I don’t think there are benchmarks specifically for hosting minecraft, but I guess general purpose benchmarks can give you a pretty good estimate. You could spin up a server on your homelab and just stress-test it a bit to see if it is noticeably worse than the other instance. You’ll have to weigh the saved costs against the (likely) worse performance. on a side note: there are great options to make minecraft playable on servers with less CPU power, like using i.e. a paper server, performance mods, or lowering the renderdistance and ‘faking’ more renderdistance with client-side mods like bobby or distant horizons.

Gruselig. Und das nicht nur in DE, der rechts-Trend ist fast überall zu spüren. Ich hab keinen Plan wie das gut ausgehen soll.

I wish I had your optimism.

Kinder haben glaube ich wie du sagst mit den Größten Einfluss! Ein Teil meiner Verwandtschaft ist vor einiger Zeit ausgewandert, Eltern mit einen recht jungen Kind. Dort hatten sie auch noch ein weiteres Kind. Zwar sind beide Kinder zweisprachig aufgewachsen, aber sprechen die dortige Sprache wesentlich besser als Deutsch, einfach dadurch, dass sie mit der Sprache im Alltag viel mehr Berührungspunkte haben. Inzwischen spricht die Familie auch Zuhause kaum mehr Deutsch, weil das “weniger umdenken” für sie ist. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das (wie im Bericht auch erwähnt) in der nächsten Generation nur weiter verstärkt wird.

The thing is, I do see ads when I open the embedded video/playlist on youtube! I don’t think businesses would specifically avoid embedded playlists, but then happily advertise on playlists on youtube. It just looks like an oversight rather than a business decision to me.

yeah I know, makes no sense. I’ll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I’m sure I’ll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.

I selfhosted Invidious a while back, but gave up on it when it stopped working and I couldn’t figure out why. I have no experience with Piped.

I settled on a third alternative, but I don’t want to point too much attention to it because I think it might be flying under Youtubes’ radar at the moment. But let me say this: if you embed a youtube video on a third party site and have it be part of a playlist with only the video in it, you won’t see any ads. so for example I’d be embedding a link like this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?playlist=dQw4w9WgXcQ&vq=hd1080&autoplay=1&modestbranding=1&rel=0 on my own page and can then watch it without ads :) if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up.

EDIT: Well, I just got the first ad using this method. So it seems youtube is cracking down on all ad avoidance methods and they found this one too. Only one ad so far, so it doesn’t seem to be as bad as their own site, with (sometimes multiple) ads before almost every video, but I’m sure it’ll happen. Guess Piped/Invidious it is!
