What about stopping the bullsh*t of TLD nonsense and doing something like crates.rust-lang.org? It’s the most sensible solution.

I guess through their repo. It does not work very well, lately, if at all, in all instances I’ve tried.

My country has no issues with YouTube, if that’s your question.

In a very simplified way, yes. That’s why I’ve been thinking we need something more radical, something where different Piped/Invidious servers can talk to each other and bridge between them to appear more distributed.

This error does not mean that you are signed in or not. The error means that YouTube is asking the Piped proxy to sign in with a YouTube account, probably because it has been detecting quite the weird behavior of a single IP address viewing too many videos at once.

AI doesn’t do feelings

How can I have a serious conversation with these annoying answers? Come on, you know what I am talking about. Even an AI chatbot would know what I mean.

Any AI chatbot, even “general purpose” ones will read your code and will return a description of what it does if you ask it.

And particularly AI would be great at catching “useless”, “weird” or unexplainable code in a repository. Maybe not with the current levels of context. But that’s what I want to know, if these tools (or anything similar) exist yet.

Thank you.

Of course, 100% reliability is impossible even with human reviewers. I just want a tool that gives me at least something, cause I don’t have the time or knowledge to review a full repo before executing it on my machine.

I just want a report that says “we detected in line 27 or file X, a particular behavior that feels weird as it tries to upload your environment variables into some unexpected URL”.

I don’t care if the solution is AI based or not, indeed.

I guess I thought it like that because AI is quite fit for the task of understanding what might be the purpose of code in a few seconds/minutes without you having to review it. I don’t know how some non-AI tool could be better for such task.

Edit: so many people against the idea. Have you guys used GitHub Copilot? It understands the context of your repo to help you write the next thing… Right? Well, what if you apply the same idea to simply review for malicious/unexpected behaviour on third party repos? Doesn’t seem too weird for me.

Not my experience so far with my single service I’ve been running for a year. It’s making me even think of opening up even more stuff.

With Piped you are watching videos through the Piped server, which is the one calling YouTube. So Google knows the server is watching but it does not know it’s you. A proxy, they call it.

The benefit is clearly that your views get mixed with many other people’s and tracking individually is way more difficult.

Also, you get to have subs, playlists… All synced with your Piped account.

I don’t know if Merkuro Calendar has been ported to Windows yet

Oh, wow, I do have HAOS on my Pi so this one is a strong strong candidate.

I know you can definitely selfhost Piped but it’s virtually the same as using YouTube with uBlock. Piped’s magic lies on it having some users so data cannot be linked to you.

Emm… I did, it’s this post 😅

It’s more like: I know people do this, but I don’t, so I wanted to see what was the reasoning behind these things.

That was an amazing read. Thank you.

What do you say is the use case for separating guest Wi-Fi with the more “private” stuff on your network?

As far as I understand… Basically all communications, even inside a network, are encrypted… So I guess you do that to avoid someone trying to exploit some vulnerability?

IMO there is something magical about having it all running under such a small footprint device, where a simple aluminum case brings it enough cooling.

Obviously if you want to go for huge media consumption or local AI, then it won’t be enough, but for running Home Assistant, qBitTorrent, syncthing… You’ll be fine and supergreen.

Your plan sounds like exactly what Piped or Invidious are doing, just that you do want to do it yourself, on your server, so it’s worse in terms of privacy.

For manual handling, just substitute the youtube.com part with your piped server name, like kavin.rocks for example.
