Maybe just upload them to https://lightning.video from where you can also embedd the video in any other website.
I'll make a place for people to fetch archived videos in case youtube goes insane, bans accounts and so on. If people want to redistribute, they can do that.
Give me a few days because everything must be streamed now that there's a war between goog and yt-dlp, so it's slow af
yeah downloading from yt is hell of a job, I am doing it sometimes and upload to nostr CDNs or lightning.video
fetch.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# pass youtube ID as arg
# prevent downloading the same shit twice
mkdir -p vids
if [ -f vids/$1.mp4 ]; then
echo "Skipping $1: already exists.";
exit 0;
fi;
# ALWAYS create new onion circuit
echo -e 'AUTHENTICATE "yourcontrolpass"\r\nsignal NEWNYM\r\nQUIT' | nc 127.0.0.1 9051;
sleep 2;
# if fails, put the vid in the dead letter queue
yt-dlp -t mp4 -o vids/$1.mp4 --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 https://youtu.be/$1 || echo $1 >> dlq.txtedit in your TorControl password.
Sure! I started with youtube because, frankly, it's where the network effects of video hosting are. People know and are familiar with youtube. Sometime we have to keep in mind that bitcoiners like us are a little weird than most with our esoteric tools :-/
I'll probably avoid self-hosting the videos, because I don't want to run into any legal/copyright issues, but I'm open to looking at other sites (Rumble, bitcoin tv, zap.stream, etc.), provided they have good embedding options.
Perhaps @DarthCoin they are slaves to the fiat debt rentseeking paradigm whereby they can harvest rent from YouTube!
Really nice indeed.
I have only one aspect that I do not like, but is not really about you.
All videos are from Youtube. That means a noob when will open the page, and select a video, first will be bombarded with crap ads about AI and all the bullshit inserted by YT because all these YT influencers are subscribed to that crap to monetize their channels.
Being embedded, sometimes you can't even skip the ads.
Clearly the noob will not know what is going on.
I will suggest that if you can:
I really do not understand why all these youtubers do not post on https://bitcointv.com all those tutorials.
