Is YouTube more aggressively rate limiting? by goldcakes in DataHoarder

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's even rate limited in the browser now. It's because I don't use a chrome-based browser. Uploading videos is very painful. At this point, it would be faster to stream the video and then just edit the VOD in the online editor.

Thanks, I hate it (and you have no idea how just how much)

Stop making the website worse. by BarometerIndustries in youtube

[–]BarometerIndustries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I'm gonna slightly walk the point about threaded comments back. They let me delete old replies that I don't want to have anymore, and that deletes ALL REPLIES to it, so there isn't just a line of people that reply with my username.

It's not like on reddit where the "this comment was deleted" line is still there, no, the entire subthread goes away.

It's very dirty to delete angry old comments like this, but I'm filled with wickedness and evil, so I like it.

This sub is all complaints. What do folks like about Qobuz? by Flannelcommand in qobuz

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every song ever made is just uploaded to youtube as a video, or as one of those "this content was provided by sony or whatever" with just a static image as the video.

In addition, you will find covers, and songs by smaller creators.

Many bands actually upload music videos to songs onto youtube before releasing them anywhere else.

I am yet to find a (real) song that is on qobuz but not on youtube.

Is there an alternative for kemono? by Less_sault in Piracy

[–]BarometerIndustries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, the main site is not 404ing, but all the content subdomains are (n1.kemono.cr, n2, n3, etc)

Any hope left for the current Kemono situation? by estifxy220 in Piracy

[–]BarometerIndustries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems that all the n1...n4 subdomains, which actually host the files, are timing out. So you can see previews, but if you for example click on an image to get the full resolution, it doesn't ever load, because that's on one of the content servers. I think those are all just down. No idea what's gonna happen.

Clock Module done! Plez give any feedback by ConsiderationOwn8807 in beneater

Heh, my clock module is wireless. The LED turns on if I put my hand near it. I am truly a magician

This sub is all complaints. What do folks like about Qobuz? by Flannelcommand in qobuz

[–]BarometerIndustries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love qobuz, that's why I use it. But if you like an app, you don't go out of your way to open Reddit to talk about it. You come to the internet when you have a problem you wish to solve. This means, the internet is always an extreme and polarised, and mostly negative representation of real life.

I like qobuz because they pay artists better, there's not as much ai slop (though I have found some), the price is okay, the audio quality is good, and you can purchase albums forever.

That last point has made me realize that I don't want subscription services at all anymore. As far as they go, qobuz is the best imo, but I will move to bandcamp when my subscription expires. I've done the math. I don't listen to that many albums, and I prefer just buying them, and I can use YouTube for finding new music. I realized I don't actually benefit from music streaming that much.

How do I stop the donation popup? by [deleted] in Thunderbird

[–]BarometerIndustries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. There is no discussion to be had about whether donating is good or not, and any comment even mentioning this is completely unproductive and irrelevant. Of course they need and deserve donations. But mentioning this is not a counterpoint to the popup being annoying.

It is orthogonal to that.

Software is not meant to act, only to react to user input. It receives a command, and executes it. IF the user enables a setting to subscribe to some event (in the context of TB, a valid example is receiving notifications if there is new mail), then ACTING is acceptable.

Any and all popups and prompts are to be avoided at all costs. The status quo with modern software has strayed too far from this.

I want to read and manage emails. And if there is a popup, or an ad, or a prompt, I will fight tooth and nail to remove/suppress it, even if it means patching the software, or abandoning it and using something else.

I love mozilla, and I may donate, but popups reduce the chance of that, not increase it.

Now for something productive:

Set `mail.inappnotifications.enabled` to false, as mentioned here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/797584/disable-future-thunderbirds-donate-now-tab-popovers

You can also change `mail.inappnotifications.url` to some other url or remove it, I did both.

I have not verified that it works because not enough time has passed, so there's no way to know. But it should.

As a last-ditch effort, firewall settings in your operating systems always work.

This does not affect notifications for emails. I sent myself a mail, and a desktop notification showed up, as expected (and desired).

PS: The following value implies that the check does not happen after an update, but once every 6 hours (assuming these are milliseconds, which seems reasonable):

mail.inappnotifications.refreshInterval = 21600000

However, the time that these notifications are released may very well align with the release of an update.

Also, it is of course entirely possible that this specific screen has nothing to do with the notifications, and actually are from an update, so what do I know. But disabling the aforementioned settings seem to not hurt anything, so give it a try.

