skippable pre-roll, the actual video, halfway through the video, another skippable ad. Jebus, how does anyone even put up with that? The ads were absolute bullshit too. One, as I remember, was this nurse advocating the use of Vicks Vapor Rub on your member to enhance the girth and length. I shit you not. I was like, who sees this and slathers Vicks Vapo Rub on your twigs n’ berries? Wow! That’s gotta burn. Damn sure would make mine run hide.

LLMs cause a lot of people to unknowingly violate copyright, and those people then become easy targets for malicious copyright litigation

I’d buy that. As a mediocre musician, one can even subconsciously ‘sample’ a copyrighted piece. I mean, there are only so many chords and combinations, melodies, etc, so duplicates, and even exact duplicates are bound to happen whether intentional or not. If you upload your track to say SoundCloud on the professional plan with which you intend to generate revenue, the track is heavily scrutinized, and often rejected for this very reason. You actually have to prove it’s OC by various means. They don’t want any pieces parts of any litigation that may even mildly involve them. So, I can see that.

Sure, that’s good. I understand how a beta test works. You test out the product, and contribute to the product with your feedback, and you usually get to keep said product. I was just quoting what was on the App store, which $5.99 for an app that is conducive to my needs is nothing really.

Hey that looks pretty cool. Looked it up int the App store. $5.99 USD. Not bad. In app purchases: NaviSyncRock. Couldn’t find anything on NaviSyncRock for $4.99 USD in the App store. What is NaviSyncRock?

People who don’t like codeberg can just go somewhere else

Didn’t down vote ya but…This. This is what I’ve been saying for forever.

if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

I pretty much said this in the other thread. Unless you own the platform, or a significant investor in said platform, you are subject to the whims of the platform, good, bad, or indifferent. Some don’t like that I guess because they feel like they supported the platform, may have contributed to the platform, but at the end of the day, the platform dictates law for the platform.

Kind of like lemmy.selfhosted. There are rules. If you don’t bother yourself with reading the rules before posting, you get what you get.

About 25-30 years ago, I converted the dining room of my house into a rather large food pantry. It’s just me, so I have little use for a dining room. So I use grocy & barcode buddy to track stock. When I bring in food stock it gets scanned in. When I consume food stock, it gets scanned out. I have an old Android tablet for the display and I have a hand scanner I bought off Amazon for $20. Actually works pretty well, and you can track stock levels. So if you are at the store, and there is a great sale on 50 lb sacks of flour, you can check stock and make a decision from there.

For recipes, I’ve been using CookTrace and I really like it. Mealie and CookTrace are pretty similar in a side by side comparison. I can bring recipes up on the Android tablet from the kitchen.

Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.

You’re welcome. I think they’ve made pretty decent strides especially with the companion app and the fact that YT is relentless in trying to circumvent frontends.

I think thats what I’ll do. Write a script, fired by a cron, to restart all three containers hourly and see how that goes. As I said further down, or up where ever this comment lands, that I do, on rare occasions, have issues with it. So, restarting couldn’t really hurt I wouldn’t think.

Yeah, if that doesn’t move you then you’re dead. LOL

In theory your webinstance shouldn’t cut out unless you click on something the exact moment the container is resetting

Most of what I use Invidious for is inspiration and some tutorials such as this I’m trying to learn:

12-string BASS

The guy makes me want to snap the neck of my bass in half.

it seems ill asvised to disable automatic updates

I use the WatchTower fork for now, but I use it with the run once flag:

 volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    command: --run-once --cleanup

So, when an update is available, I’ll delay updating until I am rather comfortable that all the early adopters have worked out all the bugs for me. LOL Thanks guys! You’re an invaluable service.

Well, it was quite simple and I feel a bit embarrassed. LOL When I ran an update, I thought it updated all three components: Invideous itself, the companion app, and the database. However, only the Invidious and database updated leaving the companion app for whatever reason out of the loop. So after fumbling around and doing a little reading, I just so happened to look at Portainer which has a green checkmark beside the container signifying it’s the current version. The companion app had an orange checkmark. So I updated again, and Jack’s a doughnut, Bob’s your uncle. But during my reading I came across the ‘reboot hourly’ admonishment that I don’t believe I’ve seen before. Long story short, everything is fine now.

I haven’t seen any reason to restart the service more often.

Alright. Cool.

I would just script a task to restart the docker container every hour. Shouldn’t be too much a hassle.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. A script fired by a cron every hour. I do have the occasional, rare issue with Invidious. So, I’m wondering if indeed I need more restarts. It couldn’t hurt.

Didn’t downvote ya but, yeah I guess I could do that if I were a dev. Also, I would personally feel responsible for someone’s loss or havoc caused my my app.

Regardless, widespread burnout

If I were a dev, that would be the number one reason I would not publish any app I created. The constant demands from users, the constant integrations, et al, nah…pass. I am grateful for who do, but that’s just not my bag.

Authentik

Didn’t downvote you but, even as someone who dabbles in AI, and who does not outright reject AI assisted opensource projects, I do really care about the content, the inner workings of said app. If for nothing other than I don’t want to mop up an attack because I deployed something unsafe on my network. So, while I am quite open to AI assisted projects, prudence is the operative word.

I feel that. It’s a constant detour.
