  • Yeah, if you self-host only for yourself you lose the privacy feature public instances provide. The purpose when self-hosting is to watch youtube with no-ads, sponsor block…

    As you guessed it, YouTube went on frontend crusade and only a few public instances remain (if any?) and those who still work are kinda janky, unstable.

    If privacy is an important feature you’re looking for, you need to wait until those btillant people behind those frontend find a working workaround :)


  • They are the same thing (YouTube self-hosted frontend alternative) with their own features I guess?

    You should test Piped, Indivious and Viewtube and make your own opinion, however Viewtube has been paused so this one is probably not going to have the SABR workaround update Piped and Invidious are working on ?

    Right now they are all a bit janky and unstable because of YouTube’s new update (SABR, don’t know the details) so find one that works as self-hosted and keep tuned.

    If you’re able to contribute as a dev though, give them some help to speed up the process and contribute to the best YouTube frontend alternatives projects !











  • Hehe, I’m doing this all the time now ! 3 years ago when I started my linux/self-hosted server journey with debian: CLI only !

    Was difficult at times and had a few breakdowns (most got fixed the next day… Sleep/taking some time off really helps !!!)

    One thing I’m still bad at… Is taking notes. Haven’t found a good way take IT notes. And I tried sooo many different approaches…


  • Huuh ! That’s somehow similar to how calamares treats LVMs. And also a hack/wacky workaround similar how to fix LVM installation

    • mount every partition similar as chrooting
    • cd to each directory in a separated shell for each directory (keeps the mount points busy)
    • swapon the swap partition

    Only then you are able to install your OS with calamares on a LVM filesystem hierarchy…Except this is a 5 years long issue/bug and they are discussing to drop LVM support :/.

    Sorry for hijacking your comment with something unrelated to the actual post, I’m just amazed on how Linux fixes/workarounds can be odd at times.
