Bands can start their own “labels” on archive.org, https://archive.org/details/netlabels . is that what you had in mind?
The attraction of youtube for almost all listeners is the huge copyrighted collection, which is (mostly) there through artist permission or upload, because the artists get a chunk of the ad revenue. Any serious competitor would also have to somehow deliver a payment stream, which means ads or subscriptions or something. Not really a fediverse thing.
So find the places where the bitrate changes and decode and analyze those frames. Outdoors, true, leaves blow around, there is wildlife etc. A harder problem. I was thinking more of an indoor security camera. As for examining the bit rate, I guess it depends on the encoding, but e.g. in .mp4 there is a “key frame” every so often and then a bunch of delta frames, and if stuff is changing too fast iirc the key frames become more frequent. But I believe there is a fast way to scan for them, that is needed for fast forwarding in video.
I have to wonder if there’s a faster way than literally decoding the video and analyzing the decoded frames, if that’s how you’re doing it with ffmpeg. Video compression revolves around motion estimation so maybe it’s possible to just scan the file and find frames where the motion vectors (the data saying how the stuff in the picture is changing at a given frame) suddenly get larger. I assume this is for something like a security video that usually shows a static picture, and OP wants to flag when someone enters the room. In that case there will be almost no motion most of the time, and suddenly there will be some.
One thing that can help (more for libraries than large applications) is “dependency cooldowns”. Basically don’t use the latest version of anything until a few weeks after its release. The hope is that most malicious changes or blatant bugs will be caught fairly early.

generally, use “netstat -lpn | grep 8080” (or whatever port number) to find out what process is already listening on that port. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Meh, it’s sort of an empty gesture, as discussed in the HN thread. The “competitor” is a somewhat-compatible Teensy 3 clone that uses a different processor with roughly similar cpu performance. It doesn’t compete with the much faster Teensy 4 which is the only model that PJRC currently sells. And these types of boards aren’t generally about CPU performance anyway. If you want fast computing, get a Linux board or similar. These boards are about stuff like analog i/o.
This is big stupid drama but there’s a long thread about it on hackernews.

Ars technica is usually legit.
Why do TV’s and audio gear use memory? TV’s ok I can sort of understand a little, but audio? That’s still analog right? Or anyway mostly analog.
Meaning fuel powered generators? Bah.
I’d DIY it (maybe with FreeNAS, about which I know nothing) instead of buying a proprietary NAS in a box. What’s the point of self-hosting if you’re going to be at the mercy of someone else’s software anyway? If you’re DIY’ing, there are 3.5" drive enclosures with soundproofing stuff in them that should keep the drive pretty quiet. Or if you can afford enough SSD’s for your storage requirements, then use those.
This is an interesting idea but Firefox itself should both limit resource consumption and do those sorts of stops. Hmm.

Not good, see a Dr.
Depending on your height, 180lb sounds chubby but not in morbidly obese territory yet. Don’t panic.
I’ve thought of doing it for privacy and other reasons. I don’t have the sense that the resource load is high, but I haven’t checked carefully.
https://lobste.rs/ maybe? Non-programming forums are still around too, like progarchives.com. AI scrapers may be more of a threat than Reddit. I heard that https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/ put most of its fiction section behind a login wall, maybe to avoid scraping and other overactive bots.
What’s a thematic forum? Do you mean a site with people on it talking about some topic? Do you mean software like NodeBB?
IDK what you mean about “return” of old school forums. They never went away, they’re still here, maybe slowly declining, but a long way from dead. I don’t think NodeBB is particularly relevant to keeping them alive. Neither are client side apps since they are usually access with browsers.
You know the person’s Facebook name? That might help.
