How would that work? I couldn’t find it in that post.

500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it’s fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I’d love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!

Tubearchivist works well for me and integrates with jellyfin.

Tubearchivist works great for me. Downloader, database and player, all in one. Even integration with jellyfin is possible, not sure about plex though.

Ah, thank you for clearing that up, much appreciated!

Excellent, I’ll probably do that then. If I think about it, only one container needs write access so I should be good to go. User/permissions will be the same, since it’s docker and I have one user for it. Awesome!

Ah, very good to know. Then it makes sense to use this approach. Now I only need to figure out, whether I can give my NAS access drives of other VMs, as I might want to download a copy of that data easily. I guess here might be a problem with permissions and file lock, but I’m not sure. I’ll look into this option, thanks!

That makes sense, especially when the drives are equally old. Thanks for explaining it!

I’m curious. Where is the problem with small drives for RAID5? Too many writes for such a small drive?

That sounds very interesting and I’ll definetly look into it. Thank you!

It’s good to know, that it works. I will probably play around for a bit once I get my hardware. Thanks for letting me know!

That’s also something I was considering briefly. While I’m waiting for hardware, I did basically that or at least I think I did. Although, I didn’t use a bind mount, because I only have one drive for testing, so I created a virtual disk.

What exactly do you mean with bind mount? Mount the data set into the container? I didn’t even know, that this was possible. And what is a data set? Sorry, I’m quite new to all this. Thanks!

Yeah, that is the hardest part. I don’t exactly now, how much space will be needed for each use case. But in the end, I can just copy all my data somewhere else, delete and resize to accomodate needs.

You’re probably correct on your assumption that Google also will lose something if they start banning accounts without warning.

You can also be certain that I, as well as other technically inclined persons, will try and get what they want through other means. A valid point.

Considering this, the only strategy I can see them using is some scare tactics. You will lose your Google account if you keep doing what you do, so give us money! This, however, will only work if they give people warnings, which they haven’t don’t yet.

Thank you for your input, much appreciated! I’ll stick to a VPN for now, as it doesn’t cost me anything. I’m just a cautious person.

I’m not paying everyone. Pretty much impossible. Here is my logic for what I’m doing on detail.

Netflix is 8 Euro a month here in Germany as a basic plan. I can share that with my girlfriend. They produce movies and then stream those to me. I use it quite often. I’m totally okay with what I’m getting for my money and pay happily.

Youtube is 12 Euro per month. I can’t share that plan with my girlfriend, as it would fuck up the algorithm. Youtube hosts videos but doesn’t produce content. I’m not happy with the value in getting.

Now I try to pay creators directly. Can I pay all of them? No. Can I be just? No. Is youtube just? Also no. Small creators get nothing. So I take my 5 euros and divide among creators. Next month a few others and so on. I can choose which ones, depending on how I feel about their content. I find a brilliant channel who helped me out with a project and who’s got patreon? Sure, why not? Last one here was DbTech, which I’m not subscribed to.

So the difference between income for content creators is Youtube Premium: 55 percent of 12 euros is 5,4 euros, My system: about 5 euros. The only difference being how the money is divided. I try to favor smaller channels.

In the end, I believe my system is superior, as gives me more control on where I spend my money. I only try to screw over Google, because they are greedy as fuck!

How is the bullshit. I take 5 bucks every month and use those for patreon. I cycle through the channels so everybody gets a bit. I only pay the lowest tier for one month, then cancel again. Next month, a few different creators…

One view with ads is worth in the area of a cent, most likely less. Most channels upload once or twice a months. If the lowest paying tier is a dollar, they just made 50 times what they would get for ad revenue.

Kagi was somewhat expensive, if I recall. 10 bucks for unlimited searches put me off, as I don’t have a lot of money right now…

It’s the other way round. I do pay for a VPN anyway and I donate via patron to support creators. A dollar here, a dollar there. It’s still cheaper than a subscription here in Germany and my favorite creators get a bigger payout. I’d be happy to pay for premium if it was something like 5 euros, but 12 a month.

Jup, that is precisely what I meant and why I advocate for people to be cautious, if they use their Google account for more things than just YouTube.

I know this is a possibility, but also a risk. The land where you purchased youtube premium doesn’t match your home address so Google notice. Do you use your primary account for this? Do you need a foreign credit card?
