I hope you've got plans for what happens to that content when you're not around any more. With how ephemeral a lot of content is on YouTube there's sure to be valuable videos on people's drives.

I've had a lot of luck with finding YouTube videos that disappeared via archive.org

Glad you mentioned that!

I just recently checked my collection to see which videos aren’t available anymore online. I should probably cross check the results with Archive to see if they have them available!

AS? IX? Not everyone knows your insider lingo.

AS = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet) IX = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point

But seriously, reading how the internet works is pretty amazing.

Ha! My time to shine.. I’ve got somewhere around 80TB of YouTube content on my NAS including thousands of videos that aren’t available anymore on YouTube or anywhere else online. The joy of hoarding data..

80TB is a lot just to hoard data... I don't think I even like so many vids.

Well.. I’ve got to have a selection for every occasion!

But it’s not like I’ve watched every video I have, often I just download entire channels if I deem the content to be worthy for archiving.

I actually do have plans for that in place! I’ve got two identical servers, one will go to The Internet Archive and the other one should go to some German archive but I haven’t decided which one, still looking around. I have a script in place that deletes all private data off of those servers before and instructed two friends and some family members on how to proceed. Of course I don’t just hoard YouTube videos..

Talk to Jason Scott at archive.org. Those taken down videos could be uploaded now for safekeeping

Medium sized regional AS here: I am looking at a fairly large drop in IX traffic charts for our ports that face the IX, updated every 60s, which directly corresponds in time with the beginning of the Youtube outage. (We are not big enough to have a direct, dedicated peering session with the Google/Youtube AS). At any given time of day 4pm-11pm a huge percent of our traffic is Youtube (or netflix, or amazon video, or…

Is any of this info publicly available anywhere?

Here's for Portugal, we need around 85gbps at peak.

Do they encrypt the server side error stack trace? 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

It saddens me that the link you posted had to leak the OS you're using... (the fact that it happens)

Or maybe I'm using an extension like this, and am pretending to be a Ubuntu+Firefox user so that they get their commission money from Google --> Mozilla, indirectly funding them. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/

my nerd-profiling radar had you as a network engineer = it's probably ubuntu ;-)
