Looks like another take on an old technology, there already was a nuclear cargo ship, but the tech did not pick up then

Sigh. Of course.
And looks like it's only happening on public-facing Invidious instances. My private one is still working

hmmm
try doing sudo systemctl restart invidious.service :D

You can also check if the database is running.
But I would just go with Docker, it is much simple overall

sorry, sudo systemctl status, I mixed it with another command :)

or
sudo systemctl logs invidious.service

Looks like you are getting a server error, so indeed something is wrong.
What you can do is open a terminal on your VPS and try
journalctl -e
and look for any error messages.

judging from their page, the owners of Crystal only offer x86 packages. I'm running it from a Docker container so I don't have this issue

Interesting, I also use FreshRSS, and did not know you can install it this way. For my homelab, everything is running in containers

just out of curiosity, how would you prefer to install it?

New blog post!
In which I talk about Pinchflat, a self-hosted tool to automate downloading videos from Youtube, both old and ones, and new as they are released.
There's also a comparison between Pinchflat and Metube, two tools for downloading YT videos.

Poznań, Winogrady, early 70s
A beautiful example of a typical Eastern Europe "Plattenbau" neighborhood with blocks of flats made from prefabricated elements. Prefabrication and uniformity of buildings allowed a quick creation of millions of flats, something that was very much needed in a country ravaged by war and with a quickly growing population. Each neighborhood had schools and other public institutions included in the design to cater to the needs of the population. #architecture #history

Seriously, establishing the habit of making notes as you learn something new is a life changer.
I just setup up a WireGuard VPN on my new VPS, and made a note of all the steps, so that I can do it again. And I might convert them into a blog post, so that other can follow. And I found out that making blog posts really makes sure that the knowledge stays in my brain.

Ok, so from what I've read, Radeons prefer doing several tasks in parallel to be utilized in full.
Go here https://einsteinathome.org/account/prefs/project and change the utilization factor to 0.5. And then restart the BOINC daemon (not the BOINC manager, the daemon). This way the GPU will crunch two tasks is parallel and be better utilized. If you still see some underutilization, you can try going to 0.3

I think the main thing you need to consider if whether your ISP allows you to open your LAN to the wider internet. Port forwarding, public IP etc. Second thing is security. Are you ready to secure your network from attackers? And thirdly, for the Pi 5 you can buy an NVME hat, this way you won't need to use SD cards.

Internal System of Units, so kilogram, meter, ampere etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units
That was meant to be a joke, if there are SI and imperial units for temperature, why isn't there imperial time :)