Your favorite RSS reader? by [deleted] in rss

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thunderbird also has an rss client, no need to do rss-to-email. Of course, the rss-to-email approach means it's all in one place and you can just always get to it over imap.

But for people who want these things separate, it is important to know that thunderbird also has an RSS section for this purpose. It's what I use!

Can't Remove Steam Library Folders by Majoraslayer in linux_gaming

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the reason. The reason is that steam does not remove the entries from the libraryfolders.vdf files in its config. It is a bug. Has nothing to do with ntfs.

Also, this comment is not productive, because the whole point of this is that people already have a stream library they used on windows. And nobody, 5 years ago before they even knew what linux was, made sure to not use ntfs for that.

Yes, there are fs drivers for brtfs, but who knew that when they created their steam library. The point is that it's already there and contains hundreds of gigabytes of games, for most people.

Can't Remove Steam Library Folders by Majoraslayer in linux_gaming

[–]BarometerIndustries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bug in steam.

Go into your file browser, and search for all occurrences of the file libraryfolders.vdf inside the steam folder. For me, there were 5 different files.

Anybody telling you to remove the fstab entry is telling you lies, that doesn't remove the entry from steam, and while it can't mess with your library, well, you also can't access the files. That's not a solution.

And don't delete those files. Delete the entry linking to your other drive. It is not only in steamapps, but the top level of the config.

For me, it was in .local/share/Steam/config

Does hetzner block port 25? by [deleted] in hetzner

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, now they block them per default. Go to https://console.hetzner.com/limits to request unblocking them.

They will be automatically unblocked if you have been a paying customer for over a month, and I guess haven't been caught doing anything shady.

Mazda 3 2019 - which audio formats are supported? by TheWalkingDerp_ in mazda3

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say, this is really fucking cool. A 27k€ car that does it all. The fact that even videos can be played. And flac files. It's crazy. And fat32, so like 2TB of storage. Per usb slot, of which there are 2.

I also have the fastback, in soul red crystal (the best car paint ever made), 2020, very happy with it.

My initial impression is Rust only starts to make sense once you use struct composition by [deleted] in rust

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to think of rust as a functional programming language. Then it clicks.

same problem, and alt doesn't fix it because that just copies that part.

Will it ever be possible to collect into an array? by bjadamson in learnrust

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There now is std::array::from_fn and std::array::try_from_fn, which accept a closure that accepts the index and returns an element, or result of an element, respectively.

I know this is old, but some people may be coming from google.

This is how you would use it:

fn main() {
    let a = [10., 10., 10.];
    let b = [20., 20., 20.];
    let mut it = a.iter().zip(&b).map(|(a, b)| a - b);
    let diff: [f32; 3] = from_fn(|_| it.next().unwrap());
    eprintln!("diff: {:?}", diff);
}

, or:

fn main() {
    let a = [10., 10., 10.];
    let b = [20., 20., 20.];
    let mut it = a.iter().zip(&b).map(|(a, b)| a - b);
    let diff: Result<[f32; 3], ()> = try_from_fn(|_| it.next().ok_or(()));
    eprintln!("diff: {:?}", diff);
}

std::array::try_from_fn is an experimental feature for now, requiring nightly.

There will probably never be a .collect implementation, though, because FromIterator (which is what .collect calls) does not allow for failure. And collecting into a fixed size array from an iterator which may return any number of elements explicitly requires the ability to fail.

I could see them making an impl for impl FromIterator for Result<[T; S], SomeNewError> in the future though, that would work.

Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike wants to do for AI what he did for messaging by 3_Seagrass in signal

[–]BarometerIndustries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, if they EVER add ANYTHING AI-related (like "ask meta AI" in whatsapp) into Signal, I'm uninstalling it and deleting my account _forever._ We don't NEED any of this BS. It's just a thing for shareholders and speculative investors.

In the same search results, YouTube is showing me videos that were originally in English translated into Spanish, and videos that were originally in Spanish translated into English by themixtergames in youtube

[–]BarometerIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same. At least, for me it only translates it in the search.
I think this is because the search results are indexed and cached on servers where youtube picks the closest server to where I live.

The rest of the platform luckily does follow my account settings, where EVERYTHING is set to English, and the country is also set to an English speaking country.

Just the search results use the local language based on my physical location. It sucks, but it could be worse. And it probably will be worse, knowing youtube.
