YouTube is experimenting with server-side ads
  • This specific example is one thing that self hosting is arguably better for. I’ve made a few shitposting memes and the like that are five seconds long and uploaded unlisted just to share with friends that get immediately flagged and banned for DMCA that I’ve taken to just self hosting them. They’re getting like three views anyway because the world was never meant to see them.

    People sharing videos with friends and family seems like a problem that’s already solved, if you really don’t want to use YouTube. Big channels that get millions of views are the real issue.

  • The Affinity and Canva Pledge (Acquisition Update)
  • We know this model has been a key part of the Affinity offering and we are committed to continue to offer perpetual licenses in the future.

    If we do offer a subscription, it will only ever be as an option alongside the perpetual model, for those who prefer it.

    Seems to be the key take away based on comments from similar posts. The wording is a bit more explicit here.

    I’m always weary of the never-ending march towards everything monopolizing into like three companies, but it seems like this might not be so bad, at least for the near future.

  • Stayin' Alive
  • Feliz Navidad is the only Christmas song that I don’t utterly despise. Perhaps because none of the places I worked at that played music when I was younger ever had it on the rotation, I can appreciate that it’s super catchy and fun.

    All other Christmas music makes a holly jolly boy a sour Scrooge.

  • Season 8 Episode 1 - The Impossible Stream [Discussion and Spoilers]
  • I mostly liked it. The joke that got me the hardest was probably the robot standup comedian.

    My only complaint really was that they pulled an “oh no fry is dead but wait he’s not” again which the writers really started to like to do in like every other episode after the first reboot, so I hope this doesn’t become a running theme in every episode.

  • Why would iCloud Private Relay break internet connection behind a network switch?

    Please let me know if this community doesn't allow tech-support type of questions, I couldn't find a decently populated community on lemmy for this sort of question and I don't want to go crawling back to Reddit to ask.

    Anyway, I have used iCloud Private Relay since it became available on WiFi with Macbook Pro. It works fine as expected, unless I enable my VPN, which is understandable.

    Today, I bought a bunch of ethernet cables and a TP-Link semi-managed network switch (TL-SG108E, it has some configuration options but works out of the box as an unmanaged switch) with the intention of upgrading my network so things like the PS5, my home server, and my Macbook dock have wired connections.

    Upon getting everything set up, I realized the Macbook was still using the WiFi, so I disabled WiFi, and lo' and behold, no internet. Strangely, I can ping everything on my network fine, and access all my self-hosted stuff. I just can't get out of my network. Figured it might be something with my Pihole. Or, worse case scenario, a dud switch.

    Bunch of bullshitting later with no success, I, on a hunch, went into my iCloud settings and disabled private relay, and immediately I have internet access. Everything is working as it should.

    So... am I missing something? Why would the sole change of plugging my Macbook into a switch via ethernet break private relay? For that matter - what is private relay doing that could possibly break internet access? If it works on WiFi, I can't figure out what switching to a wired connection, or the introduction of a switch, could do to cause it stop working.

    Lastly, any advice to get it working again? Some configuration somewhere I'm overlooking?
