Can you explain why you chose the hand and eye? A hand print is a very identifiable trait, so it seems counter to the idea of privacy.

Freetube connecting to local invidous node.

I use Firefox Focus/Klar as my default and if I want anything to persist, I’ll open it in Brave or Chromium.

I’d recommend nebula.tv as another media alternative.

You can run it as a docker, pretty easily.

Run this to generate your visitor_data and po_token

docker run quay.io/invidious/youtube-trusted-session-generator

Clone the repo in link below (step 2) and paste those values into your docker_compose.yml file in the appropriate fields. Also, generate a nice long string for the hmac_key

https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#docker-compose-method-production

This does give you an “identity” with YouTube, but you can generate new tokens as often as you want, replace them in your yml, and restart the container.

Once the container is running, update FreeTube settings abs change the “current invidious instanc” to http://localhost:3000/

Let me know if you get stuck.

I’ve use Plik before with success.

I spun up my own invidious container and that has made my connection far more consistent.

Whatever fed 😉

There’s no /s so I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry…

Yeah, the phone never works right in my dreams and I’m always very frustrated 😅

I ran into facial recognition at the airport recently an opted out, but what are the likely and worst case consequences of allowing yourself to be profiled?

I’ve heard of false arrests because of it, but it seems like those issues while be resolved with time.

Could not agree more.

I refuse to accept the premise of lesser evil. It’s a false choice.

Here’s an idea, actually have candidates that support the people, not their donors. Until then, I won’t vote for any of them.

How is number 17 the lowest? According to their list it is NY. https://www.freedominthe50states.org/

I’ll be fine…

Any chance your firewall is dropping the packets for some reason?

I’ve had sales folks call me on my personal phone and one of them told me they found me on zoominfo.com. I promptly went to their site and requested a deletion.

I’m using the free Action1 plan for our servers and really like it.
