Hey, it's been a while but I wanted to give you a heads up that CastSponsorSkip will now skip YouTube ads when possible! Not all ads can be skipped, but it will mute them, and then skip them the second the "Skip" button appears.

Hey! I love the post and the ASCII theme of your site. I just want to say, thanks for all of the work you did on sponsorblockcast. It was a great tool that I happily used for a long time.

Thank you!

I haven't tested on Windows yet, but releases have Windows downloads! Did you get an error when you ran it?

I love sponsorblockcast, but I had the same exact issue. In my case, sponsorblockcast usually uses 10% CPU, but would sometimes start using more and more. I've been testing CastSponsorSkip pretty thoroughly and haven't been able to get it to spike above 1-2% CPU yet!

Thank you! I have to admit, it's really satisfying seeing sponsored segments get skipped. Would definitely recommend!

Hi everyone! I've been using sponsorblockcast for a while (which is a great project), but I always wished it was written in Go. The go-chromecast library that it uses is written in Go, so a Go app could connect to all devices within a single process instead of creating child processes for every device. I finally decided to spend some time writing my own, called CastSponsorSkip. All of the features of sponsorblockcast are re-implemented in Go, plus some additional privacy features. I wrote a comparison if anybody is curious!

That's just the default, and I assume it's mainly to make it easier for new users to start using Lemmy. It lets you change to any other instance during login.

+1 for Authentik! It definitely has a steep learning curve, but once you get comfortable with it, it's really versatile. The integration docs have tons of walkthroughs for setting up Authentik with different apps which is epecially helpful when getting started.

You're welcome!

[-] gabe565@lemmy.cook.gg 2 points 1 year ago

You're welcome! Makes sense. They're somehow so similar yet so different lol

The activity table is also used to deduplicate incoming federation data, so instead of truncating it, I'd suggest deleting rows after a certain amount of time.

For my personal instance, I set up a cron to delete entries older than 3 days, and my db is only ~500MB with a few weeks of content! I also haven't seen any duplicated posts or comments. Even with Lemmy's retries, 3 days seems to be long enough before dropping rows from that table.

That whole room is amazing. I used that pic as a Zoom background for a while lol

That's awesome! I love his Helm chart. It's the most impressive Helm library I've ever seen. I maintain a bunch of charts and I exclusively use his library chart :)

I just mentioned in a response to @seang96@exploding-heads.com, but I feel like deploying a separate nginx is probably cleaner, I just didn't want another SPOF that I could break at some point in the future.
