Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).
So I just logged on YouTube Studio for the first time in months to see what's going on... and found some interesting comments.
I'm not caffeinated enough to deliver zingers but I hope my response was adequate.
On the upside, I also saw a few comments of people who set up new accounts here, so yay.
As for the unplayable problem: no clue. But this is why I LOVE #PeerTube and on my website I'm using the PeerTube embed
@_elena i suspect it's not just you, someone told me they had the same issue for a 3blue1brown video.
maybe YouTube infrastructure is just crumbling. -
@anarodrigues thank you Ana. Actually I promise you this comment genuinely made me laugh out loud and increased my love and gratitude for the Fediverse even more. So all good ❤️
@_elena @anarodrigues
Your reply is great! -

@_elena The video works for me: https://youtu.be/YRJHIJy5Nno?si=NCBfVpolwh6DKFso
I generally avoid yt if I can use an alternative like peertube, and I almost never interact with yt videos, but your videos are definitely worth boosting 😀

@_elena “Elena, congratulations… [stupid rant]…”
“No! Congratulations to you, for making it a whole day without shitting your pants… Oh, no! Don’t worry babe, you’ll make it one day… 😘”I mean, how seriously should one take a moron? 🤪

@dermoth thank you! good to know it's playing for you: out of curiosity, which browser do you use and do you have adblock on?

@_elena this person's comment feels like actual fascists calling other people nazis because they have the option to choose.
What a time to be alive.

@dermoth haha thanks!
I'm too much of a softie to be a villain, but I'd happily be THIS KIND of villain

@_elena I love your video! Just have to say it again.
It works for me and I am behind a strict pi-hole and two active ad-blockers on Vivaldi.
But I got an overlay-message that roughly said "If you are having trouble watching the video report it <here>".
I could imagine that this is some kind of youtube filter to push down content they don't like to get more reach. Or an anti-ad-blocker strategy.

@dermoth thank you! good to know it's playing for you: out of curiosity, which browser do you use and do you have adblock on?
@_elena It was the yt app on Android. Usually I open videos in incognito on Chrome (Android usually, or on my computer), except from select accounts I'm familiar with. I just tested and it worked from Chrome too (incognito).

@themipper ah fascinating!!! Thank you for letting me know! 🙏
I'm also on Vivaldi (with strict "no ads, no trackers" settings) and I use NextDNS.
With NextDNS turned off I still I couldn't play the video, so I thought it might have been something to do with my Vivaldi settings...

@_elena as for Adblock, well there is no extensions in incognito, I have a pi.hole that block most ads but not yt ones.

@_elena i don’t even properly understand what hes trying to say, especially the last sentence?
-

@_elena actually one thing you should look for is the origin country, region locks are quite common on yt. It's Canada for me, but you may have checked my profile for it... I can try from the US when I connect to work (all traffic goes out a US proxy).
Edit: nope, I forgot to say where I'm from in my profile (I'll update it)

@_elena@mastodon.social the video did work for me with Pipepipe android client and Firefox with unlock origin. So this should not be a adblocking issues.

Apart from it being an utterly idiotic and ill-informed comment, what exactly was this person's problem?Excellent response from you!

@_elena #YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.
I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.
It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.

@linus if correctly configured, log rotation will do its job. I've had situations where this led to problems, mainly for the /var/mail/root filled up with e-mails from crons.

@stefano this article links to https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/05/31/freebsd-tips-and-tricks-native-ro-rootfs/ which made me wonder, how do you stop /var for example from filling up ram when it's tmpfs? Do you just set "size" in fstab?

@_elena @dermoth
It also works for me. I'm using Firefox with ublock origin, privacy badger, Sponsorblock. No clue why you have error messages.

That's something that eludes me too, this utter blindness, this inability to think for oneself…
Sometimes it feels like The Matrix is real, and I took the red pill…
And what's with the worshipping of billionaire assholes?? 🤯
