I normally would, but my wife has the same problem and she's done that 3 times in the last 6 months. In fact, her problem became MUCH worse because the "clean slate" was far more impressionable. She'd search up beauty routines, only to find that Youtube thinks she now wants to see "popping" videos, even though she's now searching for dinner recipes.

So yeah, I saw her experience and decided "no thanks".

To be fair, MOST of YouTube I watched can be found on Nebula and Floatplane, both of which will likely not have this issue since it's not a user-content platform. Not to mention, the creators likely make more from those platforms anyways.

YouTube is basically unavoidable though, so now I just view everything through a piped instance if I absolutely need something that can only be found there.

With today's announcement, I'm super happy you did this 4 days ago. Time to make a few clones myself.

Also appears to break Wi-Fi.

Qobuz is unfortunately the only HiFi service worth anything ever since Tidal went with the MQA sham.

But yeah, purchasing music is overly complicated by the use of 2 distinct applications one to stream, the other to buy.

Not to mention that I'm outright insulted by how little care they put into organizing their library so that duplicate artist names don't result in a single chimera artist where you need to sift through the non-related artist stuff yourself.

What they did to VAST is a damn shame... Tried reporting it multiple times now via email and support tickets, but those assholes don't care.

Lucky! I wish I had symmetrical fiber with all the ports available.

I totally have a server capable of hosting a LOT of things but lack the upload to make use of it. I'm considering transferring to a rack mount and sending it to be colocated at a datacenter within driving distance.

And I apologize in return for the rather harsh way I came across. The common (and frutrating) nature of your comment didn't deserve the terseness of my response.

See: every AAA big game releases lately. Even on Windows, having to nuke your graphics drivers and install a specific version from some random forum is generally accepted as fine like it’s just how PC gaming is.

Never had to do that since I was ROM hacking an old RX480 for Monero hashrates. In fact, on my Windows 11 partition (Used for HDR gaming which isn't supported on Linux yet), I haven't needed to perform a reinstall of the NVIDIA driver even when converting from a QEMU image to a full-fat install.

When I see those threads, it often comes across as a bunch of gamers just guessing at a potential solution and often become "right" for the "wrong" reasons. Especially when the result is some convoluted combination of installs and uninstalls with "wiping directories and registry keys".

But, point taken, the lengths gamers will go to to get an extra 1-2 FPS even if it's unproven, dangerous, and dumb is almost legendary.

Our database is actually pretty graceful. It just goes into stop writes status. You can still read any data and resolving the situation is as easy as scaling the cluster or removing old records. By no means is the database down or inoperable.

Essentially our database is working as designed. If we rate limited it further then we have less of a product to sell. The main feature we sell of our database technology is its IOPS and resiliency.

Further, this is just for a specific customer, it has no impact to any other customers or any sort of central orchestration. Generally speaking the stop writes status only ever impacts a single customer and their associated applications.

Also, customers can be very stingy with the clusters they are willing to buy. We actually are on poor terms of the couple of our customers who just refuse to scale and just expect us to magic their cluster into accepting more data than its sized for.

I knew from the thumbnail that this is Virtue by Overwerk. Excellent track!

Kind of a trip seeing a TucsonSentinel article in the broader Fediverse! Lol.

This article is an oldie but a goodie.

I forget, do the pathfinder games use v1 or v2? V1 was basically D&D 3.5 in most ways.

Either way, if you haven't played it, you should put Pathfinder Kingmaker on deck for after BG3

Thanks friend! I appreciate you seeing that I wasn't soo much complaining about my health or quality of sleep, but my inability to get out of lucid dreaming.
