Oh we're gonna do this again YouTube?

Self-hosting your own media content on a Raspberry Pi is not "dangerous or harmful".

I'm appealing of course; they're saying installing LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi circumvents copyright?!

Video used to be here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hFas54xFtg

We'll see if I can get it reinstated.

Last time they pulled down a video about self-hosted media libraries, it was put back up a few hours later after appeal.

I replaced my Apple TV—with a Raspberry Pi

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

@geerlingguy

Are you able to host this episode elsewhere? 🫤🤷‍♂️

@geerlingguy
I hate YouTube, but nothing compares for creators, yet
@geerlingguy whatever the outcome, consider putting it on archive.org and hosting it as a WebTorrent on your site.
@geerlingguy 7:07am in Germany, still down.
PeerTube.TV

Videos sharing & live streaming on free open source software PeerTube! No ads, no tracking, no spam.

@geerlingguy Best pi4 distro for running moonlight in 4k :D

(I mean in terms of getting it going clean, and ignore me saying best here)

@geerlingguy Owning and playing your own media files is obviously #piracy. Private citizens are not allowed to posses media. You are supposed to rent everything for a monthly rate.
@hisold @geerlingguy Consoom subscription, don't ask questions but get excited for the next subscription
@geerlingguy Linux is a four letter word, obviously.
@geerlingguy, maybe it's time to host your videos on @peertube. You can host your own instance and be self governed 🤔

@jan @geerlingguy @peertube i think he might have some extra hardware laying around to host 🤪

Maybe the next YouTube can be how to host and migrate to peertube

Though, I'm sure the revenue would take a major hit. No YouTube ad money, probably hard to get sponsored content.

Something something no ethical consumerism under capitalism something something

@4bz @geerlingguy @peertube I'm not suggesting to cut YouTube, but as alternative it could be great! Yeah, Jeff might have some spare HW to run #PeerTube inside his lab, that's true! 😃

@jan @geerlingguy

The world just needs to know how to make @peertube run in a Pi cluster 😉

@geerlingguy well since it's about self hosting, you could self host your online videos as well. Go @peertube !
@zerkman @geerlingguy @peertube I've seen a bunch of channels backing up their videos on peertube, mostly on public instances tho, but it would be an interesting chance to make a video about starting with a peertube instance
@geerlingguy "dangerous or harmful" must be corporate speak for risk to their profits, not long ago I saw someone's video on building a Pi-hole network adblocker get the same kind of strike.
@geerlingguy More YouTube bullshit. If a user can, contest those strikes because they're usually nonsense.
@geerlingguy it's potentially harmful to YouTube's income.
@geerlingguy it is dangerous to your own self esteem to host anything on a pi, i mean yeah it is ok if you like pain
@geerlingguy one could feasibly call this dangerous/harmful for *YouTube* in that it creates competition for YouTube! It allows people to happily spend time watching video outside of YouTube! Inexcusable! 
@dside @geerlingguy Yup. It’s the same logic with everything that becomes a regime. Anything that contests the ruler is harmful, terrorist, nazi or something.
@dside @geerlingguy It circumvents monopolism. They don't like that.

@dside @geerlingguy

That's why comments with links get deleted; they might take you away to the dangerous World Wide Web outside of YouTube, which is potentially harmful. (And there's no appeals process or even published standards for those.)

@geerlingguy been there, done that. You are going to suffer from that as they are going to degrade your account and stop playing your videos out. At least that is what has happened to me. Besides a 'psychological test' to make sure I am aligned with 'their values'.
. @geerlingguy This type of bullying by an awful corporation like Google should be called out on every possible occasion.
@geerlingguy oh my Lord. This again, this squeezing of people who show how you can take control over your own hardware and software. It should be encouraged for people to be curious, try and discover... Not lock you in and keep you away from experimenting on your own.
@geerlingguy in 10 years the internet went from free speech eldorado to 1984 levels of censorship...
@Idaho @geerlingguy corporate control of platforms cause this and their abandonment in mass is the solution. We're already starting the process by being here and we need to continue the fight
@geerlingguy insert obligatory question here about what content they used to train their AI models.
@geerlingguy
Safer headline would be: How I use Raspberry Pi and LibreElec to ... train my LLM AI models, wink wink.
@geerlingguy how dare you not upload all your media in the cloud.
@geerlingguy It’s dangerous and harmful to their interest of monitoring and determining what you see and think.
@geerlingguy It's the same thing as forbidding chefs to use a knife to cook, that makes no sense.
@geerlingguy Oh, copyright which isn't used to train LLMs is still important to Google, although this have nothing to do with it? Damn. I love our technofascist dystopia.
@geerlingguy What a joke! Just 4 monopolies protecting each other.
@geerlingguy anything that makes people less of their serf is a threat...
@geerlingguy Felony contempt of business model (C)
@geerlingguy Circumventing Copyrights is not a crime. It is a necessity.
@geerlingguy YouTube is absolutely going to kill that goose to see how it was making all those golden eggs. I've pretty much abandoned watching YouTube except for a few synthesizer nerds and SciShow.
@AlgoCompSynth @geerlingguy it's not really the best place to upload videos anymore. Streaming is diverse enough they don't have Monopoly and hosting non-commercial slop is going to be better somewhere else. The Adpocalypse and everyone getting sponsors means that they depend Less on the platform for their income.
@fluffykittycat @geerlingguy I don't upload to YouTube. I just watch, mostly popular science and synthesizer nerds.
@geerlingguy Peertube! I would subscribe.
@geerlingguy Hearing google talking about how creatives should be fairly compensated never fails to crack me up.
@geerlingguy crappy AI and algorithms are reason enough alone to self host, as the youtube generated “content warning” is helpfully reinforcing.
@geerlingguy corpo censorship is getting out of hand. Peertube it is then
@geerlingguy Big media is still angry about the fact that even in sketchy neighborhoods and FB marketplace you'll find people selling "Kodi Boxes" or Fire Sticks with Kodi sideloaded intended for piracy.
@geerlingguy @pjakobs I assume, it’s not taken down by a human but by automatism. I think you have all the keywords in that video that would appear in piracy videos too.
Now a human has to really check (watch?) the content to see, if you are talking about how to consume illegal content easily or if it is about how to use content you bought or created yourself.

@geerlingguy They're beginning to issue warnings for using adblockers in a browser again as well. I had it pop up a couple of times the past three days.

Refreshing the cache of uBlock Origin seems to solve it, but they're restarting their campaign to nag users into get premium subscription (with ads!) as well.

@geerlingguy I just went into my Google Account settings and it was apparently about to remove access for Home Assistant without even notifying me. They really really hate self-hosting. 
@geerlingguy Literally 1984 george orwell
@geerlingguy
The joy of monopolies! 🙄
@geerlingguy that is why there is odysee and peertube. I gave up watching YouTrash years ago just because of this.
