    A PSA for you is that the original setup for local invidious is not really worth it at this time. You gotta rotate IP to avoid youtube blocking it, you need to use IPv6, and you have to constantly refresh PO tokens. All of this happens with separate programs so it’s clunky and can’t keep up with youtube’s rate of blocking things, unless you setup some kind of frequent cron jobs, but at the cost of bringing the service down frequently which is not worth it.

    For my instance I use the companion setup. It takes care of rotating PO token by detecting when it needs to. It’s also way more robust, based on very well maintained youtube.js project.

    Another change I made is routing the invidious connections through VPN. That keeps my real IP safe from getting blocked, and I do remember this setup rotates the VPN server when blocked. I’ll share my compose file in a bit, been using it with almost no issue for almost a year.

  • Lmfao why do people value the opinion of this idiot so fucking much. People sort of take him to be an authority of video games in general

    He’s been working on an rpg-maker tier game for a literal decade, and it’s a barely a half cooked mess, like 2-3 hours of unfinished gameplay.

    I think anyone can now ask an AI to produce a game like this and it’ll be actually better. Yet he parades around as an industry expert, saying at every chance that he “worked at blizzard!!1!”

    It’s laughable how anyone cares what he has to say…


  • I downvoted it.

    For starters I’ve seen this exact post a few times over the past 3 months in this community.

    Secondly, the comments go exactly the same in these threads:

    1. “linux can do everything, no faults at all, windows sucks”
    2. “but I use windows for x and y and linux can’t do it”
    3. “how dare you insult linux, you should not be doing x and y, just do it with this app (which is completely inferior)”

    Next, windows does everything I want it to do, I disabled and uninstalled everything I didn’t want easily through settings & group policy, and it hasn’t bothered me since.





  • I don’t recommend it. I ran local AI in my phone before (iPhone but same difference), and just asking it stuff makes it warm up to touch. Battery also takes a hit.

    It also messes up multitasking features since it uses up most memory which kills background apps. Phones weren’t designed for this.

    Best way is to host it in an actual dedicated machine that can be accessed remotely.


  • I ended up choosing this one, since it’s small and it helps spread the user load around.

    Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.

    I also decided to nuke my account, unfortunately when lemm.ee shuts down this implies users will lose control over the content saved on other instances without ability to remove it.

    If you nuke it now the deletion will still sync through fediverse.
