  • I didn't know about the web interfaces of Invidious instances. Definitey looks cool, and this redicrect domain is handy to quickly find a working instance.

    Still, FreeTube has a couple of major advantages. One is that even if your go-to Invidious instance becomes unusable, your local FreeTube configuration (subscriptions, blocks, ricings, you name it) remains 100% in effect, because FreeTube just picks a different instance. Even when Google again makes all Invidious instances dysfunctional, FreeTube may still be usable by accessing YouTube directly. Also, FreeTube likely has A LOT more options—the settings page is quite sizeable. Finally, I find it increasingly nice that it's a standalone client separate from your browser. It makes it more deliberate to start watching videos, so that I'm less likely to go on senseless watching sprees; and conversely, when I'm watching useful videos, I'm less likely to interrupt them by going to some irrelevant website.

  • What hardware do you currently use and what software do you intend to run on the new machine? And what's your budget situation?

    In any case, I would always recommend to buy used or refurbished hardware. Even if it's not necessary financially, it's better for the environment.

  • I think it's usually one's own IP, unless one makes use of the setting to either use Invidious or TOR or another proxy. The invidious instances themselves may also hide themselves from Google behind a proxy.

    The list of available Invidious instances is currently rather short: https://api.invidious.io/

    I haven't personally experienced FreeTube breaking yet, but below a crosspost, someone commented that Google manages to break it every couple of weeks. Enjoy it whenever it works, I guess.

  • This is in all likelihood the way to go. These instructions from VeraCrypt might lead the way.

    Of course, OP should create an exact duplicate of the disk to another drive before making any changes to it.

    As an aside, I know that GPT partition tables likewise come with a backup header at the end of the disk. Whether LUKS encrypted devices also have backup headers, I don't know, but it doesn't seem so. So, my fellow LUKS users, perhaps you would like to run the following:

    sudo cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup /dev/LUKSDEVICE --header-backup-file ~/nas/backups/lenovo_x280.luks.bin

  • Some thoughts (as someone from Germany): There is a way in which wins like this can turn into disasters for socialism: if he wins the mayoral election, but then fails to build the administrative platform that he would need to succeed in his tasks. New Yorkers should not take for granted that he will be able to improve things just because of the powers of the office. I'm saying this because I hope that as many New Yorkers as possible will see the necessity to support him along the entire way, and to continue growing their own community efforts.

  • Gebrauchte Bücher sucht man am besten über eurobuch.de, das als Metasuchmaschine quasi alle großen Plattformen für gebrauchte Bücher (auch international) abdeckt.

    Man kann sich auch Suchagenten einstellen, sodass man z.B. eine E-Mail bekommt, sobald ein neues Angebot unterhalb eines bestimmten Preises gefunden wird.

    Nur aufpassen, dass mit AbeBooks und ZVAB mindestens zwei sehr große Plattformen zu Amazon gehören.

  • There's a provision that says the trust structure can be changed without everyone's consent if the intended change is in the interest of all trustees. Rupert, Lachlan and their team want to exploit this by arguing that the ongoing financial success of the media empire is dependent on it retaining its staunchly conservative editorial line, so that it is in fact (from a financial point of view) in the interest of the three non-conservative children if they don't get to have any influence. The first judge wasn't buying it; let's hope that the others will rule the same way. (One argument in their favor is that the $787 million settlement that Fox News has to pay to Dominion Voting System due to a defamation lawsuit was a consequence of Rupert's or Lachlan's die-hard conservative messaging.)

    What's less good: I remember dimly that, should Rupert live long enough (past theö year 2030?), he can change the trust at will again.
