It has now been over a year of archiving the weather channel in 12 hour chunks!

If you want to see what the weather was doing on Oct 11th 2024 then you can do that.

Just about every day over the last year has the full 24 hours captured, bugs and craziness and all.

Before you continue to YouTube

My (the weather channel @ecweatherchannel) YouTube account was getting upwards of 10 emails a day for copyright on the streams

I even posted about it to the community. It was non-stop and it meant the very little ad revenue I was getting was gone completely.

I swapped out the playlist to be 100% sure because maybe licenses changed and stuff.

Now the bizarre thing is the emails just randomly stopped one day. None of the old streams were being pinged anymore.

Now to my surprise, all of the old streams no longer have copyright issues and are fully monetized (by me!) again. So strange. I wonder what was going on for like a solid 2 months.

Well at least my inbox is much happier.

@wpgne @djrrb left you a ping on GitHub regarding the font and putting it to main/release

This is still like.. happening and stuff, if not worse now after even more layoffs.
Good lord the tech job market is terrible right now. Senior Developer with a decade of experience and I can't even get one interview so far. What more do these people want!?

Today was a pretty cool day for me as I can now say that I have both made a game AND published it on Steam

Steamで10% OFF:Finnish Pub Simulator

Run your very own pub in the Finnish countryside either on your own or with friends! Manage your pub's inventory, set your own prices, and be ready to refuse service if things get too crazy.

With PMJT gone I hope enough Canadians see sense in voting for Canada and voting for the best for Canada. None of this "anyone but JT" now, they have to be smart.

If they want the good of the people and the country, Pierre ain't it.

Not a citizen yet so I have no say in the upcoming election but one day I hope do

This tax break across Canada for the next two months is great and all but is tax really the problem?

I feel like we need to be going after the big box stores and suppliers for price gouging us rather than having us save 50¢ when we buy a random grocery item.

When I worked for the digital side of a large store that shall be named that begins with Lob, the CEO was _adamant_ they're doing everything they can to stop suppliers and they're only making $1 per grocery cart. I wasn't convinced by this mind you.

This is something I thought was impossible but here we are. The @ecweatherchannel is a full YouTube partner now :)

To my absolute surprise, it actually got accepted into the Partner program!

Attached: 2 images So tomorrow will be the day that I'll be able to apply for the YouTube Partner Program on my Winnipeg weather channel. I'm not hopeful that I'll be eligible as they'll probably see it as low effort repetitive content, but at least I'll finally have an answer. If anything, the 12 hour restarts have boosted the stream in ways that I didn't even expect. The last 28 days have been insane with the analytics being way higher than the entire lifetime of the channel. Cool to see so many people enjoying such a (kinda) niche project that I've put together over the last 3 years.
