  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • sga sga Now 100%

    For those who are want something similar to invidious, you can try youtube-local (not my project, I am just a user). It is a minimal python youtube client, and functions similar to other frontends, but runs locally. You lose some amount of privacy (youtube still has a general idea of who is watching with IPs), but it is not very exact, and there is an option to use tor to get the content. You can also enable sponsorblock, or hide yt-shorts.

  • if this post gets 243 upvotes i will post again with 3 times as many triangles
  • sga sga Now 100%

    well I never said that it would hit those targets, at this point I must say, I am more of applied physicist kind, so I mostly look at application rather than correctness. Plus my point was kinda applicable, the growth rate is decreasing (hit 243 in 9 hours, and then only git 70 more in next few hours, although that may also be because when the target is met, people start losing interest, but 81 is an exception) and hence the death.

    Also, I did not really understand the bench reference, Is it a compliment? as in you consider me a worthy person you would happen to pass by on that bench, or is it me sticking with my idea

    i never questioned it hitting, I was making some educated guesses about when can we expect that, previous post (81) got about 240 votes in 20ish hours, so i was expecting 243 to also take about same time. But there are some more things, people lose interest, all things have somewhat bell shaped curve, more like weighted bell shape, something like (polynomial)*(exponential with negative power), so most things eventually decay.

    And the stats that I see in the sidebar

    691 users / day
    1.82K users / week
    1.82K users / month
    2.98K users / 6 months
    1.16K subscribers

    from this I was making guesses, like 243 onwards, targets would not be met in a day, and for next tripling we get more into 3-4 day territory (assuming 691 users has about 200 new users), and by next cycle, we are limited (practically) by subscribers in this lemmy instance (1.16k is about half 2.2k) if we have 2 more cycles, we are practically limited by number of mathematically inclined people on lemmy, then we see it practically die

    A sad ending

    This is the point where we start hitting the daily limits, in 2 more cycles, maybe limits of lemmy instance, and in another 2, limits of lemmy

  • To people who choose not to swear (for non-religious reasons), what is your motivation to be that way ?
  • sga sga Now 100%

    I do not publicly swear, I live in a place where practically everyone does, I am young, all my friends do, but I don't, mostly, because I like to be soft-spoken. I have publicly swore maybe less than 5 times (even these are when I am very angry, someone swore, and I just repeat how can you say ***). Plus this elevates even the impact of me saying something like "stupid person" (in my native language) as if I swore. I do swore in my mind, mostly from having it as a part of my vocabulary (I do know how to swear (pretty good) in 3 languages, and a bit in 3 more), but I maintain good filters, and just helps me do natural conversations, so I dont have to think of my statements when I say it in front of my friends, or elderly

  • What Linux distro surprised you the most?
  • sga sga Now 100%

    there is one more thing - unless you are using something like chaotic aur, or a very popular package, please pay attention to PKGBUILDS. These are essentially bash scripts which can (depending on your package manager) will run with highest permissions. They can do anything

  • sga sga Now 100%

    I second this - for some reasons, my (almost) first distro was arch (first was a fedora for 3-4 days). Arch is great if you know what you are doing, you can have a lean mean compute machine

  • Looking for advice on PC build for programming
  • sga sga Now 100%

    I have a question, what are you exactly seeking to repair?, like if you have a good working laptop, and if it gives good performance, then there may not be much need of repairing. One of the reasons for getting repairable hardware is that they last long, like I have laptops which are 13 and 7 years old, and they both "work", batteries are dead, and replacements are not good, but other than that fine machines. If your laptop is not very flimsy, you may not even need an upgrade for a long time.

    well even a raspberry pi would be enough, except for ML

    depending on what exactly in ML, and what our the sizes of datasets involved?, like i did some work, but for me 8 GiB RAM was enough, but if you want to do larger databases, you would need somewhat good GPU (essentially large matrix multipliers) with plenty of VRAM

  • Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative?
  • sga sga Now 100%

    Is there any way i can host the whatsapp bridge but not the matrix instance itself, or something simpler. Even then, it does not really make my situation better. It would be adding one more layer between me and whatsapp, but not much more. As I understand, bridges help when you have multiple platforms, and you want to have one way to access them all, for me, only benefit would be the client would be free

    I personally do not use them anything else now, i do have element installed, but when you have no one to talk to, you might as well write messages in a notepad

    Whatsapp. I know signal, simplex, matrix, (a billion other things), etc exist that are much better, but where I live, no one uses them, for context, basically everyone, like if you have a phone, you use whatsapp, some government things even happen through whatsapp bots, when people say the word message here, they mean whatsapp. There are about 20-30% (among younger folks) who use telegram, but that is mostly for easier piracy, and larger file sharing (before whatsapp allowed 2 GiB, now they do it habitually). My mom has about a 1000 contacts, and less than 10 of them actually use signal (there are many more who signed up(there was another thing, basically when elon said "just use signal"))

    At this point it is not worth getting everyone to switch, the best i have done, is just reducing the number people i communicate with (on whatsapp), and try to just meet in person

  • What do you love about Lemmy, compared to Reddit?
  • sga sga Now 100%

    I disagree, gently, i like chains, they are fun, and sometimes creative, even the ones i know (like rick roll), maybe this gives a kick to my slightly troll-y side, sense it is harmless and fun (at least for me, fun is subjective). I even liked the thanks for gold, it is not like the gold means anything, it just makes the community feel more live

    this is a lot more believable for 2 reasons - I have seen them (not in person, but you get the point), and they have this base, in which all the tiffins(lunchboxes) are kept, so all this essentially acts as a very large single body, unlike noodle carrier, who had them all in a vertical - stacked setup, with the dabbawala setup, the center of gravity is much easier to be aligned across their head, but with noodle guy, that is genuinely hard, even balancing one long stick that way would be hard, it would just tip over, although in motion it would be comparatively more stabler

    This is an article I wrote. Sorry mods if it is not allowed I checked the sidebar rules, and closest was no ads, and I do not know if this qualifies for that (I do not have ads or analytics on the page) Edit - Thanks to [@utopiah@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.world/u/utopiah@lemmy.ml) for recommendations. I have now Included an image and a video demo of using the script, and also got syntax highlighting https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html Edit 2 - I have chnaged my keys for password, so dont worry about that, and about low quality and stuttering video playback, that was just network being poor at that time, also i forgot to give a demo of calculator and web searching, forgive me for that, and if you want, instead of term-dmenu, you can use fzf directly, and you would not leave terminal
