Even if you can’t afford Nebula, I recommend browsing its explore section, because many of its high quality creators and videos are also on YouTube. The following are some of my favourite creators on YouTube.
30 minute animated documentary-style videos: LEMMiNO, melodysheep, fern, Hoog, neo, PolyMatter, Imperial, Cipher, Real Engineering, Mustard
Shorter explainer videos: Posy, Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time, Sciencephile the AI, minutephysics, Steve Mould, Half as Interesting
The two times something like this happened to me, it was always a RAM issue. One time it was XMP, the other time I forgot to install swap, so the memory simply ran out
Probably, but YouTube also compresses popular videos more aggressively, so you need to download less data to watch a second of video.
True, I almost forgot that I had to give them my ID. That’s pretty bad for your own privacy, but other than that Germany has better privacy laws than most other countries
Hetzner has some really cheap servers in Germany

There are many modern alternatives to common Unix commands, often written in rust, or provided in Nushell, that showcase that. Here are some common themes I like:
Good defaults: You shouldn’t have to memorize
tar -xzvfjust to extract a tar file; The thing you’re most likely to want to do should be the default. But other use cases should still be achievable through the use of flags. Make simple thing easy and difficult things possible.Subcommands: It helps separate and discover the different functions of a CLI. Paired with a help subcommand, you can quickly look up information for the subcommand you’re actually interested in.
Domain specific languages: Many problems already have a solution in the form of a DSL, such as Regex or SQL. My favourite example for this is
httpie, which lets you specify the type, body and parameters of an HTTP request without touching any flags.I also much prefer long flags over short ones, because they are self-documenting.
