For-profit cororate tech: Goes down all the time and horifically inefficient despite having trillions to throw at R&D
Some random critical infrastructure open source project with three maintainers basically working for free: The most goddamn robust and optimized code to ever touch your silicon.
The difference is passion. Big tech has soul-crushed, overworked, 9-to-5-ers who just want to do the time in their cubicle and go home. There are some passionate people there, but they are scarce and growing scarcer. The open source project has passionate people who just want to deliver the best product they can.
Another once upon a lifetime problem on big plataforms...
How odd is this became more and more frequent since corporations did massive layoffs and start to use IA
Yes.
But I heard that in just a few billion more dollars the AI will be better than veteran humans at site reliability engineering, in spite of l the evidence, and rh laws of physics.
I guess it sure is forward looking of them to burn billions of dollars to save a few hundred thousand on paying an expert.
I wonder what would happen if these SRE AI tools get full access to prod to "detect and fix" issues.
I do have issues with YouTube, but downtime isn't one of them.
Hey-ooo
The problems with YT will cease when it doesn't come back up.
You think? We've built an irreplaceable library of video knowledge, if it goes down how am I going find out the correct way to disassemble my 10 year old washing machine to replace a door gasket? Or find the correct way to remove the light cluster on my random ass car?
I always have issues with YouTube, and so should you
yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvOuN5KqufE werks on my machine
You can give mpv an URL from YouTube and it will play that video.
It's the same process. Mpv uses yt-dl or yt-dlp on the back end when loading YouTube videos from the URL.
Oh, cool. I have both installed for different reasons and discovered it by accident.
More peertube please!
I thought it was related to the revanced gms thing, but the problem is still there. You can get to your history though.
Been noticing some hiccups those past few days. Wonder if it's related.
My largest issue right now is that you cannot order search results by date anymore.
That's weird. Relevance and Popularity are the only sorting options on mobile in the official app. How not useful or specific at all.
Google decided we need to be fed more algorithm crap instead of actually useful (i.e. most recent) results.
I hope they stub a toe
Unbeknownst to him, this was not his actual largest issue.
I thought it was just my out of date revanced patch. Guess I didn't need to upgrade it after all. But it's good I did anyways.
Seems to only be happening on my feed, not other stuff
Glad I’m not the only one who had a bad production deployment today.
