Project mention: Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16Youtube seems to be doing some A/B testing with the comment system which has made proxies like Invidious and yt-dlp/Newpipe unable to load comments. There is a patch for Invidious [1] which solves this problem but it is not in master yet. I tested it on my own instance and it does solve the problem.

> Do you block YouTube on your network so you don't see content from that platform? I'd wager you don't.
I don't block YouTube, I just don't use any of their official frontends. There are plenty of alternatives in this space[1]. This might not work for everyone, but I get a much better UX with these tools. Not seeing ads is one benefit, but it's also about not being a participant in training algorithms that effectively cause psychological damage.
> I am pretty sure you pay for things that bring value or make thing easier for you in life
Of course. And I happily support content creators who don't rely on advertising or Google itself. I just refuse to be forced into a corrupt business model.
Anyway, I didn't mean to antagonize you, so apologies if my response came across that way.

Project mention: Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

Project mention: Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-14My project here is similar: https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local
It keeps everything in the browser while still being local to the machine

Also in this realm, for Roku there is https://github.com/iBicha/playlet which works great when hooked up to my self-hosted Invidious instance.

Project mention: YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-03In addition to better adblockers, I also learned how to use them better. For example, to update ublock origin's filter lists (which I now do every few days), click the chrome addon icon -> cog icon -> 'update'.
Also there are sites that give you exactly the same youtube videos, but without ads (and with improved privacy).
One such site is called 'invidious'. I made a very basic chrome addon that places the invidious link right next to the actual (youtube) link, so now if youtube blocks me, it's only ctrl + click to watch the same video ad-free. https://github.com/stevecondylios/invidious-linker#invidious...
While not a blog post, I created a Privacy Frontends with Tailscale repo on Github with this this setup using Tailscale MagicDNS and Caddy.
https://github.com/ecliptik/tailscale-privacy-frontends
I've tested it out on a new Tailnet on a t3.medium EC2 instance and it works relatively well. Adding new services should be relatively easy.
I'm planning to write up a post about the more technical details on the stack still.
