I’ve only been forced to watch YouTube with ads a few times this past year… Alcohol and gambling ads were very, very common. It’s unethical to show them, and I don’t feel bad about blocking them.

He shouldn’t have referred to it as “blocking ads.”
Instead, say that you’ll be explaining how to “preserve privacy” or “uncluttered the viewing experience”, and it would be totally up to interpretation and assumption that he’s actually talking about blocking ads.
I went through the same dilemma. The old Synology photo software had a duplicate finder, but they removed that feature with the “new” version. But even with the duplicate finder, it wasn’t very powerful and offered no adjustability.
In the end, I ended up paying for a program called “Excire Foto”, which can pull images from my NAS, and can not only find duplicates in a customized and accurate way. It also has a localAI search that bests even Google Photos.
It runs from windows, saves its own database, and can be used as read-only, if you only want to make use of the search feature.
To me, it was worth the investment.
Side note: if I only had <50,000 photos, then I’d probably find a free/cheaper way to do it. At the time, I had over 150,000 images, going back to when the first digital cameras were available + hundreds of scanned negatives and traditional (film) photos, so I really didn’t want to spend weeks sorting it all out!
Oh, the software can even tag your photos for subjects so that it’s baked into the EXIF data (so other programs can make use of it).
The batteries should not degrade that fast.
For real!
I use several refurbished APC UPS’, and also use third-party batteries (from the company that refurbishes the UPS’) and it’s been trouble-free for like 10 years. I replace batteries, it seems, every 4-5 years and only when the self-test says to replace it.
Never had a problem with data loss due to the UPS failure.
But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.
Can you confirm that there are no spaces before or after the key on the client end? Sometimes, copy and pasting can add extra spaces that cause invalid passwords, etc.
I’m not having issues running my self-hosted Rustdesk (docker) externally, but I can’t offer much more than that :(
Yeah, the weird filenames bothers me, too. It does take a hit to data portability, for sure. I’m not using it for some kind of long-term, bomb-proof YouTube archiving, but more to have offline access to instructional videos I might need in the near future. For that, the UI and integration with Jellyfin works well for me.
If I was actually collecting youtube videos, I would go with something else that generates human-friendly folders and filenames! I’ll bookmark Tubesync :)
I’m using Tube Archivist. Works great, too.
“Made simple”, but it’s all command prompt with no UI 🙂
Not knocking it, as I’m sure it works great, but these things end up being a huge barrier to adoption and use by the regular people who might be “self-hosted curious”.
I will try, but on a whim I just created a new user in linkwarden and that seems to be generating my selected profiles. I’ll wait until I can try 2.7.x before I gather data for a report.
Looking forward to this new build. Since the last update, none of my links generate Preserved Formats, which makes the service useless. Hopefully, this is fixed.
How does one actually enable Full Page Copy? I don’t see any specific options to enable it in the preserved formats, and I tested two captures, and none had captured the page in HTML.
Using it via docker, if that makes a difference. Confirmed that v2.6 is being used.
Are there any extensions that are causing issues?
Very doubtful, as I’ve tried this on vanilla installations of various browsers.
Anything in the browser console?
Now that I check, I do see some DOM exception errors in the console, which seems to happen when the UI freezes.
The errors come up after I’m able to interact with the UI (video remains playing throughout):
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user’s request.
This might be the first place I should look to find a solution.
Yeah, I think it really could have just been that. I had issues with titles looking OK, but the descriptions were gibberish. It made it impossible to really use. Then it suddenly worked, and it’s been fine ever since. LOL
I wonder what heck is going on, then.
I’ve used multiple computers with FF, and it happens on all of them. Granted, this problem happens no matter what browser I use, so I know it’s not a FF problem.
Which browser?
And do you usually just set the video to play and leave it, or are you pausing a lot?
If I just play a video, I don’t notice the problem. But if I’m watching an instructional video and need to rewind, pause, etc., then it’s really apparent that it froze up.
but do you use tubearchivist-jf-plugin for getting metadata in to jellyfin? I cannot seem to get that plugin to function on my set up for some reason
Man, I went through several Jellyfin metadata plugins with issues. But that one did work “suddenly”, and I don’t recall any specific steps taken to get it working.
I posted about this months ago as I really wanted TA working with Jellyfin.
Synology DS920+ as a docker container.
The freezing doesn’t happen all the time, but often enough that I needed to ask! LOL
Just to reiterate, the video will continue to play, but the actual interface is frozen, so I can’t pause or change the volume. A page refresh fixes the problem, sometimes for the remainder of the video, or for less than a minute. It’s totally random.
Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.
Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I’m not sure). I’ve got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it’s been reliable.
I do also use Linkwarden, but that’s more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn’t rely on the page still being live to work.
Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.
Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!
If there’s a life-or-death situation that I absolutely cannot miss, I’ll set two alarms 15 minutes apart.
But in all honestly, you should be able to wake up fresh without even having an alarm. It requires that you practice good sleep habits, including a consistent sleep schedule.
