I agree

This is gold

A pledge to democracy and democratic values

Duh

Or NextDNS

If you don’t need to configure everything yourself, you can also check out Mullvad’s public DNS or dnsforge

Immich is funded by FUTO btw

Why?

Hmm, strange? How could that have happened? 🤷‍♂️

It’s impressive how many things can be achieved with nothing more than the power of open source software

Rclone with crypt seems pretty nice

Yes

It doesn’t work, because it relies on Piped/Invidious. Both are currently broken, because Google is trying everything to block third party clients/APIs/proxies for YouTube.

Well yeah, I agree. FOSS apps do lack features like logging in (to a Google account), the recommendation algorithm, etc. On the other hand, ReVanced is not exactly easy to install for new users. Both approaches are valid and get the job done (blocking annoying ads). I appreciate the calm and pleasant conversation.

I know that it exists, I don’t think it’s a particularly good solution on Android though. There are native apps like the ones I mentioned before.

Btw syncing an SQLite database with syncthing sounds painful. How often do you have to deal with sync conflicts?

I just don’t want any proprietary software on my devices (for many reasons, most importantly privacy and user freedom). I can use a VPN to privately connect to the YouTube backend, but things get much harder when the proprietary spyware is actually on my device.

If you want to use YouTube for that, it seems like ReVanced is your only option. But you can also create an account on a Piped instance, and have your playlists synced. LibreTube is the only app that supports this.

I’d say they are objectively better, because are independent, free & open source apps, instead of relying on patching Google’s proprietary software.

There are better alternatives for Android like NewPipe, Tubular and LibreTube

For PC, you can use FreeTube

Yes, I know, draw.io theoretically isn’t entirely open source, but the source code is available and it can be self-hosted. Honestly, that’s good enough for me, I think I can make an exception for this one. But generally I care a lot about strictly using FOSS too. It can also be integrated with Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/drawio

Yeah
