[YSK] There is a Firefox extension that redirects Youtube videos to Peertube
LibRedirect does a pile of different redirection calls for a one-stop solution.
Now…if only peer tube worked well.
I just said fuck it and run my own private invidious instance, it’s been much more stable and reliable than any of the public instances
You might be mixing up PeerTube with Piped here (and so might the person you’re replying to; I don’t know of PeerTube being unreliable very often).
PeerTube is an entirely separate video hosting platform and part of the Fediverse. It’s not just a YouTube frontend.
What’s the cost? I’m talking both hosting and time spent maintaining it and any other hidden costs you may have encountered.
My home instance runs on truenas sff box next to a dozen other services, footprint is barely noticable but quality is limited by my upload bandwidth. Plays nice with cloudflare tunnels and reverse proxy for access anywhere. The truecharts plugin was touchy so I deployed my own from the docker:latest and it hasn’t needed maintenance other than updates in six months.
There is also the privacy redirect extension, which also supports redirecting to invidious, nitter, bibliogram, openstreetview, etc, all toggleable. It lets you pick instance, or randomly pick for you.
Nitter is dead.
I see. I don’t use X so I never noticed. I believe you can pick other services instead of nitter, or disable X redirects altogether.
Bibliogram dead too
Oooh that would be perfect for using OpenStreetMaps for my use case!
now we need a lemmy bot that replies with youtube links when it detects peertube, to prank that piped-bot
now that I think about it, this is a rad idea, I’d make it if I knew how to code:
here’s the source-code for the piped-link-bot (taken from its profile)
deleted by creator
infinite prankage
I’d be willing to bet the bot only replies to a certain depth of comments on non bot accounts.
