I was having some issues with Invidious the other day, which I resolved. However, I came across this tidbit of info that I'd never seen before when I first deployed it:

Post-install configuration:

Highly recommended

Because of various issues, Invidious must be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hour.

Anyone else observing this weird restart schedule?

I stopped using Invidious a couple years ago, when I found out about FreeTube. I do have to update FreeT pretty often. I'll put Invidious back on my list. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.

    You're welcome. I think they've made pretty decent strides especially with the companion app and the fact that YT is relentless in trying to circumvent frontends.

    Seems like there's a FreeTube update every week or so. Cat and Mouse games, but what YT doesn't realize is that Invidious and Freetube are the Cats and YT is the mouse to be consumed.

    A friend of mine a while back was showing me some drums he was thinking about getting, and he had a YT video pulled up on his phone to show me of the drum kit in action. Two unskipable pre-rolls, one skippable pre-roll, the actual video, halfway through the video, another skippable ad. Jebus, how does anyone even put up with that? The ads were absolute bullshit too. One, as I remember, was this nurse advocating the use of Vicks Vapor Rub on your member to enhance the girth and length. I shit you not. I was like, who sees this and slathers Vicks Vapo Rub on your twigs n' berries? Wow! That's gotta burn. Damn sure would make mine run hide.

    Is this really what it’s like now?

    Dude, it felt like it took 15 minutes to watch a maybe a 2 minute video. It was horrible. And like I said, Vicks Vapo Rub? Who on earth, who owns a set of twigs n' berries, would even contemplate this? Sometimes my friends will call me over to look at some problem with their computer. It's 99.999% Windows 11. OMG! I just want to rage quit the whole scene. Ads on Windows itself. Ads on webpages. Popups. Here an ad, there and ad, everywhere an ad, ad. The whole scene would be complete if they had 5 toolbars in Explorer like it was popular to do back in the day. And I'm like 'How do you all do this?'. At the very, very least install Ublock Origin ffs. But what happens is that Ublock will sometimes just block everything. Out of the box it's generally good. But you have to adjust it sometimes per site and those adjustments carry over to the next time you're on the site. That's where everyone disables it and goes back to ads everywhere. I'm like 'Didn't we just have an hour long training session about this last time I was over here?'

    While I still use Windows 10, it's very stripped down and there's no way I'm moving to Windows 11. For all you Linux purists, yes, I also use Linux and Mac. Settle down! LOL
