YouTube has broken its functionality to be able to remove videos I've seen and am subscribed to.
Now I want to implement such behavior myself using a GreaseMonkey script.
I'm still left without one problem, which is: How to identify whether I already clicked on a video?
Can I simply remove al...
On YouTube, when I click trending it makes an AJAX call to fetch the trending videos.
Now, I've made a script that will remove any videos that I've already seen.
That script works fine for the frontpage, but I want the script to also be executed when I click trending.
@JourneymanGeek: Nah... My first line of code is $('#ad_creative_2').remove();. xD
And then some short code to load all images on the right side. Because YouTube has some nifty pre-loading code so it doesn't load things that are not on the screen...
Ah, seems I now have that same problem on the feed itself. Got to use good old copy/paste...
@SimonSheehan hehe, hi! Not enough hours in the day since I started my new job :( ... but, I am really enjoying it... I will probably be slipping down the ranks on SU before too long.... I keep SU chat open and meant to catch up (I always used to skim read when I got back...) but, just not enough time - cutting my losses on chat/twitter... Just can't keep up!
@SimonSheehan Have fun! I still need to get a new one :/ I hate printer shopping - all seem to be as rubbish as each other
@SimonSheehan hyperoptic.com - I am a consultant there! Doing a bit of everything really... sys admin, server stuff, general troubleshooting and advice.
@SimonSheehan hehe, I wish!!! We are getting it installed in the office very shortly (only just moved here and it takes a while to plan/get), but, I live too far away from Central London for it... give the company a few years and I hope I will get it - but, apart from the travel (Just over 3 hours a day), I just love it there - the people are so friendly and I have just always wanted to work for a company doing something exciting/ground breaking.
@SimonSheehan Sorry... 3 hours in total! just over 1.5 hours each way door to door.. annoying as well as it costs so much for travel and I always have to stand on the train :( .... (but... I am finally catching up with the SO podcasts!). Honestly, I don't think I would move - whilst I love the job, and I guess they are happy with me as my one month contract has been extended to 6 months, I don't see it getting extended any longer :( There are quite a few jobs that need doing now as it is a
young company, but, when these things are in place, I just don't see how there will be enough work for them to justify hiring me :( ... I hope I am wrong, but, I have to be realistic.
but... if I was there longer term, I probably would try to move nearer... there is some nice-ish property near by that isn't too expensive. ... and (complicated matters...) there isn't much keeping me where I am at the moment.
@SimonSheehan Not 100% - I am not an employee, they are hiring me through my company and I am still doing other things at the same time (although a lot less!)... and, it is pretty much the same as I have done before, just, much longer term. In the past few years, I don't think I have had a contract for more than 3 weeks (excluding on going support ones/that is very different)... so... same things, just all for one client
If that makes any sense :/ Sort of nicer as when I am in places for 3 weeks, I just don't really make friends/keep contacts e.t.c. and, I am going to sound so sad - but, had my first company Christmas party which was really nice!
@WilliamHilsum I was a bit, but there doesn't seem to be much lately. I'm trying more after Christmas, since I get my drivers license (pending I pass the test), on January 6th.
@SimonSheehan hehe.. weather world wide has been crazy - Whilst I LOVE snow over here, now I am working (and get paid by the day worked!) I am sort of worried about it!!!
@WilliamHilsum Haha. Every kid here thinks that they get a snow day when it snows, but they all live close to the school! then I'm the kid who walks 30 minutes to get there
today the virtualized mail server in our office didn'T boot up
and I couldn't start it anymore
turns out, the guy who wrote the backup script didn't include a check on whether the mount of our NAS succeeded, and so the VM backed itself up on the server, and not on the NAS, which meant that the server was 100% full
@slhck: you may need to script the VMs to run on startup (i use crontab), and it has a bunch of odd dependancies if you run it on a non gui system though
@slhck It is suitable for much much more! ... Only limitations are 24 or 32 or 36GB of ram (I am always forgetting!), no advanced features like HA/VMotion... but... you get snapshots and all the basic features you need
As for backing up, Personally, I use Iscsi and do that on the NAS level... I am not sure of a better approach for just a single box/using a local data store... I know there are loads of third party tools out there
To be honest, I think you sort of have to treat it like a physical box, backup and more should be done at the software layer inside a VM. If you want anything super smart at the hypervisor level, it is really a premium feature - I know there are some advanced features for backing up, but, personally, I have never used them
