Nice!

Though if they were double sided, there is no way we can see all these cards in the same shot. If it starts at odd numbers (i.e. #1), #3 and #4 would share the same card front and back, if it starts even (i.e. a cover graphic and #1 on the same card), #4 and #5 should share the same card front and back.

And then there is youtube which just discards the whole buffer content each time an ad plays. Very sophisticated. Although knowing google that behavoir is likely on purpose

Hi Lemmy

Not sure if this is the right community for requests, if not, mods feel free to delete this post.

After a long time I'm finally finding joy again in listening to music. Lately I'm into stuff that combines classical or symphonic instruments (i.e. brass, strings, piano) with modern music styles like electronica, pop or hip hop.

Stuff like the albums Symphonia or Deluxe by Schiller, or the OST of the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942.

Do you have any suggestions for similar tracks?

There's a big difference between being sponsored by the very product you are reviewing in this specific video, and being sponsored by something unrelated while being openly and obviously presented as sponsored content.

If the power goes out there will be no signalling on the tracks, no barriers or traffic lights at level crossings, no lights or announcements at train stations, etc.

Even though a diesel locomotive technically could run with no external power, no regular train will be operating during a general power outage.

Same goes for an EMP, even though that would likely fry the diesel locos control systems anyways

Alternatively when creating the ventoy installation you can chose to leave X amount of space behind the ventoy partition and then create your own data partition there afterwards. You lose the advantage of "dynamically" sharing the available space between ventoy and your data, but with the seperqte partition you can use whatever filesystem you like for your data, and there is a clear seperation between ventoy and your other data.

I know it's not exactly what you are asking, but on kagi.com you can increase & decrease weighting of any domain in search results. You can also create custom url redirects, which could work for cases where the url contains the same information but on another domain (i.e. redirect youtube result to same video ID on piped).

But I'm not sure if kagi fits your needs, while it is privacy focused it is a commercial product and it asks a monthly subscription fee

By not ratio-ing them on their age?

For me personally that looks very interesting if that's the right word, it pikes my curiousity, but it evokes a very uneasy feeling which would make me want to leave rather than hang around this area.

Kind of "nothing is allowed here if it's not with explicit purpose"

In Switzerland we basically had ISP monopolies back in the day on cable (DOCSIS) and on the phone (xDSL) networks. Prices were ok, but not low. Then fiber optic as a viable tech came around, but neither of the large ISP was particularly eager to build out a fiber infrastructure, as it was more lucrative to just sit on their "old" tech, knowing the ohter party won't be building fiber, so won't have a better offer either

So what happend then was that munincipalities built their own fiber networks, renting them out to the ISPs, large and small ones, either as an IP service or as dark fiber for ISPs which want to provide their own equipent. Only the largest ISP still builds their own fiber infrastructure, in parallel, and they are required by law to rent out that infrastructure to other ISPs as well.

This has really leveled the playing field, brought good competition and lowered the prices.

So I think government owned infrastructure is the way to go, but it takes a long time to build out and needs the right policies and legal framework to succeed.

I was asking myself, how much money do you need to have, to be in the top 1%?

So for context, according to this article, you are in the top 1% worldwide, if your net worth is above ~872'000.-, that is 19 million US Americans.

With 94'000.- you are in the top 10%

I want to pay for the content on youtube and I believe that the creators deserve it as well as I understand that the platform costs money. But the UX is so bad and youtube very obviously does not care at all about their viewers, that I morally just can't justify giving them money for that level of service.
