Warning: shameless plug ahead Self-hosting doesn’t mean you have to buy hardware. After a few years, low-end machines are borderline unusable with Windows, but they are still plenty strong for a Linux server. It’s quite likely you or a frie

I should have used different words. I wouldn’t care much about using yt-dlp, as I barely use Google and would survive an account ban. Other family members _in the same household_ could be immensely more affected by my actions.

Any TLDR on how actually use it, from the plugin developer perspective? I was immediately put off by having to run a WP plugin just to obtain a “did”, and having to run WP to host the repository is also far from ideal. I wish this was an ev

Haven’t you seen people getting their Google accounts banned out of the blue? Haven’t you seen the great lengths that YouTube goes (in terms of content control) to please its advertisers? Haven’t you seen the cat-and-mouse fight between You

I can control my own digital life, but I don’t have the resources to do the same for every family member. An old age family member owning Android devices for a decade is virtually impossible to untangle from Google.

If this issue was related to infringing US law, specifically, region-locking out of the US would have been a fair and sane approach. YouTube has the tools for it.

I don’t downvote, but: > It is illegal to break the encryption of DVDs and BluRays Laws have limited jurisdiction. There are quite a few jurisdictions that allow ripping for personal use/not-for-profit.

It will become harder to ignore the possible retaliation Google can make against your/your family’s Google accounts.

They are talking about the standard “Download zip”, which can also be done for commits individually. They aren’t precomputed, which causes the load.

Personal choices. I want to selfhost all my stuff, and avoid relying on GitHub, and also having some codebases not being used in AI training. I achieve the latter by not having my forge public, so I don’t have much of a dog in this fight. I

Offtopic, but huge respect for this[1]: > Lots of people don’t want to read about AI. > I respect that. > But I’m currently steeped in the world of AI, for better or for worse, and I want to blog about it. So I’ve split this blog i

I did not know you could essentially change functionality in other apps. How does that work tectonically? Do you need a specific entitlement?

Anecdata for selfhosters: I got a one-liter PC recently, with an i7 6th gen, and it consumes about 5W of power at idle. Just running k3s, with no workloads and controlled for other variables, bumps the consumption to 7W. Benchmark it yourse

I also donate to Composer, PHPStan and PHPUnit. Those tools have been instrumental for the high quality of the PHP ecosystem.

All of that can be custom for the industry, the same way air travel has had custom rules in credit card processing since forever.

I can’t claim I’m the first one to think about this, but every time Ticketmaster shows up on HN I keep coming back to this idea: Sell the tickets with regressive price based on time. Sales starts say 2 months before event, initial price is

I really don’t understand why some societies rely so much on Meta services, specially considering they are SO MUCH WORSE to administer, specially for a non-tech user, compared to creating a website in Wix (or even a free Wordpress.com accou

I think that depends on the ratio between detected and undetected fraud. Some fraud will only be detected once they find no one to pay for loans, or when the person being collected has go thru an insurmountable bureaucracy to prove they nev

I look at the hiring threads regularly and there is a significant portion of jobs here that repeat forever. If in this economy a company is 6 months into the resume-acquisition phase for a Fullstack position, they are not hiring.

Google decided to make it worse than it needed. Those EU regulations are only applicable if your app makes money via IAP or subscriptions. If you are providing a free app, nothing changed, but Google decided that everyone must follow it. Th

I’ve read through the comments here, and something most people here don’t get is the importance of App Stores for discoverability. The first thing non-developers think when you tell them “download xyz app” is to open the App/Play Store

I think it’s a bit charitable to assume that something published under an official Microsoft public channel wouldn’t have some sort of legal review, at least for the initial publication.

They should absolutely do it. They made a serious mistake and should pay for it, even if that means every Microsoft developer having to rebase all their WIP branches. The more expensive it gets the more they’ll pay attention to those things

PSA: Amperfy works well with Navidrome if you need CarPlay with offline syncing. It is a bit rough in the edges, though.

The Mac Mini M4 can draw as little as 3W during video playback via HDMI, but all your energy savings will be offset by the price of storage. There are plenty of old laptops that would be a great replacement, mine draws 8W at idle with 2x2TB
