I read this entire this twice and I still don’t understand what your end goal is. What are you doing that requires all this unnecessary duplication?

It’s almost as if these two wealthy unemployable losers are similar because they both are shit people peddling cheap merchandise to scam people to pay more for trash quality throwaway products.

Thank you for the links and reading!

You emphasized the words well known but provide no links to back that up because I’ve never known

Simplest solution is to kill Google CEOs, anything else proposed as a solution will take longer than your entire lifetime.

PopcornTime was so amazing and important. Sad to see it dead.

PeerTube uses WebTorrent protocol and it still doesn’t do well with the same quantity of bandwidth demands.

Post your own self-hosted PeerTube instance for us all to use then, let’s see who’s correct. Otherwise provide a solution or shut the fuck up.

Delete this, YouTube will catch on and block this workaround.

Edit: disregard. Here is a custom GreaseMonkey/ViolentMonkey userscript to automatically do this for you:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         YouTube to Embed Redirect (Desktop & Mobile)
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.1
// @description  Redirects YouTube video URLs (desktop and mobile) to their embed version.
// @author       BaroqueInMind
// @match        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v*
// @match        https://m.youtube.com/watch?v*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    // Extract the video ID from the URL
    const videoId = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('v');

    if (videoId) {
        // Redirect to the embed URL
        window.location.href = `https://www.youtube.com/embed/$%7BvideoId%7D`;
    }
})();

Fuck reddit, this solution did not work for me. All YouTube videos stop buffering after 59 seconds. Only fixes i have found is with either making a custom userscript or disabling ublock from working on YouTube by whitelisting the entire domain.

This protocol already exists and so does the system, PeerTube.

Why no significant quantity of people use it is apparent after you try it for a while; the entire server system cannot handle the commensurate volume of content and interactions that YouTube is popular for.

If you read the links, this includes their server clusters and employees across the entire world all doing complex load balancing and maintenance.

Estimated annual server cost: approximately $1 billion

Estimated annual data center cost: approximately $5 billion

Estimated annual bandwidth cost: $3 billion

Good luck running that shit from your closet server.

No one understands the astronomical bandwidth, CPU/GPU intensive calcs, and data storage necessities required to do anything close to what YouTube currently does.

There is no way under this warm sun that a fediverse version of YouTube will ever be feasible, unless someone like literally yourself is willing to pay extraordinary high amounts of money for all the required infrastructure and daily maintenance to run it.

What’s up with Qwen that makes it better than anything else?

Never heard of it.

I just want one to self host a 70B LLM model for fuck’s sake. I don’t want to be forced to take out a god damned mortgage/personal loan to buy one.

Verify what? I don’t use any API. What are you talking about?

I just host my own and never worry

It’s called “white hat” not white cap.

It was always meaningless. It never had any legal repercussions if it was broken, just like ethics agreements politicians get to waiver.
