I mean the Invidious project is nice. So is NewPipe. I tend to primarily use YouTube through a patched android app with Revanced; and with SmartTube on an android TV set-top box. When uBlock Origin finally falls; I’ll almost certainly move to downloading videos automatically and putting them into Jellyfin, hopefully the options for automated YT downloads gets better by then. Right now the best option seems to be ytdl-sub.

Nix is a great os to start in a container with. Because then you can come the mic files you developed there anywhere and have the same setup with one command

That type of error is usually indicative of hdd issue. I only mentioned NVMEs because they tend to fail all at once, without recovery options. Spining disks usually fail slower (but not always). Take a peek at smart info, maybe run a scan. My guess is the cord got jostled though tbh

Fedora is a great OS. They also bought CoreOS a while ago and rolled it into their own offerings (fedora Coreos and RHEL Coreos). They’re also the primary developers of Pipewire, the de facto replacement for PulseAudio and potentially Gstreamer.

It’s really sad, in a fluke they’ve embraced, expanded, and extinguished OSS projects by making themselves the linchpin, and then selling to IBM. Goes to show that you should never trust those even with the best intentions, as they can eventually sell out.

Personally I’d be worried there’s a transient disk issue. I’d ensure my backups are good and files aren’t being silently corrupted. I assume you’re on an NVME, they tend to fail instantly, but sometimes you’ll get transient file errors beforehand (like not being able to open a system library). Look at something like debsums to start with maybe.
