I use Firefox to look up a video, then I use yt-dlp to download or mpv to stream it, when I attempt to use FF to look another video up it's giving me this, so this is what I see 99% of time when I follow a link to YT nowadays.
All in all, I think it allows me to watch or download a video a day normally 😅
I HAVE TO rely on VPN to access it though and some of the exit nodes I use are known offenders on several list — that could be the source of the problem.

Are they going to attach five more dicks to the parts of your body where one least expects them? 😆

(Just kidding, it probably has something to do with the pain you've mentioned earlier. Good luck, man!)

With Gentoo I had to do spend the whole day on it every week — just
fixing build breakages, that is why I'm never going back to Gentoo ever
again.
And NixOS… It does not appear that it shines in this regard.
Also… systemd. With Void I can do "ps ax" and tell you what each of the processes does almost at any given time, this is never the case with systemd-based distros where something's always happening behind your back 😩

@dwaltiz @newt
That is actually what inspired me to bring up a post from two (or more?) days ago: https://www.dgt.is/blog/2025-01-10-nix-death-by-a-thousand-cuts/
NixOS doesn't look like a low-maintenance distro. It's fine when you only have a computer or two, but when you have more and they have vastly different roles… I hate updating and I love customisation, with Void I have to spend a few hours a month on building the few packages I want a bit different than what Void is giving me…

@kravietz
Well, this time they have made an attempt to present it… in a more neutral light. I'll give them credit for that!
I mean, at least he's not on his knees… 😅

@kravietz
At this point it's hard to even tell what is dumber: going to war in Ukraine, believing that you're somehow doing it "for Russians", or playing the friendship of the peoples with Kadyrovites, especially considering things like this: https://theins.ru/news/277906
I hope both sides… eat each other alive 😈

Not in 2000s, it wasn't. Relying on Qt as your GUI framework was not the status quo, more like a bold move, but in terms of being cross-platform it was a good choice even at the time.

@mischievoustomato
I don't have anything against GStreamer per se, I think that this "batteries included" approach is problematic — I think it will make GTK4 a lot like Qt, both in good and bad ways 🤷

@newt
Tell me more about those… non-garbage distros 🤔

ГРУбо 😂
Действительно странно, учитывая, что nmap позволяет настроить и тайминги, и порядок сканирования портов сделать случайным. Больше похоже на ошибку, допущенную по неосторожности.

Or bottle.py — the single file web framework I use for my cmus web remote control — it made switching to Python 3.13 in which they have deprecated the cgi module, which was in the standard library since the early days, less painful.

@thatguyoverthere

True, but there are really good ones — the ones that do not what you could do with a one-liner, but provide adequate level of abstraction over complex things, like above-mentioned requests…

@thatguyoverthere
Just like you, I respect other opinions, using Perl for one-off thingies — that is perfectly fine, but I will never approve of using it for anything bigger — never again! 😂
And I agree, Python gets overused a lot, it gets used where it's not appropriate, its performance is inadequate in some of these use cases, but as a scripting language? It's a good one — better than most alternatives.

@thatguyoverthere
Needless to say, we all switched to the Python implementation eventually 😅
Yes, there are other ways to fix it, enforced Code-discipline, code reviews… But I've seen it with my own eyes: when time presses, commits get pushed no matter what, just because right now the code does what it has to do. So for me it's Python since then.

@thatguyoverthere
My experiences are the opposite of yours: I've seen originally neat code base in Perl turn into a disgusting mess over mere weeks when being worked on by a medium-sized team under a time constraint. At the same time a smaller team have expanded s much less capable framework that was originally in Python, so that it almost reached function parity. And their code did NOT turn into abominable shite. This was partly thanks to the enforced use of whitespace.

@newt
AFAIK its status varies from country to country. Here codeine-based painkillers are just banned since late 2000s — at least I don't see them widely available anymore — prescription or not, hospitals probably still have them in one form or the other.
But I do have a drug store nearby where you can get prescription drugs without one — at a small premium 😏

@newt
And opioids do? 😲
I thought you just get the shit from THAT drugstore like everything else 😏
