So… not on my TV then?

Some sites go by that, some go by user agent. I believe xh can fake it’s user agent, if I’m not mistaken.

A good compromise would be to go by known user agents, but also heed the accept header. 👍

Oookay, I guess it detects the user agent and only sends the IP number when it detects curl. Using xh did not work as intended.

Not sure it’s a brag, I see it as just saying, “hey guys, can we all just make a little effort? Perhaps the minimum effort?”

Saving this post to go spelunking after it has amassed some replies. Great question! I love music exploration.

Nah, Pi-Hole has never been able to block YT ads.

Thanks for the correction!

Yes, Pihole can solve that. “Normal” people don’t have Piholes though. And “normal” people really do purchase televisions, and install the YouTube app and watch videos with it.

Even better, yeah. So this solution shouldn’t feel necessary unless as a last ditch effort, definitely.

Would that allow me to log in to my YouTube account, watch my curated recommendations, thousands-of-items Watch Later list, watch shorts, etc, just without ads?

Big no thank you to anything Nvidia. Plasma Bigscreen doesn’t seem production-ready yet, by the looks of its web site. Either way, that would require me to get a PC and run its output to my TV, right? I’m unfortunately not considering that option right now.

CachyOS, Steam Machine, I already have a beast Arch Linux PC that I game on, so that’s not necessary. But what about that Waydroid business? Would I flash that on to my LG TV and run that as its OS or what is that about? All of these github projects that people link to do such a terrible job of explaining what it is exactly that they offer, and what to do with them.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Anything for WebOS (LG TVs)?

This should only become a necessary solution if YouTube invents a way to inject ads directly into the video stream of the video you’re watching, like old school broadcasting.

Is that available for TVs?

Is that available for TVs?

If you just click into the article you are absolutely blasted with statement after statement that this is only for TVs. Obviously if you have an ad blocker you wouldn’t see ads. 🙂

Whoa, what an image. This is some award-winning material.

I find subscribing to newsletters is comfortable. I get the most important stuff, and it’s good enough.

🤮

Yeah, Tuta has only permanent aliases, so once you’ve created one of your 15 aliases or whatever, that’s a permanent reduction of available aliases. And Tuta has no email masks, like others have.

And the searching is quite annoying, because they have zero knowledge of your data, so the searching needs to happen locally on the client. A consequence of the full encryption.

Personally, I’m okay with less encryption in order to make the searching a more smooth experience. But they will never change that.

we can withstand that as it’s pressing at us from all sides including inside.

Also because we’re mostly made of water, right? And water is basically practically incompressible.
