webtorrent VS uAssets

It's because of the kind of content that is shared. BitTorrent serves a lot of content you are not allowed to redistribute, so having an open gateway immediately puts you at risk of aiding the distribution of content. But it does work, someone even made something native to browsers so browsers themselves can share content: https://webtorrent.io/. There are even fuse "gateways" to make it native to your computer and pretend the files exist locally: https://github.com/search?q=bittorrent+fuse&type=repositorie...

IPFS doesn't seem to be used for that kind of content much, it seems to be targeted more towards web-native content (html pages, images, that kind of stuff). It's probably safer for Cloudflare to run this.

title. I have some experience with c++ but not much with torrent libraries. (webtorrent, stremio)

You can stream torrents

If it fits your model, WebTorrent[0] can offload a lot of bandwidth to peers.

Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.

I assume you've seen https://webtorrent.io/ ?

1. Force uBlock Origin out.

2. Reimplement its features selectively.

uBlock Origin comes with a filter called 'Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN'[0].

Migrate to Firefox and install uBlock Origin, you will have this feature and more.

fixed https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/613159034ef6eed417516e90710474dfab42a808

BTW the whole issue was this, https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/de85f38ad297a6724d3f06d360f1693ab29599ad

Aternos is problematic. See issue https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/13144

Fixing anti-adblock may cause ads or breakages. If you see any issue, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate by commenting here or in this thread on github.

Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything?

a) How does ublock (-the extention-) upgrade . i suppose what that purge caches does is going to the repo and grabs the latest lists/ids etc ... but if during this battle you had to upgrade the extention itself was this done via the extention store or the the extention goes grabs the new version by it self ?

Mega thread issue on GitHub tracking this https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/19976

Reddit is not and should not be considered a tech support site.

YouTube is stepping up the anti-adblock nonsense and will be disabling playback after 3 videos

Personally, this sort of arms race is only going to cause me to not use YouTube
