If you are willing to follow the self-hosted route metube is a browser based converter and has yt-dlp as backend :) easy to use (once you get everything setup !).
No scam, virus issues, can even download a whole playlist, video...
imo a monorepo is better for retrieving information than if you split it out. Forgejo search does not work across repos, and imo even if you used a provider that does, it is always more complex to have to look in many places vs 1. I would advise you try putting all your personal scripts in one place rather than spread them around. I only give my apps a seperate repo when i am ready to share them with others and i need that clear boundary for access.
Thanks for the tip ! Yeah, there goes my idea to host forgejo to the drain. If I can't search across repos that's a big NO ! I thought to use repos like a book and separate everything according specific subjects :/. Humm, maybe I should give Git-server + mdBook a try like someone suggested below.
I keep a note called _focus that i go to when i am overwhelmed. It contains my “seven W’s”, which are links to separate notes which are purposefully kept simple.
Haha, that's a nice way to refocus your mind on what's important ! Thanks for sharing your personal way to refocus on what's important ! 💖
I have already tried most if not all alternatives proposed by alternativeto.net. Joplin and logseq are both great but they have some limitations that breaks my workflow.
Hmm, I don’t have experience with hosting Forgejo, but my intuition tells me that because it has relatively many features, that its administration is more involved than if you only host a Git Server.
Yeah that's what I'm afraid of... The maintenance seems a bit complex and it seems to be solved with a hosted git server :) Seems promising I will give it a try !
Thank you :) I have hidden my post In case someone was already writing something. I will delete it after a few hours and I've already posted it back to PKMS. Sorry I didn't used PKMS as keyword :/.
To answer your question... Yeah I suppose analog note-taking is probably the best, You can write without any limitation in every direction !
Yeah :) I recently switched to a private tracker and qbittorrent was way to much cluttered with public trackers.
If you are on different private trackers and try to keep it clean and easier to find what torrent belongs to what private tracker, its better ton only have those tracker in your list.
Oho? Didn't knew that. Thanks for the info ! Do you know what caused the residential IP block ?
Outside of EU?
To much API calls from the same source?
Something else?
I mean, I don't see way they would block residential IPs with normal api calls from the same source. Or are they full enforcing the account thing on everyone?
Self-hosted piped/invidious still working great if you want to follow this route. Everything from no-ads/sponsor block/comments works without any issues.
One downside however, is that you're exposing your own public IP to Google/YouTube :/.
That's exactly how I feel... I see my parents being addicted to YouTube shorts/amazon/TEMU... And it makes me really sad to see them in that addiction state :(.
Those things should be illegal...
Clearly this ban isn’t about that, it’s about a Chinese government doing something that the US government only wants US companies to be able to do.
The only thing I'd recommend against are pre-built NASes. Theyre proprietary AF and so overpriced for what you get if you don't need the handholding of the consumer NAS software.
The moment people realize a NAS is just a small factor desktop with a lot of space with good Ethernet speed, their eyes widen up the same way people realized the cloud is just someone else's computer.
What do you mean by showstopper? I only encode my shows into AV1/opus and I never had any transcoding happening on any of my devices.
It's well supported on any recent Browser compared to x264/x265... specially 10bit encodes. And software decoding is nearly present on any recent device.
Dunno about 4k though, I haven't the necessary screen resolution to play any 4k content... But for 1080p, AV1 is the way to go IMO.
Free open/source
Any browser supported
Better compression
Same objective quality with lower bitrate
A lot of cool open source project arround AV1
It has it's own quirks for sure (like every codec) but it's far from a bad codec. I'm not a specialist on the subject but after a few months of testing/comparing/encoding... I settled with AV1 because it was comparative better than x264/x265.
Dunno how good their strike went and/or/if their actions had any effect on stack* and derivatives...
I just hope there will be some open source replacement maybe with federation? Dunno, I'm not a contributor but stack* most of the time solved my questions I had and I will probably miss the human interaction :/.
Tempo is soo good !
