Thank you, that's so kind! I'll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I'll probably give the images a go.
To be honest, I'm hoping this project doesn't get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.
While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I'm really happy that I'm not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.
I did, but i was going for something really small and simple, more like an ebook reader than a webui.
And I'd guess that's done in the backend instead of the frontend. They should be able to know how many times their server steamed a part of a video.
Well, it does harm creators, as they may get less money. The same goes for adblockers.
Then again I don't really understand why would you care about being "shamed", especially by a company that charges money for a frontend using YouTube's (extremely expensive) servers for free.
Take it with a grain of salt, as I can't provide any sources and I'm not a YouTube content creator. I just remember some channels sharing than.
I completely agree with you, and that's the reason I block them as well. I was just trying to give an explaination for the app's behaviour.
As I've mentioned in another thread, I believe YouTube provides analytics on this (hence the "most replayed" parts for some videos), and I'm certain I've seen some creators mention sposors requiring that information before a deal is made. So it may really hurt some small youtubers that can't rely on merchandise sales.
That said, I personally use sponsorblock as I don't feel like wasting my life on nordvpn ads, but I have to admit sponsor segments are a whole lot better than regular YouTube ads.
Edit: And as I far as I know they pay much better than regular ads.
I believe YouTube provides analytics on this to the creator which may be shared with a potential sponsor before a deal is made.
I believe this is because sponsor segments are like traditional TV ads. They don't use trackers, they are not targeted and they respect your privacy.
My model, and I believe all other, have a 4pin molex connector for the power and as many sata ports as the rack can handle (in my case 4). My "mobile rack" came with 4 rather long sata cables (about 30cm) so it was easy to fit them through an empty pcie bracket slot and I just had to buy a somewhat long 4pin molex adapter.
The drives are practically internal, they are just located outside of the case in said "mobile rack".
Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)
