Yet another reason to be overly paranoid about anything that promises "privacy".

Reply to comment by Rambler in YouTube Proxy has been updated - Should be more stable. by Rambler
If you ever watch Invidious on clearnet, Freetube might be useful (I don't know if it works over Tor). It uses Invidious, and it will proxy subscriptions without signup. It's in beta, and there are some aggravations, but I think sometimes it comes from problems with the invidious instances.
The privacy-redirect FF add-on (for clearnet) will direct YT links to Invidious (or auto-open them in Freetube). I use the first one because the layout of search results seems a little better in Invidious, but I still use Freetube more, due to the single-click subscription proxies that you can group into folders. Currently, comments won't display in Freetube. Also, you can't comment from a proxied subscription (naturally).
Also, Piped proxies YT videos. https://piped.kavin.rocks/ It appends long search results and large channels at the "end-of-page". Sometimes a search-on-page for keywords will find desired vids quicker than paging through invidious. I also dropped a piped address(es) in freetube, and it seemed to work. I didn't check if it somehow just resolved to an invidious instance.

If my install wasn't working, it should be now. I had to piece together a solution to automate some tasks that allow the app to run without interruption. Should be solid now.

Reply to comment by whitestar in YouTube Proxy has been updated - Should be more stable. by Rambler
What YouTube has that others don't is content. I can't use any alternative as a daily-driver like I can with YouTube. Can't find the music I want, obscure videos on how to replace a random part on an old Mercedes car, or reviews on solar inverters or stand up comedy bits, etc.
The alternative platforms seemingly only shine in hosting content that YouTube doesn't allow. Unfortunately, until they also host content that YouTube does allow they'll never be a normal, mainstream alternative.
So that's why I use Invidious, to at least watch the content that I do like (hosted on YouTube) in a more private way.

The main domain name seems to be working: https://teddit.net/
I would concerned about being sued for copyright infringement , the name is too similar to Reddit.

I try to use Peertube and Odysee instead of Youtube because I don´t believe the solution to Youtube tracking is to play cat and mouse with Google, the solution is to have an alternative platform that respects privacy and freespeech, but lots of valuable content can be found in Youtube and sometims I still have to visit so thank you for the proxy.

Hell, I bought https://incogtube.com and it resolves over it as well now. I'll propably do a redirect from tube.incognet.io to incogtube.com in the future.

Reply to comment by LnWpxtqPEXyDjAH9rs27 in RockYou2021: largest password compilation of all time leaked online with 8.4 billion entries by Rambler
No, I don't care enough. My point is that the tool is designed in a way to fish more passwords and the moment you "check" your password with the tool, you have to change it anyway, so there's no point in doing so in the first place.
Also, why would anyone download hundreds of gigabytes to check whether their password is compromised, if one could also just update their password?

Have you done even a tiny bit of research?
Downloading the Pwned Passwords list
The entire set of passwords is downloadable for free below with each password being represented as either a SHA-1 or an NTLM hash to protect the original value (some passwords contain personally identifiable information) followed by a count of how many times that password had been seen in the source data breaches. The list may be integrated into other systems and used to verify whether a password has previously appeared in a data breach after which a system may warn the user or even block the password outright. For suggestions on integration practices, read the Pwned Passwords launch blog post for more information.
Please download the data via the torrent link if possible! If you can't access torrents (for example, they're blocked by a corporate firewall), use the "Cloudflare" link and they'll kindly cover the bandwidth cost.

Thanks for bringing all of this stuff onto I2P. Bridges like these add a massive amount of content to the network for relatively little effort.

even when using Google's SafeSearch feature - 36% of the images shown in response to the search "Jewish jokes" were antisemitic.
No shit, really? Their search engine still occasionally delivers results that have something to do with what you typed in? Somebody should fix that.

Reply to comment by TallestSkil in Emojis are making it harder for tech giants to track down online abuse by whitestar
I thought pregnant man emoji, very funny. But I thought nothing is too crazy, I looked it up, and IT IS REAL! https://blog.emojipedia.org/new-emojis-in-2021-2022/ Actually THEY are real because there have to be six different races of proud vaginal papas.
Now "emoji" is a private company, or to be more precise, it's a private company saying "I Get To Post Pictures and You Don't Because YOU might Post 256 Pixels of Child Porn And We Can't Have That But You Can Exercise Your Creativity By Reordering My Pictures In Many Combinations". With a caveat for the censorship issues raised above. Normally I wouldn't bother.
Still, in this case, I think they have inadvertently appealed to unwanted diversity, and they're going to have to backtrack because they're going to normalize unnatural minority groups. You can't have that, and they should know, that what you WANT to say always has to take a back seat to the unhealthy inference someone MIGHT take. Because if you look up online, there's no Fat Man Emoji of course, because fat people are bad. And yet, it is rumored that in dark spaces on the internet, there may be a few fat men looking to be recognized as if they were a legitimate lifestyle choice and not just freaks, dig? So we, erm, I mean THEY, none of them around HERE mind you might be prone to post some illicit sentiment they have failed to predict and contain. Oh boy those were good cheeseburgers this afternoon. I got to go deliver a BABY...
They will abandon their effort, or at least, go back to the Drawing Board.
