I did not know Shaggy was a hacker

Sure it’s old but the stats I posted in a lower comment show that at YouTube’s scale, it makes sense to store.

It’s more realistic to ask for a rule on this instance for this instead of lemmy-wide.

Sorry didn’t mean to be rude was just being silly

I said it’s good! I did put it down once I finished unlocking tier 8, but came back and completed the final space elevator delivery as well.

Work in games is popular! For me it plays on the satisfaction of completing a project. A game that does this well I think is Satisfactory.

Post here anyway rule

For what other communities to post this in, maybe !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world. But this one is pretty good

I assume like fenders on a bike for example?

Yeah I replied below with actual numbers

Yeah definitely need to be thoughtful about it but very useful I’d bet

I think you might be underestimating how many users YouTube has! According to this, 720,000 hours per day are uploaded versus 1,000,000,000 hours are watched per day!

Do you have a source? My instinct is the opposite. Compute scales with users but storage scales with videos

Same I’m definitely a fellow normal person

Good idea! I don’t have experience with this but I’d bet you can call a script from the narrative for more complex flows like you mentioned.

Are you suggesting they don’t store different versions? This suggests they do.

I believe they store and that’s why it processes lowest res first and works up

I feel like the early adopters of lemmy are chronically online and shitposting keeps them sane

Are you wondering if one instance can be spread across multiple machines? I don’t think that’s possible and seems unnecessary. I say that because spreading users onto more instances creates less load on the larger instances, not more. Edit: I guess you can scale instances across machines!

Nice that they can control it more, but I’d bet most companies don’t want to maintain their own instance
