Yeh, exactly.
It's a private company.
It's a huge platform, but YouTube can choose what YouTube is.

The only way any change happens is if YouTube gets raked over the coals by enough content producers (that they could collectively start their own platform) by media and potentially by governments (recognising them as some sort of critical communications or something and implementing regulations?).
Or if all the YouTube viewers decide they have had enough and go elsewhere (where, tho? Kinda goes hand-in-hand with creators starting their own platform).

So the pressure needs to keep building, YouTube needs to keep doing shitty things. Eventually... Hopefully?... Something changes: YouTube gets better, a new platform is born.

Oh, gotcha.
I'm pretty sure they have a patreon.
They ran a Kickstarter to fund the production of this specific 3h episode, and all levels of backers got a USB key with a copy of the video on it.

The issue isn't it being deleted. It won't disappear.

The issue is the contents potentially not reaching as many new viewers unaware of Nvidias shady behaviour and how the black market of GPUs actual works because Bloomberg (who have sponsorship from Nvidia) DMCAd the video.
Either because their articles were used as a source and the text of those articles were shown on screen (potentially reducing views those articles would have received if they were linked? Or something? No idea how you would provide a snapshot of the information as it was at the time of publishing the video, tho. Cause the article could be edited after GNs video was published, making any soft references meaningless).
Or because they used some of Bloombergs video of POTUS, which (in my understanding) cannot be copyrighted.

So to me, it seems like GNs video was frivolously DMCAd to reduce its impact on Nvidia.
The impact of that DMCA is that: as it was starting to trend it gets taken offline for ~10 days. After which, YouTube's algorithm will be unlikely to promote it via its algorithm because it hasn't had any new views for 10 days.
Effectively killing the video.
Gamers Nexus gets a "strike" against their channel (of which they get 3).
Bloomberg has 0 repercussions.

Unless we all kick up enough fuss to cause some repercussions, and support GN enough to get the exposé trending again.

Edit: never mind

You know how I explain it for people that don't get it?

You don't assume someone's name.

You don't walk up to a complete stranger and say "Hey bob, nice to meet you".

So why would you assume any other part of their identity?

What about liquid particles in the flatulence phase-changing and lowering the temperature? (Like how an evaporative swamp cooler works)

A bunch of other YouTubers are reuploading it in protest.
So, you can watch it on one of the reuploads.
Just make sure you watch it again on Gamers Nexus when it comes back, help them jump re-start it on the algorithm so it gets the views it deserves.

Thankfully the Streisand effect will take care of the publicity.

I'm guessing that - from my experience of the CasualUK community when I used to be on Reddit - they have similar rules of ABSOLUTELY no politics. Even something that might lead to politics.
It's to keep the place extremely light hearted and not turn into a depressing news/politics community.

So immigration/border policy and Palestine Action would both be out.
Even jokes about small boats would likely be too close.

It is a fun story, glad you shared it. And good on the mods recommending an alternative community

There is no good answer to it.

It is ridiculous that a channel which uploads thousands of authentic original content can lose all algorithm momentum from a frivolous DMCA strike removing their video for 10 days.
It basically guarantees a video gets killed. Even if the video gets reinstated after an appeal.

This particular video will massively bounce back. People are angry at Nvidia, people are angry with YouTube and with YouTubes DMCA process, and now people are angry at Bloomberg.
And Gamers Nexus isn't gonna let this drop, and GN has earned its communities trust (and I think trust in general) that there will be flocks of people ensuring the video doesn't die.

But if this was a smaller channel releasing a massive expose like this, it would probably just drop out off the public's radar before it gets established

Yeh, absolutely.
The DMCA takedown works because music/film industry execs have previously gone after YouTube for not responding to legitimate copyright infringements.
So YouTube now favours the person claiming the strike and makes it very difficult for the defendant to exonerate themselves.

Changing how they publish will sidestep YouTube overplaying.
But YouTube has revenue split with content creators, and has an absolutely massive audience with discovery algorithms and community stuff. Moving away from that platform would be an insane move

I'd still run k8s inside a proxmox VM. Even if it's basically all resources dedicated to the VM, proxmox gives you a huge amount of oversight and additional tooling.
Proxmox doesn't have to do much (or even anything), beyond provide a virtual machine.

I've ran Talos OS (dedicated k8s distro) bare metal. It was fine, but I wish I had a hypervisor. I was lucky that my project could be wiped and rebuilt with ease. Having a hypervisor would mean I could've just rolled back to a snapshot, and separated worker/master nodes without running additional servers.
This was sorely missed when I was both learning the deployment of k8s, and k8s itself.
For the next project that is similar, I'll run talos inside proxmox VMs.

As far as "how does cloudflare work in k8s".... However you want?
You could manually deploy the example manifests provided by cloudflare.
Or perhaps there are some helm charts that can make it all a bit easier?

Or you could install an operator, which will look for Custom Resource Definitions or specific metadata on standard resources, then deploy and configure the suitable additional resources in order to make it work.
https://github.com/adyanth/cloudflare-operator seems popular?

I'd look to reduce the amount of yaml you have to write/configure by hand. Which is why I like operators

Knowing what lurks underneath old cities the demand for archeologist would absolutely skyrocket.
Great job creation prospects.
And then we get to queue in cars to get coffee. So convenient.
It's just wins all around

In his Truth Social website President Donald Trump described the Smithsonian as "OUT OF CONTROL" and said museums across the United States are "WOKE."

Convicted felon says museums are woke and out of control.

In a statement sent to Newsweek the Smithsonian said: "The Smithsonian's work is grounded in a deep commitment to scholarly excellence, rigorous research, and the accurate, factual presentation of history.

The world's largest museum, education and research complex says they are grounded in accurate presentation of history.

It's pretty clear that the US government is targeting the Smithsonian and other historical archives to rewrite history.

Considering the other articles linked which talk about the removal of trump's impeachments and other pressures on historical facts and accuracy, I'd be worried about the following quote:

"It's not about whitewashing it's about full context, so while slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress and I think we need to be focusing on the progress that we've made then and we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress.

So, yeh the Nazis killed a bunch of people. But they also developed the Volkswagen, Porsche and Hugo Boss. And we have all come to appreciate fancy cars and fly shirts. So, let's not focus on what the Nazis did, but instead let's concentrate on the hope that cars bring!

And even if you argue that "things are better now". Sure, somewhat. But, imo, it's not really something to celebrate. Black people can vote, but shitty racist people in power still suppress the fuck out of them.

Germany recognises it's history. It teaches it in school, it's made memorials & museums of historically abhorrent places, and it's outlawed everything related.

US still celebrates Thanksgiving.

So yeh, here is the directive:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-restores-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/

to work to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.

So, eliminate some history.
But - depending on how carefully that scalpel is wielded - it could cut away the bad parts and leave the "good" parts. Cherry picking, if you will.
Leaves a generally positive vibe of slavery.
Divisive and anti-american to whip/hang/rape slaves. So, leave that part out.
But provide the American dream for a slave by impregnating them and giving them a less crowded room and easier slave labour, or elevating them to a house position, or whatever... THATS the American dream!
Slaves that behaved were treated well.
But, just leave out the thousands of slaves that were beaten for sensless reasons because they were considered barbaric and sub-human.
Just... Ignore the fact that they were kidnapped from their home, transported for weeks in horrendous conditions, then auctioned off to rich white men.
