Zorin OS, which was the second distro I ever tried, I hated how outdated their repos were since they were using an older Ubuntu LTS repository for packages. It was quite painful to install software that would otherwise have worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu. I hope this is no longer the case today.

I try doing something productive, like working on developing a new skill, or work on some of my hobby projects. That prevents me from feeling lonely.

Here’s some that I thought about:

• Wikipub
• Wikihive (A bee mascot)
• Academoo (A cow mascot)
• LinkLynx (A lynx with a magnifying glass maybe?)
• Encyclonet

I haven’t seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I’ve seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.

I think it is quite unlikely for YouTube to implement a DRM for watching videos. In anyways, we will keep fighting collaboratively as long as we can.

The most likely way YouTube probably will affect us currently is if they decide to log in wall their platform like how Twitter did.

Good to hear that :) Inviting the bot definitely helps it reach more communities, so thanks for that!

Connect is a closed-source application and is hence not on F-Droid. If you wanted to download apps from the play store, you can use Aurora Store btw!

Peertube is based on the Activitypub protocol and can federate with other instances just like Lemmy/Mastodon. Odysee is a decentralized blockchain-based video-sharing platform.

If you’d like to monetize your content, Odysee would be the better option due to its own cryptocurrency for tipping. I personally like Peertube more, as I think it is better moderated against right-wing content.

Peertube and Odysee.

You could try HF Code Autocomplete VSCode extension. That would allow you to use open-source LLMs like https://github.com/bigcode-project/starcoder.

I would try looking at the JavaScript console for errors, and the network tab for issues with requests. Something seems oddly wrong, unfortunately.

If the Peertube developers find a way to make a way to find the same content there through some metadata, we could support it easily, but currently, there isn’t anything.

There shouldn’t be any, is this on iOS for the setup?

You can find more information at https://feddit.rocks/comment/39147, it tries to look all over Lemmy, but doesn’t have enough communities to scan :/

You can now try sending it a message mentioning communities in the format !community@instance.tld and it will try joining it :)

Yes, that’s somewhat the point. You can see it in action in this comment. Rather than replace, it allows people to see a Piped link too instead of YouTube one.

Here’s a really cool YouTube video: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ (the bot will reply to this)

Piped can be more privacy friendly in a few cases, as you don’t need an account for subscriptions or playlists.

Here are some differences to Invidious:

• Subscriptions don’t necessarily require an account
• Playlists don’t necessarily require an account
• Piped supports Infinite scrolling
• Piped supports Webm videos
• Piped can stream videos from Odysee if the same video is available there.
• Piped is a lot lighter on the server
• Piped always proxies your traffic to Google’s servers (most Invidious servers don’t proxy videos to YouTube by default)
• Piped has SponsorBlock integrated (DeArrow will be added soon)
• Piped has ReturnYouTubeDislike support via RYD-Proxy
• Piped can only be self-hosted on a server. Invidious on the other hand can work fine on local networks.
• Piped is a lot easier to administer than Invidious as an instance operator.

I’ll conclude by saying that I was once an Invidious user. I decided to write Piped at a time when Invidious was riddled with extremely odd bugs and performance issues. Some of these issues still persist to this day. I’ve always kept performance a top priority in Piped. I wanted to create a better alternative to YouTube than Invidious for my use case and threat model. I think I have succeeded in that :)

Currently, it scans all posts that are federated with my Lemmy instance (feddit.rocks), however, there are very few communities that it is scanning currently as there are very few users who have subscribed to communities on my instance.

If more people register on my Lemmy instance and subscribe to more communities, it will scan those communities as well.

I hope more users register on my instance so it can be listed on https://join-lemmy.org/instances too :) I currently lack the 5 active users requirement for that, unfortunately.

Alternatively, I could maybe add a way for people to get the bot to subscribe to a community, so people from other instances can add communities to be scanned. 🤔 You can now try sending it a message mentioning communities in the format !community@instance.tld and it will try joining it :)

EndeavourOS, it’s based on Arch Linux.

Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.
