Wait so Cloudflare actually isn’t the bad guy for once?
If you host your own private instance, it’s less likely to get blocked. But quite a few public instance are having trouble right now.
Grayjay is source-available, but not free & open-source software.
Downloading YouTube videos works, but it’s probably not the desired workflow for most people. It takes up storage space on your disk, and you have to wait for the video to download, before you can watch it. I like Tube Archivist, and use it myself for archiving videos, but I wouldn’t consider it a great solution for just watching videos. I think LibreTube, FreeTube or a self-hosted Invidious instance are better solutions here.
You can easily deploy Invidious on that Mac as well. Just use Docker, Invidious has pretty good documentation for that: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#docker-compose-method-production
I used to host Invidious like that on a Mac for almost a year, it worked flawlessly
Some instances like inv.nadeko.net still work pretty well
You can also host your own instance at home on a small server or a VPS. You can optionally put it behind a VPN using Gluetun.
You can try this one https://github.com/iBicha/playlet
I agree, but most Invidious instances are currently broken, Grayjay isn’t really FOSS and youtube-dl/yt-dlp aren’t really great for watching videos, they’re better for archiving them.
Deutsche Welle isn’t much better btw. They still call it “Israel-Hamas war”, although the Israeli fascist government has clearly shown that their highest priority is committing genocide against innocent Palestinian civilians, not fighting Hamas
Except the ads on porn sites are easier to block than YouTube’s intrusive garbage. A simple DNS filter should be enough for most porn ads, whereas YouTube requires more complex blocking techniques.
It’s back up now
A great article by The Citizen Lab about Intellexa, Cytrox and spyware mercenaries in general: https://citizenlab.ca/2021/12/pegasus-vs-predator-dissidents-doubly-infected-iphone-reveals-cytrox-mercenary-spyware/
Hell yeah, now do the same with their EU-based subsidiary Cytrox
Now read your own comment and reconsider if it actually made sense to post this
You can try rclone, but their Proton Drive integration is in beta

Specifically check out tilde.town, it’s really cool. For more general information about the tildeverse, go to tildeverse.org
XCP-ng is pretty cool
Why should I use a piece of software that’s controlled by a corporate entity in Russia?
When did you try it out? It got many updates, maybe try it again?
The easiest solution is to go to Settings -> Instance and toggle both “Disable Piped proxy” and “Local stream extractions”
