Why do you think that? the VMs are more like containers so yeah you can run 20 at once but they will all share 2 cpu

I get this all the time on LibreWolf use Edge/Chrome and make sure not to have any privacy blocking addons.

My senior mother needs this. She doesn't use a computer, but does have a TV a firestick. I've tried showing her how to use the search of youtube but she is too use to how tv use to work and wants to channels to find something.

If this could be made into a firestick app or something and come with a recommendation system, allow some customization using topics instead of channel names and have them be editable and customized to different youtube interests - I would buy it

If leaky bucket means "manages burst sizes and burst intervals" then yeah, they are similar in that regard but they do it differently. GCRA is more analogous to a traffic light where its solely time-based and there is no overhead needed to remove/add tokens so you are storing 1 less state object. For all purposes its probably a micro-optimization but being aware how GCRA works can yield less code but perhaps at the expense of obscurity of a lesser known algo.

I think you understand the differences but I think its improper to consider it a variant of leaky bucket as various resources refute

When I signed up for ad companies they initially showed normal, ad-looking ads. Somewhere down the line it became "Click here" red buttons that used transparent backgrounds so it looked like a button on my site.

It could be the case that the website doesn't know their ad company is allowing these ads.

This is surprisingly useful. I was trying to find a very specific podcast about a type of data algorithm and google podcast search just recommended me the wrong type of podcast or couldn't find any. Tried this and it found 9 podcasts that matched what I was after.

Edit: OK they were all articles and not podcasts, so it's possible no one has a podcast about it, but this is still useful

This is tough, one could argue life's work deserved to be backed up but there was a reasonable expectation that the cloud wouldn't lose the data and that Google would be more fair when it wasn't cost effective anymore. Also, the cost of keeping 200TB on the cloud is quite a bill to maintain for rest of your life, buying the HDD space yourself is more attractive.

Is it not the case that having 128 bit primary keys take up 4 times as much memory as 32 bit integers when keeping the indices in RAM? I guess if you need the index to be clustered by time and also need a unique identifier in most queries then UUIDv7 fits your use-case but I still think having integer for the primary key will fit most use cases and be more efficient

All good until Vultr or any of the services you rely on have to do maintenance (guaranteed to happen at least once in my 10+ years of VPS hosting) or even worse, one of the services loses data (Never happened to me, but I've seen it).

I just want to throw out buyvm.net as a block storage alternative. Not as big as vultr but super reliable and affordable, they have a discord and the owner is great
