Oh what an existence oh what a peaceful life

Ive got a lot of downloaded YouTube videos. I used to play them through Plex back when I ran that, but once I switched to Jellyfin there wasn't a good way to set them up at all. So I was super excited when I found TubeArchivist. All the posts I saw on it seemed to be positive, so I set it up yesterday in Docker.

It seemed to work alright at first, but it took a really long time for the server to start up once I started running the containers. I'm also running Navisphere, Jellyfin, Kiwix, and a Tor snowflake node, which all booted up instantly, but this took 5-10 minutes to be accessible. It also took like twice the Docker resources of all my other containers just to run.

Doing anything in it was super slow too. Logging in was unresponsive, took a couple minutes to load. There was no feedback either so I thought it was just frozen. I had all my videos I had downloaded previously, so I tried importing them and that just brought my system to a complete crawl. It maxed out Dockers allocated resources, even exceeding the CPU allocation. It also caused Docker to crash twice.

Does anyone have any experience with this program? Did I do something wrong in my docker-compose file (I just modified the example in the github repository) or is the program just super poorly optimized? I've been able to run all the other containers on my system just fine. It has a lot of the same functionality as Jellyfin, which does not do this kind of crap. I was so excited but its been a huge letdown. Any thoughts?

So I have some services and wireguard running locally on a "home" network. I also have wireguard, a DNS resolver, and a reverse proxy set up on a remote server. Since I don't want to expose the home IP to the public, to access my services I connect to the VPN on the remote, which then forwards my request home. But this means that when I'm at home, connecting to my local services requires going out to the remote. Is there some way to have the traffic go over the switch when at home, but go over wireguard when away, without having to manually switch the VPN on/off?

I could move the DNS resolver (which handles the internal names for the services) from the remote to the home server. But then similarly every DNS request will need to go through both the remote and home servers, doubling the hops. I'd like to use my own DNS server at all times though, both at and away from home. Which tradeoff seems better?

edit: thanks for all the suggestions, I'll look into some of these solutions and see what works best

Lawyers for a now-20-year-old woman are arguing that addictive features harmed her mental health in opening statements in a landmark trial against Meta and YouTube, the first of hundreds of similar cases to go to trial.

The plaintiff — identified by her first name, Kaley, or her initials, KGM — and her mother accused the tech companies of intentionally creating addictive platforms that caused her to develop anxiety, body dysmorphia and suicidal thoughts. Lawyers for Meta and YouTube have indicated they will argue that a difficult family life, not social media, was responsible for her mental health challenges.

Speaking on Monday in front of a jury in state court in Los Angeles, Kaley’s lawyer Mark Lanier called social media apps like YouTube and Instagram “digital casinos,” saying the app’s “endless scroll feature” creates dopamine hits that can lead to addiction.

in papers such as these the conclusion is that multi-tasking lowers mental health (lowers working memory & ability to filter out impressions while increasing distractability & stress.)

the opposite is monasticism... i'm reminded of putting in a CD into a videogame console... gotta remove it to play another game or to watch a movie... no tab-switching there.

is there a strict line between multi-tasking and monasticism?

like me waiting a certain time after writing this post before going onto watching the youtube video i just paused...

Members of the previously unknown neo-Nazi group called National Front Fædreland are making plans to take over power in Denmark, purchasing weapons and committing murders, while sharing a steady stream of Nazi propaganda and hateful messages, images and videos.

"They express a desire to take over power in Denmark. In one of their videos they say: 'Look at Mussolini and Hitler, they were ridiculed in the beginning, they had no power, but then they took it.' They then use that to say, 'look, we can also take over power, even if we are ridiculed,'" he adds.

In other messages, one member of the group mentions, among other things, that he wants to purchase weapons, while another expresses a desire to kill immigrants and homosexuals, and he also tries to get the other members to kill a specific Danish-African woman.

Another member requests videos from the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in Australia last year because he would like to see Jews shot and killed, while a third says he was allegedly arrested by PET for allegedly planning an assassination.

Last month, Trump signed an executive order – labelling Cuba a threat to national security – imposing tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to the island nation. Further pressure on the Mexican government reportedly led to oil stocks reaching a record low in Cuba.

A US oil blockade is causing a severe energy crisis in Cuba, as the government has been forced to ration fuel and cut electricity for many hours a day, paralysing life in the communist-ruled island nation of 11 million.

Bus stops are empty, and families are turning to wood and coal for cooking, living through near-constant power outages amid an economic crisis worsened by the Trump administration’s steps in recent weeks.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel has imposed harsh emergency restrictions – from reduced office hours to fuel sales – in the backdrop of looming threats of regime change from the White House.

The Caribbean region has been on edge since the US forces abducted Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro last month and upped the pressure to isolate Havana and strangle its economy. Venezuela, Cuba’s closest ally in the region, provided the country with the much-needed fuel.

Okay here is the thing. I have a garmin forerunner which i love for i can read the screen without my reading glasses. I use it for running and cycling. I pull the data directly from it on my debian desktop and upload gpxfiles. A huawei band9 is used for swimming.

For privacy, and as part of usa ban and leaving big tech wanna leave garmin and strava preferably after data export. User friendly and ease of use play hardly a role.

Any recomandations for self hosted solutions? It looks especially hard to avoid strava to get my swim data from the huawei app exported. Buying new device('s) isn't on top of the list but not out of the question.

When the DeSantis administration swiftly built Alligator Alcatraz last summer, it said the federal government would foot the bill for the state’s Everglades immigration detention camp. But the Trump administration may now be reconsidering that commitment, signaling in court that Florida taxpayers could be on the hook for the cost of the facility’s construction

In a court filing on Tuesday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, lawyers with the Department of Justice said the Federal Emergency Management Agency had not yet decided whether to reimburse the state.

In Hunan Province, central China, a warm start to the day is becoming part of everyday wellbeing. Public services are being extended into daily life through practical, people-centered initiatives. Across several cities and counties, community breakfast support programs provide free or low-cost morning meals for sanitation workers, delivery riders, and elderly people living alone.

In Changsha county of Changsha city, delivery workers can pick up a hot breakfast before starting long shifts. In Xinhuang county of Huaihua city, free breakfast services for sanitation workers have become a regular part of community support. These small-scale but steady services help ease daily pressures and reflect a more caring approach to urban governance.

By turning simple needs into accessible public services, Hunan is making everyday wellbeing more visible and more reachable. (Photos via VCG)

Canada-based Windscribe, a VPN provider, just said that one of its European servers has been allegedly seized by Dutch authorities without a warrant.

According to the company’s post on X, law enforcement said that they will return it to the service provider after they “fully analyze it.”

It’s unclear why law enforcement impounded just a single rack from Windscribe’s cabinet, but the VPN provider said that it only uses RAM disk servers, meaning anyone who would look through the installed SSDs would only find a stock Ubuntu install on it, so the servers shouldn't hold any trackable data.
