Shame on them. Already deleted my account and self-hosted hoarder.

Drama and pitchforks over nothing, as usual.

Agreed. Not much more expensive than a VPS and saves you a lot of headaches.

You don’t need uBO that if your browser has a capable adblocker. It’s been 3 years without uBO for me and I have seen exactly 0 ads.

Brave.

Because they prefer to use something else.

Thanks

What’s Grayjay?

One if the reasons why I avoid YouTube completely.

Paying for software is not inherently stupid. Bad and misleading title.

In the case of Brave (or Vivaldi, to a certain extent) it doesn’t matter too much, as it has a very capable built-in adblocker. It’s not an extension, so it is not going to be weakened by MV3.

The need for latex, in 1999.

I have a couple of no-brand SATA-USB enclosers with some jmicron chipset. Can’t remember the exact chipset right now, as my RPi is not working ATM (see edit).

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX should do the job

Yeah, I use something like this, a no-brand enclosure.

I’m using a couple of cheap Kingston A400 for my setup (120 and 480 GB) and they work just fine. One thing I noticed is that the 120 GB one’s health went down to 92%, from 100%, in “just” one year (smart parameter). But that’s implies a lifetime of more that 12 years, so I’m not excessively concerned.

EDIT: of course, just after writing this comment the smaller SSD began to behave strangely (errors in dmesg).

Or they just have differente priorities and preferences, you know. THe same reason they use Linux instead of $SOMEOTHEROS.
