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.

What I see as the problem is the same as the root problem elsewhere: all or nothing thinking

I would tend to agree.

I kinda think we are probably doomed

Consider this: When I was a young man we were engaged in the War Bay of Pigs, we had the Cuban missile crisis (there was a lot more going on in that area than most people realized), the very real possibility of global thermonuclear destruction, Vietnam, the violence and upheavals of the 60s, the 70s, and into the 80s, etc.

In 700 BC, Hesiod lamented the Iron Age as an era of constant toil, strife, warfare, and moral decay. He wishes he hadn’t been born in such a degraded time, describing how fathers and children will be at odds and people will dishonor their parents. He portrays the younger generation as greedy, restless, and lacking the virtues of earlier ages. Socrates too, chimed in.

What I can do is have tiny influence on the people I speak to.

Tho it may seem defeatist, I gave up trying to save the world back in the 60s when I came to the stark, yet liberating realization, that I cannot save the world, nor does it want to be saved. The very best I could possibly do is to influence a handful of people relatively speaking, and hope, in turn, they do the same.

Worst thing for the environment since cars

…and yet, we get in our cars and go to work, play, vacations, and never think much about it. Economies would crash if there weren’t necessary means of transportation. I don’t disagree that cars are pollutive, even tho we have made great advances in controlling and mitigating a lot of the pollutive aspects, and I don’t deny that AI contributes to carbon emissions. Which is why I keep saying that AI needs heavy regulation, much like we did with the early years of automobiles to present day. Another consideration is that the internet displaces carbon emissions with people who work remotely at home, streaming vs physical media being produced, etc.

It’s better than billions underreacting

Oh, it is always wise to educate yourself, take steps to mitigate pollutive aspects in our lives. But I don’t think that throwing the AI baby out with the bath water is conducive, much like we’re not going to stop using transportation. So in order to get the best of both worlds, there must be regulation, as much as I dislike regulation.

So, like transportation, AI isn’t going away. There must be regulation. For example: If company xyz runs an AI data center, it must be powered by renewable energy sources by x %. And why not extend that to all data centers? During COVID, about 557 million workers, or 17.4% of global employment, worked from home. COVID should have been an eyeopener globally. Skies over cities cleared somewhat and in some instances, significantly. Animals returned to their native habitats in the absence of humans. We have the technology to do better. We are just greedy and shortsighted.
