I never used it, but yeah I guess it’s basically the same. LibreTube, the Android App I use, just happens to use piped so I selfhost that and therefore also use it on the desktop.

Sounds like piped also has most of that. As a bonus, piped requires no account, no addons and no direct connection to google.

- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 1 week ago:
I know. The inherent problem of games made with those engines is the lack of motivation, knowledge and experience of devs to make (programmatically) good games. Only very few games using those engines are good in that sense, and as exceptions confirm a rule I’d just simplify it to that statement.
- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 1 week ago:
Many games, especially AAA games or ones relying on common game engines, are actually horribly inefficient. It’s hard to run any Unity/Unreal game in 4k on my 1070. Even if it has shit graphics like Lethal Company. What does run well? Smaller, custom engines, even Metro Exodus runs with 60+ FPS in 4k on my 1070, and still looks very good. Why? Because 4A Game is/was actually interested in creating a good engine and games. That’s the whole reason they split from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R team: Because, in their opinion, the engine was too inefficient.
Most games are just a quick cash grab tho, especially ones by large companies like EA. Other large companies with a significantly lower output of games, eg. Valve, do produce programmatically higher quality games tho.

Afaik Linux is always a bit more performant. But the two are not comparable anyway, simply due to Linux not being bloated.

I only use Windows in a VM, and never activated it, ever, but my point is that M$ officially thinks that their “advertisement delivery platform strapped to a program loader” is worth 259.00€.
- Comment on Ryzen CPU owners can now download better gaming performance thanks to a Windows 11 update 2 weeks ago:
Yep. But the fact M$ believes a few tools that are even far, far inferior to Linux’ tools are worth 60$ is a statement in itself.

Windows 11 Pro, doesn’t matter if it’s just the License or with USB, officially costs 259€. Which is ~289 USD.

And even for the US, it’s 200$.
www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-pro/…/000P
This is just the official price. Of course, you’ll almost always get free Win 11 Home with new computers, or a Volume License for 10€ from ebay, or you just don’t activate it. But the official price by M$ is 259€/200$. Which kinda means they think it is worth that much, and it would be justified to charge germans almost 300 USD for “an advertisement delivery platform strapped to a program loader”.

- Comment on iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones 3 weeks ago:
Any browser on iOS/iPadOS etc. is just a reskin of Safari. It might add new features - VPN, closing-all-tabs-feature, sync - but the underlying browser engine is still webkit, including all its limitations. Those limitations are, for example, limited debugging and no plugin support. Whereas I can install almost all desktop addons on my FF nightly on Android, I can’t even have adblock on “Firefox” iOS. And even after Apple opened up the browser stuff, so FF can now be based on gecko, Mozilla would need to create and maintain a whole new App - for the EU, because other countries won’t get those possibilities ever.
So FF on my iPad is just a way for me to access website-only stuff. In my Android phone, I also use eg. youtube/piped, deepl, maps in FF. That would be a pain on iOS due to missing Addons.
- Comment on Are selfhosted Piped instances still working? 3 weeks ago:
Usually you’ll just need the official Docker. It contains the frontend, backend and proxy. Technically, you only need the backend right now. But lifting the load of the official servers by using a selfhosted frontend is probably beneficial too, with no drawbacks. However, the proxy is the thing anonymizing you - accessing youtube always through it, even on the go, will deanonymize you further (kinda, it’s still better than the official app). If you have a list of proxies you can rotate through, you would be anonymous again.
Then there are other components, that you can find through the larger config file of the main Piped-Backend or TeamPiped’s GH profile itself. But again: Stuff like RYD-proxy will only be anonymous and beneficial with a rotating IP/proxy. But github.com/TeamPiped/region-restriction-checker is good to selfhost, as (afaik) it will help decentralize to circumvent censorship (zB. uHrHEbErRecHTsvERletZUnG die Ratten). But in order to configure your instance to use the region-restriction-checker, you’ll need the larger and more complete config file.ZL;NG:
github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Docker reicht eigentlich. Sonst einfach die einzelnen Repos angucken, was sich gut anhört. Proxy Zeug nur selber hosten wenns nicht um Privacy geht oder die IP verschleiert wird.
- Comment on Are selfhosted Piped instances still working? 3 weeks ago:
I have dozens of services, and most of them start their own http server, using a regular websocket binding to localhost and a port. As most of them are web services, I run out of standard ports pretty fast - 80, 8000, 8080, and then 8069, 8070 etc. Keeping tracks is a pain. Docker just makes it worse. Also, all non-web services have standard ports - 25, 456 for smtp/smtps, which nmap identifies. In my current state, an attacker could just open a random port on my server and I couldn’t notice.
Unix sockets are basically just regular files, where http traffic is written to and read from. So eg. gitlab-puma or piped-proxy creates the file /run/gitlab/gitlab.socket respectively /run/piped/proxy.socket, and my reverse proxy (nginx) communicates through that socket with the service, just as it would through a regular websocket using localhost and a port. Except unix sockets are easily identifiable (they are named and put in dirs dependent on their service) and can be access controlled much better - instead of any service in the whole network (assuming no firewall is present on the device, usually behind a consumer grade router) being able to communicate with the service, only members of the group http (nginx) or the services’ user can read/write to the socket, assuming nginx is save and root, http and the services’ user are not compromised, not even an attacker with access to the server can read any traffic, as it’s encrypted (https) to nginx, and not readable to other users through the socket file. It’s also a bit more performant. The catch is: Very few programs support it, and many of the ones that do implement it incorrectly. Usually I would create a specific user for a service (or sysusers.conf file would), under which the service runs in systemd, and which therefore owns the socket file. The http user is then added to the group of the services user, or the file’s group is set to http. With 770 (or 660) permissions (Read and write for the user and all users in the group, including http) everything would be fine, however, they’re usually 755, so only actually writeable for the owner, and not the group, so http, which makes communication impossible. And as just creating the file with correct ownership and permissions beforehand results in the service believing the socket is already in use, I usually have to patch the actual program itself. Maybe I can do something with systemd’s PostExec etc. tho.
And piped-backends library does not support unix sockets at all - so I will need to extend the incredibly complicated library itself to get what I want. Damn.
- Comment on Are selfhosted Piped instances still working? 3 weeks ago:
Yes. My private Instance works perfectly, and I’m so happy that I chose to selfhost it rn lol. And currently I’m on the quest to selfhost even more piped components, eg. RYD_Proxy, sponsorblock-mirror, make them buildable as a PKGBUILD and compatible with Unix sockets: git.30p87.de/piped

You could, in the EU. But as the EU is only a small portion of the market (Apple did not succeed as much with brainwashing here), Mozilla said it would be too costly to literally recreate FF from scratch for iOS, only for the EU market.
