@movq@www.uninformativ.de Have we reached peak enshittification yet?
YouTube is completely broken for me for a week or more. The player doesn’t even load anymore. Trying to limit the search results to real videos doesn’t do shit, etc. It’s useless. But downloading the videos with yt-dlp still works like a dream.

Streaming live video as a macOS screensaver using AVFoundation and yt-dlp
I built this to play live HLS streams as a screensaver on macOS. It supports both direct .m3u8 URLs and YouTube
links (via yt-dlp extraction with caching).

making it feel like one continuous stream across monitors
- Handles the unreliable macOS screensaver lifecycle (stopAnimation doesn’t always get called when … ⌘ Read more

Scaling Postgres to the next level at OpenAI
TIL OpenAI uses (used?) one primary write instance for their PostgreSQL cluster with dozens of read replicas. This powers the core ChatGPT service which has hundreds of millions of users and, needless to say, is a critical backbone to it.
The talk implies they shard now, but the whole video emphasises all the optimizations they did in order to support their workload through a single primary. It isn’t mentioned at what time they switched to sharding, but it’s heavily implied that … ⌘ Read more
